How many hours do you work?

I work 32 hours per week as an LPN/LVN in a nursing home. My hours consist of 16-hour double shifts every Saturday and Sunday, which enables me to have Monday through Friday off to attend school full-time.

I work 54 hrs in a week............... Monday thru friday 6-2pm.

I'm doing 36hrs a week in a correctional facility while in the full time program. Its do-able, it just feels like I don't have a life.

I'm somewhat puzzled. Monday through Friday 6-2pm adds up to 40 hours in a week, not 54 hours per week.

Do you work overtime shifts to arrive at the 54 hour weekly figure?

I don't usually take my entitled 30mins break plus hours spent before given report. Also I do pull double shift. Hope this clarify my 54hrs!

I work 16 hours every other weekend. I give kudos to the other Nurses that work a full time shift every week. If you have to work full time it is possible. One of my best friends in the program works Sunday night from 7p-7:30am then comes to school on Monday from 11-4:30.

I work 30hrs/week in addition to 20hrs/week of class, clinical, and lab time. The way I see it, in nursing school you can either adjust your schedule accordingly or your grades can take the fall.

I'm in an online LPN-RN bridge program. I've been working three 12's nights a week throughout the program. Right now I'm in the middle of clinicals and it really feels like I have no life! I work my 36 hours, have one day to turn my night schedule back to a day shift schedule and then go right into another 3 days of clinicals. Yuck! Can't wait til I'm done with clinicals and back to the didactic portion. I'll have another set of clinicals to wrap things up in March-April. I think it works for me because it's a long-term care facility that I've worked at for close to 2 years now. Can't imagine starting a new job in the midst of the program.
