I worked as a healthaide while in Nursing school. I did full time. It was a struggle and I did quit
My job while in my last course due to stress. I do think it's possible to do both. Only u know what you can and cannot handle. Good luck . U are going to love your job.

Hi nurseloveJoy my name is Ashley I seen your post on What do nurses do in their downtime? and seen that you work as a school nurse and are going through school. I wanted to ask you are you going to school partime or full time and are you able to balance the 2 well, Cause I just got a job as a health assistat at an elementery school and I love my job but I'm so pose to start nursing school soon, so I was wondering how well are you able to balance the two.
Thanx for your help.
Ash

The RENEW program is for how. county residents only. The nursing program is open for all. I was just saying that I did not have to do the lottery due to me being in that program.
I am in the evening/weekend program. The we have class mon and wed and clinicals e/o weekend. We also have lab on thur and fri nights some days.

The entire program is only for Howard County residents or just the RENEW program, and also what does your school schedule consist of? Are you in the evening/weekend program

Hello quick question I am interested in HCC LPN program I have a B in Micro and a A in AP I, it looked as if those were the only qualifying requirements. Also I am not a Howard county resident how dificult do you think it'll be fo rme to get accepted

So when do you find time for school? Are your classes online? All the nursing schools where I am are during the day.

If you don't mind me asking, what is your school/work schedule ? I am applying to nursing school and currently work as a health aide in a school...... I'm trying to figure out how to make it work.
Thanks so much. And good luck - I think you made a wise decision to hang in there.

I just wanted to say that despite her great amount of experience and knowledge there are times when Daytonite is just plain rude. Good for you for calling her on it.

you, um...get in your car/suv/truck and drive. :-) I joke with my friends that the only people that go to work in a blizzard are nurses and meterologists....
