I just aced a phone interview and have been offered an on-site interview for a great outpatient surgery PCT job. However I just started thinking... what if it is a monday-friday kind of thing? I need to work throughout nursing school, but I mean... if I am in nursing school, the only time I can really work is the weekend, right? Do you think they won't hire me because I am starting nursing school this coming fall or winter and would only be able to work weekends at that time? I mean until then I am completely flexible..... Ugh! I was so excited for this job until I realized this problem... I feel crushed! Maybe when I start nursing school they can transfer me to another clinic or unit that is open on weekends?

What is your experience with outpatient clinic hours? Or what is your idea of how to work throughout nursing school?
