Full time vs Part time

[Marz]

Just curious to see what track people choose? If you go full time, do you still work?

I'm doing school full-time and yes, I am still working - (3) 10 hour shifts.

I'm working about 30 hours a week at the moment going to a part-time program. Once clinicals start I will be following my preceptors schedule (I want all the clinical time I can get) so I'll be working much less at that point.

I'll be doing a full time program and will work full time (three 12 hour shifts per week) until I start clinicals in 2018. I'll either drop to part time or per diem once clinicals start.

I work 1-2 days a week (mostly once per week), and I'm going part time. It will take me 2 yrs and a semester to complete the program. I also have a 2 and a 4 yr old who were 6 months and 2.5 yrs old when I started the program.

I am in a part time program and I work full time Monday through Friday. I am starting clinicals now and thankfully my manager has been very flexible with my schedule so I am able to do both. I am the sole breadwinner for my family so not working, or working less, is not an option. I am taking some ETO days to attend clinical, or doing clinical on the weekend/evening and then working remote on Wednesdays so I can attend class. It's a tough schedule but it's temporary. If I can get through this I can do anything!

I work full-time (three 12s) and go to school part-time. I am starting clinicals this summer and so will also be switching work to either part-time or per diem (most likely the latter) like some of the others in this thread. I would like to get in as many clinical hours as possible!

I'm going full-time and work 24 hours/week.
