I just received a part-time, 3rd shift job at the hospital. The hours are 11-7AM. I desperately need to get back into school since I took this past semester off. I've never worked night-shift before. For those of you who have...how did you manage school and work at the same time? Did you choose night classes before your shift or take 8AM classes after your shift? :sleep::nurse::unsure: Any advice would be appreciated! :up:

If you do the poll the question, please leave an explanation in a comment as well. :D Thank you!

I work 10:30pm-7am, 8:30am classes three days. In between there I'm running kids to school. It's hard at first, start a routine and you'll be golden. Sleep when you can, if I work a 5 day stretch, I get in a 4 hour nap before work.
