So i want to go back to school for NP, but I dont know what would be the best job to have while in school? 12hr shift floor job or M-F desk job. I can fit school easily with either but I am not sure if anyone else has tried this. What is your opinon on the matter?

I just started an NP program. I work 12 hour shifts,..not sure how I would get in all my clinical hours if I worked 5 days a week!

A friend of mine is finishing up her last few months of NP school at Duke. She worked 3 12s in a row and it worked out well for her. She is tired a lot, but focuses on the light at the end of the tunnel to get her through the long days!

Good luck to you.
