mced Specializes in ER, OPEN HEART RECOVERY. Has 5 years experience. Dec 13, 2006 Get a job working as a tech PRN. You will make more money and can schedule around tests and clinicals. The best part is that you will be able to directly apply what you are learning and develop basic nursing skills, especially if you work in the ED. Makes school much easier. 0 Likes

TheCommuter, BSN, RN Specializes in Case mgmt., rehab, (CRRN), LTC & psych. Has 15 years experience. Dec 13, 2006 The 2-day plan (Baylor Plan) is rare, but jobs with this type of schedule still exist. I have Monday through Friday off, then work 32 hours over the weekend with benefits and differentials that add up to a 40 hour paycheck. Since I have 5 days off in a row during the week, I attend school full-time. 0 Likes

DizzyLizard Dec 16, 2006 I worked with a staffing agency so my hours were flexible and I could work in between classes. A full time job and full time school is tough but it can be done. 0 Likes
