I am starting my BSN program this fall. It's a 3 year program, with summers off.
I have the opportunity to take a nursing assistant position at a local hospital. It's a PT postition (20 hrs a week), and it's on midnights, so it wouldn't effect my school schedule.
The thing is, I am married with 2 small kids (3 and 1), so it's not like I can just sleep whenever I want/need to. Part of me says it's only part time, and that's do-able. I am lucky in that I don't *need* to work. I'm mostly interested for the experience (though the money is admittedly nice).
Do you work during school? Have you worked opposite shifts like this? What does a 20 hr work week look like for you? (1-12 hr and 1-8 hr? Or a several 4 or 5 hour shifts? I just have no idea what to expect.)
What would you do?
