Thanks for the encouragement, guys!

Hi everyone! I'm about to enter my final year of nursing school next month, and I just accepted a 28 hrs/week night shift float pool CNA position at a nearby hospital. I'm a good student, but I am a little worried about finding time to sleep. My school is prone to creating unpredictable clinical schedules, and I don't know how flexible my manager will be. If I have to, I would quit the job to stay afloat in classes, but I really want the experience the job offers (and would love to work there as an RN when I graduate in the spring) and need to pay for school. Am I insane to try to work that much right now? Any tips on finding time to sleep on a crazy schedule? Any advice you guys can offer would be so appreciated. Thanks!!

Michael Linares' YouTube channel- Michael Linares - YouTube He gives a lot of acronyms and easy ways to remember concepts, which are helpful especially when prepping for the NCLEX. Good luck!! :)

Congratulations on starting a nursing program!! You are about to enter some of the hardest but most rewarding years of your life. Pen and paper will always win out for me- writing things down is proven to help you remember them better. But if your school uses primarily e-textbooks or has a lot of online material (quizzes, videos, etc.) then it might be worth it to invest in a laptop. Good luck! :-)
