I was a CNA for 13 years, just recently became a LPN, on my way to my RN(God willing). Back problems are common in this field of work but being short is not the cause. I am 5' 2" tall and a powerhouse of a woman(weight training and proper lifting technique). Know your limits and ask for help when needed even if it puts you behind a few minutes and this should protect your back for life. Team work in this field of work is essential, find a place that truely practices it if you can(sounds easy:)).

I agree with all of the above. I would wake up at 0400 to study so that when the kids got home from school I could be with them morning and night. When I started full time nursing student I went to work for an agency, my work life was a buffett, took what I wanted and left what I didn't. Our instructors encouraged us to only work 16 hrs per week...I know that is not enough to pay bills but alot of us took out student loans to tide us over till graduation and is worth it cause most of those who worked more didn't make it through to the middle semesters. Get creative with finances and see what happens, you just might free up some time you would have missed without(or pass a test:)). Good Luck!

Stand in the end you will still be you.Stand for the things you know are right. you are one who did all the things you set out to do.There is a cross for you to bear. Stand you have been sitting much too long. There is a midget standing tall and a giant about to fall. Stand Stand STAAAAAAND! Stand they will try to make you crawl. Stand don't you know you are free. Well at least in your mind if you want to be. Everybody! Stand Stand STAAAND!Na na na na nanana na na. Liberties taken and out of contex but I think I get it:) Sly and the Family Stone
