What's "Pool"?? Thank you, though :) This was helpful! Everyone's answers were!

I am going FT. Right now I go to class 4 days a week but next semester I'm going 3 days a week, my advisor is pretty good about getting me the class times that I want. I'm single with no children as well. I have a friend who is working in the same facility currently and shes doing the 36 hrs a week while in school, she said the same thing you did; it's all about time management. The big downer is that my school is about a 35ish minute drive from my house. And from the facility...the facility is like a 10 minute drive from my house...

I've already asked this question in a forum, but didn't get an answer at all. I'm in a BSN program at my school and this is my first semester. I have finished all of my CNA training and I'm just waiting to take my state test on the 21st of December. I'm planning on getting a job at a local long term care facility working 36 hours a week (which is considered 'part time' there). I want the hours because I need the money. So I just need to know; how will these 36 hours a week work out once I actually start the major? Is it doable?

How many hours are you working a week? I'm thinking about working 35ish hours a week while in school, but I think it'll be too hard

I'm not a CNA (yet!) but for my clinicals we spent 4 7h shifts in a nursing home. I did a lot of dirty work. A big one for me was dealing with runny stool and wiping butts. For some reason the smell of urine made me want to throw up. Fortunately, by the end of my fourth day I didn't gag or really cringe at anything I had to do

Well, my school is in Ohio. It's about a half hour drive from my house. There are a couple pretty big schools in my area though, and I never thought of housing around there. Thank you :) They probably will be cheaper than in an apartment building.

Hi everyone! I'm new to this whole thing, I love coming here and reading through the forums; they're so helpful! I just started my first semester of college this past month, and wow, is all I have to say. I'm considered 'Pre-Nursing' right now, I'm going for BSN. I've completed my CNA training, and I just got my ATT today in the mail to go take my state test (Michigan). I had a couple questions about the whole CNA job and living on my own. Where I want to be employed (they start off at about $12 an hour) is it possible to work a 30 maybe even 40 hour week to afford an apartment? The one I've been looking at is about $500 a month plus utilities. HELP! I just need a peace of mind as to whether it's possible to be moved out on my own with a CNA job plus being a full time nursing student.
