I work right now while I am going to school. I graduate from LPN school in january and have been working for a few months. I love working (even though it is really hard work), I have learned so much working, then I ever do in clinicals. The nurses on the floor I work (cardiac surgical unit) are so wonderful and love to teach me about different things and let me watch or participate in interesting things that come along. So, for me, it is beneficial! Plus, it is always nice to have the extra money. Butterfli
