recommend working nights with school?

Specializes in Med/Surg, ER and ICU!!!.

I am starting school back in Aug. I currently work 2-10 (LTC). I will be in school from 8-12:30, M,T,W,Thurs. I will be working 9-10 days q 2 weeks. I have been offered to go to nights (10a-6a). I will have an average of 4 hours study time (maybe more) if I do this, but I have always felt that you need to feel "refreshed" (7-8hours sleep) before school. Any recommendations? Anyone working either shift, and able to do it? I do have 2 kids (8 & 4) that I will not get to see during the school year if I continue on the evening shift.

Thanks ahead for your thoughts!
