A little background: I'm a single mom of five, all older kids (8.5 to 18), and I've been in school for years, so I'm not new at the school + work thing. However, I know nursing is an entirely different ballgame. I can keep my current job and drop to part time, as they're flexible, but my current job will allow no studying once I switch back to days (I'm currently a night stocker full time and can listen/watch videos while working, study quizzlets, etc while working) as I'll be on the retail sales floor with other humans while there.
Having said that, I'm looking into other options for work. Later on, I'd like to find a position in a hospital in order to increase my employability post graduation, but right now my priority is finding something where I can study some while working. I'm not expecting distraction free studying while working, but being able to do *some* studying while working would be helpful, as I could work a bit more and cover our bills better. I obviously have zero issues with working graveyard shift, so anything at night is welcome too. I have looked into working security or at a hotel front desk overnight, but nothing else is really coming to mind.
Worst case, I can continue in my current position, I'm just worried about paying bills and working less than 20 hours a week and don't feel that I should expect to be able to handle more than that realistically.
