Want to keep my job!!!

I'm in my second year of LPN school...I spend about 32-36 hours a week in classroom and clinicals. I also spend an additional 2-5 hours a day studying, and work part-time. I'm married, and have children (teenagers). YES...it is very hard...but if you are determined to do it, you can make it. All you need is support of your family, your workplace (for scheduling), and great time management. Keep working the job you love, because working as a CNA will give you a great advantage in nursing school (my opinion).

If you allocate a certain timeframe each day for studying than it should not be any trouble. For me I allocate approximately 3 hours/day for studying Mon-Fri, and up to 6 hours each day Saturday and Sunday. It's like having two full-time jobs I'm sure, but I work fourty hours a week now, am a full-time post-baccalaureate student completing pre-reqs, have a two year old, and pursue hobbies. I will be cutting down to 32 hours/week at work (to keep benefits) and cut back on hobbies when I start the program though.
