I was curious to know where everyone works while taking pre-reqs. I am just going to school now but I am looking for a job and just did not know what type of work would be best as far flexibility and all that. Will be nice to hear from you!

Hi Jessica! I put my pre-req's aside last semester to get licensed as a CNA (Certified Nursing Asistant). So I am currently looking for a hospital job, so I can work 12 hour night shifts (3 12-hour shifts a week is full time). I find this option may be the best! Have you considered working from home, or babysitting/childcare in your home so you can squeeze into some study time? Until getting my CNA, I watched 2 of my friend's kids (both 2 year olds). It worked great, b/c my daughter is 2 also, it was like a playgroup, and I got some work done, too!

I clean houses while doing pre-reqs for nursing school. Extremely flexible schedule and u pretty much plan when u want to work. Plus, I average about $20 an hour if you work fast. I clean twice a week in the afternoon and it is working out great so far.

I wash cars. It's nice because I can skip work if I need to study:)

I work in a group home for developmentally disabled adults... It's very flexible, I get to work part-time, and coworkers are always willing to switch shifts or pick up one of my shifts (because I try and do the same for them). the downside is it's only $8.50 an hour. But it's a lot of fun. :) I did initially have to do 3 weeks of (paid) training, which wasn't very flexible and the training center was a bit far from from my house- 5 days a week from 9am-4pm. If you can work out the training part between semesters (assuming you're in the US and every state requires it?) it's a good job to have, and group homes always need people.

I also work part-part-time at a restaurant, they just call me when they need me! Waitressing is good money, if you can get into a good (ie busy) restaurant and they allow you some flexibility it's perfect for a student.

I work as a medical assistant in an Urgent Care clinic. It's nights and weekends so it works out well. I am also working for the school as a lab assistant for A&P II this semester. Every bit helps :)
