Work during school?

[STA29]

I am starting RT school in a week and I am currently a stay at home mom of 2. I am thinking of getting a part time job and need opinions on whether or not this is feasible with two kids ages 7 and 21 months. Has anyone else done this?

I dont know how demanding RT school is, but if it is like RN school here are some pointers. Find a job that is willing to work with your schedule and let them know that school comes first. Also, I suggest finding an easy job that you can study at. I have a couple of fellow students who sit for a home health agency overnight. All they do is sit in a chair and make sure that pt has on clean depends, have needs met, and they are safe. This allows them to do lots of studying. There are lots of people who cant handle it, they either quit their job or quit (fail) school. It all depends on your support system and how willing you are to LITERALLY have no time for fun.
