Working 6am-2pm as CNA and Night LPN program Manageable?

[downsouthlaff, LPN]

I know that I would have to probly give up EMS, but would working 6-2 in LTC as CNA during day (wich I do now) and going to a night Practical Nursing program 5-9pm (24 months) be manageable or too much? Thanks

How many days will you be working? I know the program I am in says they recommend if you are full time working no more than 12 hours a week. The hours you put down at my school is considered part time and I know for part time they say no more than 16 hours a week. That is what they recommend, but I know of people who have worked and put themselves through nursing school. It can be done, its more about time management and dedication and as long as you have that you should be fine. Luckily my fiance will be working full time while I go to school so I wont have to work, but unfortunately thats not the case for everyone.

Thanks for reply and I would have to keep at Lear a 32 hour week!! But this particular program is very spread out very slow and designed to accomadate working people so I'm told!

its best to not include any distractions, i start april and ill be making that sacrifice of not working the whole 15 months.

try just working weekends!!

That's pretty much what I did.I worked 7 days a week and went to class Tuesdays and Thursdays 6-10. I was a single mom with 2 small kids. I graduated third from the top in my class.You should be fine.
