Working while going to school

I just accepted a job at the hospital (dream CNAII job), but I start school in August. I would like to keep a spot at the hospital while I'm going to school, but I'm not sure if I can juggle it all. I have to study in order to make good grades, although I catch on quickly.

Here's the rub. The hospital doesn't hire LPN's. Their clinics do, but the hospital itself doesn't. I ultimately want to be an RN, but this is the route I chose for multiple reasons. The school requires a full time work experience for 6 months as an LPN in order to enter the LPN to RN program.

Any thoughts, questions, or advice are greatly appreciated.

    Work at one of their associated clinics PRN or part time once you have your LVN while getting your RN, then apply to the hospital. You'll be a strong candidate with experience in the network and computer system. Would also be a good opportunity to get a rec letter from a clinician who works at both the clinic and the hospital, if the opportunity arises.
