Working while in nursing school? Tell your story..

[Reesa23]

I was just wondering what type of work everyone else was doing to get thru nursing school if at all. Currently I work in the staffing resource center (means I float to what ever unit needs help) at a level 1 trauma hospital as a PCT (I've been a CNA for 10 years now) where I'm going on 3 years of employment. I only work a .5 (part-time...2 days one week, 3 the next) and I get the flexibility to make my own schedule every month and I'm only required to work 3 weekend days a month, one can be a friday and still count. Its not easy work and I do come home exhausted for the measly $11 an hour I get. But I do get good benifits for me and my husband. We to have tuition re-imbursement that I just filled out for, for the first time. I think we get $1,500 for part time and $3,500 for full time. I know this hospital offers to pay for your BSN when you are an RN thru a program at the hospital or you can just take the tuition reimbursement. As much as I want to quit and just concentrate on school hubby and I can't aford that. I guess I'm lucky enough just to work part-time. Their is one girl at the hospital going for her RN at CC and she is working full time and has the whole way. She will be starting her second year. But I'm getting burnt out. Help me think of ways to get thru it! Tell me your story!
