workinh overnights and school on the weekends

[JMosby4]

So Im thinking about working overnights form 11-7 full time everyother weekend. My school schedule is friday- saturday 830 to 5pm. I want to work in go to school i just dont know how would it work out being up all those hours . I dont want to fall behind in my classes because of lack of sleep. Have anyone experienced this situation before? Please I need pointers before I make a decision.

If you mean to say that you will have to work 11pm-7am as well as then go to school from 8:30am-5pm every other weekend then that would be a big fat NO. By the time you get home and shower and go to bed then wake up to get ready for work, you will get less than 4 hours of sleep. This will likely lead to either falling asleep on the job, falling asleep in class, or falling asleep while driving. Find a job with different hours.

Uh yeah, what the person above me said. That would be insane. If your classes are on the weekend, then you would want shifts any other days than the weekend.

i currently work about 30 hours a week (non healthcare) and do a few nights during the week (5 hours or so) and then work longer shifts on the weekend. My classes/clinicals are all during the week in the daytime.

I want to get a CNA/PCA position where I could to 3 12's. Two on the weekend and one during the week where it wouldn't effect my school schedule.

I would reconsider.

You may be able to swing it, but either your sanity, grades, or sleep patterns will take a hit.

Go part time, or change school hours if possible.
