What's the schedge for LPN students who work as CNAs

I am entering an accelerated LPN program and wondering how to make it work. As of right now I'm thinking about working 3-11 every day save for clinicals which are Thurs and Tues.

I'm also considering working NOC 5ish days out of the week.

My schedule is 8a-2:40p Mon Wed Fri and 7a-7p clinicals Tues and Thurs

I wanted to keep working 2 doubles on the weekend but I'd have to live in my car and that would be brutal during summer and winter

Any advice?

CNA pivot

I am leaving DSP for CNA soon. I decided that tuition reimbursement was not worth tolerating the nonsense from individuals and staff alike.

I have had to go to another house near to receive paper to fax because the person at the house wasn't tech savvy, they hire anyone off the street. Staff steal the items of other staff occasionally, they steal the individuals food often, they sleep for hours and the status quo is to avoid digging your feet into any real work.

I'm the youngest In my house so staff try to offload their tech issues onto me, they don't even try. They also hire staff that can't read or write English properly so they'll try to get me to print out the answers to various required trainings. No "please" btw just "print me the answers"

To top it off, it's a high needs house, people leave the house all the time due to the individuals needs nevels

We won't even touch on the incessant gossip.

I don't think CNA is all rainbows by any means. but for higher pay and less "personal" work I think it's a good shift. I enjoyed the downtime of this job but I think I'm leaving around my one year anniversary.

Quitting nursing school, looking for different options.

I'm almost one year into being diagnosed and I am at a low point. I'm about to disappoint everyone and leave nursing school. The pain and fatigue became too much. I also don't have a car or a calm stable home environment.

I would like to move out on my own, but now that I don't have a track to a lucrative career I have to look into a new path. I have three pets that have to come with me, so I'm probably looking at owning OR renting a basic mobile home so that we all can live together.

I currently work a behavioral health job on weekends, fortunately when I'm not flaring i bust my ass, so when I am flaring my coworkers have absolutely no problem picking up the slack. Love them.

I'm not picky, but I'm not a people person and working on my feet/with my hands doesn't seem sustainable or even possible with my pain. Does anyone work in a career that is stable and not hard on the body? Does anyone do online work like triage, e-commerce, ETC? Or any seated jobs that pay?

I have some practical business plans as well but no capital. Sucks to suck.

Who had to move out?

I have simply resigned to my food addiction until I can move out of my current house (I'm working diligently on it). My current house is not only stocked with trigger foods but with People that stress me out daily.

I posted this issue on another weight loss sub and I got absolutely flamed. Can anyone relate? When away from home obviously I overeat, but not nearly as much and no binges. The longest I have been away from home was 3 weeks and I lost about 7 pounds.
