Nursing students -Try and get the job or keep what I have?

Ok here's the deal I am currently a patient sitter at a hospital and it's great. I work PRN, and when I have the option-which is often- I am able to do homework. Which is great when you are in college. But this is not me. Sitting around bores me, and it doesn't offer the experience I need, that I know would help me in nursing school. What I would love to do is be an E.R. tech. Which I know has more potential for being busy work that the nurses do not care to do. But that doesn't bother me. Everyone has to work there way up the chain. I know that. The pros of the job- more experience, getting to know more people, a set schedule, better pay. Cons- not able to do my homework, and a set schedule. If there is anyone here who is currently in the medical field or has ever been through a similar situation your advice would be greatly appreciated.

I was a nurse, retired from that because of an accident.

My advice is to stick with the job that you have. You need to stay very diligent about your school work right now and if you have a job that pays you to study stay there.

It is your choice but being young, in school, working and then trying to find time for a life and homework is a stress that you don't need.

Good luck with what ever decision that you make.

I would keep the job that you have so that you can study. I find it hard having a full time job and being a full time student, and I really enjoy the fact that sometimes I can study@ work.
