• Answer:

  You would not be able to go into school nursing immediately after graduation as you need experience and additional (there is a course for school nurses) training. So you could work 2 jobs that had 12 hour shifts or 2 jobs that were 8 hour if you so wanted in a hospital to start. Working in a hospital at the same time as a school RN would probably only allow you to work casual or per diem because the shifts are very rigid in a hospital (12 hour or 8 hours mostly, some 10; 7a-7p; 3-11 etc), and school nursing is usually 5 days a week. You might not have time to drive between jobs and you can not be late to either job. You would have to look around carefully for a second job that had hours that worked around the school.Say you got off at 2; you could make it to a 3-11 job if there was one offered. You could work summers & weekends at the hospital very easily though.
