So after being employed at one of the 2 local hospitals for 3 years in december I got enough money together to go back to school. However in doing so I've realized its been almost 10 since I was last in college or school of any kind and its hard doing both this and a full time job. As although the hospital loves to say "we will work with your schedule and make sure you have time for class" they refuse to do so. I asked to remove 1 day from the week that I would work and in exchange I would work longer shifts the rest not including when i work weekends as that would stay the same. Since then I would work everyday of the week except 1 in that situation.

However that was turned down and my bosses answer instead to the problem was that I instead of getting an extra day off what if instead of having saturdays off I got wednesday off.
Which didnt solve anything as the whole problem is that at the time I had signed up for basically 5 classes (prerequisites) and they were requiring more time than I could give them. So I ended up dropping 2 classes after talking to coworkers and am now taking 3 classes. Those being anatomy&physiology (and the lab which counts as a 2nd course) and med term. I've not had much of an issue with med term but the other my god is destroying my sanity. As I thought it was about how the human body worked and the various body parts. However its like 10 pages of that and the rest has been periodic table questions, what makes up a cell, how certain chemicals/elements mix, how atoms for molecules and the whole time I'm just confused how this is going to affect me during surgery as I dont think I'll ever need most of the info. Also just the amount of work from that class is ridiculous as well since the teacher basically says here's the book and the assignments figure it out.
