I just want to know what others would do.
I got this part-time job doing inventory for RGIS. I put down when they asked when I could work "any time". First week- all I work is 1 day. The next week- oh my.
I have this job that's 2 hours away on Wed. Thursday I have a 4 hour job that starts at 6am. Thursday night I have a 7hr job that starts at 9pm. (that one is inventoring a major department store) Then Friday morning I have a job that starts at 6am (4hrs). So what it means is that I'm really not going to get any sleep between Thursday and Friday.
I just don't know what to do. If I tell them that I really don't want to work the Friday morning shift- they're probably going to tell me that 1) I said when I signed up for this job that I could work whenever and 2) I've already asked for a day off- so too bad- so sad, we're going to let you go.
We could use the money. My oldest has this $600 trip to Chicago with orchestra in May. My youngest has $150 worth of dance recital costume money due in January.
However- I'm also trying to get into nursing school. The reason why I asked for a day off is b/c the school I'm trying to get into has an NET review session on a Monday evening. I HAVE to pass this stupid test in order to get into the program. And I have worked my butt off on pre-requisites. And I know they're gonna have a fit when I "ditch" this job in 6 months b/c you can't work and go to nursing school at the same time.
I have this developmental math class I have to take as well. And I HAVE to pass this class as well in order to take the College Algebra class this other school (a hospital based program) wants. And they won't let me into the Fall '09 class without finishing the Algebra class (which I'm taking during the summer, before I start school in the fall). If I'm working as crazy hours as this- will I have a chance to pass this class? This week's schedule that I just got- is a week where I don't have class, that doesn't start until Jan 12.
Oh- and I didn't mention the fact that this is the 2nd shot I've got a nursing school. I was in a program. Lasted 1 semester. Had to drop out of the program b/c I didn't pass Pharmacology by 21 pts, and the rule is- the first time you fail a course, you have to drop out of the program, re-apply and then start from Fundamentals (which I passed). I had a problem with clinical hours (didn't feel like we got enough) and this hosptial program has 2x the amount of clincal/lab time, and I felt that I had a better shot at being successful at the hospital program vs the associate's program.
All I wanted was a low-stress part time job so I could help out for a couple of months.
