Im FREAKIN out

I'm sooo happy for you and I feel your joy. I'll be starting in July and I already have those butterflies.

Good luck! you will get a ton of work right out of the gate, so much to learn in a short time. I'm in week two we have a test the day after tomorrow on a ton of stuff already! My biggest recommendation is to make sure you organize well. It takes the anxiety out of the overwhelming data they through at you if you can set priorities and are very organized.

" Ive explained to my boss that i need cut back, but she keeps insisting i keep up my hours." Do you have to work while in school? If you do and they are not willing to work with you,then I would be looking for a job elsewhere. Are they paying for it? They may have a certain amount of hours you need to work. Although,this is about you. The time you are in school will pass regardless if you are working toward your goal or not. I think it better to strive toward the goal than have to worry about pressures from an inflexible boss. My guess is,if it's anything like where I work,your running on a skeleton crew. If you are a good worker that can be manipulated to work more they will take advantage of it. I'm also finding more and more they are really only interested in their bottom line. Good luck.

I had no choice but to leave my job.

I worked 50 hours a week

I do work on Sat.

It would of been unfare to myslef and employer if I did not find a replacement for myself.

What type of program are you in?

I am in an accelerated full time day program.

Can you find another job with better hours?

Good luck to you

Thanks for all the replies and advice. I am anxious about tomorrow, but not as bad as i thought id be. I will be in school Mon, Tue, lab on Wed, Clinical Thur and class Fri. I do have to work so i will have health insurance and to pay my bills. My employer does reimburse for my classes and books, up to 4,000 a year or if you're part time they will pay a portion. We are down a couple aids at work, so i understand they need me. I have been telling my boss since last semester that I might be going to part time, so she has had time to plan. I dont know, i guess i'll just tell her what i can do and she'll have to deal with it. It just adds to my anxiety when i constantly have her asking to add more visits to my schedule. Im sure i will posting more frequently thanks again

Good Luck, mfuentes and try to stay focused on the prize.
