Thank you all for yor advice. I understand that I do not have to be given the same unit or shift but my hours are not the same I currently only work 36hrs/ week with full time benefits I will now have to work 40hrs/week to have the same full time benefits that is why I don't believe it's a equivalent position.

I went out on FMLA and I am scheduled to go back in July when I informed my employer that I would be returning she informed me that my job was no longer available and that I would now have to work 8 hours 5 days a week instead of 12 hours three days a week and that i would be transferred to an adult unit from the child unit. Having just had a baby the 5 days a week just don't work for child care especially since it could be any shift. This doesn't seem fair or right to me has this happened to anybody else? Is my employer allowed to do this? The FMLA law states that " the employee is to be restored to the position held by the employee when the leave commenced or to be restored to an equivalent postion with equivalent employment benefits, pay, and other terms and conditions of employment." I don't believe they are putting me an equivalent position and when I asked what position I would be in they said they will have to see where I would fit which to me means they have no idea.
