Am I complaining?

Question

So, I am trying to get into nursing school and right now I’m taking my core classes. I’m trying to study for the entrance exam to get into nursing nursing school. I’m taking 4 classes this semester and next semester I’m taking 3. While working a full time 12 hour night shift job... Before I got into school I mom suggested I take one or two classes each semester. But I didn’t want to do that because it’s going to put me behind and I’m ready to graduate and move out of the house. Yes, I still live with my parents and I have no children and I’m not married. Right now it’s starting to become a load on me. With working and in school both full time. I want to stay where I’m currently working at but.. there are no part time positions open. So basically I am stuck where I am at now. I tried to talk to my parents the situation and how I am feeling and my mom said “How, your manager is working around your schedule.” And my dad doesn’t say anything or he just laughs or say you can do it.. It’s really making me mad and it’s really irritating me that no one is listening to me..
Or maybe I shouldn’t be complaining because I don’t have any children and I am not married but still at the same time I would like to focus on school 100% of my time so I can pass and graduate

Answer

It’s not that you can’t complain, but I think you took on wayyy too much at one time lol. Don’t burn yourself out. Personally, I would try to see if you could rearrange it so you could only do maybe 2-3 classes at once. It shouldn’t put you too far behind if you arrange it that way

Answer

You're complaining.   You took too much into your plate, against your parents' advice.   So I can understand why they'd get tired of hearing about it.   
Stay strong to finish the semester - it can be done.  And next semester slow down your course load.

Answer

Are your classes online or do you have to go to campus for them? I’m a night shift nurse so 1) good luck in your journey to become a nurse! 2) you are on the fast track to burning yourself out, sounds like it’s already starting!  I’m guessing you are working as a tech or similar position at a hospital given that schedule so are there any other units in the hospital or other nearby hospitals hiring part time if your manager is unwilling to let you go part time? 
I wouldn’t say you are complaining necessarily, just venting because that’s enough to stress anyone out. It can work for a little while, especially when you are young, but as soon as anything happens (I.e. you get sick, classes get harder, you get into a serious relationship, etc) it may be too much. Do whatever you can to at least get to part time if school is full time, especially if you are going to stay on nights!

Answer

Thats a full time class schedule and a full time job. That's why i couldnt do it. Well and then i got pregnant. Perhaps find a differnt part time job. Or just push through and do both. It can be done but it isnt going to be easy. My director told me it can be done but they dont advise it, since your schooling is demanding and rough. So you kind of have to decide.
