Did you work while in nursing school (casual or part time etc)

hi everyone, I start nursing school this July and I’m just a bit worried about how my work will be affected. I’m going to obviously update my availability to let them know the days I’m at uni and when I’m not but I work as a hotel receptionist and there’s only 8 people hired including me but one of my coworkers is never there. I usually get called in when it’s really busy which it has been for a long time now like for example just today I finished work at 11pm and got asked to start at 8am 😭 but I want to put my full focus on nursing school and not get burnt out by work so I was thinking maybe saying I’m not available any time of the week. I do get Centrelink payment fortnightly So I’ll still get income anyways. I also heard you can’t work when you’re put on placement. Also this job has been really stressing me out because I get mistreated by the guests but still push through. I’d like to know other people’s experiences and what they did with their work situation. just to add the 4 people who are full time usually only work in the morning but 2 people work in the morning and usually 1 person at night.
