Part Time Jobs

So I am currently studying OU's Full Time Health Science degree and I was wondering is any part time job acceptable alongside it. I got an offer to work in a healthcare setting but the hours are so long, like 8:30 till 6:30pm for majority of the week 3/5 days. I want to take it but the only thing that's stopping me is the hours. Also I was thinking if not I could take a childcare role as if you do Schooling for Pre Schoolers it would be school hours and you could select days to study alongside. I wasn't to be a healthcare worker when I leave so wondering what job might be better as I realise, I have to study alot!!!!! Any help would be appreciated!!!!
