Ummmm, I think that might literally kill you to shadow for that long. Seriously though, just try to get enough shadowing so that you know what you're getting yourself into, that's what the schools are interested in knowing. I don't know how long its gonna take you to complete your bachelors, but if you are working full time AND going to school AND you have a family (?), they don't expect you to quit your job just to get health care experience. Obviously any type of health care job is nice to have on your app, but its not make or break. Good grades + good MCAT/GRE + Good personality + some shadowing = acceptance most likely. If you wanna hear it from the horses mouth though, i'd just call some PDs and tell them your situation and ask their advice. Good luck.
