Yorkies are an extremely smart, active, courageous and agile breed. They are also a breed that does not do well with being left alone for long periods of time without either human or other animal contact. Due to your Nursing school commitments, a Yorkie puppy, might have not been your best choice. A Yorikie of 1+ years would have been easier to adjust to your lifestyle.
Your Yorkie pups actions are totally normal. What you must do is train him to obey commands such as: no, no bite, sit, be nice, etc.
I hate to say this...but, if your Yorkie pup is too much for you to handle--which it sounds like he is--------you may want to seriously think about rehoming him and then adopting an adult yorkie. Or if you are dead set on a puppy--- wait until you have the time for a puppy.
All puppies, are like toddlers on steroids, and Yorkie pups are even worse! They are so intelligent, that they are always exploring, learning and getting into trouble. They are also a breed that loves their owners--that is the reason for your pups bites. Dogs are animals and signs of their affection is often playful bites. It the pet owner responibility to teach the dog acceptable behavior.
Good luck in whatever your decisions are. Personally I think, you have bit off more than you can chew, with the addition of this puppy in your life. It will be best for him to be rehomed. You will then not have the responsibilty of a puppy---that although you love very much----does not fit into your life right now. You do not have time for him right now--he needs that.

I am definately NOT rehoming my baby! I am sure there are people out there who had responsibilites that kept them away from their puppy as well. It may be a challenge but we will get it right! Not everyone can be with the dog all day everyday. that is impossible! I could never ever ever just get rid of him! We will be fine!
