Question about holidays/breaks during nursing school...

[Calbrunette]

Hi all,

Going to be starting MCC Nursing program in January, hopefully one of the accelerated programs.

I was wondering about the normal holiday and semester breaks that we get throughout the year...i.e. Spring Break and the between-semester breaks. Does anyone know if professors usually assign work during the breaks or are you able to really enjoy the time off? The reason I ask is that I'm trying to plan in advance for family visits, working extra shifts, having some dental work done, etc.

Thank you!!

I'd speak to your professor and ask them. I bet this will vary between programs, blocks & campuses. I'm in block 1 right now @ Glendale CC and we haven't had any holidays yet (I started in July). We have work all the time, however. I haven't had a weekend off yet.
