SRNAs clinical/classroom schedules

I would like to ask a question of the board SRNAs. I am trying to get some information for an educator friend.

In their integrated nurse anesthesia program, they have a recurring problem with student schedules. They have been unable to devise a good, easily workable system.

So, to the SRNAs: How do you get your daily assignment schedule? How do you know which days are class, which are clinical? How do you know which clinical site to report to on a clinical day? How far in advance do you know your schedule? How is this schedule given to you-handed to you on paper, posted on a web site, etc. Does this system work for you? Anything you wish was different?

I realize that SRNAs only see the finished product. I would imagine most don't have any knowledge about how the schedule is actually devised. But I am hoping your experience might give them some insight into some different models to explore.

Thanks for any help you can offer.
