blessed,

i was not aware that the weekend program runs thru the summer months ... even though i applied to it. what classes do we have to take in the summer months? i went to the BHCC nursing web site, and i did not see anything about summer courses. thanks.

No problem. I'm not sure what classes, but yes they go thru the summer, that's how they make up for the reduced hours.

I'm actually in the day program. So I hear that all sessions are having orientation together on 5/21. I'm excited, but defintley nervous. I tell you between being nervous with the TEAS, nervous with the results, nervous about the program, neverous when it's time to take the NCLEX, nervous about job interviews, nervous as a newbie on the job... I figure at this rate it will be another 4 years before I settle down.

The weekend program at BHCC does NOT go during the summer months (I know, I graduated from it). And it has the same amount of classroom and clinical hours as the day and evening options. I didn't find the 3rd semester Pedi/Maternity to be that difficult. I think that the 1st is the hardest because you are getting used to nursing school questions and exams. I think your final medsurg semester is difficult. And my class didn't lose 1/2 as I read somewhere else in this thread. Although we did have a number of people who didn't pass the NCLEX, but they probably shouldn't have graduated either.

Best of luck.

Hi dfs1961,

How long ago did you graduate? I was advised during the information session and our drug calculation teacher that they do, but I don't mind being wrong ...617MOM I would be more than happy to be wrong on this one so you can have the summers off .

In regards to what year will be the most challenging I guess the instructors during orientation can advise you, we on the the post can tell you another thing and current and past students can tell us something else, but I guess its all relevant. What one may find difficult to another may not.
