Very very stupid question :)

So my registration is on 7th. I will have Nursing, Human Body (these are the must) then English, Humanities, Phys Ed and some Complementary. I am terribly confused about my Nursing class. Here it goes... we get 60 hrs of Theory plus 56 hrs of Lab. Obviously those hours combined are included in the schedule info. The confusion is about clinical. There is a following info on my school's web site :

"Clinical: 64 hours

Required preparation for clinical will be given to you before each clinical experience.

Note: Please read the Dawson Nursing Department Policy on Absenteeism in the Nursing Department Policy Handbook, as this will affect you throughout the three years in the program.

Clinical experience is done in eight-hour blocks. Clinical days are scheduled for the semester on either Tuesdays or Wednesdays. Clinical experience begins at 07:30h. There is a possibility that some evenings will be required."

Obviously those 64 hours are not included in the schedule. (Or are they?) How do I do it? I have to register for the rest of my classes. Do I take classes that are later in the afternoon? How do you work around clinical hours? Do you choose them :confused:or do you get them already scheduled? HEEEEEELLLPP!!!!

Since then I've went through medical and surgical floors, worked (for money :rotfl: :rotfl: ) on Transplant floor, survived Geriatrics, Obstetrics, MULTIPLE projects, made few friends .... and enemies, lOOOOOved ER, went to see my old post and saw myself growing.... OAOU!!! Felt excited and wrote this message.

Woot!
