Hi, I am trying to get an idea of how much time will actually be spent at school. I know the class schedule at my future school but not the lab time. Please share your weekly school schedule. Thanks in advance.

Monday through Thursday I have Pathophyiology, Pharmacology, Fundamentals, and Health Assessment. All are mostly 3 hour classes at one sitting...:( We might get a 5 or 10 minute break here and there IF we're lucky.

Specializes in Pediatrics.

Mondays--Lecture 9-4 with a 1 hour break (Patho I & Aging)

Tuesdays--Lecture 9-3 with a 2 hour break (Health Promo & Fundamentals)

Wednesdays--Lecture 9-11 (Assessment)

Thursdays--Lab 10-12, Seminar 1-3 (Assessment, Fundamentals)

Friday--Clinical 8-12 (Fundamentals)

Lectures were 2-3 hours long, once a week, and a break about halfway through that varied in length depending on the teacher. I'm really not a fan of the once a week thing but its how the school set things up so I deal with it. I have 4 hour lectures this semester.

Friday - Pre-Clinical 7-4 actual clinicals will be from 5:30 -2:30

They say on top of this you'll need to study independently for 25-30 hours per week to be successful.

You all have no idea how much I appreciate this information. I think I'm leaning towards attending the program part time. I wish you all well in your programs!
