HFCC Nursing 1st Year Description

Hopefully I will be in HFCC program by next year, but can anyone who has taken the program or is in the program, describe how the first year of nursing @ HFCC. I'm trying to get an idea of how many days I'll be at school/clinicals. Also is it possible to have a part-time job while in the program at all? (I'm young so I don't have any kids to worry about, or house/apartment.) Just to have money on the side.

It will be really helpful.

Echo the above; you'll be in lecture 9a-12p x 2 days/week.

The first 8 weeks of your first semester will find you in the nursing lab, learning skills. The second 8 weeks is your first MedSurg rotation. Working the weekends will be tough, unless you're great at studying every single night. (However, having no kids might make that easier.)

Good luck to you at HFCC.

I'm in last week of semester 1. I have class Mon 12-2. Tues and Wed clinicals/lab (same as above...clinicals didn't start till 8 weeks in.) Thurs 9-2. I work Fri and Sat nights...pain in the behind but I have too. Some people work full time when in the program...why and how I do not know?! I wish I didn't have too but thats life. Semester 2 we just received our schedule. Monday 8:30-1. Tues and Wed clinicals mostly (lab a few times.) Thurs 9-12/1. Not sure about 2nd year.

Curious... Are there a ton of papers to write? Research Papers that is. Also, what are the supplemental classes? Wait last thing... never mind.
