Nursing school hours

Can someone give me an idea of the daily time span of nursing school around Nashville? Can you go just the hours the kids are in school without having to pay for before and after care? When I'm getting paid to be involved in nursing, it won't be a problem, but right now it's the opposite. I wish people who don't have kids realized that child care is like a second mortgage. Anything you can tell me would be enormously helpful. I'm agonizing over this.

I can only speak for Chatt State, but it might help.

1st semester: Mon lecture 9a-3p, Wed lecture 8a-4p, Thurs or Fri clinical 7a-2p

2nd semester: Mon lecture 7:30-12p, Clinical Tues or Wed 7a-2p, Thurs lecture 7:30-12p

3rd semester: same as 2nd

4th (and final!) semester: Mon lecture 10a-3p, Tues or Wed clinical 7a-2p, Thurs lecture 8-12:30p

Most of our classes are held during typical school day hours. The only problem people with kids in my class seem to have are the early mornings for clinical or when kids have snow days/holidays/sick days. We also have a night program as a second option. You should be able to check your school's website re: the nursing program and get some idea of their hours. I'm sure they are used to those kinds of questions... just call and ask! Good luck to you both!

Only 82 days til pinning!!!! :nurse:
