A quick question regarding ADN programs

Published

Hi all! I was wondering if students in an ADN program full time have a summer break? I have orientation coming up so I guess I should wait....however my husband wants to know for planning purposes....

My ADN program went through the summer, but it was an LVN to RN transition program so the summer semester was a transition course.

I believe it all depends on your individual school program because most all have different ways of doing things. In my school we are allowed to take nursing classes over the summer if they do not have a clinical/lab component. For instance first year students are able to take Nursing Fundamentals and Pharmacology during the summer.

You're totally right about most programs have different ways of doing things. My fundamentals class had lecture, lab and clinical and cannot be taken in the summer :)

Hi, I am in a fast track ADN program in Alabama. We have no breaks at all!

Maybe the information is on the schools website.

I'm in a full time ADN program in Washington, and we have summer break off. Hopefully you've found your answer by now! :)

It depends on the program. Ours has summers off. I'm using the time to take courses towards the BSN over the summer :)
