Hello Ana! I'm currently about to graduate this Spring and it hasn't been bad overall. 

For Summer, it's more difficult since the courses are 10 weeks. For mental health course the exams was easy, but med surg was more difficult. Tests was every 2 weeks as well. It felt harder to juggle work and school during the Summer months but it's doable and I have no doubt that you will pass. Time management will be key during this semester. 

For Fall, it was so MUCH EASIER. Class every  Wednesday and Friday. Clinical was mostly once a week (you might have it twice but only happens about 1 week in the semester). The Med surg course was easy, but pedi/ob will prob take more study time. Still doable and you can also work so much more. 

For Spring (currently) class is similar to fall, as well as clinical. I can't speak much about the tests since I haven't taken any yet LOL. 

Overall, the program isn't hard at all, and definitely doable. Good luck on your journey, you definitely can do it!

I was accepted into the program. Are Summer clinicals 2 or 3x a week?
