Am I reading this schedule right?

Can someone more familiar with the way the schedule looks tell me if I'm reading this the right way? I happened to be looking at the class schedule for EMCC and it looks like they have the Spring nursing block 1 schedule up.

So it looks like class will be held 5 days a week? Is that typical? I thought it was 3-4 days max?

So if you click on the link, the 9 credit course says Tuesdays 9am-11am and Weds 8am-11am.

Then the lab portion says it is Mon, Thurs, and Fridays from 8am-5pm.

That seems like a lot of class time compared to what I've seen others post for their block 1 schedules at other schools? Am I reading this the right way?

Looks like just M, Tues, Thurs, Friday to me..

But labs change through the semester. They may be practicals, skills labs hours, or even turn into clinical days, so you need to wait till your class syllabus comes out with your specific calendar.. Hopes its less than 5 days.. :)

Tuesday may be your lecture day and there will be clinical/lab days on one or more of the other days. Because the cohort get split up to go to different clinical at least that is my understanding and I could be wrong.

This is what I thought on first glance too but when I click on the Tuesday one then it says Tuesday's and weds!

This is what I am hoping is the case, that I won't be going on ALL of those days but those are the days clinicals may be available!

That's what I'm thinking and that you will have lecture Tuesday and Wednesday then lab or clinical on one other day

Do t go by that to a T. If your lab day is 8-5 Friday's, then has a random Thursday class or Monday class, then the schedule will list all 3 days. Also, your class may be split based on size and there will be 3 separate lab groups attending on a different day based on when you have clinical. It's best to talk to someone in the program and they can better explain the actual schedule.

My my schools shows class almost everyday of the week but I actually only have class one day and clinical one day a week. (Block 4) previous semesters had class twice a week.

Thanks, this definitely makes me feel better :)
