hello everyone,
i was just curious to know if while in the actual nursing program ( not taking prerequisites ), if there were acceptable excused absences? i have been in school taking my prerequisite classes since january 2008. i have not missed one day of class, this is simply because i believe if you miss class then you may miss some vital information. anyway, the problem that i face is my family has planned a very important cruise and i would need to miss two days of school. our cruise was carefully planned in 2009. because i am in school we initially planned the trip during our quarter break. well for my school, we are switching over to the semester system and that is going to really impact my decision to go on this trip with my family. oh not to mention that i am still waiting to see if i get accepted into the program. unfortunately we will not find out this vital information until the end of july, maybe. just wanted to know if all classtime and clinicals were mandatory?
thanks for any input on the situatioin.
