Clinicals and nursing classes..

Published

I am just veginning my pre req and I won't be going for my nursing classes and clinicals for 2 more years (I have to wait till my dd goes to school) anyway, what is the length of time for clinicals and classes? I will have all my pre req out of the way by that time also and I was told we would go 4 days per week.

Any ideas?

My nursing 1 was 3 days lecture and 2 days clinical. This semester it's 2 days lecture 2 days clinical and 20 plus hours a week studying.

Nursing 101 was 8 hour day clinical, 4 hour lab, and two 3 hour lectures for a total of 4 days a week, and yes 20+ hours of studying each week.

This semester, I have an 8 hour lecture, an 8 hour lab, and an 8 hour clinical and more study time than are hours in a day.

I think it depends on the program, our first year is more lab based with only one clinical, and then our second year is 2 clinical days with a short 2 hour lab and a wonderful day of 8 hour lecture. Check into the nursing program you want to attend and see if you can't get their nursing schedule online. This should give you an idea.

Specializes in ER.

We did:

First semester: 4 hours clinical, 5 hours lecture, 2 hours lab per week. .

Second semester: 10 hours clinical, 4 hours lecture, 2 hours lab per week.

Both semesters I had nursing classes sheduled three days per week. Next year we get to boost on up to 12 hours of clinical a week...yee ha!
