What school are you going to? At the Capital orientation, if I recall correctly, she said the clinical assignments wouldn't be made until we'd already been in lab for a few weeks...so not til mid/late September.

At this point, i only know my lecture times. How do you know when you have lab? How long is lab? When will u start clinical rotation in your first semester? Thank you for your help.

At our Capital orientation our instructor had worked out the schedule for the whole semester (tests included) and gave us all a copy. If you're at a different school your times and days may be very different. We have class Mondays and Fridays 9a-10:50a and lab Tuesdays and Wednesdays 8a-3:30p. It looks like my class has lab until mid-October . . . after that, clinicals will be assigned to us for two days a week and they could be any two days in a row, day or evening shifts. Like I said, we won't know what our clinical schedule will be until probably the end of September. What school are you going to?

Thank you that helped me alot! Im going to norwalk community college. Our day orienation is next week or night orientatiin in august. Im wondering maybe i would get a better lab time if i went to the day orienration. First come first served. Did u get to pick ur lab time? Or have any say if it didnt work for you?

Yeah, you'll find out all this info that's specific to your school program when you go to orientation. I don't know if your program is different than ours, but for us labs are like classes as we have no choice in the matter. We all attend class and labs at the same time (like lab classes for chem/micro/a&p). To be blunt, we were told if scheduled times don't work out for us, we have to find a way to make it work. I'm fortunate I'm a stay-at-home mom right now, but I have friends who are entering the program, too, that are struggling to rearrange work schedules or drop hours so they can go to school.

Hi, I will be going to Norwalk Community Colkege and will be attending orientation on Friday. I had reached out to the advisor to ask about the clinical schedule as I too am trying to rearrange my work schedule and she said that they will be distributing schedules at orientation. What she could tell me is that for the first four weeks that we would be in lab on Wed and Thurs. Half of the class will have lab in the morning and half in the evening. After that, we will go off to our individual clinical sites. Hope that helps!

I want lab in the evening so bad!
