Curious about your class schedule

I was recently accepted to an LPN program after applying through my community college. We have always been told it was a full time program (Mon through Fri) and don't except to work more than 16 hours a week. During orientation, the head of the nursing dept. said she decided to make the program Mon, Tues, and Thursday so people could manage a work schedule. (Tuesdays being clinical.) This would mean that we would have 2 weekdays off and the weekend. I was pretty excited because I thought I was going to have to quit my job which is only open during regular week days. This is a year program. Has anyone else only gone to school 3 days a week for a full time program like this? If not, what was your schedule like?

Just curious....

Not gonna lie, Im getting pretty excited...and nervous : )

    Your program sounds great if they are willing to change the schedule around so you can still work.

    My schedule for this semester is :Monday is clinicals from 7-3, Tuesday is lecture from 8:30 to 4, and Friday is skills from 12-4.

    My CC tells people you will not be able to work and do this program but when you look up the schedules on the web it shows that they have school on M & T 8-4 and clinicals on one other day of the week. I didn't know that 5 years ago or I would have applied then since my school really discourages working.

    Kudos to you! Two jobs and nursing school. Very brave of you : ) Its nice to hear that people are still managing a life. With a school schedule of 3 days a week, it definitely seems doable. I know there is a ton of studying involved, but the fact that the Head of our Dept respects that we have to work is reassuring. Good luck to all of you!
