Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share what your typical schedule looks like? I know it varies, but just a general estimation would be so helpful.

How many days a week are you on campus for class/lecture/labs? How many days a week do you have clinicals? How many hours a day are the clinicals usually? And finally, how often does the clinical schedule change? Does it change weekly or are you at the facility for awhile?

I know my experience could be different by the time I start the nursing program (doing pre-reqs now), but I'm a planner and just wanted some kind of estimate so I know what to expect.

Thank you so much for any info you can provide!
