Fall 2011, what's your schedule?

Hi, I'm starting my ADN nursing program in a few weeks. My 1st semester (of five semester program) will be:

Fundamentals of nursing (6 credit hours)

Fundamentals of nursing clinical ( 1 day/week)

fundamentals of nursing lab (1 day/week; 2 days a week the first few weeks until we start clinicals)

Health Assessment (counts as 1 credit hour but is scheduled for 3)

Pharmacology ( also counts as 1 credit but is scheduled 3)

I'm excited to see how it will all work. I wrote down what I think my schedule will look like and I was able to find about 23 hours a week to study. I hope that will be enough! My schedule is officially only 9 hrs total but we were advised against working, especially full time, and have most or all of our "co-reqs" done. ( I have all of them out of the way). I don't work but I am a mom of 2 which keeps me pretty busy. I've also been "couponing" for a while now, and I would like to have 3-5 hours to spend on that but I didn't see where I could squeeze it in...we'll see.

How about everyone else? What will your first semester look like?

I have orientation on Monday and hope to get my schedule then. The program I am in only has one class per term and it is 12 units. So I am assuming I will have 12 hours of lecture/lab and one day of clinical. I will share on here when I find out what my schedule will be:)

Thanks everyone for responding, and keep them coming! It's so interesting to see how the different schools format their programs. My school doesn't have classes on Fridays which I really love because that gives me a day when things are open ( & the kids are in school) to run errands and study, or use the library. I'm not as excited about having to go 5 semesters, and being unable to take the summer off but if it makes the pace manageable I'll take it. Most of my classes start early and my clinicals start at 6:30 so I'm going to have to adjust to getting up REALLY early.

I have clinicals 7-3:45 Tuesdays

Fundamentals on Thursday and Friday from 1-3:30

Mental Health 1 - Thursdays 10-12 (class ends mid October)

We also have extra simulator time that will be scheduled during the first week. It's 2 hours a week for 6 weeks. In hospital clinicals start October 17th.
