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?

    My first semester of an ADN-RN program.

    September: 23 hrs/week

    Lecture M-F 8am-12

    Lab 1 -2:30 T&TH or M&F (section isn't assigned until school starts)

    October & November : 24hrs/week

    Lecture M 8-12 T-W 8-11

    Lab 1-3 T or W

    Clinical 6am-12 TH &F

    This is 24 hours a week in class/lab/clinicals and it counts as 12 credits. I guess in nursing school an hour only counts as half a credit now!

    Does this seem like a lot of time in class to anyone else? It seems like most people only have about 20 hours a week...
