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 am a LPN to RN student starting in Sept. I will be joining the traditional RN students in the 4th quarter of the program.

Sept. 12-16 is 9am-5pm for the LPN articulation seminar

Regular classes start on Sept. 21

Monday: either clinicals or class 8-2 (adv. nursing practice I and adv. family centered nursing.)

Tuesday: Clinicals

Wednesday: class 8-12 (adv. nursing and adv. family centered nsg.)

yay, just found out i passed med surg so i can actually post this-

Mother Baby-- schedule kinda varies but it looks like mostly class 8-12 t,th,f with either a skills lab or clinical mondays and wednesdays (it is different every week.. one clinical a week from 6a-5p, and usually an 8 hour skills lab)

this is totally different from my structured 630-1500 m,w clinical every week with class 8-12 the rest of the days. im going to actually have to check my calendar this semester.. we even change lecture rooms periodically. :uhoh3:

Nursing 101 for ADN program beginning the end of the month :yeah:

Tues & Wed: Lecture from 11am-1pm

Thurs & Fri : Skills Lab 8:30am-2:30pm until Oct/Nov

then it's Clinical offsite from 7:30am -1:30pm

And I work part-time evenings M-F & married with children

Hoping my time management skills are up to par!

2 nights a week...either Monday and Tuesday or Mon/Wednesday from like 4-8pm. then clinic Sat/Sun from 3-11pm.

Well, well, well... nursing school starts back up at the end of August and I don't know if I should cry :crying2:

or laugh:lol2:. Don't get me wrong, I'm very thankful I was able to make it through my last two semesters,however, I feel drained and worn out..:confused: My classes are changing due to my Junior status, which, makes me scared a little. If there's anyone out there that goes to Capital Community College and can give me some incite on the hours as far as clinicals go I would greatly appreicate it. From what I've been told my schedule is suppose to be every Monday & Friday 9:00am to 11:00am with clinicals Tuesday and Wednesday.

Wonder why such a huge difference in hours? Our adn has 12 units a semester assuming u have finished all ge requirements. On Monday I am in back to back class from 7:30 am to 4 pm with 1 hr for lunch. Tuesday half day, wednesday half day, Thursday long day of lecture, Friday half day. It just seems like a lot. I am going to count the hours in the morning.

Fall of 2011 I will be in my second to last semester. My schedule looks like this:

Community Health class (Monday 0800-0950)

Mental Health class (Monday 1000-1150)

Pediatric clinical (Tuesday 0645-1515)

Mental Health clinical (Wednesday 0800-1430)

Community clinical (Thursday 0645-1515)

Pediatrics class (Friday 1200-1350)

I've been waiting for this semester because it seemed like it would never come when I first started nursing school back in the August 2009. What I need to do right now is study for finals, which are next week, so I can pass the classes I took this summer and actually make it to next semester! These finals include ICU, OB, and Research. Ayaiyai!

I begin nursing school (ASN) program in August as well. I do work full time as a CNA II but since the hospital is footing half the bill for nursing school and I don't want to be saddled with large loans after NCLEX, I will continue to work. I am blessed with a wonderful support system (husband of 20 years and a almost 13 year old daughter). I was fortunate to have accomodations made for me at work and a schedule that permits studying.

HALF WAY DONE 3rd YEAR!!! I cant wait for next august to grad... oh my... i cant wait

I am a first semester ADN student. We haven't had our full orientation yet but this is what I know from the schedule...

NUR 111 is an 8 hr class that meets:

Monday - Class from 8:00 until 12:00

Tuesdays - Clinicals 6:30 until 5:30

Wednesdays - Clinicals 6:30 until 5:30

Thursdays - Class from 8:00 until 12:00

Fridays - Class from 8:00 until 10:00

...I am almost finished with my pre/co reqs, except for a one credit hour study skills class every Monday. Hopefully the class will not be a complete bore and can actually teach me something! I haven't spent very much time studying in the past; I have been able to make good grades just by paying attention in my classes. Not anymore though, now I have 3 hours blocked off every day to study.

...4 days to go.
