I was just accepted into a wonderful program which will give me the BSN by June, 2005, but the commute to the university is FAR! The clinicals will be at hospitals near me, but I'm wondering how I'll survive the trip. How long is your commute?

My ADN program was 45 minutes each way. BSN program was about 10 mins from house, parking was horribe, so I had to leave home an hour before my class started.

Now I'm in a NP program, 2hrs 45 mins. each way! Only once a week, and I will do clinicals in my home town.

My school is 50 min. one way. My mother is having a cow because it is so far away. She is concerned about what would happen if one of the kids (I have 4 school agers) got sick at school, etc. I told her that I was going to get a list of backups together for that purpose. I just can't convince her that other moms go to school and their kids and husband do just fine.

When I start full-time classes this fall, my commute will be 15 minutes each way. Right now I'm taking a summer class at a community college to save money, which is 30 minutes away. Can't wait for fall.

About 30-40 minutes to school depending on the traffic. When we start clinicals in October, the hospital associated with the nursing school is right across the parking lot. In our third year we will be doing more clinicals at different hospitals but RI is so small, everything is close!

From driveway to Interstate exit = 45 min one way. Clinicals are about the same (same town). Couldn't find a nice place (3 BR, 2 BA) in that town that would allow our PETS!!! I LOVE MY PETS (3). The new place will be worth it - gorgeous views, 25 acres, near a small town and YES - I'll be doing the drive and listen to Spanish tapes TOO!!!!:)

We move in two weeks! YIKES!:eek:

When I was accepted into my LPN program I quit my job and moved to where my school was! My apartment is less than one mile from campus and it takes me maybe 2 or 3 minutes from leaving the door of my apartment to walking through the door of my classroom

My commute is 45min there and 45min back home. Luckily my clinicals are at a hospital only 20min away.

I plan to record all my lectures and notes and listen to them while I commute. I am also hoping to find someone to car-pool with to help with gas expenses.

Wish me luck!;)
