I was just curious to find out how long your nursing programs are. I'm starting my real nursing courses this fall (yay!) :) for my BSN. It lasts for 5 semesters (but only includes the fall & spring semesters), which means I will graduate in Dec. 2006. How about you?

Our RN program is 4 semesters - so 2 years...

It seems like a long time when you are just starting!!!

OUrs is four semester, but it's a straight 4, so it only takes 16 months to complete. I hear that we'll have 12 hour clinicals during summer semester. :(

Yeah...our program does include summer semesters in those 2 years...I forgot about that....

My program is also 5 semesters. Fall, Spring, Summer, Fall, Spring.....RN! However we may take the state boards after the third semester (the Summer one) to become a LPN. It's a nice option because you can begin working while completing the RN portion. Good Luck in school!

My ADN program starts sept 20th and is six quarters long or two years. We have summers off. I will graduate in June 2006.

my adn program is 4 semesters long. but remember all the pre-req you need to take. it usually takes 3 to 3½ years to finally finish. that's without repeating any courses.

My program is for 4 semesters......2 Fall and 2 Spring.

pnay:

mine is the same as yours, 5 semesters. we dont have summer classes, but we can do summer externships which we get paid for AND earn credits for, which is amazing to me. so i graduate the same time as you, december of 2006. it seems like a long time, but we only have to do 9-13 credits per semester, so hopefully it will be a little less stressful than a program thats 4 semesters with 16-18 credits per semester. either way, we will get there soon enough, right? :)
