   For the upcoming quarter, my schedule will look something like this:
   
   Monday:

   10:00-12:00pm Mental Health Nursing Lecture

   10:00-12:00pm Mental Health Nursing Lecture
   1:00-3:00pm Comprehensive Adult I (Med-Surg) Lecture
   3:00-4:30pm Pharmacology I Lecture
   
   Wednesday/Thursday/Friday/Saturday:
   3 of these 4 days will be my clinical days for Women's Health, Mental Health, and Adult I. I won't find out my 3 days or times until a couple weeks from now.
   
   Honestly, last quarter was not quite as bad as it looks. Next quarter will probably be just as bad as it looks, if not worse, to make up for last quarter.
   
   Good luck in nursing school!

   Quote from dolcebellaluna

   My schedule last semester (1st semester of 4 in my BSN program) was as follows:
   
   Monday
   8:00-10:30 Fundamentals
   10:30-12:00 Skills Open Lab
   12:00-5:00 Health Assessment
   
   Tuesday
   9:00-10:50 Professional Nursing I: Introduction
   
   Wednesday
   1:00-5:00 Skills
   
   Thursday
   7:30-11:30 Fundamentals Clinical (on a transitional care unit)
   2:00-4:50 Pathophysiology
   
   Friday
   8:30-10:00 Pharmacology

   
   This looks almost the same as my schedule this semester. Can you give me any tips/pointers on the classes? My bf (graduated from pharmacy school) went out and bought me a pharmacology book and said that it'll help with this tough class. I am excited about clinicals which I believe are twice a week. Where did you have your first clinical? I was told that clinicals start the 5th week of the semester and it depends on who your clinical advisor is. I am hoping it's close to Towson since I live around the area, instead of in Catonsville, since I will be going with traffic if it's at St. Agnes. I've also been buying books online at campusi.com. The prices are a little less than the used price at the bookstore. I spoke with someone there the other day and they say if you purchase them at the bookstore online, they don't necessarily give you the used books since they are still buying them from vendors.

   1st semester of a 22 month ADN program. Classes run for 8 weeks.
   
   1st 8 weeks
   Fundamentals of nursing M-Th 8:30-2:30. We have lecture M,W. T,Th we do in-school labs at the moment, but clinicals are usually T,Th. Right now we're working on skills that have to be checked off before we get to clinical.
   
   Clinicals start Feb 19, and I have 3 in this 1st 8 week session. We get put into a group, but can change amongst ourselves if someone has a problem. The one I want is from 6:30am-12:30pm.
   
   2nd 8 weeks.
   Pharmacology/Assessment. I think my lecture's only 1 day a week, and it's NOT 6 hours (can you tell these days are just killing me lol)? Clinical's still T,Th. All I know is who the lecture teacher is. Don't know who the clinical instructors for the class are, that will come when we start in March.
   
   So far our school doesn't have classes on Friday. The nursing program director warned us that in the future, we may have Friday classes. I'm looking forward to tomorrow so I can finish up the reading, and study for our first test on Monday!

    I will be attending a part-time program that is only offered every few years. We have Theory from 6-9 on Monday evenings. Then Clinical every other Friday-Sat-Sunday from 7:30 to 3:30. The first two months we have Lab every single Friday instead of every other in order to get up-to-speed on basic skills. Our program runs through summer with each semester being 7 months and then 1 week off between semesters. We end up getting an ADN in 2.5 years instead of 2 yrs because of the part-time/extended semesters.
