[mamaof6]

does anyone out their attend the glendale weekend program? i am trying to get more information about the hours that classes and clinical rotations are scheduled for. i know they are on friday and saturday but what hours. also what is your experience with this program? i took my prerequisites through rio and loved it but their program is 2 days of clinical rotations and it seems that glendale is also 2 day but only 2 days total so i thought that would work better for me. any info on this program would be great. thanks

I was just place into GCC's weekend part time program and start in jan 09. My best friend went there a few years ago but only did block 1 and then decided to pursue a different career (nursing isnt for everyone luckily she found it out soon). She is very smart and very disciplined but said it was hard. She also was a stay at home mom and said it was hard to juggle kids and time to get studying done. I also am a stay at home mom and chose this program because my husband's work hours prevent me from doing the full time option. This way I only have to worry about someone taking kids to school on Friday and someone watching them on Saturdays. I hope it works out.

I've also heard good things about Gateway's part time option. It's Wednesday and Thursday night for class and then you do clinicals on either Friday or Saturday.

I have talked to a bunch of people that have either gone through school or currently attending all the different scheduling options. It comes down to what your physical schedule will allow. Part time program does not suggest its part time at all. All the different programs are going to be time consuming and hard. It's just a matter of finding which schedule fits your schedule and be prepared to work hard.
