How long is your commute to nursing school?

Published

I just want some insight on everyone else's experience.

I live in the suburbs of Cleveland, and it takes me about 30-45 minutes to get to my lectures/clinical sights depending on traffic.

Specializes in Forensic Psych.

It takes me about 10 minutes to get to school and the hospital where I have clinicals is right across the street from there, so no big drive time. Good thing in the morning, but sometimes I wish I had a bit more time to decompress on the way home to my crazy family!

Clinical sites...depends. The farthest I've gone so far is about 20 miles out of the way and approx 30-35 min.

If I had a car, it would take me about 15 minutes. But since I dont and have to take the bus...it takes about 50 minutes.

15 - 20 minutes for school. The clinical site that they have used in the past could be anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour depending on traffic.

Less than 10 minutes :D. When I had no car, it took me about 25 minutes when I took the bus.

anywhere from 10-45 mins, depending on where my clinicals are. It takes me about 20/25 mins to get to the campus.

Campus is about 45-60 minutes away, depending on traffic. Clinicals will be either 45-60 minute drive (in the same city as campus) or 35 minutes away. I used to commute 2 hours each way to work, so this will seem short!

45 min by bike. Clinicals I'll probably have to arrange a car pool and that'll not be conivient. I love commuting by bike for the automatic exercise, though heavy books are a pain.

My commute is 40-45 mins to classes. No clue where to for clincals, but they start at 7 am for me so i will be leaving by 530 at the latest, depending on where my clincals are

My commute is about 45 minutes. Most of the clinicals are at the affiliated hospital, so usually the same time for clinicals.
