How long is your commute to nursing school?

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.

25 miles each way. I go about 4 times a week. Traffic can add on a ton of time to my commute, though.

My school commute is about 25-30 minutes and my clinicals will be about 15-20 minutes away. I actually enjoy the drive to/from school except for the traffic near my house. It gives me some time to turn up the music and decompress. I don't get much alone time, so maybe that's why I enjoy it :).

Edited to add: The only think that stinks is the $5 bridge toll!

About twenty minutes to the train station and thirty on the train to the school. Fifty total :)

Specializes in Pediatrics.

5 minute drive to the school, 15-45 minute drive to clinical sites, 45-60 minutes depending on traffic to our shared sim lab

Specializes in hospice, HH, LTC, ER,OR.

1.5 hours one way, no traffic. My first semster was online, I only had to drive down 2 times. This semester every Monday and whenever clinicals are assigned.

That would be a nice jog every morning!

Yeaaaa...I think I'm a little lazy for that one!! But it really would! Would be nice. :-) I might try a bike ride instead.

15-20 mins depending on traffic.

School is less than 10 minutes away. My clinical sites are anywhere from 20 minutes to about 2 hours away.

i am just transferring for my final semester of prerequisites, and my commute is 45 minutes. Ugh, lol, i hate long drives.

About 3 minutes, lol. I live right around the corner from my school. The furthest I have to travel for clinicals is about 25 minutes.
