How many semesters is your program?

Published

I start my adn program this fall and am wondering how long other students programs last. My program will last 5 semesters, it seems short from what I've heard. Any input? How long was your program? If all goes well I'll graduate early 2013.

Specializes in Emergency Department.

Just 4 sixteen week semesters... no summers. ADN program starting this August.

Specializes in Medical-Surgical, Telemetry.

Mine is 5 semesters as well, but the 1st one is a "prerequisite" semester so technically its not part of the actual nursing program. So I will have 4 semesters of nursing classes Fall 2011, Spring 2012, Fall 2012, and hopefully graduate May 2013 with an AAS and be eligible to take the NCLEX! Good luck everyone!! I'm terrified :(

For mine it is 4 semesters, but they recommend not combining the nursing courses with the pre reqs so in reality it is usually about 6-7 semesters (for an associates) unless you are brave enough to mix them.. which I was not lol

I totally understand. The pre-reqs for my program were suppose to be 3 semesters, then the school is 5. But with this program, you can't start unless all pre-reqs are done. I think it's better that way!

We have to have all our prereqs done before we can apply. The program I'm in (ADN) is either FT or PT. FT is 4 semesters and PT is 7.

Yeah I think so too.. it is just so much info that trying to cram all the pre reqs in with nursing classes isn't a good idea. At my school, we have the option to take the pre reqs with nursing courses or do them before applying.. I had most of mine done when I got accepted. One thing that sucked for me is that I took an A&P class that had a different structure than what my school had required and I have to re take them, which I am doing right now.. back to back this summer. And I start nursing courses in September. Whew.. lol
