When I went in for my interview the director of the program claimed that we will be in school from 8am-9pm 5 days per week. Is this possible? I didn't indicate that I found this disturbing rather I told her that I could do it because I sensed it is what she would want to hear. Truthfully though, who the heck wants to be stuck in school for 13 hours per day 5 days per week? I know it's an accelerated program and we cannot work but even so I feel that is way to many hours out of a day to attend class. My mother told me that this woman is pulling my leg and that she was told almost the same thing when she went to nursing school years back. She said that the director was just testing my response to see how bad I really want in to the program. She says it's likely I will be going to class from 8am-3 or 4pm on non-clinical days and that the director was likely including what she feels it would take with study hours included.
So for those of you already in nursing school: Did your interviewer say something along the same lines to you and did it later turn out to be untrue? What are your school hours?
