Is nursing school only Mon-Thur at all schools?

Published

I will be finishing up my pre-req next sem @ Central Texas College and I will be applying for the RN program in the Spring at both CTC and Temple College , I have recently quit my mon-fri 8-5 job and started a new job on the weekends only fr,sat,sun.

Are there somedays were I will need to go to school on Fri or is schooling only Mon-Thur?

Hi there! I can't say for those schools specifically but at Blinn you go Monday through Friday. They select 30 students for the ADN program. Some classes we all attend and others they split us up into 2 groups. This semester I will be going Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday 9-4:30. I know of a couple of others that have been selected that have a much different schedule. Some of them go Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. This is only my first semester so I don't know what the schedule will be like for the other semesters.

HTH:)

I can't speak for other schools or students, but I know that I will have a 12 hour clinical on Fridays this fall. It will only be for the first half of the semester. The second half (OB) will be on Tuesdays at a different hospital. So, I really don't mind that much. If you get Friday clinicals while you are in school, maybe you can find someone to trade with you. There is a window (like a two week period) at my school where we can try to find someone to trade with us if we want/need a different schedule. I have never had or wanted to trade, but I know several people who have. You might ask others who go to those schools if they are allowed to trade schedules. All schools may not allow it. Good luck. :)

TWU was M-F and you could have clinicals on Sat and sometimes even Sun.

My program is three days a week. The days vary with semester and clinical group- I know this fall there are two different groups that have clinicals on Friday, and we didn't have any choice in the assignments (my clinicals are on Monday...joy).
