I just came across your post and hope these answers help. You may have already attended an information session by now and found the answers for yourself.
1) Depending on what year you are accepted into the program, your lecture days will either be Monday and Tuesday or Tuesday and Wednesday. Your lab will fall within those same two days, respectively. Day lecture is from 12:30 - 3:00 and night lecture is from 5:00 - 7:30. Labs are scheduled either before after lecture.
2) Saturday clinicals are available but space is limited to 10 students per site. So, depending on how many clinical sites and instructors are available on Saturday, availability may be tight.
3) Generic students begin the program at Level I in the spring, only. LVN and Paramedic to RN transition students join the class during Level III during the second spring semester.
4) If you plan to continue working for the first semester, the evening class may work well for you. At the end of each semester, the instructors will ask your preference for the next semester, day or night and your preferred clinical day based on the prospective available dates.
Hope this helps! If you have any other questions, I'd be glad to try to help out. I just finished my 3rd semester at Kingwood and will be starting my last one next week.

I know that Lonestar/Kingwood has evening/weekend ADN programs. I have the following questions:
1) What times and days are you in class if you are admitted to the evening program.
2) What chances are likely that you will be in the Saturday clinical if in the evening/weekend program?
3) Does the evening/night program at Kingwood accept students for the Fall and Spring semesters or just Spring OR Fall?
4) My goal is to enter the program while I teach during the day for the first semester of the program only. After that, I will retire from teaching and then finish the program over the next 3 semesters.
Hope someone out there can answer. I'm very interested in this. Any insights you can give will be much appreciated!
