I graduated in June 08. My program was 15 months long, full time M-F 7:30a-2:30pm. We got the normal Federal Holidays off but we didn't get Spring Break vacation or Summer vacation like the colleges do or the State LPN programs.

We had 5 mods. Each mod was 13 wks long.

almost 11 months, FT M-F. one week off in may (half-way thru).

clinicals vary but they combine day/swing. there will be saturdays at some point.

class always from 3 - 10pm. depending on the mod, we may have lecture 2 days/clinical 3 days per week or vice versa.

it's a pretty intense program. but I gotta tell you, even after only 5 wks, I'm beginning to think like a nurse!
