I will begin the nursing program in Spring of '16. However, i was checking out the schedule for next year and there is one class that says Wednesdays from 9-12. However I found this on the website:
my question is, how much time will I actually spend in a classroom?
Help anyone?....

The picture doesn't show for me! But if it says the class is from 9-12 then you'd be in class for three hours
I don't know why the picture didn't post. But the picture says this:
5.000 Credit Hours
3.000 Lecture hours
6.000 Lab Hours
Why is it a 5 credit hour course and the schedule states Wednesdays from 9AM-12PM?
Will I be in class for more than 3 hours?

3 hours class, total 6 hours in clinical lab. You will have an additional 6 hours of lab/clinical scheduled in addition to the 9-12 on Wednesday. Often not announced until class starts and clinical contracts are signed
^^ three hours in lecture hall and six hours in labs per week. So that one class is three hours long and then you have a total of six hours in labs.
Really???.... There's another class that says:
Tuesdays: 10AM-12PM.
But, it also says:
3.000 Credit Hours
2.000 Lecture Hours
4.000 Lab Hours
I'm guessing the same applies to this?

Yep. That one has 2 lecture class hours per week and 4 lab hours per week
Wow! So as of right now my "schedule" looks like this:
M:9-12
Tues:10-3
W:9-12.
So, somewhere during the week they'll fit in those extra hours (6hrs & 4hrs)?

Sounds like it 😊
Thanks guys for the information. I'm excited to begin the program and i'll really trying to prepare myself for it. Any advice on how to prepare for nursing school?
