I also think it's a better program... that is for someone new to it that hasn't started to work towards it. My only problem is that they didn't only change how they work it but they also changed the pre and co req's and that made me lose out on 7 credits. I know it doesn't seem like much but for me it IS. I'm trying to do all that I can to get all the pre and co req's out of the way so that I only have "just" the nursing classes. It's very hard haveing 3 young kids and no babysitter and only being able to go part-half time. So it was a chore and I worked VERY hard for those credits and now they are no good to me. Now I don't want to come across as a whiny/comkplaining person or that I'm the only one having a hard time (I know I'm not)... I'm just venting. I know I'll get there some day... I just hope this doesn't keep changing every so often or I'll be in a old folk home myself before I"m able to get my degree LOL. Or I'll end up moveing before I'm able to finish and only a few of my classes will count towards another colleges RN program... I swear that's the luck

I was wondering if there's a new nursing program/outline? I looked at the course outline and now it's a ladder program... and from what I understand it's a bit different than what it was like 3 months ago. There's another math class and a few of the classes I've taken don't show up as required on this one. So before I only had 3 more classed to take before all my co and pre reqs were done and now there are couple more classes I need and 2 classes I took look like it was all for nothing. Anyone care to shed some light on this? Thanks

Thank you so much Michigangirl... I can't thank you enough. I thought that the class would be every day. SO you shed some light at the end of my tunnel. I was thinking that I would have to wait years till I would be able to do the program. So then classes really are only 3 days? That would be VERY doable for me. Is there a chance that you could be there more than 3 days? I don't mind the hours changing. The big thing for me is how many days. I would be able to get someone to watch the kids for a few days... but not every day. Thank you so much. I'm sure I'll have more questions LOL. But right now I'm too excited that I (finally) got a response back to think of anything else.

I was just wondering if anyone could give an outline on what the days are like during the semesters? I know it's made up of 2 fall, 2 winter and 1 spring semester... but I wanted to know things like... are you there Monday through Friday 9am to 5pm for class? Are clinicals done during school hours? For example would a class on such and such a day be a clinical or would clinicals be done after actual class hours or on the weekend (kinda like having a job on top of going to school). I guess I would just like to have a overview of what the actual program hours are like. I have small children and am trying to get an idea of how to balance/juggle school for one and a babysitter for the other... so when one is in school I would need someone to pick him up if I'm still in school (for example). Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this.
