Archer, the program has been really good so far. I am in Block 3 as I stated and my typical weekly schedule is crazy. Mon - Work 06:30 - 16:00, Pharm Class 17:30 - 21:00 Tues - Work 06:30 - 16:00, Study 17:00 - 21:00 Wed - Work 06:30 - 16:00, Nursing Process class from 17:30 - 21:00. Thurs - Work 06:30 - 16:00, Study 17:00 - 21:00 Fri - Work 06:30 - 16:00, pick PT and do careplan until about 23:00 Sat - Clinicals 06:45 - 17:15. Then relax and do nothing the rest of the night. Sun - go for morning motorcycle ride then hit the books to be ready for inevitable exam or quiz on Mon. My best advice to you would be to be dilligent about studying, don't fall behind, and work in study groups. (It seems to help when you study in groups.) Clinicals and school are what you make of them. If you whine and complain with the rest of the group, you will not have much fun. But if you go in with the attitude of wanting to learn and experience as much as possible, you will have a great time and most likely become a great nurse!

Hello all new member here and currently a block 3 student at GWCC. I saw someone talking about Pathophysiology not being required and how it has been incorporated into the nursing program. I just thought I would throw my 2 cents out there. Take Pathophys if you have the opportunity! I think they have done us a grave injustice by removing that class from the pre reqs. You will be miles ahead of your fellow nursing students if you have taken a pathophys class! I really wish I had taken it before I got into the program!
