Echo, that makes me feel a lot better. I am still very unclear as to what the load will be like though. Last night, per my request, our professor tried to clarify what to expect in first semester. Tell me if this sounds about right. M/W - Lecture from 8-4 T - Although the schedule says T/Th from 8-4 we're actually in lab just T from 8-12 Th/F or F/S mornings we're doing clinicals. Does this look right?

So, after my 3rd attempt to get into ACC's ADN program, I've gotten in. Like many of my peers I currently work a full time job (in the service industry, more flexible than most), have a mortgage to get paid, and all the other responsibilities that require some sort of incoming cash flow. I have yet to sit down with a professor and really discuss what to expect in my first semester. Just looking at the schedule online at EVC it looks something like 8-12 M/Th and about 8-4 T/Th (lab/clinicals). This seems like something I can work with. But a student whom my fiance works with who just started going to her clinical says she is getting up at 4a.m. to do them. She got 6 hours of sleep last week and said it was the most she's gotten in a long time. Oh, and this girl only works two days a week. How many of us are borrowing money to pay our living expenses? What do the hours really look like? Dave
