Hi, I also live in Ft. Worth. I am attending Concorde. The schedule for the first 3 months is Mon-Fri. 8-12 skills/lab and 1-5 lecture. After you complete the first 3 months (level 1), then your schedule changes. You will be placed in a nursing home or hospital (for long term care), this is level 2. Your schedule will be 6am-2pm or 2pm-10pm or 6am-6pm. Doing that time you will only attend class 2 days a week, sometimes 4 hrs. or 8 hrs. There are 4 levels. Level 1 is the Foundations of nursing, level 2 is geriatrics, level 3 is medical/surgical and pediatrics, and level 4 is obstetrics-maternity and more medical/surgical and pediatrics, which all of your clinicals will be done in a nursing home, hospital, clinics, and long-term care facilities. It's a good school, and the people really do care that you succeed. Once I finish I plan to work for a couple of years, then go back for my RN. Hint: If you work for a hospital for one year, they will do tuition reimbursements, so when I go back for my RN, the hospital will pay for the course.
