My daily schedule at the moment isn't that bad. We started out with one full clinical day (6 hours) in the lab, learned basic skills (cath., injections, bed making, etc..). I'm at Lady of Lourdes now in place of the lab. I love it. You will have another lab, health assessment, 3 hours (boring!). The rest you are in regular classes. Not that bad. The next quarters you have clinicals 3 days a week, all day. 2 days of classes. Not in dorm, heard they were small and expensive. I commute from Jersey everyday, take the train in. Most of the professors are nice. You really don't get to know them that well because they have so many students. I've never taken nursing classes before either, there pretty basic. (so far) 1st quarter-Nursing in Society, Genetics, Informatics, Health Promotion-easier classes. Study for Health Assessment and Principles in Nursing. Sorry to get back to you so late. Hope this helps.

Hi! 1st quarter ACE student. Almost made it through 1st quarter. It's not easy, but hopefully well worth it. You don't have much time for anything (this is suppossed to be the easy quarter too). They also recommend not working. I don't see how you could. But I seem to take it one day at a time. I actually should be studying right now. FYI we have a full week off for Thanksgiving (next week CAN'T WAIT) and 3 weeks off for Christmas, and an additional week off in between the other quarters. So if you think about it, it is only 9 1/2 months, not 11. Well any way congrats on getting in! Good luck to those who are still waiting to here! If you have any questions feel free to ask.:)
