question about evening RN program

onlyjesus99 · Jul 20, 2010

I'm going to apply for the evening nursing program in the spring 2011 because I passed the deadline for the day program. What does it exactly mean if its evening? does it mean the classes are at night? how long does it take to get an rn?

I don't mean to sound rude or anything, but maybe you should do a little bit more research before applying??

Getting your RN can take anywhere from 1-4 years depending on what type of program you're in..

We also have no way of knowing when the classes are or how long the program is without even knowing what school this is you are talking about.

My school the RN evening program is two nights a week and one full day of clinicals, either Friday or Saturday (during the day not evening). The nights are M & W. Monday is 5-9pm and Wed is 4-9PM.

I forgot to mention our day time and night program both are 2 years. The hours in class/clinicals are the same just instead of being spread aout less hours per day over 5 days it is more hours per day each of the two evenings.

Hi, I start the evening Associates RN program end of August. We had to have already taken our second level A&P II to be accepted, which is not a pre-req for the day program. Although we were accepted into the evening program if slots are available during the day program for a class we can take it during the day. I'm taking my assessment class at noon just because I could and it was one less night out of the house and away from family. However, our evening lecture class is at 5 pm, our lab is at 4 pm on the same days. Our Clinicals are all evenings (4-11) p.m. and we cannot go to the day clinical even if a spot frees up. The length of time at our school to earn the degree is the same as the day program, 2 years. I believe I will find that I'll want to take all my classes in the evening next semester because those are the students I'll be learning/working with in clinicals. We'll see, I'm guessing that though.

My clinicals will be on weekends, and classes 1-2 evenings per week. Two years to complete, just like the day program.

I'm going to apply for the evening RN program in the spring of 2011. How long does the evening program usually take? Also, what is exactly the evening program? Does this mean the classes are held at night?

Evening RN programs typically offer classes that are conducted during evening hours.

The length of your evening program will entirely depend on the specific school that you plan to attend. The nursing faculty members at the school will know exactly how long the evening program takes, so you might want to place a telephone call to these people because they're there to answer these types of informational questions.

The school that I attended offered a 22-month evening program that consisted of two theory (classroom) days per week and one clinical (hospital) shift per week.

I am starting an evening program in September and it takes 3 years to complete, where the day program takes 2 years.

What evening program are you applying to? I'm starting an evening program in August and classes are Monday through Thursday 6:30-9:30pm with a 12 hour clinical on Saturday. It's two years just like the day program.

I just graduated from a 2 year Evening/Weekend program. The classes were from 6-9 M,T,Th with Sat and Sun clinicals the first year and T,W,Th 6-9 with Sat & Sun clinicals the second year. I worked full time too and it was tough but I made it through. :)

I am currently enrolled in a weekend/evening program for a BSN. I am finishing my last 2 pre-reqs which have taken 2 years and will start the nursing program in August which is an additional two years. Out first semester we have class/labs Tue/Thurs 6-9 and clinical every other Saturday for 7-11 but the times and days will change each semester but the classes are always in the evenings and clinicals on the weekends. I had to do an evening/weekend program b/c I also work full time.
