I applied to the bridge program for the summer. How hard is it to get into the program??

How many days a week do you go to school/ clinical? Any other details you can give me?

It depends on your grades especially your science grades. I got on on the first try but I know people that were waitlisted. Clinical is 1 day a week and the program is very fast paced. Be prepaired to spend a great deal of time reading the books.

Congrats !! It is very fast paced.

You have to go in for lab time, orientations and exams. Then you have your clinical days and the night before to get your patient info. Lab only lasts the first 7 weeks.

How is it going so far? How many days a week do you go in on average?

Sorry for the lat reply, betweek this program and work I do not spend much time reading the boards.

1 day a week during the first semester plus exams. That is after your 3 day orientation. Second semester you have to go to clinical the day before to pick up your patient assignment and info to do your pre clinical paperwork. Also you have mental health clinical two days second semester so on the weeks you have that you will spend 3 days at a clinical site. Still have to be on campus for exam days which is about every 3 or 4 weeks.
