anyone know what the first 2 semesters look like? I get the 12 unit part but what does day to day schedule look like. How many days a week do you have to be on campus?

If things haven't changed since I was there, your 1st semester will go about like this: For the first 6 weeks or so, you'll be doing the majority of your time on campus, full days. If you're scheduled for 7a-2p (or whatever it is now) you'll be there until that time. You're likely to be doing 4 days/week, MTWTh or TWThF. My schedule was Tu-Fr for most of my program. After you complete those first few weeks, you will then start going to your various clinical sites. Once that happens, you won't usually do a full week on campus, it'll be more like the following: Tu and 1/2 of Wed you're on campus, 2nd half Wed you're at a clinical site doing patient care research. Thu and Fri you're at the clinical site for the full day doing hands-on patient care. You'll meet with your clinical instructors very frequently, for the first semester you will be doing MOST of your patient care with direct supervision. During second semester, you'll a small amount of independence as you'll be allowed to do some things without direct supervision. With the possible exception of the first week, second semester's schedule will be very much like the 2nd half of first semester. 1 and 1/2 days didactic, 2 1/2 days clinical. You pretty much get straight to doing your clinical time in 2nd semester. Third and Fourth semesters will be fairly similar to 2nd semester in structure. The content, of course, will cover different subjects / areas during each semester but the didactic/clinical pattern will usually be pretty typical of the above. There may be a rare occasion where you might have to do a clinical rotation that isn't 7-2 or 8-2, but they'll tell you when/if that will happen. Once you reach the end of your 4th semester, you'll do an externship/preceptorship experience where you'll work with a designated RN as your preceptor and you'll be on their schedule, unless you're required to be in class. 

 

The Sacramento region pretty much uses standardized colors for nursing students and where they are in each phase of their clinical training. Red = 1st Semester. Yellow=2nd Semester. Green=3rd Semester. Blue=Final/4th Semester. 

 

For those of you doing the LVN-RN program, Summer is your transition and you'll learn the stuff that you weren't taught in your LVN program and you'll then start 3rd semester with the cohort that is going through their 2nd semester now. Summer session books probably won't be available until just before the Summer semester begins, you may have to pick them up in-person on campus. You'll most likely have to pick up books that are usually acquired by 1st semester students as some of those books are used throughout the entire program. You should hear about that stuff during your orientation meeting, so it might be a good idea to not buy books until you've attended that orientation. Also hopefully you're not doing the 30-unit option. That won't get you a degree. If you've done all the RN preqrequisites, you'll graduate with the same degree as the traditional RN students. 

 

For those of you who were accepted, congrats and you're in for an amazing, but tough, ride. SCC has a very good program.
