Schedule changes

Hi everyone!

I'm in an associate's RN program in VA.

This program is constantly changing their class and especially clinical schedules usually with less than one week's notice and often from a weekday like Tuesday to a weekend like Saturday. I want to know, is this normal. Do they do the same thing at other schools?

they keep saying nurses are "flexible" so we should be too. I knew nurses had to be relatively flexible, but I didn't think it goes this far?

i would really appreciate your input!

Thanks!

    It is not normal in my experience. The dates and times of my classes and clinical rotations were set the previous semester so that students could register for the classes that worked best for their schedules. But this was a 4 year university program, and there were other non-nursing courses that were required as well.

    I think to a certain extent, this can be normal. My school tells us we need to be flexible because there is always a chance for things to change. I'm in my second semester and I have not experienced any class or clinical time changes. I know last semester a clinical group had to switch around, but it was a one time thing.
