Scottsdale CC vs Phoenix CC vs Gateway CC... class schedules?

[boru]

All 3 of these schools have good reputations and clinical sites. Because of my job, my question is mainly about the schedules of these programs. That's how I will make the decision on where they go on my list.

From talking to some people that finished PC's program and reading an earlier thread, it seems that PC runs three days per week in the earlier blocks and two days in the later blocks.

Because I've already set up my work schedule, my main concern is about class and clinicals on weekends. I've looked up the clinical sites for all 3 and there are very few clinicals scheduled on Fri, Sat, Sun. (SC doesn't seem to have any on the weekends).

Anyone attending or that has attended these 3 programs, can you please share your experience with class and clinical scheduling?

Hey! I don't know if this is like way too late, but I just finished up Block 1 at SCC, and my schedule was: Mon 3-5 lecture, Weds and Thurs 8-2 lecture. Clinicals were either Tues OR fridays for 9 hours. I know next Block 1 they said they're changing it to two-7 hour lectures and one clinical day. For Block 2, we have lecture Mon and Tues for 7 hours 8-3, and clinicals for 9 hours on wednesdays.

Hope this helped!!

There are no guarantees that schedules will be even remotely similar for successive blocks. Keep in mind, you need to be prepared to adjust the rest of your life to accomodate your school schedule. Schedules, except programs that are specifically set up for a certain schedule like a weekend specific program, may vary wildly from block to block.
