What courses were they? They didn't allow you to use StraighterLine for the courses?

I was starting in Spring but deferred. Have you gotten the schedule yet? Do you know what days/times classes fall on?

Hey Guys,

I am in the program, classes can be any day of the week and can be scheduled for the day or evening and last 3 hours each. Classes are not on weekends but clinicals can be.

How difficult is the program thus far? Do you think you'd be able to work if your job is remote/ and or flexible? Also, may I ask, are the remote classes live? Like are they at a set time every week and if so, how often? Thank you so much in advance!

Hi,

I had all the same questions when I started. People work. They usually end up working less or not at all some terms. (But there are those rare people who work and have a kid and still get it all done. Maybe they don't sleeep; I don't know.) Remote classes are live; attendance is mandatory; and you have to participate in questions they ask. The live lecture program they use tells them when you sign on and if you are present in front of your camera, which has to be on. Your class and clinical schedule is the same for 8 weeks and then changes for the next 8-week term. You don't know your schedule, especialy clinical days until right before the term starts, so flexibility is key. We typically have two, 3-hour classes per week. Sometimes you will have an additional writing class that doesn't have an associated lecture. You will also be in a hospital for clinical at least once a week and you go in for lab days at the Trenton campus on other days on top of that. You have more lab days in the earlier terms because you have a lot of hands on stuff to learn, but they decrease in later terms. It's not easy. When they say accelerated they mean it. Just one class can cover 10 textbook chapters for one lecture, so there is a lot you learn on your own time. If you treat it like a job, it's doable.
