allerina, I'm hoping you could help me since you're already in the program! I have just been offered a spot to start Fall 2014 at Valencia. My problem is since I was not expecting to start so soon, I booked a vacation on Dec 13th which I cannot back out from. I checked the class dates for Fall 2014 and classes for Nursing I ends on Dec 14th. My question is, will finals fall on Dec 13 (Saturday) and Dec 14 (Sunday) or will classes and finals end on a weekday (Dec 11/12th)? I'm really in a dilemma and this is the reason why I cant make up my mind whether to start this Fall or next year.
I would see if you can cut back to part-time. The program is really time consuming. For the first semester the schedule is MW 9-12:30, T/Th 9-4 with a break from 12-1 for lunch. The only clinical 1st semester is 2 days at a LTC facility at the end of the semester. I studied after class and at night from like 6-10 and my fiance would put my little one to bed so I could get continuous studying in. It's definitely a sacrifice but totally will be worth it in the end.
