I am trying to get an idea of what time commitment will be. Someone said there are classes/clinicals every day--is that at a certain time every day, or is it different through the week? Are you talking one one- or two-hour long classes every day, or all day class every day? Are clinicals for a certain number of hours, or do they vary? Based on what? These details mean a lot to me because I will have to go there from 45-50 minutes away and all the way through several towns that complicate the drive. I also have three kids in school all on different schedules.
Unfortunately, the schedule varies and is not predictable. The school will provide a schedule at the beginning of the term. Some days classes are 8-4, others 8-12. Some clinical days are 8 hours, others 10, others 12. This may depend on the clinical site, the term you are in, and the overall ability of the school to maximize their scheduling. They do a fantastic job of laying it all out for you as much as possible, but you WILL need to allow for some flexibility in your schedule.
It seems like most of the other nursing schools have notified applicants. It is hard waiting to hear from Chemeketa as this is the only school I applied to. Even though I've been waiting since I first applied, it seems like it is going to take forever for June to get here. At least I'm distracted with school and getting my papers done for finals week. Hopefully Chemeketa will let us all know earlier than expected.
