Specializes in Neonatal ICU (Cardiothoracic).

When I was in school for my BSN, I basically had class from 8a-5p M-F, work from 5-8p M-F, Studied after work, and on the weekends.

Now....

I'm in a much more demanding masters program. I have class from 8a-8p on Tuesdays and work 3 12 hour shifts a week. My 3 days off are spent studying, catching up, and social life...

OK I am a lazy senior. If you had asked me this question the last 3 semesters it would have been a different story but now I am just burned out and completely lazy.

Mon, Tues- lecture ( 4-6 hrs)..come home and take a nap. Wake up and study or maybe not study- depends on my mood. The honest answer is usually don't study but may listen to my taped lectures in parts.

Wed, Thurs clinical ( 8 hours) come home and take a nap. Wake up and study or maybe not study- depends on my mood and how I feel I am handling the material. So far- so good.

Friday- Study and write whatever papers are due the next week.

Sat, Sun- Totally relax. Work if I am on schedule. If not I just relax. If it' sthe weekend before a test I study some both days. Otherwise I dont.

Thats basically it. Like I said- Lazy Senior still managing A's

LPN student. Here's my schedule:

Monday, Wednesday (and sometimes Tuesdays, like this week...) :

clinicals from 6 AM to 6 PM.

Tuesdays and Thursdays : lecture 1 PM to 5 PM, and then lab 6 pm to 8:30 PM.

I'm off Fridays, but I work on care plans, projects and study for exams, which are on Tuesdays and Thursdays, too.

(Last week I had two careplans, and it took over 8 hours to get them done.)

Oh, and 350 NCLEX style questions per week, not done in school.
