I am not in Tulsa but OKC area. Our schedual is different every semester and even changes at the 8 week mark when we switch clinicals.

We have lectures on Mon and Fri. Clinicals for the first 8 weeks ( for OB) were 12 hour day shifts, now that I am doing Peds at Childrens we have clinicals broken up in the evenings for 8 hrs at a time 2 days a week, we are usually there till about 10pm. So right now that gives me tuesdays off to study (or not...haha).

Anyways I'm at UCO and LOVE it :)

But like everyone else said, clinical times vary by the semester and the clinical. We do though have clinical anywhere from 2-3 days a week though (critical care clinicals are 3 days a week for example, OB and peds, Med/surg is 2 days a week as a general rule).

I'm first semester at osu-okc. As first semester students we are in class two days a week and clinical once every other week. I think it changes each semester.

I'm in OKC as well and go to OCU, love it. I'm at the end of my 2nd semester (next Wednesday is my last final - yay!). Our schedules vary each semester to an extent, but as a general rule we have theory/lecture classes on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. Wednesday afternoons we go to the clinical sites to get patient assigments (except for mental health) and spend that afternoon/evening working on preclinical assignments (looking up meds, patho-phys, etc.). On Thursdays and Fridays we have clinicals - and whether that is 7-3 or 3-11 depends on which clinical rotation it is and all of that... Care plans and post-clinical assignments are usually due Monday before class starts. All in all, it's a pretty good schedule except that next fall our Monday and Tuesday classes are in the afternoon and it really messes up my day - I'd prefer to get it over with early and have the rest of the day for studying and those other fun things like laundry, errands, cooking dinner... :uhoh3:
