| No, in the traditional program, you
can go either part time or full time. The full time program is very
intense and you will carry 14 - 18 credits per quarter. You will
take nursing courses, attend clinical and lab and also complete
required support courses.
All students must complete NURS 110 and NURS 100
as concurrent courses. Following these first-quarter courses,
students may petition to follow the part time sequence. It will
lengthen the time needed to complete the program. Full time students can finish in 7 quarters. Part time
students finish at their own pace but often take 3 or more years.

contact your advisor
| You can sign up for the available
clinical sections as you do any other course. Unfortunately we do
not always know which agencies we are using or who will be at each
agency early enough to tell you. We can usually tell you about
pediatric or adult sections and whether they are days or evenings.
Please sign up for what is available, If you have any problems; see
your advisor or the course leader. We try to accommodate students
whenever possible. |
| IIt
is possible to work full time if you are taking a part time course
load but it is very difficult to work full time, attend classes full
time, and be successful. The nursing program requires a great deal
of studying and completion of clinical assignments. Students who
have other significant time commitments often find it hard to be
successful in nursing. Should you need to work full time you might
consider the part time program. |
| No, please don't sell
back your textbooks. You will need to keep all your nursing books.
They will be used throughout the nursing program. As we progress and
add new books we will still refer to certain areas in the
fundamental, skills and pharmacology texts. Whether to sell books
from the support courses is your decision. |
Do you have a completion
program for LPNS?
| An LPN seeking
admission to nursing may be eligible to receive life experience
credit for the first three quarters of the curriculum You will need
to meet the admission requirements and complete the support courses
(or receive transfer credit), Once a transcript is evaluated and
life experience granted, the student may be able to start in the
fourth quarter nursing courses. Click on the link for more
information. |
| Yes we

bulletin board on the 5th floor for information. The advisor is
Lorraine Boyd. |

| Before you enter
nursing you can talk to a academic advisor. Once you are accepted
into the nursing program, you are assigned an advisor. She can help
you with scheduling and answer all your questions about the nursing
program. |
| You must take a
nursing or nutrition elective. Your counselor in
Advising and Counseling Services
can assist you in determining eligible electives as you prepare to
enter the nursing program. Once you are admitted to the nursing
program, your nursing advisor can assist you. |
