Example Weekly Schedule
Full time students find they are at the college or in clinicals during most of the week. Some of this time is for classes, some time is spent preparing to care for clients, two days are generally spent in the clinical area, and the rest of the week is used for studying or group work. Classes are generally held between 8am and 3pm and clinical experiences may start at 6:45am. There are very few days longer than 3:30pm. One student described her typical week this way: Sunday - study for any exams on Monday, finish reading assignments for the coming week. Monday - classes, then research at the hospital and preparation at home to get ready to care for clients the next two days. Tuesday - in the clinical area and/or lab, refine clinical paperwork. Wednesday - in the clinical area and/or lab, complete readings and study for any Thursday exams. Thursday - classes plus finish all clinical paperwork for the week, complete readings, and study for any Friday exams. Friday - classes and/or lab Saturday - FAMILY TIME!
