how many days a week do you go to nursing school

You are in nursing school anywhere from 2 to 4 years, depending on which degree you pursue, the school you go to and whether or not you go full- or part-time.

Two years: If you get your Associate of Science in Nursing (ADN), also called an associate’s degree in nursing (ADN) degree at a community college, you can expect this program to last two years. ADNs are offered at both private and public colleges. The ADN is usually considered a career ladder program. This means that you can start here and then later transfer your credits into a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program if you choose to continue your education further later.

Four years: If you are pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), also called bachelor’s of science in nursing, this will take four full academic years if pursued full time at most schools since it is considered an undergraduate degree. These programs exist at public universities for those who have not been previously enrolled as well as private universities who accept incoming freshmen with no previous college credits from another university on their transcripts. Some accelerated BSN programs exist for those who already have their bachelor’s degrees but do not have any credits from nursing classes yet. These programs typically require three semesters or one year plus summers to complete rather than four years as with traditional BSN programs.

The amount of time spent in class (lectures, labs, and clinicals) depends on your program.

In general, most nursing programs have you in class a certain amount of days a week for two to three years. Lecture classes are typically held Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm, but your schedule may differ from this depending on the school you attend. Some programs require students to work or complete assignments on the weekends, even if there are no classes during that time. It’s also common for clinical rotations to be held on nights and weekends. The exact amount of time you spend in class each week depends on your type of program and the school you attend.

Class can be every day of the week including some Saturdays or possibly one night a week.

The general range of days you can attend class are in the two to four-day range, with three days being the most common.

Many nursing programs offer weekend classes (Friday-Sunday) to accommodate working adults. However, there is usually only one weekend option and it might not be offered every semester.

The hours per week that you attend class varies by program and if you are in lecture, lab, or clinical hours. If a program offers only daytime classes; it could be 10-12 hours per week without labs or clinicals.

Clinical hours may change the amount of time spent at school each week significantly because they are often scheduled on non-school days or even nights/weekends.

Nursing school is one of the most demanding programs and takes a lot of dedication and hard work.​

Nursing school is one of the most demanding programs and takes a lot of dedication and hard work. The amount of time required from nursing students to successfully complete their program varies, but students can expect to spend anywhere from three to five days a week in class for up to ten hours per day with some clinical experience sprinkled in there too. The amount of time spent in nursing school depends on the type of program you are enrolled in and what path you are taking to becoming a nurse. A bachelor’s degree will obviously take longer than a two-year associate degree and online courses take longer than traditional ones.

The general idea is that the more time you spend at school, the less time you get off. Obviously, this leaves little room for anything else other than studying or sleeping, but it also means that a huge chunk of your life is spent thinking about being in nursing school or doing something related to it. Your social life, relationships, family gatherings and even work may suffer as your focus shifts towards getting through classes each day unscathed.
