This program will take 8 semesters to complete as compared to 4 semesters in the traditional full-time program. The program begins with the twelve-week summer session and continues to run through the next seven consecutive semesters. Currently all students in the program attend a lecture class together on their respective campuses one evening per week which meets from 5 to 8:30 p.m. The group is then divided into three with each group attending a second evening from 4 to 10 p.m. Times may vary slightly depending upon the clinical rotation. This second evening is a combination of skill training which takes place on campus and clinical rotation. The Evenings used by the program are Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays. Hours for semester numbers 4 and 7 (summer semesters) are 3 – 10:30 p.m. due to summer sessions running only 12 weeks. Additionally, four days (7 a.m. - 3 p.m.) will be required during the course of the program. Students will be assigned the same two evenings per semester, but the evenings will change semester to semester.
Evening option students are required to complete all admissions and educational requirements for the Associate Degree in Nursing program. This is a selective admission program.
