One of the most common questions for new RN-BSN
online students, is how many hours a week will the classes take of my time. A good rule of thumb is to allow an average
of 5-6 hours a week for the course
work. With an online program, the time spent
will decrease somewhat once acclimated to the technology.
Most students adjust their schedules to accommodate the
hours required to successfully complete an RN-BSN online program. Adjustments can occur in various ways: decreased work hours, family time, social
time, or time spent watching television.
Many students have supportive family and friends to help with household
chores to accommodate the 5-6 hours per week the student will need for class
work. The key is to build a support network to help adjust your schedule to
allow for class time/work of about 5-6 hours per week. Your success with school will be related to
how well you can keep a schedule of time spent on course work. Be sure to set aside at least one hour- five
days a week and schedule that time on your calendar just as if it was an
appoint to keep.
