Career-driven schools offer nursing programs with evening classes. ITT Technical Institute has 100 campuses in the United States and offers a nine quarter course taken at night on three days of the week, four to six hours of class time a day. Students learn topics such as nursing roles, anatomy and physiology, clinical nursing concepts and techniques, mental health nursing and other subjects.
Night and weekend classes are available at many community colleges that offer nursing. Flexible hours make it easier for students to earn associate's degrees in nursing. For instance, Pensacola College in Florida offers a program with an evening and weekend track with human patient simulation, case studies at nursing and residential care facilities, ambulatory health care and hospital work. The best way to find out if your local community college offers an evening nursing program is to contact their department of nursing and inquire about their flexible programs, or you can contact the Board of Registered Nursing for your state.
To find universities with evening classes, you may be able to find a list online. The Board of Registered Nursing for California lists all RN programs with evening classes for associate's and baccalaureate degrees as well as entry level master's degree programs. California State University at East Bay is one university with a night nursing school. Their program runs for two years of pre-nursing requirements and then eight quarters of nursing courses with activities in hospitals, clinics, child care facilities and retirement centers.
