It certainly does sound demanding, but that is what I would expect. Thanks so much for your response. Can I ask you, what kind of hours are the clinicals? And the days of classes and labs as well? Of course there would be a broad range of schedules for new AAs, but upon graduation and securing employment what would be a reasonable schedule to expect -- I see a lot of "7 - 3" in the message boards. Is this reasonable to expect or is it more likely that one will be doing tons of overtime, late hours, etc?
