Student Survive 2 Thrive: April 2012

Many people find it difficult to convert between military time and standard time; however, many healthcare facilities require the use of military time. This practice test is designed to help people learn how to convert between the two ways of telling time through practical application. It is geared toward nurses, but the concepts can be used by anyone.

Here is a quick review and specific examples regarding how to convert between standard time and military time, also known as international time:

Standard Time	Military Time
May have 3-4 digits	Always has 4 digits
Based on a 12-hour system	Based on a 24-hour system
Has a colon between the hour and minutes	Never has a colon
Includes a.m., p.m., noon, or midnight after the numbers	Nothing is added after the numbers

Conversion	Standard Time	Military Time
Midnight	12:00 midnight (or a.m.)	2400 or 0000
For times between 12:01 a.m. & 12:59 a.m., change the 12 to 00 and remove the colon and a.m.	12:15 a.m. 12:22 a.m. 12:30 a.m. 12:50 a.m. 12:55 a.m.	0015 0022 0030 0050 0055
For times between 1:00 a.m. and 11:59 a.m., leave out the colon and a.m. and place a 0 in front of single digit hours (before 10).	2:00 a.m. 3:25 a.m. 8:30 a.m. 10:00 a.m. 10:59 a.m. 11:15 a.m. 11:48 a.m.	0200 0325 0830 1000 1059 1115 1148
Noon	12:00 noon (or p.m.)	1200
For times between 12:01 p.m. and 12:59 p.m., leave out the colon and p.m.	12:11 p.m. 12:21 p.m. 12:40 p.m. 12:55 p.m.	1211 1221 1240 1255
For times between 1:00 p.m. and 11:59 p.m., add 12 to the hour and remove the colon and p.m.	1:00 p.m. 4:14 p.m. 6:45 p.m. 10:30 p.m. 11:11 p.m.	1300 1614 1845 2230 2311
