Your friend may be talking about the direct entry program at Northeastern University in Boston.... lots of "misunderstandings" on the part of potential students.
She may want to check the specifics again, because they do not offer entry without ICU experience.
For some reason lots of folks “misinterpret” the requirements for these direct entry programs and end up thinking they can bypass the year in critical care. This is an AANA requirement the program must adhere to maintain accreditation.
