Re: Which is the best route to take for my BSN?
I graduated with my BSN from Metro State, the accelerated program. The overall cost was much cheaper than DSN. However, to be accepted into the accelerated program you must already have a BS. The accelerated program is now 17 months long (it was 13 mo when I went through the program). During the program, it's near impossible to work because the schedule is constantly changing. There is a new module every 6 weeks and they often wait to give you the schedule until RIGHT BEFORE the new module starts so you can't schedule consistant work days. Metro also has an RN to BSN option that I don't know much about. That being said, I was quite dissapointed with the Metro program. They were going through major changes, two of their best teachers just left and I feel like important information was just straight out skipped!! I was also unimpressed with clinical placements. Really, a quality learning experience was not considered when placing students!!!! It was more like I found a place for you to get your required hours for clinicals... I don't care if you don't have a good experience

It was quite frustrating!!! On a positive note, I did feel like I was prepared for the NCLEX and pass the 1st time in 75 questions. Im not sure if I can attribute that to my study skills or Metros program!
