Re: Metro Accelerated BSN

Hi, I'm wondering if you got any feedback about Metro's program. I'm waiting to hear back from them, and haven't been able to find out anything about their program's reputation, quality, etc. I have been accepted to Regis, but have to take 5 additional classes for them, which adds up to big bucks with their tuition. Thanks for any info!

Hi,

I was accepted to MSCD for spring 2009 and I am also trying to find out some info on the school or get in touch with a past or present student. If you found anything out or decided to go there will you let me know.

Thank you any info will help with my decision

Re: Metro Accelerated BSN

The only information I was able to obtain was on their website and the prereqs kept increasing and admission requirements changing. I heard it was a fairly new program so ended up going somewhere else.

Re: Metro Accelerated BSN

I just got into Metro for April '09 also. My problem: I've conditionally signed an agreement with Denver school of Nursing also. Now I am picking between the two. Both schools don't have that much info about themselves on their website and no students really talk about either that much as well. My basis for choosing:

Metro: 13 months, $27,000(or so)
DSON: 21 months, $41,000!

I want to be a nurse as quickly as possible, so I am considering canceling my contract with DSON and going to Metro. It doesn't make me feel that good though when I don't know too much about either.

One of the nurses at my medsurg clinical site went to metro. I don't think she had any complaints about her education, but she told my friend she was up until 2 many nights just trying to finish her work and it was pretty stressful. On the other hand, she was done and working as fast as possible.

I weigh my options on the grounds of eventually becoming the best nurse I can be. Is forcing a 12 month program more likely to negatively effect me when it comes down to actually working as a nurse?

Re: Metro Accelerated BSN

I think that as long as you go into an accelerated program knowing that it is going to be a lot of work, fast paced, and a full time job I think you will succeed. I know that the accelerated programs are for me because I want to become a nurse as soon as possible and with so many accelerated programs I don't think it makes you any less prepared to become a nurse. I am trying choose between MSCD, Drexel and Linfield College. Keep me posted if you find out any other info. I did find the NCLEX pass rates for MSCD and they were mostly in the 90's%.

I see the $27,000 on Metro's website. I assume it if for in-state students. If you are from out of state, you may want to check into that. The difference between Metro and DSON may not be as much as you think.

This is from the Metro website. Which does surprise me, b/c usually public schools do charge for out of state, which can be really expensive. Thanks for the thought!

"The estimated cost of the 2009 ACNO is approximately $27,000, which includes tuition, lab fees, Metro student fees, health insurance, uniforms and some books and supplies. This is a cash funded program and receives no state funding; therefore the cost is the same for in-state and out-of-state students."
