Excellent point Suzanne!
I was lucky that the first school I looked into required classes that was the core of most schools. It wasn't until after my first semester that I wisened up and looked into other schools to apply to. I ended up applying to three accelerated programs with slight variations. TIP: A Chem class with lab is preferable than none.
Also, the main reason I stayed away from CUNY was that I was worried about the classes being full before I can register. Another benefit with SUNY Suffolk was that I didn't have to meet their prereqs, you just have to fill out a waiver. Last summer the ANP I courses in Session I was full so I took ANP II before ANP I with no problems.

Again classes are also dependent if there are openings for when you want, and the professors that are teaching them.
Definitely do not look at a school for where it is located alone.
