I'm from northern Maine but I haven't gone to either school. I do know quite a few nurses who did the accelerated program. I don't know specifics but I know a lot of people who liked the accelerated program a lot.

Sorry I can't help more. If I see one of them, I'll ask and message you.

Thanks Abby! I appreciate it.

I'm not enrolled at either school, but I had applied to USM a year and a half ago. I got the impression that they were pretty competitive. I was not accepted, though I have an undergrad degree from a good school, A's in all my recent classes, etc. I think the fact that I am not a Maine resident and I had not completed all of the required and recommended courses might have played into it.

Hey Sarah

I just saw your post from LAST MAY, wondered if you are still looking at accelerated programs. The program at UMFK is much longer than most accelerated programs because the 5 semesters includes breaks in the summer. The clinical hours I'd have to add up but it seems we do about 12 days per semester. Then a 6 week full time preceptorship at the end. You may also be able to knock off a few online courses the summer before the senior year to shorten things up.

Hopefully you are already in a program by now.

Good luck. :yeah:

I guess if you meet USM admission criteria, you'll be offered the admission. I know someone from Canada that went throught the accelerated program. Good Luck!
