Wish I could but can't afford it :o .

any more info of Valpo U???

I am currently in the valpo BSN program, and I accelerate in the fall of 2010.

I got an acceptance letter today for the accelerated BSN starting May 2010, anyone else? For those already in the program, what are your thoughts?

Hi 06california!

I got accepted to May 2010 ABSN program as well. Are you from California? I'm in CA right now and will be moving to Indiana for school.. a big change but I'm looking forward to starting nursing school.

Hi chasemelony

How do you like the BSN program at Valpo? Are the instructors helpful? Based on my personal experience, the dean has been really good at answering questions I have re. the program (compared to coordinators of other nursing schools)

Congrats on being accepted :anpom: I love their program. It's challenging but if you put the time and effort into studying, you will be fine. The Professors are very nice and understanding. They are always available to help if you have any problems.

Specializes in psych, addictions, hospice, education.

I don't know about the BSN program, but I got my MSN at Valpo and it was great. I got my BSN at IU and Valpo was SO much better. I enjoyed each and every faculty member and felt they were helpful, knowledgeable, and caring. I think it's an awesome school.

Winnieander-

I am originally from northern California (waaayyy up there), but I am currently finishing my undergrad in Seattle, WA. When I found out I got into Valpo I almost jumped the gun and made my decision right away seeing as how it is an hour away from Chicago where I have family. But then I found out two days later that I got into . It's a tough decision and one thing that doesn't help is the fact that there are hardly any threads to snoop on here about Valpo (I think this is one of three!). The Drexel threads are very active and it helps to know what the environment is like and what I can expect (super intensive 11 month program).

I'm curious to know where the clinical sites are for Valpo, and how much students are recruited for jobs leading up until graduation? Those are two of my biggest concerns there.

The school I am at now is a very liberal, 35,000+ student population school. It has definitely raised the bar for me as to what I expect in an education, not size why, but resources, teaching quality, location, credibility, etc. And not that Valpo isn't outstanding in any of those categories, I just really haven't heard enough to make a conscious decision.

I'm interested in this program, has the application deadline passed for 2010? DO they allow a Fall entrance?

Thanks for everyone's response. I had trouble finding threads about Valpo as well and it's really hard to make a decision based on the school's dept of nursing website. I was hoping to read people's opinion about the program (so far 2 positive on this thread....) it's a big decision to pick the school to go to because it's a lot of money and time that we're putting in for this. I want to be sure that my education will get me somewhere when I graduate : /

I agree w/ 06California, it's really important for future ABSN students to know how many students are recruited for jobs leading up until graduation, as well as the passage rate for the NCLEX.

If anyone else have any info on Valpo, please let us know!
