Does anyone know when they send out their acceptance letters?! The suspense is killing me!

Hi Foxx -- congrats! No, there is absolutely no way to accelerate the program. Whether you start in spring or fall, you have to do the 4 consecutive semesters in the exact order because the skills build on the previous semesters. The required courses are not offered in the summer. The only Nursing courses offered in the summer are1 - Pharmacology (3 credits: NOT a required course)2 - A 2 credit supplemental clinical class. This is a 3-week, 3-days a week clinical-only course for those who want more hospital exposure. This course cannot substitute for a required course nor can it be used to make up for a failure in clinical during the school year.3 - Basic Health Assessment (NU 121: one credit)I'm guessing that the only purpose for taking the 1 credit Basic Health Assessment in the summer would be 1) if you are starting in the fall it could make your 1st semester easier to have this out of the way or 2) if you failed it in the Spring (you have to get a C or better to pass). You have to pass this course before you can register for the second semester classes.
