If you read through these boards some more, you'll find a ton of info on the FACT program. I'm a FACT grad and will agree with some of what you've read online. After reading the nightmares people experienced with the financial aide office, I paid as ...
Yup, sad isn't it? When I was comparing schools, I found that my local state university charged $27,000 for tuition for their one year BSN program, but was in one of the most expensive areas of the country and would likely have required me to purchas...

Pro: You're in and out in one year. Con: You have to cram an extraordinary amount of info into your brain in one year. That's seriously all I can think of just now, but tomorrow's my last day of the FACT program. My brain is exhausted.

Does anyone know the nurse recruiter's name and/or email? If so, would you mind PMing it to me? Thank you! CHOP is my first choice, but I haven't heard anything yet.
