Re: Wayne State Accelerated Program
I'm currently in the WSU accelerated program, about to finish my second semester. Its a very difficult and intense program, but with good time management skills and motivation its definitely do-able. Orientation is very informative and will be late June/early July. Most of the professors want students to succeed and are very kind/helpful. Clinical placement is not based on where you live, so you may end up with quite a drive but I have not found it to be too much of a hassle. As far as advice I have to give: when you get access to "Blackboard" in August, print out the syllabus for each class and begin the reading before classes start. It's hard to keep on track with all the reading on top of all the other assignments. You don't have to by a stethoscope from the student nurses association at orientation but they try to push them, research one online and buy it on your own it will save you some $$. Find a high efficiency printer that is reliable, you will be printing copious amounts of notes in addition to careplans and papers. Make friends and form a study group, it really helps! I've enjoyed the program so far but can't wait to be done in December. I think that's about it, if you have any specific questions, I'd be happy to answer them. Congrats and Good luck!
