Has anyone applied to Creighton for their fall accelerated BSN program. I was accepted. It was one of 5 schools that I have applied to . Currently I am in California and want to see the school..Anyone have any comments input? :)

Specializes in Critical Care.

Creighton has a decent program, just keep in mind that the accelerated program is a year so its going to be intense. Expensive also

Does Creighton accept CLEP exam in lieu of real classes, to the extent that clep exam are available?

I came from California for the accelerated program at Creighton. I enjoyed the experience very much. The instructors were very good and cared about the students.

I would not recommend anyone taking the scholarship through CUMC. Both institutions may have Creighton in the name, but the hospital is owned by Tenet and has a very different culture when compared to the university.

The amount of loans can be a lot, but if you are free to move after graduation to take advantage of places that have more new grad openings you will find a way to manage. Your first couple years out are all about getting good hospital experience. You may have to have a bit of a mindset that the sacrifice will pay off in the end. The real freedom to choose jobs doesn't really happen until you have 2-3 years experience as an RN. Just something to keep in mind. ;)

regarding short waiting list for accelerated at Creighton:

in my class they went through the alternate list and more: we had one person who found out 1 month prior, 1 person found out 2 weeks prior, 1 person that found out 5 days prior, and maybe one who got there the day it started? crazy... but stuff happens and people who have accepted to multiple programs sometimes drop out at the very last moment!

Do they have a gpa cutoff?
