Re: IUPUI (& other) Accelerated BSN (programs) Spring 2010
When I went to visit with them, it did seem like they had a little lengthy list of pre-reqs, but they were really trying to get me on a plan to get them all done. I figure, I can go to Ivy Tech to finish many if not all of them and have it be cheaper, but then get in quicker. If I have to do two or three for another program and have a less of a chance to get it, I guess I'll take spending a little extra cash and the almost guaranteed acceptance.
As far as the quality of the school, I know that this is a new program, but the school always has had a great reputation. I had some friends that went through the traditional program, and they loved it. Of course, they said it was really challenging, but who would want an easy program when you have to go into the craziness of the RN world when you graduate???
I believe that if you apply for the May class, you are generally notified within a few weeks after the deadline? At least, that's what I would guess it is.
It does seem a little expensive, and I have to take some pre-req's, but I figure if I can get in there 6-9 months before I would start another program, I would make that money up (plus more, probably) in my first 6-9 months of employment after I graduate. Seems like a wash, if not a positive gain, after all is considered.
