BADNAP 2014

Does anyone have any feedback on the BADNAP program at OCCC beginning in June 2014?

Let me also add that we started the program with 75 students. Currently we have 45 students left in the program. I anticipate that we will graduate with 40-45 students.. It is a rough program, but if you keep your nose the grindstone, you'll finish it!

The million dollar question, then, is would you, knowing the strengths and shortcomings of the BADNAP program, do it again, or would you, in retrospect, have enrolled in a traditional program instead?

Just got confirmation from the director that acceptances will be sent out this week. Good luck everyone!

In all honesty, if I knew all this from the beginning and I had the choice between a traditional program and the accelerated program, I would still do the accelerated program. Yes, it is more stressful, but it is very rewarding. In terms of maintaining a GPA that is good enough to remain competitive for future platforms (CRNA or NP school), you might want to consider the traditional program. I have done well so far making two A's and and a B so far, and hope to make another A in the final semester. However, I will say that BADNAP is where typical "A" students come to die. I think the last time I studied this hard was in Biochemistry and Neurobiology of Disease (4000 AND 5000 level courses). It's a rush.. haha. I can say that finishing so quickly is definitely a bonus.. :) But it comes with it's own downfalls and risks being that you are doing the whole damn 24 month program in 9 months.. :unsure:

Thanks for the input lordlizzy. Did you work any during the program? How common do you think it was overall for students to work during?

This is the verbatim e-mail from the director...

"It is my understanding that the BADNAP acceptance letters are coming out this week."
