Austin Peay nursing or a better school?

I cant speak for other SON in the area but I can tell you a it about APSU. I am currently in my 3rd semester in the SON. I believe this fall semester there is a new no fail policy for us so if you fail 1 class your gone, prior to this you could fail 1 class but if you failed 2 you were out. It seems to be a demanding program & I've sent many nights up till midnight or close to it working on clinical paperwork. I have only run into 1 professor that I wasn't very wild about & that was more in the lecture aspect than as a clinical instructor. Most of the professors are willing to help you but you have to be willing to initiate it. They have a nice simulation lab with the SIM's dummies with role playing scenarios about pts. May be a plus to you depending on how you feel about that. There aren't alot of nursing tutors past yout first semester but I think that's because it takes so much time & work that as students go through they have less time to tutor. I think that if I can just survive the next 1.5 years that it will all be worth it but the program definitely tests your resolve & your study skills.
