Accelerated BSN programs

[Erin Nicholson]

I am in California currently looking at several accelerated (12-18 month) BSN programs for people with a prior bachelor's degree. Which programs have the best reputation/retention rates? A few of the schools I am looking at are George Washington U, Thomas Jefferson U, Northeastern U, San Francisco State, Cal State LA, U of North Florida, U of Miami, U of New England, Milwaukee School of Engineering, Ashland U, Ursuline, U of St. Mary, Trinity College (Rock Island, IL), and U of the incarnate Word. I know these are all over the U.S., but I'd love to hear any perspectives on or experiences with any of these programs, negative or positive. I'm also open to recommendations for programs to research. Thank you!
