Accelerated Nursing Program????

I recently applied to the Generic Nursing program at the university I attend. Well, they called me and said that since my GPA was good, the dean of the program wanted me to try the accelerated nursing program...with that, I'll have my BSN in 18 months. It's only offered to people that already have a bachelors degree, but they wanted me to "try" it and see how it goes. If it goes good for me and several other students they selected, they'll start giving that option to all students. Does anyone know the success rate of rns that graduated from the accelerated program? My BIGGEST concern is that it will go so quickly that I won't take in everything compared to if I did the generic program...Any thoughts? I appreciate any advice!!!! :nurse:

The only negative I see from that is having general ed courses while trying to do NS. Our direct entry RN accelerated program (for ADN) requires all prerequs up front.

Will your prereqs be closed to complete by the time you start NS?? Otherwise I would think twice. But it can be done...just depends on your current situation (working/children/etc). Its a lot of coursework to put together.

There are some existing threads here about people's experiences with accelerated BSN programs, that you may want to find (probably could find them with the "search" button in the upper right corner of the page) and review. Here is one that I know of right offhand (since I've participated in it):
