Accelerated Nursing Programs Info HELP!

Published

Hello Nursing Community! Can anyone help me understand the differences between the following accelerated nursing programs: Penn Nursing, Drexel, Thomas Jefferson? In the middle of doing research but thought some more experienced people could offer unique insights not available online

Specifically:

  1. Job placement after school
  2. Difficulty of the program / attrition rates
  3. Difficulty of obtaining admissions
  4. Program size
  5. Teacher quality
  6. Cost

Also, from an admissions perspective, what are some of the things I can do to separate myself from the pack aside for just raising my GPA?

Thanks and really appreciate the insights!!!!

Be aware the Philadelphia job market is extremely tight due to yearly flood of new grads. Expect to take ~ 6 months to obtain first position unless apply beyond 5 county Philadelphia area. Best wishes in finding a program that fits you.
