Accelerated Nursing Programs

*TK8 · Feb 13, 2010

I am currently in an accelerated program. I would say brush up on your A&P, get the booklist in advance if at all possible and start the reading assignments before the first day of class. It's my 3rd week and I have a paper and 3 exams next week. I'm not sure how busy your program will be, but just be prepared to be very very busy. Also keep on top of your reading and try to get ahead if possible, it will say you a lot of stress if you feel like you're on top of things. Also enjoy yourself and get to meet new people. I love my classmates since they come from all different walks of life. It's an interesting ride.

I agree with gnurse. Expect to do SOMETHING every single day. You can't be lax because it's so fast you'll be buried before you know it. I'm in a program that's on the quarter system which means we have 10 weeks only to cover all our material. It's super fast, but I'm enjoying it. It's only been 6 weeks and I can't believe how much I've learned already!!
