Accelerated Programs

[Ang246]

I am interested in going back to school to be a nurse! I have an bachelors and a MBA - neither of which is related to nursing/science. I have been looking at the accelerated nursing programs at Mid-America Nazarene College and UMKC. Does anyone have experience with either of these programs? Would I be able to work at all during these accelerated programs? I know the workload/study is heavy, but around how much do you think I would study?

Thank you!!

It's typically difficult to maintain employment during accelerated programs, but some people manage to do it.

In my accelerated 12 month RN program between studying, assignments, clinicals, and class I spent on average over 60 hours per week on school. I quit both my jobs just prior to beginning the program.
