Any easier nursing programs in PA or NJ? Keyword easier relative to other programs

Published

Not saying nursing programs are easy, but looking for a program that is *easier* than other programs. I have a disability that may slow me down. However, I have many people tell me at the chiropractic office I work at that I will be a great nurse and my patients are really happy with my service.

Also not looking for a nursing program that is easy to get into, but addressing the actual program itself.

So any?

Most are rigorous and highly competitive many reject students with less than 3.9 GPA

If you have a documented learning disability you can self identify and get accommodations

Are you looking for a school that has lower standards, or a school that will accommodate your disability? Do you want to be an LPN or RN? There is an LPN school in Willow Street PA that will work with you. They do accommodate disabilities and they allow students to repeat trimesters if necessary. Take a look at Lancaster County School of Technology.

The standards for nursing schools are set and enforced by the state BON. You're not likely to find a school that is significantly "easier" than any other, whether you mean academically easier or physically less demanding.

However, schools are required by state and federal education law to make accommodations for students with disabilities. I encourage you to talk to folks at schools you're interested in, and see what they have to say about whatever your situation is.

Best wishes!

I would not want to go to an "easy" school because I would be suspect at the quality of my education.
