Have you heard anything about the program? Is it reputable in the area?
No responses doesn't bode well....

I applied and was accepted to Misericordia's 2nd degree BSN program. I've only heard very good things about the program and would have accepted their offer of admission if not for the cost.

I am in their full time traditional nursing program. I'm not that far along and everything I heard has been positive. The little that I have seen has been great. I am an adult student and was a little concerned taking the traditional route but they have been absolutely fantastic. I recommend it. Let me know if you have any questions.
I have heard it's quite pricey. Are you from PA? It seems like the school is kind of in the middle of nowhere
The 2nd degree program is also a lot longer than most (2 years) which I'm not thrilled about
Glad to hear it! What is housing like in the area? Are there many apartment options close to the school?
What would you say is the average class size?

I am from PA, another small town in the middle of nowhere haha.
Housing can be a little limited around the University. (unless you dorm on campus) If you get an apartment in the towns near the University things open up quite a bit. They can be reasonable. Let me know if you need anything, good luck. I almost forgot, classes so far have been pretty small. I think the largest class I have is about 35 students.
So do most students live in the dorms then? I did a search for apartments in Dallas and only saw one place??? Do people live in Wilkes-Barre and commute? Or is there a closer "large" town
Appreciate the info!

Hey, I am from the area. Wilkes-Barre would be your best bet to find affordable housing. Any questions, just let me know.

There are lots of students who commute. Wilkes-Barre area is close and can be reasonable. Check Wilkes-Barre, Plains, Kingston. I live in Scranton so it is a decent drive for me. (35 min) But I have a house, wife, kids. Hope this helps. I really like the school and the area. Any other questions let me know.

Does anyone know how competitive the program is? Also, does the faculty seem to be concerned with how the students do?
