I've been planning on doing the Accelerated BSN program for a while now, but sometimes "life happens."I'm starting my pre-reqs in June, and plan to apply for the May 2009 class. I currently work at the Highland Hospital ICU as a secretary, and was previously working the Highland E.D. as a tech. I've also been an EMT in the area for about 7 years, and did my undergrad degree at the University of Rochester. (I'm hoping these things help out when I apply).
