Barnes Accelerated BSN Feedback

Published

I've been accepted into the Barnes Jewish Acceleratd BSN program for 2010 and wondered if anyone had feedback/advice/information they can share. I've read a lot here already -- but much is at least a year old -- and I assume the program has made significant changes, etc., since then.

Thanks in advance!

I too have been seeking info on this topic since being accepted this summer. Not much luck with recent posters.

I start in May and plan on posting (if time permits...) on what it is like so that other people will have at least one opinion to go by. Stay tuned....

Thanks!

Did you have any prereqs to complete -- and if so -- any tips on professors or locations?

Good luck!

I took half of my pre-reqs in a different state, so the only ones I took here in St. Louis were A&P II, Nutrition, and Growth and Development.

I took them through STLCC, A&P and G&D at Forest Park, and Nutrition at Flo Valley.

I very highly recommend the professor I had for A&P. He was an excellent teacher, but he is also a medical doctor so he really knows how the concepts are applied in a clinical setting. I thought he was probably the best teacher I have ever had at a college level.

The teacher I had for G&D class was very, very easy. It's pretty much a guaranteed A.

The teacher I had for For Nutrition I was pretty good, and again the class was easy.

Hope that helps!

I agree with your comments on your A&P teacher, a dedicated and challenging professor, although I understand he is a Dr. of Chiropractic. He has also been a professor of anatomy at Logan College of Chiropractic.

just a friendly reminder.

please do not post names of teachers here on the public board. while you were not posting anything derogatory, it is still against the terms of service of this site. please refer to the following portion of the terms of service.

no potentially libelous information about specific schools, instructors, or health care facilities/entities should be posted in these forums. while it is important to be able to network, everyone should be mindful of the following:

  1. it is a small world - when we narrow it down to a state and throw in some personal info, there is actually a pretty good chance someone may recognize you if you are not careful. your privacy is paramount to us.
  2. while allnurses.com is a wonderful place to vent (without excess personally identifiable details) it is not the place to express why ("x" specific person, place or program) is terrible. gripe away, but since we cannot permit allegations to be made about named entities, your care in not naming them is very much appreciated.
  3. please do not give out personal information about others. do not name names where anyone could identify the person in any facility including your nursing programs.

it is better to discuss things of this nature via the private message system.

thanks,

You guys can IM me if you have any more information. I don't think I can IM yet -- have not posted enough. Thanks, though! Sorry for the trouble.
