Barry or Nova?

hi all,

i've recently been accepted to both barry university and nova southeastern university entry level nursing programs. i'm having a difficult time with my decision on which to choose and i have very limited time (about a week). both have pros and cons. i'm currently a baptist health south florida employee and i plan on applying for the baptist scholarship which pays for some or all of tuition contingent on a 3 year commitment to baptist. for nova, tuition is paid in full by the scholarship. for barry, $20,000 is paid and $30,000 i'd be responsible for. i know what you're thinking.... it's a no-brainer right? wrong. barry is only 15 months and i would receive a bsn. nova is 27 months a full year longer. this means one more year of taking out loans for living expenses, one more year of driving back and forth to classes, one more year or not earning an rn's salary.... if anyone has any kind of advice to give i'd love to hear it! barry?:uhoh21:nova?

thanks!

    are they both bsn programs? check their nclex pass rates, maybe go and ask in the florida (?) forum for people's opinions on the schools first. don't stress about the one year thing unless you find out they are the same all things considered. what you don't want to do is pass up the chance to go to a really good school because you think the other one will take less time. you have a loooonnnngggg career ahead of you and that one year will mean nothing...or everything.

    Moved to Florida Nursing Programs Forum, as better suited to this sort of inquiry :)

    Both are BSN programs and I already have a BS in Biology.
