Bellarmine Accelerated BSN?

[goodguy123]

Hello,

I am accepted into Bellarmines Accelerated Nursing Program, its a 12 month program, kinda expensive. Im also accepted into methodist college of nursing's 18 month program in peoria. I need some advice.

How are the professors at Bellarmine or MCON?

How many students that start classes actually graduate?

Does it require HESI for graduation and how many times can you take it?

any other info would be greatly helpful

Thanks

I am accepted into Bellarmine's Accel program as well. It is SUPER expensive! I am waiting to hear back from U of L and won't know if I get into their accel program until after Bellarmine's begins! I'm not really sure what I should do I would LOVE to start nursing school this year, and U of L is half the cost, but it's also 5x harder to get into....

I graduated from The Bellarmine Acel program in May of '08. It was pricey but got me in and out in 12mo. You can get two federal loans for $10,500 each, I took them both and that paid for most of 2 semesters I had to add $1,500 or so to each, I now Pay $250 a month for those two loans to give you an idea. My parents paid for my 3rd semester, I think they felt bad when I was about to take out a private loan. I am from the West coast and moved to Louisville with $12,000, so I budegeted $1000 a month for life expenses and lived off that. Bellermine has some great instructors, I feel like I got a pretty good education. They seperate out into 3 groups of about 30 people to start, I think they lost about 15people or so along the way, most in the first semester. You get super close with your group of people, I have wonderful friendships that will last forever. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi

I was recently accepted into Bellarmine nursing accelerated program. I am waiting to hear back from Graduate entry programs for FNP but should I not get in I will take the 12 month BSN route. I would be interested to hear more about your experience and your thoughts both positive and negative about the program. Thank you!!

Hi Rachix. I will be entering Bellarmine's Accelerated BSN Program starting this May 2011. I was wondering if you could offer any advice. I am also from the west coast and will be moving to Louisville. If you can (because I don't know how) send me a private message or perhaps, do you have an email? I really appreciate any advice. I'm excited to start the program. Thanks so much!!
