Bellarmine Accelerated BSN?

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!!

Hey all, I am due to start the nursing program this May but I need a study buddy for my Microbiology class. I'm dying over here!!. Can anybody recommend or help me out???
