Coming to PA

[sjc in pa]

Hello out there!

I'm just logging in for the first time, so all of this is pretty new to me. I'm a prospective nursing student who wants info on schools in PA with an ACE program....I've already looked at Drexel, and that is way too expensive.. Anyone have any advice?

Thanks,

sjc

Thanks for sending me the info....Unfortunetly, we plan on living in the Lehigh Valley area so Philly would be too far a commute for me. Doesn't seem like there are too many schools outside of Philly that offer the accelerated programs. I also have to be pretty selective because I have two small children at home. :)

Thanks Again,
