I got into Hawaii Pacific University's Nursing program, Mills College (with Samuel Merritt University) BSN program, and Mount Saint Mary's College ADN program for Fall 2010 as a transfer student. Now it's just about deciding which I want to go with, so I thought I'd shoot it out a post for some help.

I've heard good and bad things about each program. The first two (HPU and Mills) should take me approximately 3-4 years to complete (with all my transfer credits) and the Mount's program will take 2 years. The tuition is definitely a factor (approx. $30K vs. $100K+) as is the time commitment. After being in college for 2.5 years already, I'm not looking forward to another 3+ years of not being able to get out into the workforce. I'm interested in getting my Nurse Practitioner's license, so I'm aware of the obvious benefit of the BSN program. However, I know that the Mount has a ADN-MSN program, as well as an RN-BSN program.

SO... Has anyone gone to the programs above and have any input? Please help!
