Doubledee 79 Posts Specializes in LTC, Rehab, Hospice and Telemetry. Has 14 years experience. Jan 3, 2006 Congratulations on your acceptance. HACC is an excellent program. They are very tough and demanding. If you make it through, you should be a good nurse.Unfortunately, the "two year" Associate's Degree takes no less than three years to complete. If money and time are not a factor, I always recomend considering a BSN program and getting done in four. After all, you would probably have to add two more years if you choose to pursue the BSN.Then again, reality is what we have to face. HACC graduates take a back seat to no one. I don't have exact statistics but I believe most of the RNs in the Harrisburg area ARE HACC grads.Go for it!
PANurse7 7 Posts May 1, 2008 HACC RN program is a very difficult program and I would not recommend it because it's not fair as well. I have seen a lot of good friends get kicked out for stupid things. Ask around Harrisburg and you will get the picture.
