HELP DECIDING ON ABSN PROGRAM

Hi all!

I'm in a bind and need help deciding what to do. So, I have my BA and I'm looking to do an accelerated BSN program I have been accepted into a program that starts fall 19 and is out of state but there's another program that is in the state (1 hr from my house) that is currently accepting applications. Here are the details for both schools.

School 1:
-Accepted (met all prereqs)
-Out of state
-30k tuition
-12 months (August '19- August '20)

School 2:
-Need to apply by Jul 15th
-Missing 2 prereqs ( just now enrolled for summer)
-Need to take the Teas ( would be my first time )
- Around 15k tuition
-Starts Oct '19-December '20
-Highly competitive so not sure I will get in and won't know until late September- early October.

Any advice?

    School 1. You'll be working four months sooner, which will offset the higher tuition (especially when you consider that school 1 requires two prereqs, the TEAS, and application fees). And you could easily end up giving up your acceptance to school 1 and not get into school 2.

    I would tend to agree with cturtle here. The only major reason to shift focus might be if School 1 has a track record for not being a strong program (e.g. their NCLEX pass rates are low or inconsistent, their retention is poor, etc.). I would imagine this is something you had checked out before applying/being accepted but just in case, I figured I would mention it.

    I suggest you choose the 1st school

    It will be secure. You can prepare yourself better if you will know where you will go
