La Salle ACHIEVE questions

U.S.A. Pennsylvania

Published

Hi guys, currently I'm deciding between accepting offers from La Salle's nursing ACHIEVE program (night classes) and 's ACE program. Both have their pros and cons for me, so I just thought I'd ask more about the Achieve program since there are tons of threads about ACE, not so many for Achieve. :)

Questions:

1. La Salle classes are held twice a week in the evenings, right? I notice it says that Saturdays are clinical days. Is it EVERY Saturday or only some Saturdays?

2. What is the average age of a student in this program? I'm 23, so I'm probably going to be on the young side if I do attend. :) I'm just curious.

3. Are you able to make connections through your clinical experiences to get jobs after you graduate? I've heard the market's tough in this area!

4. What is the yearly cost of the program? I think La Salle's site said something about $27k, but I wasn't sure if that was per year or the entire program.

Much thanks in advance. :heartbeat

still no response...I want to know so badly :(

Got my letter today. I was accepted! So relieved. Hope everyone gets their letter with the same good news!

Thats great. I checked my mail- still no word yet. Anyone know their nursing departments contact number?

Congrats cbreslin! I got my acceptance letter this morning!!! @phillygrl, I'm not sure of a contact number, but it appears your letter should be arriving any day now!

Got my letter on friday...very unexpected...yayyy!

I received my acceptance today too! :)

Congrats everyone! I guess we will all get to meet each other in the fall when we start :)

It's funny because I still haven't taken the NLN (I was supposed to, but our test date was unexpectedly cancelled) and I haven't finished one pre-req course, but I'm quite pleased and surprised.

How many uniforms are you guys ordering? Just one set?

I think the form said we are required to get 2 shirts, 2 pants, 1 coat and 1 pin. I think it comes out to about 140.00 for it all..

Oh ok, I figured one set wasn't enough!

Should we set up a facebook group for fall 2011 ACHIEVErs? I know that the ACE cadre has a FB group too.

@Itsaroad, congrats as well! I think the facebook group is a good idea :-)
