Nursing Info Meet Today

[TexasRosiee90]

Hey yall, pre nursing student here, still weighing my options as far as which school Id like to go to for my ADN. Went to my first choice today, and had done a bit of research on it by looking at the schools website and speaking to an advisor and am kind of at a loss for words. Went to their Nursing program info session tonight and this program is two evening a week for a couple hours with a 2 hour clinical once a week? And an occasional Saturday clinical. I never knew they offered that. Anyway, I guess what I'm wondering is can that much info be crammed into two days a week? I thought it would be a legit 2 year program. I'm still learning about al of this so any suggestions or feedback would help. Going to look into my next options this weekend!

I had checked the TxBON website to see if this school was accredited and it has full board approval but then I noticed it said with warning. I asked several people who have gone through nursing school what that all meant and if it was bad or didn't Matter in the long run. Half told me to run, the other half told me it didn't matter. So I decided to go to the info session anyway. Needless today, I will be going to my other options that have FULL approval with no warnings. Lol

Run. Especially if they aren't nationally accredited

Warning matters. It means the BON checked their stuff and found a significant deficiency. It means they have to correct something or some things before the BON comes back or there will be some consequences to the school.

Thanks all for your feedback! It helps so much! I'm going on Monday to check out another school.

I attend a well regarded community college ADN program. We only have school 3 days per week. 2x8 hr clinical days plus 5 hrs of lecture on a different day. Plus "clinical prep time"

It's still a full time program because of all of the outside studying time required.
