I posted this on another thread: Hey guys, just wanted to offer another perspective. I'm currently doing the accel BSN and will graduate in May. I just accepted an ICU position this week. I love the program, it is tough at times, but it is also doable. I don't study a ton and I'm not a super genius, and I still have a very good gpa. There are people who do this program and work, and there are people who have several children and do just fine. Im not sure what our dropout rate was, but it's not like people flunk out out of no where constantly. Usually people know in the first or second semester whether or not they can handle the pace. I'm very happy with my choice. Bellarmine has a great reputation in the area, and I feel very prepared to enter the nursing field. I'm up for any questions!
