   Yup $9 for the full day with a parking permit! I do think it is worth the price tag. Any of the accelerated programs in Boston are extremely expensive because its 1) Boston and 2) one of the biggest centers for medicine! The price tag is intimidating...

   Hmm.. that's hard to say! I don't believe anyone in my cohort lived on campus so I'm not sure what room and board would even cost! I don't have an exact number for you unfortunately. I definitely had loans every semester which stinks but it is what i...

   newRN18 replied to jenvictoria's topic in School Programs

   We had classes 2x/week the first semester only! The other 3 semesters we only had classes on Tuesdays. For instance, in the spring and summer we had 3 classes instead of 4, so we went like 8-11, 11-2, 2-6 or something like that. The last semester we ...

   Simmons takes their accelerated BSN program very seriously and they definitely prepare you for the NCLEX! Very fast paced and time consuming, but all accelerated programs are. I had clinicals at some of the top hospitals in the Boston area too! I wou...

   Hi! So when I did the accelerated program, we never had classes 5x/week. The first semester, my schedule looked like this: Tuesday: med surg for 3 hours, pharmacology for 4 hours Wednesday: lab for 2 or 3 hours (later replaced with a clinical day in ...

   I recently graduated from the accelerated 16-month BSN program at Simmons. I would recommend it!

   newRN18 replied to jenvictoria's topic in School Programs

   Hey there, I recently graduated from the accelerated BSN program! It was very fast paced of course, so be prepared for that! The first semester was the toughest for me because I had no prior healthcare experience. After that, you get used to the pace...
