it really depends on the type of person you are. I luckily already went through a similiar program as an LPN. You are on your own. don't expect any of the professors to hand out anything. They will fail you on .01 of a point. I already knew this going in. Positives though, its an accredited, well known university and its quick. if you can keep up with the school work, then you will be awarded a BSN.

Disorganized.

they do use a set text book. I have honestly just downloaded the PDF versions because it is easier for me to search through the book using control find. But during orientation, you have get an opportunity to purchase all of the books for the first semester. It is very expensive. Some professors recycle questions from ATI but I have not seen ATI questions used a ton. The professors help you to prepare for the exams. They provide guides that have content you can be questioned on. Please keep in mind, this program is fairly new. There is a lot of unprepared teachers. For example, there are classes that also contain "labs" where you get to do some hands on practice. Those lab professors have no idea when exams are being given, let alone, what the content of those exams are. So you're being taught by highly educated professionals, who work in the field, but they are teaching you based on their personal knowledge; not necessarily what they know will be on the following exam. The argument to this, though, is you must know "ALL" material, not just what you may be tested on in the program. It can be frustrating when each lab professor is assigning multiple assignments that have due dates but you are also trying to study at the same time; simply because the professors did not know we were also preparing for an exam.

testing is scheduled ahead of time (its subject to change). Tests are usually once a week. You sit in a room with proctors, your own laptop that is handed to you once you enter the room, and assigned seating. Once done, you hand in the laptop and exit the room. It usually takes a week to get the test results. Right now, though, because of COVID we have been using an app on our personal home computers. The app records you while you sit and take the exam. Again, all tests are scheduled in advance and you have a window to take it. Any other questions?

Its tough. I think all nursing schools are tough though. The school is unorganized. But if you stay in your lane, self study (youre on your own in the hybrid program), and keep up, you should be fine. We had a lot of peopke drop out the first month because of how overwhelming it is.

Are you in the tradition 24 month or hybrid?
