Anybody worried what will happen with the program if classes are still online from COVID come Fall?

I am I think leaning toward the 16 month route just to take a little stress off my plate, since I don’t come from a science/healthcare background. They pretty much just said yes It is fast paced and hard, but if you’re willing to give up a social life, it’s doable. One did say that several students struggled meeting the HESI benchmarks and had to decelerate to the 16 month plan. He also said (this I think was the year of the major HESI controversy) that he had a friend who didn’t pass the final HESI, and didn’t get his diploma until he was allowed to retake it a few months later.

That’s awesome that you’ve spoken with some people. I found some 2018 cohort students that I’ve messaged with some. Are you planning on the 12 or 16 month route?

I was accepted as well. I think I’m going! Haven’t 100% decided yet though. Do you know Pittsburgh well? I’m from the west coast so I’m really unfamiliar!

Hey! I very recently applied to Duquesne. Waiting for all my transcripts to be mailed and what not. Have you found many negatives about Duquesne? I have been so immersed in researching ABSN programs , but there are so many out there it’s wild!
