guys, i just graduated from the spring class this year. it is true that the program is hard. tho, it is expected, it's the same as any other accelerated nursing program. i'm not sure that if they told you in orientation that you will no life for a year. they r not kidding, if you want to survive this program u have to study 24/7, sleep w/ ur books if that helps. along the way we lost alot classmates i can tell u that at the end it's all worth it. after i passed my HESI in april, and i took a month off. i just took my board on thursday, and passed w/o study much for it. u all can do it, u just have to work for it
