Hello! I just found out that I got accepted for the Summer 2014 program at CSU-P. I am not sure if I will go there or not...I would be from out of state so I'm trying to find out as much as possible before deciding. smsoftballgirl - I'd love to hear about your experience with the program. How are the instructors? Does the program seem well-organized? Are the clinical opportunities good? Also, I think you're still in school, but I'd like to know more about career prospects. How is CSU-P regarded in Colorado? Is it easy for grads to get jobs? Thanks for sharing!

Hi all, I just found out that I have been accepted to USM's Accelerated BSN program and I am hoping to find out more about the program to decide if that's definitely where I want to go! If you are in the program now, or if you went there, would you mind sharing a little about the program? Specifically, I'm interested in knowing: -How large is the accelerated class? -What is retention like? (do most people who start end up graduating?) -Is it overall a supportive environment? -Do you get enough clinical experience? What is the quality of clinical experience like? -Is the program well-respected in the area? -I have heard that some schools won't allow you to sit for the NCLEX if they don't think they are going to pass. Is this true? If so, does USM do this? I think I will do fine in school and am hoping it won't be a problem, but it seems like something I should be aware of. -finally...I am from California and have lived in Georgia for the past 5 years...am I going to freeze to death in Maine? :) And of course...anything else pertinent that I should consider. Thanks so much for your insights!
