I was accepted. But I think I am going to stick with [h=3]Gwynedd Mercy University instead of Aria.[/h]

I like how at Aria you can fill your classes in(if you want to take 4 classes at a time)Gwynedd you have to take them when the classes are(in other words you can't speed up your time their) At Aria you get your BSN with Penn State with Aria's Pathways Program with PSU. However, I am really torn as to which school to choose. I got accepted to Aria today. But I do plan on getting my NP/masters in Nursing. I am not sure if PSU has locations to follow my education goal. Also, I would like another year to get more prerequisites out of the way.I hear a lot of people love Aria on this site.I don't hear much about Gwynedd. Where do you take Clinical at Gwynedd? I saw they have potential clinicals at Doyestown Hospital which is right near me. Can you take clinicals where you want based on the list? Sorry for all the questions I just am really trying to figure out witch school I should choose. Thank you so much for your input!

I am a single mom with three small children. I have all my prerequisites complete. I applied for summer 2016, I am not sure when I will hear from them. I did also apply to Aria Nursing School they have a Bridge Program where you can get your BSN with Penn State. I got accepted to Aria, just waiting to see where I should go.

did you hear anything about Dixon merging with jefferson? I want to apply for the Jefferson BSN but I don't want to have to travel to philly. I wish Dixon would merge their program with Jefferson instead of Penn State

If you go to Jefferson Nursing and print out the nursing brouchure.....It states that they have a "Dual Enrollment" with Dixion where you can earn your RN-BSN in as little as 2 semesters. That is why I am really interested in Dixon because having a degree from Jefferson is better than Penn State. Plus, I don't think Aria has scholarships which kinda stinks. Abington is a longer drive for me, but they are all about the same distances away.

I have applied to Aria and Gwynedd mercy; I am waiting to apply to Dixion in January. I know Dixon merged with Jefferson so you can get your BSN from Jefferson which would be awesome. Aria,you get your BSN with Penn State. although,you are required to take a lot of extra elective, which I don't really feel like taking or paying for. I do like that Aria lets you take classes out of sequence so you can graduate sooner(if you have already taken A and P I and II, Micro,etc) Gwynedd does not. Your there for 2 1/2 years no matter if you have prerequisites. Gwynedd is more expensive even with the scholarship. Aria and Dixon, from what I understand, are about the same price wise.......So my question is......What college is better when going for your BSN? Which college is enjoyable vs. torture?

I am taking my Teas Test this Friday! I hear great things about Aria. I am also applying to Dixion School of Nursing in Abington. They are affiliated with Jefferson so if you go their you can get a degree from Jefferson. Just like if you get your BSN at Aria it would be from Penn State.
