I am currently deciding if I would like to attend Rasmussen. I first considered the traditional route at a local CC or SC, but after reading how long people have to wait to even get in the program I'm thinking Rasmussen could work if it's worth the extra money. I'm looking at a year and half to complete by prerequisites, atleast a year on the waiting list, and then two years to complete the nursing program. So 5 years versus a year and a half to have my RN license. I am located in Tampa, looking for the best campus in the area.
