I graduated last year from an online accelerated BSN program and although it was very intense, I really liked it. We had more clinical hours than traditional programs and as a new grad I felt as comfortable as I think any new grad does. Preceptors actually told me after we had worked together that they were a little nervous about how I would be as they knew little of these types of programs, but that they were impressed. At least for my program I think it attracts an older, more serious student (in general). Alot was expected of us. Of course it all depends on your approach to learning also. I was a little nervous that i wouldn't be prepared also and took advantage of every opportunity to learn, try new things, and push myself in clinicals-which the program encouraged. Also, because of the type of program it was we always had one on one preceptorships. I think this was very beneficial and allowed us more opportunity to learn. I could be wrong, but the students i see who have one instructor on the floor for 6-8 students seem to do alot of waiting around or running around looking for that one instructor. Hope this helps!
