    Hey everyone! So my accelerated BSN program begins in May of this year and ends in December of next year. We are recommended to work no more than 20 hours per week for the duration of the program,...

    Nice! I got accepted to the cheapest accelerated BSN program in my area which is around 21K. All of the others are almost double that price. It's a bit ridiculous
