Question about UALR

Published

The economy is making me rethink my options. I was planning to go to UAMS starting this summer (In fact, I've already applied), but now I'm thinking about trying to get in the work force as soon as possible. I was looking at UALR's accelerated program and I wondered if anyone here has gone through that. It would get me finished one semester sooner. I'm also having a hard time comparing costs but it appears that UALR is a little cheaper than UAMS.

Does anyone have any info about the acclerated traditional option at UALR? Do you think you get enough experience?

Thanks!

For those that want a BSN, why not go to a 2year program and then finish up the BSN online? That way you can work as an RN while getting your BSN. The online BSN program at most schools don't require clinicals. Some don't even make you take exams, just quizzes.

i already have a BS and MS, so BSN at UAMS is 2 years.. RN at UALR at the fastest is ~16 months. not sure the 8 months difference is worth having to do another 1 year of online work for a bsn. still trying to decide that though!

I am starting the UALR ASN program May 2010. If anyone else is starting, please email me at: ag.wade (at) gmail (dot) com

I'd like to start connecting with some students to make this journey through nursing school interesting!

Thanks!
