Samuel Merritt Accelerated BSN Program - is it doable?

Is this program doable? I am looking into it for next year - just how much time and stress are we talking?

I have a baby who will be 18 months at the start of the program and a husband who will be home full-time. I have support from my parents as well.

I am a good student (very) and don't mind throwing myself into my studies for a year. However, I would like to spend some time with my baby over that year.

Can anyone who has been through the program advise me as to just how much "intensity" we're talking?

Also, do they try to weed students out? Or are they supportive and encouraging (provided you work hard, obviously). If you have already attended this program, how many people started in your year and how many finished it?

Thanks for the advice!

Hi Rianna1,

Im going to apply to SM's ABSN program and am wondering how difficult it is to get in. I slacked off my two years here at UCSB but my last 90 units are above a 3.0. But my overall g.p.a here at UCSB is a 2.5 :(( I was wondering what you think. I have all the pre reqs taken care of and above their minimum g.p.a requirement but Im very worried about my overall g.p.a. Your advice will be very helpful and I really want to get into any NS at this point. Thank so much for your time
