Hi everyone! I recently graduated with my bachelors in healthcare administration. I have recently decided to also pursue a nursing degree.
With that being said, I am struggling with deciding between two different accelerated programs which are different in a few ways which don't allow me to apply to both at one time. Basically without going into detail, I have to decide between applying to one or the other.
The first school I've been looking at (and have heard great things about) is Samuel Merritt's accelerated program. They have more extensive pre req's considering I would still have to take 7 more classes before applying in summer of 2019. They also accept online classes which is somewhat helpful for my schedule. I'm also wondering about the cost. I've seen a few calculations online that say it's around $82,000 which sounds crazy! But I also think I have a better chance of getting accepted (because it is private) and I would be finished with nursing school sooner.
What is your guys' advice or experience in regards to samuel merritt's accelerated program, costs, intensity, etc. Thank you in advance!
