Need advice on Accelerated vs Traditional Program

Nursing Students General Students

Published

I graduated from Texas Tech University in '16 with a bachelor of arts. I've finished most of my pre-reqs to apply to nursing school. I've been admitted to Univ. of TX at Arlington as a pre-nursing student. I really want to be admitted into their accelerated online program so I can work, attend school plus it's a 15 mon. program. Can anyone tell me which would be a better choice, AO or a traditional program? Will I struggle since I don't have a science related degree? Will the AO program be too fast for me?

Specializes in Oncology, OCN.

I'm in an accelerated program right now. We won't have a capstone/externship but we do a preceptorship during the summer. Assigned a nurse and work their shifts with them for x number of weeks (number of weeks escapes me right now). We're told they'll take our interests into consideration when matching us with our preceptor but really it's all dependent on the nurses they get who agree to take on a student I think.
