I am still debating on whether or not to apply for the Accelerated BSN program, or go the regular BSN route.
I have an undergrad. degree, so it seems like more schools would want me to apply to their A-BSN programs.
However, it just seems like a lot of work and not enough time to actually learn the material. Also, I don't see how you would be able to study that much, since you would also be required to attend clinicals.
So my question is: do you have any regrets? Do you wish that maybe you could have done the LVN route first and get some experience? Or try to apply to the regular BSN programs?
Or are the accelerated BSN programs "just right" in terms of the amount of time given/needed?
If you did well in a reasonably rigorous A&P and microbiology, you've already taken your most difficult courses. I find the accelerated program to be the perfect pace for me.
Just wanted to add to this that I did horrible in A&P! I got C's. However, I still found my way into an ABSN program and my GPA halfway through is 4.0. Your academic successes and failures prior to nursing school do not necessarily dictate your future success in nursing school!
