I'm not sure which BSN program I want to go in...
I've been accepted to one that is a hour away from my house but has a very good reputation. It's 5 semesters long though (2.5 years).
On the other hand, there is another BSN program about 20 min away from my house and can be completed in 17 consecutive months. However, their reputation isn't as good (not bad but not like the other).
I really want to get done faster and start working. Any advice on which one I should go to? I'll finish about 6 months faster with the one closer to my house. I know it's just 6 months but eeekk!!

I say the one closest to your house. Less money spent in gas, less time traveling more studying (you will start counting down mins you could be studying). 2nd advantage is that it is a quicker program. A what kind of rep does the school have? No one huring the grads?

Go to your states BON and look at NCLEX pass rates. That says a lot about the school.

Look at NCLEX pass rates, try to talk to students there, and go for a visit.
Thanks! Totally didn't think to do that.
