i just got accepted into WSU's accelerated cd2 program. waiting to hear back from oakland as well. ive searched the forums and could not dredge up lots of information from current or past students on wayne's program. ive heard good things about oakland. just trying to get some opinions and feedback. the wayne program begins this fall and ends next fall, while the oakland cohort i would be accepted into begins next spring and would end in the winter. so oakland's program would have me in school for one more full semester. are all things equal? is oakland that much better where it would be worth my while to pick them eventhough i'll be in school longer calendar wise? i would appreciate any feedback from people with experience.

basic run down of my options:

1. go to wayne state this fall 2013 and finish fall 2014, then hunt for job

2. do oakland's program which begins next spring/summer 2014 and ends winter 2015 (i could work longer before the start of the program, but then im in school an extra semester on the calendar so thats a few months im not looking for a nursing job)

there is not a substantial monetary difference to warrant one program over the other either

thanks
