That doesn't change the fact that accelerated nursing programs are a bad idea with excessively high attrition rates. The new list is factually incorrect on at least one school. UTHSC in Houston does not have an accelerated nursing program.

If you bothered to look at the list I posted, it is accurate as of Fall 2012. I am providing information to the OP that can aid a search instead of chastising him or her over his or her questions. The OP will still need to research admissions requirements and which programs are online if he/she is interested in distance programs, so he/she will find out which programs still exist.

Assuming that your stat is accurate, there is a reason why half of accelerated nursing students are able to complete while half aren't. These could be differences in personality/intelligence, finances, family situations, quality of the program, etc. It is up to the individual to determine whether or not he or she is a good fit for a certain type of program. Additionally, it would be of more use to research the graduation rates of individual programs since the structure and quality of these programs can vary widely. Online programs often have terrible graduation rates, but it hasn't stopped anyone here from looking into them including yourself. There are certain schools one should avoid, but it doesn't mean you should throw the baby out with the bath water. Also, considering that you need a bachelor's that covers most of the non-nursing requirements and prerequisites to get into these accelerated BSN programs, is spending a year or two on just the nursing portion really that accelerated?
