Many of you have been so helpful on my DD#1 quest of AA/AS completion to get accepted into a direct nursing placement into a B&M school. Thank you! Now I would like to ask the community where they would choose, given our options presented. All schools would confir a BSN.
#1 Private school where I just found out last week will not take any classes in transfer, as they consider themselves a tier 1 school, and surely DD#1 would want to make herself competitive and move with the cohort in every class together.
#2 Private school that does all clinicals at Mayo Clinic for 1 year. Will take 4 years to graduate. Guaranteed placement in program if meets criteria. Accepts 60 and cuts to 30 students by Sophmore admittance to program. Good scholarship. OK fin. aid. Hospital doesn't have specialty.
#3 Private school, really wants DD#1, 3 years to graduate, and will do Independant Study in specialty field of choice at Hospital with Nurse and Foundation specializing in said specialty. Great scholarships and Financial aid pkg, and ends up less than State school.
#4 Private school, great medical clinic opportunities starting day 1, great scholarships and aid. Nursing scholarship and direct placement into nursing. Great medical missions opportunities. Ends up less than state school. 3 years to graduate.
#5 private school. Direct entry 15 months to graduate. Accelerated program year round. Only school not yet accepted to, but they have yet to announce their class. Program starts in Jan. least expensive school, but DD is just turning 18 this spring so she has time to mature in school.
Which would you pick and why?
