To all RN students, or those who work in RN schools, what does this mean?

Question

I was looking for schools to apply for the nursing program, and some colleges mention something about having an "accelerated fast track", I was just wondering what does it mean, and if it is something that I should consider when applying to those school. Than you for your answers.

Answer 1

They have "fast track learning", "accelerated graduation" in many different fields. Frequently it is for people who already work in the field, or for people who have experience. The other possibility is for people who have above average intelligence and will have nothing else to do but study. At any rate, it means faster graduation, accelerated learning. Much of the curriculum will be skimmed because they assume you learn VERY rapidly or you have prior knowledge.

Answer 2

accelerated fast track means that the program will go a little faster than normal and usually will result in being on the quarter scale which may not work for some people. If you're looking to pass your classes get into a program with a semester scale so you're not feeling stressed. Most programs now require potential students to come into the program with their CNA certification and CPR when you get to the clinical part of the program. Also if you can't afford to take off the two years for your associates break it down by getting your LPN credentials and then enter a bridge program to get RN standing.
