I recently started with an Associate Degree Nursing Program in South Florida with a Career College and it is their first RN program. It is the most accelerated program that I have ever heard of or seen. The students start out with Gen. Eds for 3 months and Nursing is about 15 months, but they do not complete the Gen. Eds before beginning the Nursing curriculum; and this is a major problem for all of them. I feel this is an injustice, because they literally do not have the time to really retain and comprehend very effectively the material being presented. The only thing that you can hold on to, in hopes for these students is that we will be giving them a very comprehensive review for their State Boards of Nursing (NCLEX) exam prior to graduation; and we pray that it will be enough to help them successfully pass.
