"Accelerated programs were developed about 35 years ago nationally to bring more qualified nurses into practice," said Hoenig. "The two programs meet the same objectives. They offer the same course, and achieve the same degree. They are taught by the same faculty. The difference is that the accelerated program moves faster by covering the same material and hours in a compacted fashion. The 16-month course of study goes through all summer sessions, pretty much nonstop."
The 16 soon-to-be-graduates of the new accelerated program are currently interviewing for jobs and preparing to take the MN Board of Nursing exam to become RNs. The second wave of students will start September 2008 and graduate December 2009. The application deadline is February 1, 2008.
In order to qualify for the accelerated program, applicants must already have a bachelor's degree in any field with a GPA of 3.0 or more. In addition, seven prerequisite courses must be completed or currently enrolled in at time of application.
