The nursing program at Swedish Institute is one of the best nursing programs out there. It prepares you for what you will actually encounter when you are working in the institution that you are hired for. Like every accelerated program it is fast-paced but you do learn. The faculty staff is genuine and they are always available when needed.
I got my RN license in 21 months. Now I work in a NY city hospital. I am very grateful to the school for giving me an opportunity to study nursing. Nursing program was not easy, I am very happy, I passed all the courses and passed NCLEX the first time.
[My Admissions Representative] helped push me to believe that it would be possible for me to go to school and be a single mom and help raise my son... there's a lot of support at Swedish, honestly, so give it a try, give it a chance, because there's help there.
