GOING BACK TO SCHOOL

Going back to school at any point in your nursing career is a big step. It is
a major investment of time and money to pursue a BSN degree, and you
want to make sure the sacrifice is worthwhile. That’s why it’s so critical to
carefully weigh every component of the decision.

At a time when the healthcare industry is pushing for more education of
the nursing workforce, there are many schools vying for your business.
However, as you might expect, it isn’t easy to make an apples-to-apples
comparison of different schools’ nursing programs. This e-book can help
you do just that.
At American Sentinel University, we are committed to helping students
successfully navigate the educational journey. That journey begins with
researching your options and making the choice that is best for you. Before
you read through the pages that follow, consider this question:
What are your priorities?

Answering this question is a critical step in the process of selecting a
school. After all, the nursing school you choose is where you will spend
the next year (or more) of your life. Are you looking for the most affordable
option? Do you want to complete your degree in as little time as possible?
Are you seeking an online school or a classroom-based program at a
college in your area?

The number of choices can be daunting, but don’t worry. We’ll go step
by step and help you understand what you need to think about when
comparing nursing schools. Using our Nursing School Comparison
Worksheet on page eleven, you will be able to evaluate your selections
side by side and make an informed decision.
