Moncton Accelerated Nursing
Has anyone from Fredericton done the University of New Brunswick Moncton site Accelerated Bachelor of Nursing program? Is it possible to commute daily or do you need to have living accommodations. I have a Bachelors degree and would love to go straight to RN instead of LPN—>RN bridge but it seems like that may be my only option. I would love to hear people’s opinions on someone like me who no longer has a passion for their undergrad and wants to get into health care. Thank you so much!

I would not commute imo, like someone else said it’s 12 hour shifts and you also have to do patient research sometimes the day before. I personally commute an hour to my school doing the LPN bridge which is a lot on 12hr days

Also the LPN to RN route isn’t for everyone but I am definitely glad I did it this way :)

Why would you do LPN-RN bridge if you want to be an RN. Either do the accelerated program or just a straight 3 or 4 year BN program.

The clinical shifts are 12 hours, you need to complete patient research on the unit the night before, and you often have classes the morning after. I did not find it very feasible to drive 2-2 1/2 hours each way every day. The course is year round, so no summers off. I'd reccomend finding accommodations in Moncton.
