I'm one of the smartest people you've ever met when it comes to common sense, but book smart, not my biggest strength. I myself, struggled some in school my whole life due to ADHD, and nursing school was definitely a challenge for me. I wouldn't recommend taking a fulltime class load and working fulltime (even part time would be hard) unless you are that super intelligent person that always made straight As without barely trying. If you are one that is not good at trouble shooting, determined to figure things out on your own, need a lot of guidance or direction, or a procrastinator, this program will not be for you. Either way i will have passed at least 4 classes (possible 5 as the other class has only 4 components) within a 16 week period for $3100.00. I makes sure i complete 2 components (1 component for each class) weekly. In these 2 newer classes, each has 9 components, I have completed 5. I started out with 2, passed both within about 6 weeks, a week ahead of time started 2 more, and i plan on adding 1 more towards the end only if things are continuing to go as planned (my 16 week semester is up 3/22). My goal was to be done in 8 months, 5 classes the first 16 week period and 5 the other 16 week period. You must finish all the classes you start though before the 16 weeks is up or you will basically forfeit whatever class is unfinished and have to take it all over again, starting from the beginning. Each "semester" is 16 weeks long and no matter how many classes you take you pay a flat $3100.00. When you are done reading all the chapters (components) in the book (class) and showing you mastered all of them, you pass and move on to the next. to show your "mastery", there are no tests or quizzes. You can do a video, PowerPoint, or essay, etc. Each chapter you need to cover and show what you learned by completing 1 assignment showing you mastered the content in that component. Think of each class as a book and the components as the chapters in the book. There are 10 nursing classes for the ADN to BSN, each class has anywhere from 5 to 12 "components". Another thing that i liked was the idea of the simulation as i am a visual learner but to be honest you don't use the "sim world" much at all, maybe once or twice each class and so far i haven't been as impressed with them as i thought i would be. This school was the one i chose for several reasons, one being that all my credits transferred and i did not need to take any general education classes, only nursing.

I work PRN in home health which I'm thankful for because i couldn't imagine doing it and working full time. To give you an idea of my situation, I have not been in school since 2008 and now have 2 young boys.
I know its 5 months later but i have been in the simpath program since Dec and thought I could share my experience so far.
