There is no substitute for hands-on hospital training. As you know, there are many nursing online programs available; however the majority do not offer live faculty-student interaction or real life hospital-integrated training -- AICASA does. According to a recent New York Times article, Andrew Delbanco, the Columbia Humanities professor states, "The energy and spontaneity of discussion among people sitting together in a small room cannot be replicated by electronic exchanges.” Professor Delbanco adds, “Online courses may not be suited to subjects like laboratory science.” Our ASN to BSN joint program with Lehman (CUNY) is comprehensive, designed to make you highly valuable in the nursing field.
