I am in an accelerated master’s degree program, only 1 semester in so far (never been a nurse, bachelor’s outside of nursing). It definitely is a good program, and I am confident in the material I have learned. Thing is, I feel that at this pace when I graduate I will feel unprepared for the real work world. I expect to go into an acute care setting when I graduate (ICU, etc). So far, I have nothing but A’s, and I love being a student and learning everything I can. I just don’t feel like this is enough.
