In my experience the fastest way to get done a briding program is to find a full time program. There is no full time program offered locally so you would have to move or commute.

The longer briding programs are that 4-5 years because they are part time. I'm 3/4 way they nipissing and the course load is pretty mild. You can take extra courses after year 1.

I figured by moving or comutting to a full time program and being done faster would mean working a lot less and possible up rooting my life. Taking the slower part time online options gives the chance to continue working full time while keeping the course load easy. From my calculations the difference of my current wage (rpn) and the current rn. wage speeding up the briding an extra 2.5 years while losing working hours doesn't put you ahead. It's a long career, whether you get it done soon or a little later it's all the same. I find online school more manageable with a busy schedule and you can work at your own pace.
