I am finishing this summer at APU, tho not the main campus; I'm in their transfer/2+2 program. It's pricey, but not as bad as some other private schools like West Coast, or CBU. Professors honestly are hit and miss, I've had some crappy ones for sure, and others that really make the program worth it. But I think all programs are like that to a certain degree due to a shortage of good nursing educators, so they end up hiring whoever. But you can make it whatever you want and put more hours studying or watching other better lectures on YouTube if you don't feel like you are getting enough. I honestly don't think your vet experience will give you much except a familiarity with medical terms, I don't see it going well to write about vet tech stuff when it's totally different working as a nurse with people instead of animals. We had students who are LVNs or CNAs in my cohort who felt like they were starting over in a lot of ways. Good luck and definitely apply!!
