<p>direct entry = you get accepted as a high school student, no need to apply to the nursing program 2 years later in college. To me, it is less stressful.
2+2 program = 2 yrs in college taking pre-req., then apply to the nursing program in sophomore year, usually hundreds of applicants will apply & only 80-90 (or more )spots are available depending on the college, may or may not get in at that time. </p>
<p>My D & I prefer a direct entry program as opposed to a 2+2. </p>
