Re: Many questions about PPCC PCC and UCCS nursing programs
Hi Sara - I'm sorry for not answering this sooner. I am starting the PPCC program in Jan. and they told our class that they would be nationally accredited by the time that we graduate. They told us that the only state that we cannot transfer to once we graduate is Louisiana. I'm not sure why but since I have no desire to be there, I don't really care. Yes, we can transfer our credits to UCCS and in fact, we can take additional classes towards our BSN while we are working on our ADN, like anthropology (If you talk to the admissions people at UCCS, you can get a list of classes). I plan to bridge there once I'm done with the program at PPCC and I'm working as an RN. Pueblo has also stopped the waitlist and they are going by grades now as their admission process. PCC has a good program too but I don't want to drive to clinicals starting at 6am down there. I would agree that a BSN will help open the door to more jobs and agree that UCCS students are more welcome in the job market. However, if you still have your pre-reqs to go through AND the nursing program, the job market could do a complete 180. I would also prefer not to wait another 2 years though, getting in UCCS, when I could be done with getting my RN license by then. Plus, it will be less expensive in the long run to go the way I'm going. Hope this helps you! Good luck with whatever you decide!
