Hi Moving! I live in Southern Connecticut where there are a host of hospitals to choose from as well as some pretty well appointed Associate Degree nursing programs. As far as crime, there are grim and ugly places where ever you go. If you are considering Southern Connecticut look into Stamford, Greenwich, Norwalk, Milford etc. You can also check out Norwalk Community College which has a great Associates program. That site will also lead you to the other Associate Degree programs....I think.

Hope this pushes you in the right direction. Good luck with your move and your pursuits in nursing.
