Please advise me nurses!


Hi all! I am faced with a unique situation. I got into GTCC's nursing program beginning Spring 2010 and also I got into Forsyth Tech's Spring 2010 program as well. Have any of you heard which is better? I realize that this is a good position to be in and am very thankful. I just wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts or experiences with either school. Thanks!

it's a personal decision for you considering differences in tuition/fees, commute, where clinicals will be, friends accepted into the program also, parking, etc...

just go through a list of things (like above and others) that are important to you and a choice should appear, unless u have a true toss up, then just flip a coin, ha.

forgot to add, congrats and both schools are fine.

I currently attend Forsyth. I think it is a great program. It's tough, but prepares you for the NCLEX and real life after graduation. One person in our class came from the GTCC program and said she likes ours better. This is the only thing I have heard about GTCC. Congrats on getting into both! Look at maybe what hospitals you may want to work at after and which ones you will be doing clinicals at as well.

Go to the NCBON and see who has the highest NCLEX pass rate. Also check out the clinical sites and see are the close to you and the types of facilities they are. Also find out the lowest C grade that each one has. This could make a difference. Congrats!
