Christ vs. Good Sam

Hi Jennifer!

I too was accepted to both Christ and Good Sam so congrats!!!!!!!! we did it!!!! However, i decided against Good Sam because my start date for the program was August 2010! and Christ start is August 2009! I think they are both very similar programs. I never went to an info session at Good Sam, so do not know much about it, but with Christ they had some good aspects as far as getting some money towards tuition if you work as a PCA at christ hospital while you are school, i believe they also have something at christ hospital where they give you a certain amount of money towards going on to get your BSN if you work at christ hospital. so i would check into things like that to see what works best for you!

I am now deciding whether to go to Christ for my ADN or UC's accelerated nursing program! ahhh decisions decisions!!!

hope i helped a little!

I understand being nervous about making the right choice. I COMPLETELY hear you and am strugling as well. The $$ that Christ would give you I wouldn't necessarily call it "tuition reimbursement" but i would say more like tuition assistance. I am pretty sure in the info session they talked about that. Unfortunately they did away with the tuition reimbursement (work for christ and get the 2 years paid for!) but this is still good cause u work for them while going to school and they help pay the bills a little bit! BUT i could be completely wrong, so do check into that!!! GOOD luck!

hi guys!!!!!!!! my name is grace and i got into christ as well when did you receice the letters i didnt get mine til monday the 16th so i was freaking out!!! i know you were talking bout good sam as well i decided not to go to good sam because of the waiting for the clinincals but their program is similar to uc's bsn i was currently attending uc and was doing pre nursing but i became sick and had a close friend die so i didnt do well on my pre-reqs and had to drop before my gpa suffer and i def would not have a chance at uc's bsn program without them, back to your conversation they are both great programs and very competitive good sam is a little more expensive. i learned bout both programs from my pre nursing advisor at uc because i told her my dream was to become an rn and she told me that i have the potential to do get in at this schools and she said both of them are great because they are in a hospital setting and that if you decide to go to uc for the bsn thru their rn to bsn program every single credit will transfer and it will only take a year!!!!!!!! she also said christ pays for it if you work for them so either you will make a great decision i work at childrens hospital and i see christ students and good sams doing their clinicals there and the nurses are very pleased with the way they carry themselves and their knowledege.....it all comes down to whether you want to wait for the clinicals or not thats all it is...back to christ i hope i can come with the 350 by april money is tight right now as you all know nice to meet you guys hope to c you in agust!!!!! take care ladies.

do you guys know the fafsa code for christ??????//

wow thats crazy that they dont have financial aid the adminitstrative assistant told me to call the financial aid dept and ask her bout financial aid she said they dont have a fafsa code and i dont have no other way to pay for school if is not thru grants or loans hopefully they got some good financial packets for students and i think they should give every single student admitted a scholarship just for gettin in thanks for replying bye.

yea i hope they come soon will you be doing the 3 year or the 2 year track? i am not sure which one i want to do...
