Accepted to Pellissippi State & Roane State nursing. Which would you choose?

Published

I was accepted into Pellissippi State's nursing program in February and was so excited I made the cut that I pretty much forgot about the application I sent to Roane State until I recently checked my R.S. email and learned I was accepted there as well. I have a bachelor's from UT and took all of my science prereqs at Pellissippi State. I feel established with Pellissippi State knowing their campuses etc, but now that I have learned that I have been accepted to Roane State's program I'm not as sure about which program to attend as I thought I was. I'm a little nervous about starting all over at a new college and new campuses, but I'm wondering if going to Roane State's nursing program might be more beneficial since they are a well established and long running program versus Pellissippi's nursing which will only begin its second year in the fall. Just looking for others' opinions on either program and/or which you did or would choose?

Thanks!

For some reason even though my email notifications are on, I never received emails that there were more responses to my post! Thanks for all the details everyone. I am officially enrolled at Roane State now. Unfortunately,even though I live in Knoxville I will be having to make the hour drive to Harriman for my lab, as I got shut out of Oak Ridge labs due to an administration error >:( Oh well, I'm sure I'll get used to (fingers crossed..)

Good to hear that the lab teachers are awesome at Harriman. I also got shut out of the Oak Ridge labs. I just keep saying it is temporary.

So excited, I can't believe it all begins next month. eeeek.
