Hi everyone,
I just got accepted to Brockton Hospital School of Nursing and Cape Cod Community college in mass. They both have pros and cons so i was really hoping someone could give me their feedback if you attended either school and what you thought of it. I'm really confused on Brockton's because they offer you a diploma, but say if you meet all the requirements you can also get associate in science through Fisher College. I really want to move on and get my Bachelors so I didn't know if that would be a problem if I attended Brockton.
Thank you!!!

i live in massachusetts and attended a diploma program.i was told that all of my courses would be transferrable towards a bsn and we had a sister college to apply to, for those who wanted to pursue a bsn.
as for brockton, their reputation is reputable. you should ask if they're affiliated with a college, should you pursue a bsn. often times schools of nsg and colleges work hand in hand.
good luck!
