Charlotte area...Mercy school of Nursing vs. CPCC...

[sogade]

I have been accepted to both, help me decide! There are pros and cons to each, but what I think it's comes down to for me is getting a job when I'm fished with school. Does anyone here have any idea on which will be better in terms of actually getting a job post graduation?

Without a doubt, GO FOR MERCY! Since it's part of CHS, you'll get ranked higher than CPCC students when you apply for RN jobs (at least that's what I've heard from HR and several Nurse Managers). I'm at Carolinas College of Health Sciences and Mercy is a sister school. The loan forgiveness program is a big benefit. As a tech, I've had students from various schools on my floor. The CPCC students -- and a couple of instructors-- I've worked with are so unprepared. And isn't CPCC's program currently on probation?
