Choosing between two schools (opinions please)

Published

Specializes in None.

I am having a hard time choosing the school I want to go to the most...I need you all's opinion. I am going to apply to both of them just in case. When choosing i'm not too sure what to look for.

Both are community colleges:

One of my choices is near home and the NCLEX-RN pass rate is wonderful!

My other chioce is not too much futher from home however, their NCLEX-RN pass rate is not near as good as my other choice.

Someone was suggesting that the reason for the rates being low is because they have one of the top hospitals for clinicals and maybe they are preparing the nursing students for that? They also said the pass rate for the other choice is good is because the clincials are at a "subrban" hospital where it is not as stressful as most hospitals.

I hope I made some sense in this thread. All and any advice is greatly appreciated!! :heartbeat

There have to be other pros and cons for each community college beside the ones listed (NCLEX pass rate and distance). Based on just these two, I would choose the college that is closer in distance with the higher NCLEX pass rate.

How does tuition cost differ?

The one furthest from me is 13,000 total and the one close to me with the high NCLEX rates is 10,000.
