Good luck to all of you new CSCC nursing students! I graduated 2 years ago and have never doubted my decision to go to CSCC. I loved the program and made some lifelong friends along the way. You will work harder than you've ever worked, but it is so much fun and so worth it! Good luck!!

Hmm I never figured out who my classmates in this thread are. :) I need to get a new login on here so I'm not so obvious! Anyway, with one final to go before I officially have 1 quarter under my belt, I officially have no complaints. I'm really enjoying it. Now, I don't have a full time job and kids to juggle so I imagine my experience would be a heck of a lot different if I did.

I heard of lot of the "they want you to fail, THEY WILL BREAK DOWN YOUR WILL TO LIVE!" rumors before going in both on these boards and in person. Ok, not as bad as "breaking down your will to live" but the people I heard the "they want you to fail, they don't care about you" stuff from got pretty dramatic sometimes. The instructors have been nothing but encouraging. They want you to succeed and if you're having problems they want to help you figure out why and what can be done to make you successful.

So, thus far I give it an A+++++....would do business with again.

ETA keeping up with the coursework online as opposed to in a classroom has not been as hard as I thought it would be! Though the next two quarters will REALLY be a challenge. YIKES!

Well, with the first quarter under my belt, I'm feeling pretty good, I'm happy with my grades and clinical experience. I am one of the older students, with kids, and it is very doable. I don't have to work though, so I think it would be way harder to keep up with the workload if I did. Having been out of school for a while (twelve years), it did take me some time to adjust to the amount of time I'd be studying.

I felt like all of the faculty was very supportive, and agree with SassyCassy that they really want everyone to succeed. I'd say overall, I've been pretty happy with the experience.
