Goodwin or Community College

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I'm looking to hear from anyone who had to decide between Goodwin and the community colleges nursing program. This is my dilemma right now.

If I go to Goodwin, I only have to take A&P 1 & 2, and a computer course, and then I can apply to their program in Fall 2016. I'm very worried about the cost there, though.

If I go the CC route, I'll have to take ALL my science prerequisites over (CCs have science course expiration dates of 7 years. Mine were done 8 years ago. Goodwin only has expiration dates on A&P.) and I would likely spend way less than I would at Goodwin.

I also get the feeling that at Goodwin, a lot of things are too good to be true, or so easy.

Im looking forward to hearing anyone's advice!

Thank you.

Listen to your little voice!!!

Sounds like Goodwin is a tech school - not recommended! There's mucho info here on AN that describe the pitfalls of tech schools. Read up on the posts. And make sure you've done your research re their graduation rates, NCLEX pass rates, transference of credits for future education, hospital choice for employability, exorbitant costs/fees with major debt, etc.

And be very cautious if you need their counseling for any past legal indiscretions.

Be afraid; be very afraid!
