Need to find a nursing school near Kansas City

[abrawn]

Hi, we are a military family and will be relocated next July. Unfortunately, we have been given 16 different states as potential residences.

Can someone point me in the right direction of an accredited college with a nursing program? I would like to stay the community college route but, am open to looking into a University. I currently live in Oregon and have completed all of their required pre-requisites for the local community colleges. However, all states are different and I am struggling to complete this vast amount of research in order to use the upcoming fall term as effectively as possible. If you are familiar with this area and could provide me with some local schools and a link to their nursing program I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you

I go to UMKC. I love it. The program is 3 years instead of 2 years, so you get more clinical time. The whole process takes 4 or 5 years, depending which route you take. I did the 4 year plan. It is a university, though. But definitely well worth it!!

Their website is: http://nursing.umkc.edu/

Other schools: Penn Valley Community College, Kansas City KS Community College, Avila University, Research College of Nursing, St, Luke's College

Good luck!

Do NOT go to St. Luke's College in Sioux City. they are a horrible school with horrible teachers, and embarring drop-out and expulsion rate, and they are very expensive. I know a lot of people that transferred to WITCC, and they stated that it was worth the year wait to get in.
