Thank you for your response! Did you like it? How were the clinicals? Were you able to find a job pretty simple with you degree?

I enjoyed my time there. We had clinicals at hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living, and a psych facility. It wasn't easy, but it was all worth it to finish. I worked at a family practice clinic, and I'm getting ready to work on a military base through a company that contracts for the government. So, I will have to say yes to your last question. :)

When I attended, they offered only day and evening classes.

Are you saying they offered both day and evening nursing classes or just daytime classes? I am looking for an evening program.

I called Fortis and she said that they only offer the nursing program full time days and no evenings. I was sad to hear that. I am looking for a good well respected accelerated nursing program. I am going to check Hampton university and MCI. I saw somewhere that TCC and Eastern shore community college is beginning and evening/weekend prorogram but it's too far away

I graduated back in 2012. So they must of changed it since then. Those are both good programs to look into. Best of luck to u! :)
