Which is better ... University of Memphis nursing program or Baptist College of Health Science nursing program? I got accepted to Baptist and U of M but i don't know which school to choose from

Whatever is cheapest, including commuting and living expenses. Public university degrees are easier to transfer overseas, if you ever need that to happen.

University of Memphis is cheaper but i won't be living on campus.

I'm in Baptist now and love it. It's expensive, so knock out your prerequisites at Southwest (they have a transfer agreement).

I've heard a lot of great things about UofM too though - Baptist has the benefit of smaller class sizes. It's harder to get in their program, but once you're in, they do their best to keep you in it.

Also for Baptist, before you apply to their nursing program (getting accepted to the college is the step before), you've got to take 4 classes specifically for Baptist and submit your intent to progress while you're actually a student there.

The 4 classes are: BCE, Writing for Healthcare, Medical Sociology, and Pathophysiology. 8 Credit hrs total.

You'll submit your intent to progress the semester you arrive at Baptist, and start clinicals 2 semesters later if you're accepted into their nursing program.

Good luck!
