I just graduated from NWCC 2 weeks ago. I want to offer my opinion about the program for anyone seeking admission. The instructors, for the most part, are pretty solid/caring individuals. They often go out of their way for the students with one cave...

Don't you need 1750 hours of critical care at the bedside before you can take the CCRN?

Thanks for the info! I'm a new grad that's going to start orientation into level 1 trauma ICU so other than do you know of any other material? Maybe specifically for trauma?

DO school without OMM is MD school lol

Lol, there is no calculus involved in dosage calculations. People would die at an alarming rate if there was....

I would like to add this: Throughout the entire program the instructors a the various levels told us NWCC grads have a reputation of being the best around including baptist/Memphis/UTHSC/southwest. I thought they were blowing smoke the entire time un...
