In my state jr colleges are all Tech schools and have a wonderful reputation for everything they teach. There are some universities who will never measure up to them. So a little more information please. Oh our tech school AD credits usually will transfer to a state University also. What state are you in?

"Better" is relative. What is your criteria for "better"?

Graduation rate?

Ease of entry into nursing program?

NCLEX pass rate?

Cost?

Length of wait list?

Here is a link that might help you get started: http://www.nursingschools.net/articles/how-to-choose-a-nursing-school/

Start thinking about your goals. If you are anxious to get your RN quickly and money is tight, a two year program in a community college may be for you. If you can afford the time and money, consider getting a BSN degree (four years) which may give you more options as your career progresses.

Whichever you choose, keep learning to become the Best Nurse You Can Be!
