School Choice Confliction!

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Okay I really need some opinions please, I'm so conflicted! 😭😫

My original plan was to attended a school I was accepted into starting this fall (UPMC Mercy Hospital School). I just LOVE this school so much and it seems so prefect. Except that it would be about an hour and a half commute everyday.

I decided to take A&P 1 and 2 this summer.

Originally I never looked at schools with prerequisites because I just wanted to jump right in.

BUT! With the 2 classes I'm taking this summer, I realize that I could could attend another school because I would have completed all the prerequisites Washington Health System Hospital School)

Pro's of this school: it's only 45 minutes from my house, it's HALF(!) the cost of the other school

Con's: instead of starting this Fall 2018 and graduating Winter 2019, I would be starting Spring 2019 and graduating Summer 2020.

I was just wondering if any of you had any options/help/ suggestions? I would really appreciate it!!

Thanks so much!! 😊

Half the cost? Do it

What are the stats for both schools -- acceptance rate? Attrition rate? NCLEX pass rate? Not suggesting you have to post them here, just suggesting you look at them. That may help clarify your decision.

Are either or both schools ACEN accredited?
