Hi all,
I am very interested in the nursing program for both schools and would like to ask for some advice: do both schools have the same level of good reputation when hospitals interview the graduates from USF and SMU? Or are graduates from SMU treated differently from USF graduates?
I would appreciate any advice from anyone in the healthcare field or anyone who has had friends graduate from either university. It is a tough decision for me because I understand that USF requires students to wait one year before starting clinicals, and the nursing program is 3 years in addition to that (so 4 years total), versus SMU which is only two years and slightly cheaper since I won't have to pay for another year there. I am wondering if the quality of education at USF would be better than SMU or vice versa. Any help is appreciated....thanks for reading!
