Western Carolina, UNC Charlotte, UT Chattanooga BSN?

Published

First post here! One of what I am sure will be many more :)

Long story short, after getting my first degree in English and working in the Nonprofit and Tech industries for several years, I found that I hated my jobs and could NOT work at a desk the rest of my life. I yearned for something mentally stimulating, fast paced, and people oriented. After some soul searching and many chats with my friends who are nurses I decided to go back to school to get my second degree and become a nurse. I've been taking some pre-requisite courses at the local tech college while submitting applications.

Happy to report that I've been accepted to Western Carolina University, UNC Charlotte, USC Upstate, and UT Chattanooga!

I would love to hear any feedback from alumni here about the BSN programs at these schools (and their MSN programs as well!). Things you loved, things you didn't like, job outlook after graduation in those cities, etc. Is one school more known for Nursing than the others?

We are in Charleston, SC right now so all of these will mean relocation for my husband and me. I didn't apply to any schools in cities that we didn't think we would enjoy living in, but as far as location goes, WCU (Asheville) is probably our top choice. However, choosing the best possible school is top priority.

Thanks in advance for anything you have to share! Looking forward to working with y'all :)
