What nursing school did everyone attend?

:welcome:

I just thought it would be interesting to see what schools everyone attended for nursing. This is open to everyone all the way from hospitals that grant diplomas in nursing to large universities that issue Ph.D's. Also, would you recommend your school to prospective nurses? And lastly what is your fondest memory while pursuing your nursing education?

I'm a newbie too, just got out of an extremely good, but rigid program which I have jokingling referred to as the "Death Star", for my own sanity, because I don't deal well with supposed teachers of empathy who have none....Also know as Marymount University in Arlington, VA.

Most memorable moment? My husband crossing light sabers :smiley_ab with a Darth Vader Faculty Head over allowing me to reschedule a final due to a serious illness I had from an infection I contracted while at clinicals at one of their fine facilities!

It's just all a part of the tradition of going through nursing school I suppose. Either way, I love taking care of my patients and I am proud of what I do, so that's all that matters to me!

Ivy Tech State College at Sellersburg, IN (now called Community College of Indiana at Sellersburg) for my ASN and IU Southeast for BSN. Both are excellent, wouldn't trade any of the experiences or friends I made for anything in the world......

I am go through a fast track RN program called Apollo College. I am just happy the program is only 2 years. It is a small private school.

I graduated on May 10, 2008 from Morgan Community College in Fort Morgan, Colorado with my ADN. Very tough and excellent program.Never underestimate the small community colleges, they are awesome!

My fondest memory actually occured last week when I walked into the hospital I have worked at for 10 years (yes even through school!) as a CNA, with RN on my shiny new badge. At 49 it is a thrill I never imagined I would experience.

aka CNArural now known as RNrural!

I graduated from Parkland College in Champaign Illinois almost 20 years ago. Seems like it was just yesterday, it was the smartest decision I ever made.:wink2:

I went to SFA in Nac! Axe em' Jacks!

[Bortaz, MSN, RN]

South Texas College, currently, in McAllen, Tx - ADN program.

I'll most likely get my BSN and MSN from UT-Tyler, in Tyler Texas, or SFA. Another possibility is some school in Houston if I get into an internship at a hospital there.

I graduated with my BSN from Bishop Clarkson College of Nursing in Omaha, Nebraska; now Clarkson College. They are a private college that's been around since 1888. It was tough but I would recommend it. Best part of it was that the whole class pulled together and were compared to a school of dolphins [ who circle fellow dolphins in trouble ]. That in itself was a very valuable lesson.

Washington State University Intercollegiate College of Nursing.

Say that 10 times fast.

I loved college though. I did my first 2.5 years at the main campus. After that for nursing school, you have to move to a branch campus in a bigger city. Otherwise... well... all you'd learn is detox on 18-24 year olds. I chose to move back to my home town and live at home for free. I frequently miss those first 2.5 years in a university town, busting my butt but having fun.

I just graduated from Shadyside Hospital School of Nursing in Pittsburgh. They're now associated with Chatham College. I was very satisfied with my training there.
