I am wondering how true of a statement this is. I am in a nursing program that is not MUSC, and I was recently told by someone in the medical field that by having a degree from MUSC (we were talking exclusively about nursing jobs), someone would be hired ANYWHERE in the country and be put on top of the list of candidates. I understand completely that that could apply in the state of South Carolina, but I was utterly gobsmacked to be told that this University has that kind of far reaching prowess and regard in other parts of the U.S.. I mean, before I even moved here I had never heard of it. My question to other nurses out there is if you have heard of MUSC in other states, or if you have done hiring if you would agree with this statement? I am trying to get a feel for rough the job outlook will be for me when I graduate next year and every new hire position is autosaved for MUSC RNs. For the record, I am more than able and willing to relocate for a job, but deeply enjoy the Charleston area.
This is the first time in my 9 year of being a nurse that I hear about MUSC. Maybe it matters in the state you are are Like if you are in PA and graduate from Jefferson or John Hopkins you will impress but at the moment of the truth, Nurse Beth who graduated from Looney toon community college can turn out to be way better nurse.
Man, what a good price! Now it is upwards of $30,000 and 4 semesters long.
I was accepted in 2008. Dang, I knew tuition in SC was getting ridiculous (Have you seen the tuition for Furman U? My daughter wants to go there) but that was really crazy! Glad I went to G'ville Tech and saved my money.
