Associate Degree in Nursing?


I am considering enrolling into a community college in August in NYC to start taking courses towards or in the nursing program. Is it a good idea that I work full time and continue to pursue for my ADN degree?

The nursing program is one of the hardest for at the community college level in our state. Everyone tries to get into the UW Nursing program(which is the number one in the nation for nursing) so all the community college transfer students are competing for limited spots. I believe that you need a 3.8 gpa from our community colleges to be considered at the U of W.

So many students do not work full time or if they do they are only taking one class at the most. In my math courses at the CC level I had a lot of students that were in the nursing program and they were always the most stressed of my student friends. Good luck, I hope this helps. I am a business major now and work full time...it is difficult at best.

I don't know about there but here (cotc) the program is hard, but you will absolutely have a job lined up at graduation and will make a lot of money.
