"A nursing degree from an Ivy is a waste"

bearcatfan - There is an active “Nursing” forum under majors on CC. You can also search the word nursing and the name of a college and find posts people have written about various programs over the years. Many people have posted about what they liked and did not like about various programs.

Some commuter schools and community colleges have high RN exam pass rates partially because they have many older students. Many of those students have years of experience in health care before they take the RN exam, and some were practical (vocational) nurses. In comparison, many younger students only have experience from clinicals and maybe one summer job in a hospital.
