<p>Are there any nursing students on here that could tell me about the program?
I got the facts and stats from the tour guide but I was more curious about a students opinion of the program</p>
<p>I guess there aren’t many nursing students on here, but I’ve had several close friends in the program and so I know a couple of things. </p>
<p>Things you may or may not know:
-As far as rankings go, nursing is actually Case’s strongest program, it’s something like top 5
-Unlike most nursing programs (including at least one Ivy League one) Case starts clinicals the first semester, rather than sophomore year or even junior year
-It’s a very well respected program, at least in the Midwest
-My friends thought it was pretty intense
-nursing students are very tightly-knit</p>
<p>by “pretty intense” u mean hard? do u think u could ask them what their schedule was? im also a soon to be nursing student too but im hoping to be able to transfer my junior year.</p>
<p>I’d say intense=challenging=hard</p>
<p>
What source are you using for this #5 ranking? I am unaware of any undergraduate nursing program rankings. Certainly in the USN&R post-graduate nursing program rankings CWRU is not top 5 or even top 10. Don’t get me wrong…I think Case has a terrific undergrad nursing program but I am also very dubious of your “top 5” statement.</p>
<p>I didn’t mean to imply that is was a ranking of the undergrad program, if you are looking for rankings of particualr departments, often the grad rankings are the best you can do.</p>
<p>“#4” is thrown around a lot at Case nursing, let me clarify. On the bottom right are some stats about Case nursing
[The</a> Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing](<a href=“Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing”>http://fpb.cwru.edu/)</p>
<p>They say they are #4 among private nursing, which is true, because 11 of the top 15 nursing schools are public.
