Hi guys!
I am a senior in hs and nursing is certainly a major I want to pursue.
What are some good colleges for it?
I have a 30 on my ACT & a close to 4.0 GPA.
Home state? Budget? Preference for location?
oh sorry for not mentioning it on the post.
I would like to go to schools on the East Coast
At this time, I would just want to get different kinds of schools, excluding the costs.
I will worry about the costs later, because of financial aid and merit scholarships

“I’ll worry about the costs later”… => REALLY bad strategy.
There’s a tool on each college website, called a Net Price Calculator. It tells you, “net cost”, how much your family will be expected to pay. (Sometimes it’s more if you have divorced parents or if they own a business.) Most colleges don’t “meet need” - and THEY define “need”. So, for every college suggested, you should run the NPC first thing.
For nursing, I’d suggest the best state school in your area that you can afford. Nursing is not a particularly prestige obsessed field but you still want to go to a school where you learn the foundations very well.
