What are some colleges for nursing?

College Search & Selection

<p>I want to go into nursing and I have a few colleges in mind, but I would like some input on other good undergraduate nursing programs that's I would have a good chance to get into, perhaps a few reaches and/or safeties. And, if there is any information about tuition or how much financial aid the college gives out that would be awesome (since money is going to be a factor)! </p>

<p>I'm a MA resident and am going into my senior year of high school. I have an unweighted gpa of 3.6-ish and a weighted of 4.2-ish. Since freshman year I have taken honor classes and a few AP's; I have done fairly well overall. My ACT composite score is 29, I plan for another retake in September. I have volunteered at a local hospital for two summers now, and I plan to (hopefully) continue during the school year. I do not play sports or instruments but I am part of 4 clubs (science team, math team, Asian-American culture club, and robotics); I am president of Asian-American Culture Club. I enjoy writing when I have time; I have won a few awards because of my writing. And I have participated in a sustainable garden internship at my school garden for the past 3 summers.</p>

<p>Hi, in the sub forum , nursing major, there is a " master list / complete list " of colleges with Direct Entry nursing program, by state & by school name. I couldn’t post a link right now but if you go to the sub forum, nursing major, you’ll see the thread " master list". Look & see whats available in MA in the list.
Lots of parents w/ nursing backgrounds or have kids in nursing can give you more info if you post there too. Good luck</p>

<p>Direct Entry program : you get admitted directly into the 4yr program as a high school student. No need to apply later.
2+2 program ( non direct entry) : you attend college as a pre- nursing student for 2 yrs,then you have to apply to nursing school at that time.</p>

<p>You’ll likely find that your home state options are the best. Nursing is an “impacted” major at several public universities. Also, many B.S. nursing departments are NOT direct entry. You would be required to satisfy your general ed and some science requirements first, then apply to the nursing department, at some schools. Private college nursing programs may be more flexible, but of course they are expensive.</p>
