Rhode Island's nursing programs

If this post is in the wrong location, I apologize.

I’ve been a little confused about whether nursing program—CCRI or New England Tech—I should enroll in to earn my associate’s degree in nursing. I’ve heard positive things as well as negative things about both. They are both in competition. In my opinion, CCRI is less expensive. NET is three months shorter. I would be a freshman in a college or university this year. I have not done any preparatory work. Anything would be greatly appreciated if anyone could recommend or share their experiences at any of the above recommended establishments. I’m hearing from some folks that CCRI. NET is what others are saying. I’m not really sure how the two differ from one another.

My husband started at CCRI and then transferred to RIC. He graduated at the top of his class and was immediately offered a job at RIH following a brief internship. I can promise you that it’s an excellent program.

The program is well-regarded, and the professors are or were top doctors in their field, making it highly competitive. On average, students may need to apply to the program a second time, so it’s crucial to maintain good grades during the two-year period. There is no point system in place.
