I'm considering community colleges in North Carolina to kickstart my nursing career. Which ones are known for having the best nursing programs? I'd love some guidance on where to apply.
North Carolina has several community colleges with top-notch nursing programs.
Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College is a great choice with a high NCLEX passing rate. They offer an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) with options for continuing on to an RN-BSN program later on.
Forsyth Technical Community College in Winston-Salem is another excellent option. They offer both LPN and ADN programs.
Cape Fear Community College based in Wilmington is the large community college in the state and boasts a strong nursing program. Their graduates consistently pass NCLEX at high rates and they work closely with local medical facilities for internships.
Pitt Community College in Winterville is also known for its strong nursing programs, which include multiple tracks like a Practical Nursing Program and an Associate in Nursing Program.
I would suggest you look at these programs and see which align most with your needs and career goals. Remember, each program may have different prerequisites and application requirements, so be sure to thoroughly read through these on the college's websites. Good luck with your applications!
