Home of nationally-ranked healthcare centers like Yale New Haven Hospital and Connecticut Children\u2019s Medical Center, and high-performing institutions like Hartford Hospital and St. Francis Hospital, you\u2019re surrounded by achievement of local medical teams. That means a few good things \u2013 satisfied patients, talented nurses, and importantly, opportunity for you to grow and thrive as a nurse!<\/p>\n<p>It might seem like an impossible number, but in fact, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/oes\/current\/oes292061.htm#(1)\">U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics<\/a> reported that almost <strong>31,400<\/strong> Registered Nurses (RNs) were employed in Connecticut as of May 2018. Joining this incredible workforce as a nurse could be a decision of this lifetime. But where do you start? Enrolling in the best nursing college possible \u2013 one that aligns with your wants and needs \u2013 is a step in the right direction.<\/p>\n<p>Getting started as a nurse begins with a strong foundation of education. Before you become a student of nursing, you\u2019ll want to weigh your options. What is most important to you, to have as a component of your degree program? To find the best nursing college program for you, consider some of the following factors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your Career Goals<br \/>\n<\/strong>Think about your career goals, and whether the nursing college you\u2019re pursuing can get you there. The best nursing colleges leave room for growth, with multiple degree options for aspiring RNs. This allows you to start with the minimum degree requirement, as well as pursue a bachelor\u2019s in Nursing (BSN), or even a master\u2019s degree (MSN).<\/p>\n<p>No matter what kind of job you\u2019re reaching for \u2013 a Registered Nurse in a hospital, at a local school, in a private practice or home care, or even a nurse educator \u2013 you\u2019re going to need to start with the basics. An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/majors\/nursing\/as-degree\">associate degree in nursing<\/a> sets you up with theoretical nursing knowledge (including ethical, legal, and regulatory frameworks), while also providing you with opportunities for hands-on experience in patient care. After 20 months of studying part-time, graduating, and earning your <a href=\"https:\/\/portal.ct.gov\/DPH\/Practitioner-Licensing--Investigations\/Registered-Nurse\/Registered-Nurse-Licensure\">CT RN licensure<\/a>, you\u2019ll get a leg up into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/majors\/nursing\/career-options\">career options<\/a> such as working in doctor\u2019s offices, hospitals, long term care, nurse management, and much more.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve gotten your feet wet with some experience, you can consider leveling up with an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/majors\/rn-to-bsn\/\">RN-to-BSN program<\/a>, which can be taken part-time and completed in 16 months at Goodwin College. With your BSN degree, you\u2019ll become eligible for more advanced roles in these same healthcare settings \u2013 check out some of the possibilities <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/majors\/rn-to-bsn\/career-options\">here<\/a>. Being career-minded means that your plan for success is always a couple steps ahead. So, what\u2019s next for you? Simply mapping it out can be a major motivator, and can help you in choosing the best nursing college for you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Flexibility &amp; Affordability<br \/>\n<\/strong>Do you want a campus experience out of your undergraduate nursing program? Or would you prefer to buckle down at home, online, after work-hours? There is truly no wrong answer. However, there are some major differences that could help you make an informed choice. Most associate nursing programs are offered on-campus and in a structured format, so that you can gain clinical experience in the field. Depending on the college, these programs may be offered part- and full-time. Several nursing colleges will offer online and flexible BSN programs, as well, making it easy to advance your nursing education. For example, Goodwin\u2019s RN-to-BSN program is offered entirely online, as well as our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/majors\/msn\/\">MSN degree<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We understand it may, or may not, be possible, reasonable, or desirable for you to put aside a job and family life in order to make your education a priority. You may need more flexible options with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/majors\/rn-to-bsn\/flexibility\">BSN college<\/a> you choose. Because you have other priorities, you may need a more affordable college, as well.<\/p>\n<p>Traditional, full-time nursing programs come at a higher cost, while online or hybrid programs are often more affordable. Campus life, full of extra-curriculars, sports, and more, are alluring for many. Yet, it is still possible to take advantage of student life and valuable networking without a \u201cquad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Part of selecting the best nursing college for your individual needs involves being reasonable, which often requires transparency at the outset. One of the greatest things about Goodwin College, is that it operates on a fixed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/admissions\/tuition-information\">tuition<\/a> model, which means that you will enter your program knowing exactly how much it will cost you upon completion. Goodwin College also offers one of the lowest tuition costs for private, non-profit colleges in Connecticut. What\u2019s the best deal that you can get out of college? Less debt! Graduate from a position of power, and into a more secure future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Long-term Support<br \/>\n<\/strong>Some colleges offer a handshake in exchange for a diploma, and wave goodbye to you forever more. Other colleges continue to hold your hand to ensure your success. Goodwin College\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/career-services\/\">Career Services<\/a> department is really at the heart of our mission, because we believe that the whole point of an advanced education, is to improve your career, earning potential, and life!
