You're correct of course, Wis. I did say my explanation was oversimplified!

I would not recommend the CC route unless $$ is a concern. While the programs are great, the OP's D should have the opportunity for the total college experience if possible.

Norcal mentions autonomy. That's a good question for nurses, as well. There is a fairly wide disparity in how much autonomy nurses are allowed from state to state. Even in practice, you will find that from hospital to hospital the nursing roles vary. That may be a consideration when choosing a school, because often the graduates choose to practice where they studied. One important thing to check out is the school's passing rate on the nursing boards. If it's not 100% over a good period of time, I'd be asking lots of questions.
