<p>D1 studied to be a nurse at our local CC and then went on to a local state school (not our state uni) to complete her BSN. Before she finished her degree (she had her RN but not her BSN at that time), she landed a dream job - Emergency Department nurse in an award-winning hospital. </p>
<p>In our state, very, very few new nurses are hired for this department. In fact, very few nurses can even find work here and many go to other states to find work and then move back to this state when they have some work experience. </p>
<p>She knows others who went to more prestigious colleges (and let’s face it - almost any college is more prestigious than a community college) but landed jobs working in doctor’s offices and the like. </p>
<p>Community college certainly did not hold D1 back at all.</p>
