<p>I would highly suggest my school, Le Moyne College.</p>
<p>It’s small, and not super well known (probably because it’s small, Catholic – Jesuit, to be exact, and is in Syracuse, so it’s overshadowed by SU and is often called “the other school” when talking about colleges in the city)…but it’s nursing program is awesome!</p>
<p>It’s a unique (as unique as you can get since it’s the only one of its type in the country) 1+2+1 program that utilizes both Le Moyne College and St. Joseph’s College of Nursing.</p>
<p>Year 1: Full time study at Le Moyne doing nursing prerequisites and core (gened) classes
Year 2: Full time study at St. Joseph’s College of Nursing
Year 3: Full time study at St. Joseph’s College of Nursing, graduate from SJCON with an Associates in nursing, sit for the NCLEX
Year 4: Full time study at Le Moyne, finish core requirements and BSN requirements, graduate with a Bachelors in nursing</p>
<p>You live on the Le Moyne campus all 4 years, so you get the college experience, but you also get to start clinicals sophomore year, and can start working as an RN as early as the summer after your junior year. </p>
<p>St. Joseph’s CON has clinicals mostly at St. Joseph’s Hospital Health Center, a large, very nice magnet hospital, but also uses come other places. The NCLEX pass rate has been between 89% and 97% in the past 6 years. </p>
<p>If you have any other questions, let me know. I just wanted to give you the basic run down :)</p>
