Testimonial quote:
“I decided to attend Cabarrus College for their incredible ADN program and decided to come back for my BSN. The decision to choose Cabarrus College of Health Sciences for a second time was truly a no-brainer. The exceptional education I received for my ADN is mirrored in their BSN program. The small class sizes and well-prepared faculty provide students with the best possible learning environment.
When I entered the workplace, many nurses said they could tell which students graduated from Cabarrus College. They reported those nurses were more advanced clinically than other students in the region and they were impressed by their critical thinking and clinical reasoning. My work as nursing supervisor affords me the knowledge to oversee new nurses now. I can say that Cabarrus College graduates really do stand out. Cabarrus grads are eager, well prepared, and understand the complexities of providing hospital patient care.”
