A public college or university should be your first choice when looking for a nursing training program. Public colleges and universities are significantly funded by both the state and federal governments. This translates to lower tuition for in-state (or in-county) residents, plus a whole slate of additional benefits.
One of the wonderful things about attending a public university is the scale and scope of programs offered. Because these schools serve a large and diverse population, they tend to offer a much broader range of programs. As a result, they often provide better and more specialized facilities such as laboratories and clinics, which are especially important to those training for nursing-related professions. At the same time, they offer an engaging student experience because of their size and diversity.
