“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 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. The faculty knew my name, knew details about my life, and really helped influence the type of nurse I became.”

“I have attended a few institutions and none of them compared to Cabarrus College. The instructors are so personable and meet you where you are in your nursing journey and your home and work life. There was so much balance in this program that I longed for in others. I believe this degree opened many new doors for me and I would recommend anyone on the fence to take the plunge. You will not regret it, and the Cabarrus College team is there to help you the entire way.”
