I am currently doing undergraduate In Nursing with 12 credits. I get homework in all my four classes and get enough time to work on them before the next class, the study course provided by my professors has helped me plan and work on lessons ahead of time. Online tutoring is open 24/7 and it’s the best help you’ll ever get in just a click.

The tuition is considerably cheaper compared to other colleges. We are also provided opportunities to earn scholarships and grants, which significantly lighten the financial load. This is primarily the reason why my family and I have preferred to stay in RCC for so long. One semester is 4 months, so this also provides for a longer time to learn subject material, which I personally prefer. Workload is manageable, and as with any college, there are different kinds of instructors available. We have math labs, writing labs, and speech labs available to supplement our learning.

Payment plan makes paying easy. Lecturers are friendly and always ready to help because they don’t want you to fail. Planning has to be in place to help with the workload as there’s always one assignment to finish and back to back tests or quiz.

    Dr Khataza Jessie Wheatley says:

    The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program is popular among international students because it offers strong job prospects in any country and a good salary in most countries upon completion. The demand for BSNs in the United States is high as the current generation retires, meaning there are lots of job opportunities across the US.

    Choosing to study nursing at our University will allow the opportunity to study in state-of-the-art clinical facilities and train under the guidance of leading lecturers in the field. As an international student nurse, you will train in acute care hospitals, hospice care centers and outreach clinics.

    Studying nursing in the US allows for the opportunity to learn from nurse educators who are nurse experts, and allows students to be surrounded by professionals from various cultural, ethnic, religious, socioeconomic, and educational backgrounds. As a US-educated nurse, you can work in acute care hospitals, hospice care centers and outreach clinics in most countries after undergoing their licensure and credentialing process.
