“One thing that sold me when visiting Cabarrus College was the close-knit environment. Immediately I felt like I was at home, and I knew that this was the perfect fit for me. The faculty are all amazing and they truly care about you as an individual, not just as their student or another number. They want to see you succeed and will do whatever it takes to help get you there as long as you put in the same effort in return. I feel that the Cabarrus College nursing program not only prepares you academically as a nurse, but also professionally for the workforce. I felt confident stepping into my new role as a nurse when I was hired straight out of nursing school.”

“Spending clinical time in Atrium Health hospitals meant many managers were familiar with who I was, and they already knew my work ethic. Without Cabarrus College, I would not have landed my dream job right out of school! A professor’s connection with a former graduate that worked in my desired specialty is what gained me access to shadow on the unit and meet the nurse manager. From there, I got an interview and had a job offer 3 months before I graduated. I truly wouldn’t be where I am today in my career without Cabarrus College!”

Size matters. I wanted a school where I wasn’t just another number. Cabarrus College really does have the room to care about you individually. From the receptionist’s smiling face at the front desk to each and every instructor, they really get to know you. Instructors often times give almost instantaneous replies outside of classroom hours and I feel as though anyone of the faculty is just an email or phone call away. I can’t tell you how many times my advisor has checked in on me…and offered assistance in any way she can. Cabarrus College can offer individualized support to help you achieve your dreams.”
