I am truly thankful for the NCC Nursing Program. As a New Grad they told us the first year of nursing would be hard, but nursing in a pandemic is something else. Working in an acute care setting and having an abbreviated orientation to my hospital, unit, and operating system has truly been a completely stressful and difficult situation. During my clinical we used the SUNRISE system which I have become proficient with however, I am finding out that most other hospitals are using EPIC system. The one saving grace I had, is EPIC had a similar interface to the newly mandated "post clinical’ program we were using (so even though I hated doing it), I will personally say that has helped me become familiar with the system and more proficient during these stressful and crazy times.
I am truly grateful and proud to be a graduate of the NCC Nursing program. I have heard on numerous occasions that hospitals love Nassau Students, but never believed it. Well, I can say now I understand. I truly feel that I am able to provide quality care, and perform at a professional level due to my extensive and comprehensive instruction provided by Nassau. If it was not for the program and its intensity, stress, and hands on experience I really do not think I would be ready and “feel” ready to perform right now during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Thank you NCC for not only the opportunity to be a graduate of the program, but for preparing me for the nursing profession (and nursing in a pandemic).

My decision to attend NCC after high school stemmed from a variety of reasons. I had a lack of direction on what career to pursue, and I certainly noted the astronomical tuition costs at the schools that offered me admission. When doing my research, I noticed NCC's commitment towards its students.

I am a first-generation college student and have been paying my way through college. I had previously attended NCC because of its affordability and location. I had such good memories from my first time attending that it made sense to go back to finish my degree. People also recommended Nassau's Surgical Technology program to me because it is one of the best in the area.

NCC was a smart choice for me because I wasn't really sure what my passion was. Nassau gave me a chance to figure it out while not having to carry the financial burden of switching my major should I want to make a change.
