Pensacola Christian College

I feel the education I received from Pensacola Christian College prepared me for teaching in a Christian School. However, because PCC isn't an accredited college I am not able to work in the public arena. I have been told several times by schools in Virginia that it is almost as if my degree from PCC doesn't even exist. That is very frustrating. The only reason I would go to another college if give the opportunity is so I can take my skill and use it to increase my income. Those going in to PCC, especially as an education major need to consider these facts before they attend all four years and not be able to get ahead in the real world. It is impossible to survive on a Christian school teacher's salary unless you have another source of income. I learned many important lessons at PCC, I just wish it wouldn't have been a waste of my father's money.

The nursing program at PCC provided an intensive, clinically-based education that well-prepared me to assume my role as an RN in the intensive care unit, a place in which new graduate nurses are not normally prepared to work. My transition from the classroom to the hospital was quick and smooth, thanks to the 950 hours that I spent in the clincial setting under the tutelage of knowledgeable professors and experienced nurses during my course of study. All of the nurse managers and peer nurses that I come into contact with are impressed with the knowledge and skill level that I can directly relate to my education at PCC. The PCC nursing program truly provides a well-rounded, well-balanced nursing education.
