I just know John abbott has the highest pass rate for the license exam, and it has some special programs for different background applicants, so i assume its the best, anyways, Dawson is not that hard, i know a lot of people, they almost all got the offer. Call the nursing department, ask about the requirements then go for it, not so hard to get in. But i am not sure if its hard to get your DEC though, i didnt do it in Dawson.
