Re: Does the Nursing School Matter?
The school doesn't matter. Grades can be beneficial sometimes, but mostly, places of employment look for experience or backgrounds of new grads. You'd be better off getting your ADN somewhere with previous experience as a CNA or ER tech versus a Bachelors degree and straight A's it almost seems these days. The particular university shouldn't matter for you, but if you do have the time, I would definitely get in somewhere as a student nurse tech if possible.
And good grades never hurt anyone, but getting straight A's in nursing school is near impossible, survival is the goal. : )
