National University v.s Grossmont College in san diego

Hi everyone!

I am still taking pre reqs at City in S.Diego, and should finish by fall 2007. but I am having a hard time deciding where to go for nursing. I talked to a counselor in the nursing dept. at grossmont and told me it would be a 1 1/2-2 yrs. waiting for a ADN 2yr program. I hear the program is great and that Hospitals love these nurses from grossmont.

I also got info for the program in National University and told me that there was no waiting list, but if you wanted to join the 22 month, BSN program, its about 30-35k(estimate) and a 2.75 GPA or higher. also an essay of your professional goals and why you want to be a nurse! Now that sounds really good to me!!! What do you guys think? They told me they were accredited, and if I ever wanted my MSN, any University here in S.D would take the credits earned there.
I was just curious to know if anyone knows about these programs. I am leaning more against National University.

But is it true that hospitals prefer to hire someone with more education from a 4yr university than at an accelerated program??
I need feedback. Please I need to know.
