Does reputation matter for Nursing School?

Hi! I'm in the process of a huge career change. I was going to law school and I'm now changing to going to Nursing school. I'm in the very beginning stages; I'm just now starting the pre-requisites. For law school, the reputation of the law school is very important in determining where you get a job, as well as the type of job you get. Is the same true for Nursing School? I understand that it's important to check out NCLEX passing rates as well as passing rates for students. However, I'm most interested in a school at the University of Rochester. It has a great program, a great reputation, and it's where I currently live which makes it even more convenient. The cost is phenomenal compared to, say, a state school in NY. The state schools are good, but this school is famous for it's research and hospital. My question is, is it worth paying the price for this school for both its reputation and convenience? Or would it make more sense to go the economical route?
