is that the employer caring which college i graduated from for practical nursing?

I hear George Brown has a good name for employers but Centennial is nearby my house. So how I select it? please help! thanks!

Select the school based on their NCLEX pass rate, clinical experiences, their reputation, and accreditation.

If the school near your home is reputable with successful NCLEX rates, personally, I would choose that school.

Specializes in Critical Care, ED, Cath lab, CTPAC,Trauma.

multiple thread merged as per the TOS

Specializes in Public Health.

They both have really good programs, from what I have heard!

Both also have very high pass rates on the CPNRE according to the CNO website.

Good luck!

Some employers will care, some won't. The thing is, you just never know when what school you attended is suddenly going to matter. As a general rule, you should attend the "best" school (best reputation, best results) you can.

Most employers are concerned with your clear license status and whether or not you have nursing work experience.
