My question is to stay competitive does it really matter where you get your degree as long as you come out with a BSN and a good GPA? I'm stuck as to what I should do. Should I just take my general classes and prerequisites until she gets discharged so I can transfer into a more reputable program or should I just get started?
It shouldn't matter when it comes to getting a job as an RN. But obviously make sure you do well in your classes because if you want to apply to CRNA schools someday, they will of course look at your UGPA, but they probably won't care too much about the school unless you decide to go to a top "ivy league" school where politics usually plays a role.
Does the school really matter?
