What school to go to?

by cjane

Do employers prefer if you go to college, vocational school or getting your licence from a hospital or does it really make a difference? I was thinking of going to Baptist to get my license but I want to make sure that other employers besides the Baptist system will accept a licence from them. I know you have to take the test from the state to get licensed anyway but I don't know if employers also take into consideration where you received your schooling.

Hey cjane. Just wanted to let you know that I have a friend that just graduated from the RN program at Baptist and is now working in L&D at Methodist hospital here in San Antonio.

Most employers really don't care where you attended nursing school, and many do not have the time to be too selective. Their primary concern is that you're a warm body with a license who is prepared to fill their staffing needs.
