"Best" nursing school for masters or NP.? Tried WGU. I want to learn more.

Man that was hard trying to fit a tidbit into the title, haha. So I'm curious of anyone's experience at any school they went to or the experiences with nurses/instructors from specific schools. I'm basically hoping to hear something like, "My instructor went to School 505 and she knows everything," or "My co-worker also went to School 505 and she's incredible." I know there's the school ratings of the top schools but is it because they are actually taught more and know more or what?

Essentially, I hope to be able to walk out of a program with knowledge that I didn't get from watching Youtube videos on the disease process. I don't even know if this is possible because I hated that our BSN program was all theory and nothing about what diseases and info we could teach our patients. I'm one of those people that want to know "everything" in a disease process. So when I studied for the NCLEX it was hard because I wanted to go in depth about why the mitochondria could affect the heart in heart failure (yes I know nothing related hah but just as example of the depth I was interested in). I would happily make the attempt to be a doctor but I absolutely love our schedules as nurses too much.

I tried WGU. I don't mind it one bit and can finish it in 1-2 semesters if I wanted (had to drop out for a term for family/financial reasons last year). BUT if the education or informatics and what not is the same as the expensive schools, I'll happily go there again for less money. But if St. John's Wort's School leaves you with so much information to prepare you as an instructor, I would love to know that too and I would attempt to go to a school similar rather than online.

Will I learn more from going to the #1 rated nursing school versus an online such as WGU? Or is no one teaching disease processes anyway and it's all about theory that I could care less about?
