Does where you get your MSN matter?

[travelnurse79]

Hello,

I am a nurse looking to get my MSN in administration/ leadership. My work offers tuition reimbursement ($5,250/yr) to 10 schools  and I am trying to decide if I shoud play more out of pocket for a bigger name school or go with the more cost effective school(both accredited brick and mortar state schools, not Ivy League) Does it matter where your MSN comes from or  is that irrelevant? should I go for the school that is cheaper?  In your experience does where you got your master’s degree make a difference? Thanks!

To answer the original question, in my experience what school doesn't matter much. I've found at Kaisers in Socal, many have degrees from UOP and other for profit schools. Actually, many of those who attended certain schools didn't have an advantage over others. 

I hope you get guidance that is pertinent to your position and your region.
