Does GPA matter after graduating?

[springgarden]

I am going to a CC for my nursing. One of my teachers said in class that grades at a CC does not really matter since you transfer credits not grades to a 4 Yr college. But don't schools look at the grades you earn to determine who they'll take or are they after your payment of tuition?

As I plan on getting a BSN later, do I need to still be concerned about the grades I get or should just passing be OK with me?

Do 4 Yr schools look at grades or just the fact that one is an ADN?

Do employers look at graduating GPA, whether you graduate as a PTK member and all that stuff?

Thanks

I just wanted to add that when I applied for new grad positions (I graduate in 22 days!) I had to send a copy of my transcripts with each application so employers do see the grades (of course it depends on where you apply but I would rather have good grades and not 'need' them than the other way around when application time comes)

In our BSN school, the grades do NOT transfer over, BUT the college of nursing uses your pre-requisite course GPA to decide whether you meet the minimum requirements (2.5 gpa, but the actual admissions cutoff was 3.55)
