Does the name of the school matter?

Does the name of the school matter when it comes to finding a job or gaining admission to a graduate program? I have applied to 4 ABSN programs for Spring 2018. So far, I've been accepted to 2 and think I'll at least get into one other. I'm having difficulty choosing which offer to accept. One of the school has name recognition and a great reputation. Unfortunately, it is about 13 hours away from home (and lots of family to help watch our 6 week old twins). The other 2 are also schools with great programs which happen to be much much closer to family.

I would like to keep my options open in terms of going to grad school and furthering my education/career. Right now, my main concern is making the right decision for my new family, getting good grades (in whichever program), and finding my first job.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

    For a BSN, I've never found that the name recognition of the school you go to matters a great deal - unless it has a specifically bad reputation. A school that has a good program but may not be widely known should be fine. I personally went to a program like that and got into grad school just fine.
