Is Capella University a good choice for masters in nursing education?

[LaborRN3]

I'm looking into getting my masters in nursing education and my hospital has a partnership with Capella making it the hands down most affordable option. I have some concerns though because it's an online for profit school and accepts nearly everyone. They are CCNE accredited, which I would think makes the degree and program legit, but I was hoping to hear from people who graduated from there and if their degree held up to those with degrees from traditional non profit schools. The person I talked with on the phone was very nice and explained the program to me without trying any sales pitches or pressure to start right away. Any insight would be helpful. Thanks.

Also remember if a university is NOT a state school, it is for profit, including Ivy league schools. FYI

This is not quite true. There are many private schools that are not for profit. Just because they aren't part of a state university system does not mean they are automatically for-profit institutions.

When you are qualified to do the job not many people care what school you went to. I will just say enjoy your life and do what's best for you. As of Friday I will be a proud graduate of the MSN program and couldn't be happier

What do you mean by that? How are you defining "for profit"? There are many private nonprofit colleges and universities in the US, including some of the best schools in the country. (There are no for-profit schools in the Ivy League ...)
