Is graduating from a community college looked down upon?

Hello Everyone,

Im currently a sophomore at FSU, majoring in nursing, I intend to apply to a CRNA program, and want to as competative as possible. Due to a financial situation at home, I beleive that attending a local community college would be best for me and my family. Luckily for me, my community college offers a BSN program. Will graduating from a local community college be looked down upon by CRNA programs? If it is, then Ill stick it out and get my bsn from FSU. If it isnt, then I beleive that there's no way to cant justify paying so much more for a BSN at FSU than at MDC. All comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

My BSN was not from a community college, but my AS and most of my prereqs were from community colleges and I was never questioned about it. I've heard of people getting in with BSNs from places like UOP, Excelsior, etc... so I guess it depends on the school but I wouldn't worry too much.

Community colleges do not grant BSN's. As for the other schools suggested, I'd tread carefully in that territory. You need a BSN from a fully accredited school.

Miami Dade College does. They began spring 08. I have found the answer to my question by calling up a few nursing anesthesia schools, and they say that it doesnt really make a difference where you get your BSN from, as long as its accredited and you do well. Thanks for your help everyone.

It just depends on what school you plan on applying to. I know its easier to get into most schools CRNA programs if you already graduated from their BSN program.
