I recently got accepted to La Salle University in Philadelphia with a huge scholarship as a nursing major. I am beyond happy as I feel like becoming an RN will be a satisfying and stable career to go into. However, I fear that my prospective school may not be as great as I expected.
Despite my average academic performance, albeit I took rigorous classes, the scholarship I received is far more than I expected any college to give to me. This makes me feel like the program isn't as selective as others, thus making it seem less reputable.
Furthermore, I'm worried that I might not be able to find a job after graduating due to the college's lack of name value.
The nursing program is fully accredited and certified by the ACEN, but my biggest fear is diving into a school that won't get me a job.
I don't mind moving out of state for a job, however.
So, will RNs be able to find a job regardless of where they got their undergrad degree? Or should I transfer while I'm at La Salle?
since my previous post was deleted, i'll just share that the assistant dean of la salle emailed me back this morning and told me that in my cohort that graduated this past december, 93.7% of us have passed the boards on the first try!
I am hoping to start the Achieve program next fall, can you share any info about your time in the program? Do you feel the education was well rounded? Also, when all was said and done what was your final total for tuition if possible?
