Is it worth it?

Is it worth it to go to a college across the country(that is my top choice school) if they have a very competitive, but very good upper division nursing program?

What would you do if don't get in and staying an extra year isn't an option? I know transferring is an option but would it be worth it to attend that school in the first place?

I just want to know your opinions or experiences if you were/are facing a similar dilemma!

Thanks guys [emoji4]

    What are your other options? Your alma mater isn't a major deciding factor in the job market, but having a BSN will make a difference over an ADN. Also look at the costs- tuition, living expenses, books, cost of living, etc. Don't go crazy into debt if you have other options.

    The only reason I would move all the way across the country for a school would be if I were going to save a whole crap load of money. Otherwise, a nursing degree is a nursing degree

    Another consideration. If you intend to move back 'home' after you graduate, attending an out-of-area school would be a huge disadvantage. Local graduates always have the home court advantage when it comes to snagging those new graduate jobs.

    Thanks for your responses! I actually want to go to an out of state school, and I don't really plan on moving back to my state after I graduate. So I guess wherever I go I'm probably going to stay in that area. I'm also looking at schools relatively closer to home that have a direct entry freshman program, but the out of state school is my number one choice. It has other classes that I would like to take for electives and stuff and a reasonable tuition. Thanks for your input I really appreciate it[emoji4]
