Looking for Placement/Employment Stats for Schools

[DogWmn]

Something recently came up about placement stats. Do you know of any schools that have this info? I know schools track their NCLEX pass rates, but I've never seen a school post their placement rates. In this time of uncertainty, I though that would be interesting to find out if they track this information.

After all you could go to a very prestigious BSN program, pass the NCLEX but still be unemployed. Or you could go to an ADN program pass the NCLEX and get a job right out the the gate and vise versa.

With all the talk of the nursing shortage myth, I'm wondering if going to the "right school" is also important, or is it more who you know and what area of the country you are in?

I don't, but after that new ed law that they're putting into place in 2012 comes out (where schools have to prove to the feds that they're churning out grads that are finding gainful employment), I have a suspicion you'll start seeing lots more of it....
