Pre-nursing BSN Program Ratings

[autumnbujtor]

Hi I am trying to figure out which of the following colleges have the best BSN four year program for the money. I am not too worried about campus conveniences etc. I am most interested in NCLEX pass rates of graduates, graduation rates, job placement upon graduation, and more importantly which programs do employers prefer to hire from.

I have done plenty of research of the top hundred schools in the country on Forbes etc bestnursingdegree.com and similar sites. I have not found any sites that really compare them in depth and to especially get feed back from employers on their preferred graduate.

San Francisco State University

Sonoma State University

San Jose State University

San Diego State University

University of Colorado at Colorado Springs

University of Northern Colorado

University of Colorado Denver

Colorado State University at Fort Collins

Thank you in advance for your advice.

Does anyone know where I can go to find out if there are BSN programs preferred by employers? Or does it not matter, which is what it seems....

It's hard to believe all programs are equal!

I haven't heard anything from employers about their preference of college, but when they are familiar with you and your class, that makes a difference. You could always call potential employers and ask, but I would imagine you'll get as many answers as you do voices. Don't overthink it!
