thanks for the fast replies and the welcome. I know that she wants to move down, she would have come with me initially but because of the "NYS degree is better" info we've been told she stayed back in Buffalo when i 1st moved here. It's good to get some information from people actually in the field rather than someone who may be biased towards keeping the student at their school. I've been checking out the rest of the site and i'm definetly going to refer her here also, i know she would enjoy reading a lot of the threads.

I'm not really sure where on this forum this kind of question would go so if it needs to be moved just let me know..... Here's the situation: Last August i moved from Buffalo, NY to Philadelphia for a great job opportunity, the downside is that my g/f had to stay back in Buffalo because she likes her school and just now finished her Junior year of school (will graduate dec. 07). She wants to move down here now & transfer to a school down here but her current advisors keep telling her that a New York State degree is worth its weight in gold, that she can instantly work in any state without having to take licensing exams and that if she transferred and got a Pennsylvania degree it wouldn't be as good and that she would need to take separate state exams to get licenced should we move again. Is this accurate or are her advisors exaggerating so that she stays at their school? :angryfire Also, if anyone else is in the philly area what are some better nursing schools to research, get info on transferring??
