yea i know i wouldn't have to go the full 4 years. i have my ba in english (don't ask me why) and i know i have a few of the needed classes, which is how/why i'd do an accelerated program. i could apply for drexel's program, but it's expensive, cheaper then it'd be for me to go all 4 years, but still expensive. that's why i wanted to know if it matters where you get the degree from. community is cheap, but do nurses who graduate from there receive the same amount of job opportunities and pay as the ones who graduate from a well known/respected school do?

This may be a dumb question, but, if i were to go to lets say community college and get my bsn there would i have a harder time finding a job after graduation. I've looked into other programs (Drexel's accelerated 11 month program) but it is very very expensive. I would assume it would look better on my resume to say I went to Drexel...but is a degree a degree no matter where you get it? Or does the reputation of a school play a huge role?

I didn't know if it was strange for someone to do that but I guess it makes sense. How else would you learn about it? Thanks!!!!

So I've been doing a lot of research for going back to school for a nursing degree. A lot of nurses I talk to just go off about what they do and where they went to school...It has done nothing but confuse me and lead me into more dark tunnels. At this point I don't know what to do, where to go, who to ask, and I was wondering what you all did to get yourselves started for nursing school. Did you email professors at colleges? Did you go to career centers? How'd you do it?!!?? I really appreciate any type of response. Thanks!!!!!
