That makes me feel a lot more comfortable knowing that bit of information, truly. Thanks a lot!

Here's a little story all about how my life got flipped--turned upside down: I did one year in mechanical engineering, and I really did not like it, so I switched to biomedical engineering. I really enjoyed the medical aspect but came to hate engineering entirely. That's when I thought about switching majors out of engineering. I enjoyed biology and anatomy (which I took in biomed), the medical field, and I really wanted to do something meaningful, so I thought, "nursing, yes." So here I am in a predicament; my GPA is too low now (2.7) due to math and physics courses to be accepted into most nursing programs in my area. They take the GPA of all classes I have into account when applying to nursing school, not just prerequisites. If I received all A's for every prerequisite for 2 years, the maximum GPA I would obtain is roughly 3.3. I can't afford to go to most schools in which prerequisites are the only classes accounted for having wasted 2 years of tuition in engineering. There is only one school in my area in which I can obtain a BSN from now that I can afford, Mercy College of Ohio, but I am really uncertain as to how good of a school it really is. It's a specialty school with only 8 majors, all of which are in the health field. It is also accredited. My question is: Would attending a small, lesser known college for a BSN affect my chances in getting a job? I do plan to obtain a Masters degree eventually from somewhere else also. Also, I have thought about potentially getting an ADN from this school, then going into a RN-BSN program, but really I don't have a clue. Any help, advice, or opinions are welcome and very much appreciated.
