Greetings all! I am a 24 yr. old college graduate with the intention of pursuing a nursing career. I am currently enrolling in the necessary prereqs. in my local city this upcoming semester, and I was wondering how, if at all, the location of nursing school programs (and school itself), affects job prospects, post-graduation. Does it matter where one attend/graduates from in terms of job opportunity within the residing city or state in which they graduate? In other words, is there a nursing-grad "pipeline" between schools and health-care sectors within the state (presuming they pass the NCLEX and have no-connections within the HC field?) I ask because in terms of law schools, for instance, it doesnt matter where you go to law school per say, just make sure you graduate from an institution in the state you wish to practice. I am curious if there is any semblance in the nursing field, and how difficult it may be to find jobs in different regions of the country. I also understand that everything varies in context! Thanks for your help! And thanks for everyone's participation on this wonderful website. An invaluable resource to say the least! Chris
