I am currently 5 months away from completing my 2 year ADN nursing degree.(Community College RN) I have applied to a big four year college to finish my final year in order to complete my BSN. The yearly tuition will be about $13,000. There is also the option of going to a private college that is very well known in the medical field but the tuition will be about $16,000. I am currently thinking about scrapping the major school idea and going the online route with a cheaper option. (WGU) However, I want the option to one day apply to a CRNA program possibly. So my debate is: 1. Will I be getting a better education with the big names school? 2. Will the college name on my BSN affect my chances at getting into an ICU? 3. Will the college name on my BSN affect my chances at getting into a CRNA program after a couple of years in the ICU? I have done a bit of research on what it takes to get into a CRNA program, but I have not read much the "Where did you graduate" topic. I know this is more than one topic to discuss but any input would be helpful.
