I am getting ready to graduate an associates nursing program and have been looking into where I am going to enroll for my bachelors degree. I have started the process to enroll in a known university in the state that I live in but have had many people talk to me about going through Western Governors University online because it is inexpensive and you can go at your own pace so it can go as fast or slow as you would like. My worries about Western Governors is that it is a pass/fail program and although it works in the area I live in, I want to move to a larger city and am worried that I won't be competitive if my degree is from there. Is there any difference in where you get your BSN?

I am getting ready to graduate from nursing school this month. The hospital in the area that I live in has recently started a transition into specialty care internship for new graduate nurses. I have applied for the Emergency Department internship and they will be holding interviews soon. I currently work as a CNA in that ER and have for the past 2.5 years, I have received both positive and negative comments from co-workers and instructors on this new position. What are the thoughts of other nurses out there on new graduate nurses in specialty areas?
