Hi, I am currently a nursing student at Rasmussen college in Blaine. I am in my first semester of the nursing program and am planning to graduate with my associate degree 12/16. I have had different thoughts on this school and I'm not sure what to do. For one, i found out the nursing program itself is not accredited in any way, but the school is accredited by the higher learning commission, will that have an impact on me getting a hospital job at all when i graduate? I started doing some research on hospital qualifications for nurses and all of them say "graduate from an accredited school of nursing" so I'm not sure if they mean the school or the program. Also, i found out most of our clinicals, except for one, all take place in TCU's and nursing homes and not in hospitals, also none of which are in the twin cities. Will that have an impact on job opportunities at well? I'm conflicted as to whether i should stick to this program or if i should get a bachelors degree in something else ( i can go back to another university and get my public health degree and graduate 12/16) and do a post bachelor or masters of nursing program that is accredited.
