question for you all

[i-heartnursing]

im from the east, but ever since a visit to (ashland) oregon when i was little, ive always wanted to return and even settle down there. i am going to either the university of pennsylvania or Drexel, and i was told if i wanted to settle in oregon, that it would be better to have gone to the penn than drexel because its a better name. the issue of concern is cost, and whether or not its worth it to go to the more expensive school. i am getting a scholarship to drexel. penn is feasible, with loans, but in your opinion, would i get a better job in oregon because penn is more a recognizable name, and a better-paying job, had i gone to penn? im so desperate for ways to help me make this decision, that the future is important to me (in case you're wondering why im asking psycho questions)

It seems out here in Oregon when you've got your RN and have graduated from an accredited school, it doesn't matter what school it is. Expensive or prominant doesn't necessarily mean a better program. I would investigate both schools, see if you can find out from current or past students what they think of them, and make the decision based on what seems will fit best and work the best for you.

The most important thing is that when you graduate, that YOU feel the school you chose prepared you well for your career. Nursing school is a demanding experience and it makes it a lot easier if you are in a school that you like. It's who you are and the unique qualities that you have that will get you hired, not the name of the school you attended.

Good luck with everything and have fun in whatever nursing program you choose. :)
