Will my psych RN experience make up for the school I go to? (Chamberlain PMHNP program), or should I switch schools?

[letsgetlost990]

Background.

Psych nurse for 5 years inpatient, will have 7 years of inpatient experience by the end of my program as I'm still working while going to school.

I honestly love psych, I don't see myself working anywhere else. I'm passionate to the point where I'm mostly reading patho, psychopharm, and neuroscience books outside of my course curriculum just to have an advantage in my education, even though I'm still in my "fluff" nursing research/nursing theory classes for Chamberlain.

I currently go to Chamberlain with their new-ish PMHNP program.

I chose Chamberlain because they do have robust support for students from what I've seen so far, also my hospital system helps pay for tuition. If I play my cards right with managing my finances, I can graduate without having to take any loans.

As for the program quality, it honestly seems fine so far.

-------------------

Unfortunately, I was not aware of the concept of "diploma mills" and that they could be a drawback when it comes to hiring, which is what I see as a barrier to getting an interview according to some threads on reddit.

It seem to see a lot of different threads with some saying their employers will toss out any resumes from these diploma mill schools, while others saying they've gone to schools/known people who went to these schools and still had no issues finding employment.

I guess I'm trying to figure out what my next moves are here?

I'm in IL, and I'm not sure what the actual layout is when it comes to how employers here view these schools.

Will I have a really hard time finding a job two years from now after I graduate?

Will employers overlook that I went to Chamberlain as I have years of actual psych RN experience and an actual passion for the field?

Or should I consider transferring schools if employment barriers are actually that much of an issue? I'm still early in my program but transferring seems like it can be such a pain in the butt. But if it could potentially be that big of a deal then it's something I would be willing to do.

I'd hate to go through school and graduate, as well as put in all this extra work to get ahead just for employers to not even consider me because of my school. Or is this something that I'm just overthinking and is an overblown issue?

All advice is welcome.
