working after graduation

I'm currently doing prereqs and applying to Seton Hall, UMDNJ, Utah, and possibly california. Reason being, i want to go to school and work where i went to school. Question? Is it better to go to a school in the area where i want to work? I want to do seton hall because it starts this sept and i'll be done oct of 2012. I don't want to work in NJ though, i want out of nj asap; thats why im thinking it might be better to go to school where i want to work. I'll be doing clinicals in hospitals and getting to know the hospitals throughout my schooling. I want to work in trauma, er's, icu, I want the adrenaline rush of nursing. So is it a better idea to go to a school where i want to work right after school? I think it may be better since i would already be working with the hospitals there and may land a job immediately after school. any help with this would be nice. thank you all.

    I can see you're going to be a great nurse - you're already exhibiting some major critical thinking skills!

    You are absolutely correct. By attending a school that is located in the area you want to live, you will have a much better chance of landing that important first job. During your clinical rotations, make sure you get to know the nurse managers of units in which you have your practicums. Be the best student they have ever seen & make sure that they know you are interested in working there after graduation.

    Best of Luck!
