No, as long as the college is accredited. Personally, I feel that too much emphasis is on scholastic learning and many new grads are not equipped/trained to do bedside nursing. Especially if they are coming from a non-medical background or no clinical experience outside of what is required by the school.
In the job training is not reasonable once employed as there is already a staffing crisis
No, I don’t believe it makes a huge impact as long as it is an accredited school. I would look at each place you are interested in with their NCLEX pass rates. I think that is a good indicator of you being more prepared for the examination. I started as ADN and moved my way up in education with the help of my employee tuition reimbursement program.
I did a Bridge program in California. I went from a hands on brick and mortar ADN to a brick and mortar state University. 1998. the lectures were a mess. The Doctorate level professors were generally like cats when it came to getting along. Anyway, I believe a standardized online program that is designed by true educators would have more consistent results and be far more pleasant. Everyone worked and we all had a hell of a time driving to classes and seminars on top of full time work. OK, we did have a few practicums that were arranged by the school. That part was good but basically I felt the students were far better nurses than the academics who taught us.
No. HR only wants to know that you really graduated and passed boards.
No, I don't believe that it matters what college you get your degree from as long as it is an accredited school of nursing.
