[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another nurse here...now I am an NP and work in a great setting.  Just want to point out that the job market has changed so much since I graduated in 2006.  Lots of RNs who were staying at home or who would have retired are either back at work or still working, so the market is more competitive than it was.  The main difference is between BSN and ADN so I agree with PP that as long as she gets a BSN she will be okay.

I think if you can swing the difference she should, 1, choose the school that seems like the best fit for her, and 2, think about what she might wind up doing down the road.[b]  If she is considering grad school eventually, then I think the undergrad does matter.[/b]  For the job market, it's not that it makes a huge difference, although I think it matters more than it did 8-10 years ago.[/quote]

Grad school in nursing?  No, nursing undergrad doesn't matter unless you are going to an online program.  But let's say U of Maryland vs. Hopkins.  It won't make ANY difference in nursing grad school admissions if you had decent grades in undergrad.  
Nursing grad school is ultimately NOT difficult to get into.  Even the top programs.  I work in admissions (and am an RN) at a "top 10" in the US program and have friends/colleagues who do my job at other schools.
