AS to BSN help pick a school

I have worked in many different settings within the healthcare field, and obviously I have worked with many great nurses. One thing I can say for certain is that the school doesn't make a nurse, the person makes the nurse. Obviously the better the educational opportunities the more educational opportunities the student nurse can have; however, I have seen crappy nurses come out of good programs and great nurses come out of terrible programs. What matters most is if the person is capable and willing to push themselves to be the best in the field. You don't become a great nurse right out of nursing school, you become great because you work hard at it and learn from your mistakes. All new nurses make mistakes and must learn from them. Since nursing school usually has a long waiting list and isn't the easiest to get in make the choice simple choose the one with the best educational opportunities and she is accepted to. I know I may have rambled here; however, focus on the person and not the school.
