I am a senior in high school and I think I have decided Nurse Practitioner over Physician Assistant. I will be applying for colleges in the fall and I am not sure if pursuing the BSN degree (MSN later) is better at state colleges or universities.
I originally wanted to go to UC Davis or UC Irvine, but I don't think they have a BSN program. Please correct me if I'm wrong because I have been dreaming to go to one of those UCs. However, I will sacrifice whatever it takes to be an NP.
I have done my research and found that these colleges have a nursing program. Please help choose the BEST college out there for me! I ruled out UCSD or UCLA because I doubt I will make it in with a (10-11th grade cumulative) 3.54 gpa.
Universities (If you're sure it offers nursing.):
Davis
Irvine
State Colleges:
CSU Los Angeles
CSU Sacramento
San Diego State
San Francisco State
San Jose State
This is extremely long, but it will be my future.

My advice to you would be to go to the schools you are interested in attending and meet with a counselor. Find out which one has what you are looking for and base your decision on that. Your GPA is pretty good so you shouldn't have a problem there. Good luck to you.

I am not a nurse but look long and hard at Sonoma State University (small and intimate) check out this site: http://www.sonoma.edu/nursing/ or San Francisco State (very well known) I know a nurse who got her BSN, MSN, and PhD. in Nursing at UCSF. (University of California San Francisco). Now she is a M.D., specializing in pre-natal surgery!
