I work in health care consulting. It’s a booming field as you might imagine. The top companies tend to hire kids from the top schools. New grads are often hired at consulting companies - and nursing grades (as well as pharm grads) would be valued for their base healthcare knowledge. Of course, said grad would also have to have the ability to learn in-depth information about drugs, diseases, or medical devices - obviously there are smart kids everywhere but consulting companies often favor the grads from top schools because it looks good to their clients. It’s the same reason some private schools tend to only hire teachers with degrees from fancy schools - it impresses their “clientele.” Not saying it’s right or wrong, just saying it is what it is.
