Hello Kaley,
I don't think it really matters as long as you make sure the program offers a rotation in an NICU and gives you a Bachelors of Science in Nursing when you graduate (which you will want down the line as you progress along in your career). I went to San Jose State University, Calif. and was able to do a rotation in the NICU at San Jose Med Center which was awesome. I worked then worked in an adult ICU/CCU for 5 years before going back to school for my Masters in Nursing and got my NP license. I then worked in both Cardiology and Internal Medicine, specializing in Congestive Heart Failure. Best career ever!

The only nursing school I hear people talk about is Gwynedd mercy in Pennsylvania. But over all I don't think it really matters, the problem with nursing school from what I learned and it applies to public servant jobs is that they tend to eat their young and that culture is dying out thank goodness!
With that being said, look for a good nursing school, not one that's gonna chew you up and spit you out. Look for one that suits you, that you can afford because after about 2 years or do employers stop caring about what school you went too
