Apollo College Associates Degree Program

Thanks everyone for your replies...I appreciate them. I must say a few more things.
1. Exercising impulse control has no bearing on this matter. Leaving a career of 15+ years and going back to school for a completely new one has been a huge decision and one that involves MANY factors....none of which are "impulses" or "lack of patience".
2. I am looking into schools in other states....less expensive, community colleges with shorter waits.
3. I will not be staying in AZ after graduation..moving back to the East Coast/NY area....Relocating for a job is the plan.
4. YES, a 3 year period before I am able to begin a nursing program is THAT BAD. Add another 2+ years to graduate?? Not a viable option for me at this point in my life. I need to get a degree, pass the boards and start working.

Kf15: I'm posting as fast as I can. I look forward to speaking with you, but I don't understand why you were on the floor if you just went through the program...Because tuition is now $6000 more than you paid? Can't wait to hear the details.

2. Assuming I pass the NCLEX, will I have any problems relocating to another state? I realize all states have their own criteria for licensing...
3. Will the lack of NLNAC and CCNE accreditation prevent me from working in any particular place?

1. no
2. no
3. no

I'm a little confused. If your answer to #3 is NO, then what accreditation should I be looking for in an associates degree program??
