help!

I'm so happy I found this bulletin/message board! I hope that I can connect with current nursing students and RNs. I have so many questions. For now I'll start with requesting advice from anyone who could tell me if they recommend Rutgers College of Nursing in Newark. I currently attend Rutgers College of Arts and Sciences and plan to transfer next year (god willing). Does anyone know anything about the main nursing school accreditation entities? I read on line that if you receive your bachelors degree from a nursing college that is not accredited by NLNAC (National League of Nursing Accrediting Commission) chances are you will not be accepted into a graduate program that is accredited, for instance like New York University's College of Nursing. Is that true? Thanks in advance for anyone who can advise me. Have a happy holiday.

Rutgers College of Nursing has been around since 1940--they must be doing something right!

I've attended CEU programs there --EXCELLENT QUALITY!

My maters program educators graduated from there in 70's and both fantastic nurses.

You are correct--will find it more difficult to attend a Masters program if BSN not accredited by one of the organizations listed in link below. Source of scholarship info and accredited schools can be found at
