School At Risk for Losing Accrediation

Nursing Students General Students

Published

I am currently a student a BSN program in FL. Our school is up for accreditation next year and it is rumored it is at risk for being on probation due to low nclex scores. For the past three years we have never had a pass rate over the mid 70's our lowest pass rate was 60 percent one year. We are CCNE certified. If this occurs and I graduate from the school when it is on probation, and it loses accreditation after I graduate, will this prevent me from getting into a CRNA/graduate nursing program?

Basically, if my school loses accreditation after graduating from the program, will graduate programs still consider the fact I've graduated from the program when it was still accredited?

Do they look to see if your program was on probation when you graduated? Does that have an effect?

Thanks everyone!

If the school is accredited at the time you graduate, it will be OK. If those pass rates are accurate, it sounds like they are pretty much doomed but that won't have any retro-active impact upon you.
