Re: Job placement for Indiana RNs from non NLNAC or CCNE accredited programs
I'm sorry you were not aware of the importance of NLNAC or CCNE accreditation. Some of the hospitals will not accept an LPN or RN who has graduated from a college without this accreditation. And with the job market as tight as it is, would an employer take a graduate from a NLNAC accreditated school or a non-accreditated school? The accreditation is like the gold standard - just like JCAHO. I would never go to a facility that was not JCAHO accreditated. There are places for employment, but more than likley long term care. I'm not sure what you want to do regarding where you want to work. Another issue is that your credits at this school more than likely won't transfer, the nursing ones won't at least, so then you'd have to start back at square one. There is a lot to think about, but it's a chance you take to stay in your current program.
