Brown Mackie Holding me back again.


I applied to Clarian Health Network in Indiana, and I was told that due to my practical nursing dimploma being from Brown Mackie I cannot work for their organization. I knew Brown Mackie had its challanges with it accreditation, but I guess I never realized it would hold me back once I was a nurse. I am so upset . My experience should be what limits me, not the school I attended. I can understand Clarian's viewpoint, but man this just stinks!

I'm sorry for the troubles you've encountered.

My practical/vocational nursing diploma is also from a school that is not regionally accredited, yet I have never had any problems finding work as an LPN. I suppose this only becomes a problem if you work in a selective and competitive job market.

I'm so sorry. I attended Brown Mackie briefly, don't you wish they warned us about this in their orientation. i'm sure there's places that will still take you that may not be ideal, perhaps after a safe employment they will overlook the Brown mackie scar. Again, I'm really sorry
