Has anyone heard of LPN school called Nexcare Institute? - page 2

That's because Wayne State has CCNE accreditation, not NLNAC.

On the other hand, v. few LPN programs are NLNAC accredited, period, regardless of the quality or legitimacy of the program.

Your right! Everybody has to do what they have to do for themselves! What school do you attend again?

does anyone know any other information about this? I am interested in doing an LPN program to get my LPN and I want to do it as soon as possible. Thanks so much!

Thanks for this information! I am definitely going to look into this and apply! I have been trying to go the RN or BSN route but it seems like they are so competitive and there aren't enough schools to go around. I am constantly worrying about everything when it comes to nursing and I just want to get a good start already!!

Thanks MsBac I've printed off all the information and I'm looking into it now.
