I applied to 5 schools as well. Did either of you apply to Touro College? They are transitioning to a BSN program this summer and I already got my acceptance.

I had no idea! Are they accredited?

Evadney77 · Mar 5, 2013

They aren't accredited and I fear jobs won't recognize a school that isn't.

Touro? They are accredited right now as an ADN program and the BSN program accrediation will be awarded in June.

They are accredited by the department of education but not the ccne or the nlnac.

Saw that and now Touro has their website set up is very misleading. *ALL* places of higher/secondary education must be accredited by NYS in order to be legally open and accept students. Saying they are accredited by the State means something but not that much.

Thanks for looking that up. I am not sure how much that weights and what changes when the accreditation goes through in June. I do know that their graduates have gotten jobs at top hospitals from people that do not work at the school. They are on rolling admissions so I applied just to have another option and I heard back within 2-3 weeks.
