This is what most job offerings are requiring. Note the first on the list of demands.
You may not be able to transfer your credits from an unaccredited school. You should go to an accredited school. And further more you may have issues getting your license and will put in all that time and effort for nothing.
And to answer your question but an employer would most likely hire a BSN from an accredited school versus an ASN from an unaccredited school. So why shut yourself out?

Ok so... I plan on getting an associates degree from a school that is not accredited by CCEE or NLNAC. I do plan to further my education with a bachelors degree where I can transfer my credits and it is approved by NLNAC. I know there are many employers that will only hire RNs that graduated from an accredited programs, but what degree do they look at? Will the look at where I got my associates or my bachelors?
