accreditation ccne vs nlnac?

[highbunny]

I am new to this forum so please excuse me if I have posted this in the wrong category. I recently graduated and got my adn degree and I have been searching for rn-bsn programs. I would like to further my education after bachelor's and get msn. What worries me is does it matter what your bsn degree was accredited by for msn? For example, if i get my bsn from nlnac accredited university, would I be able to go for msn from ccne accredited school?

NLNAC is now called ACEN. ACEN accredits LPN, Diploma, ASN programs, BSN programs (and I think, MSN programs). CCNE only accredits BSN, MSN and doctoral programs. They are considered equivalent certifications, meaning that other schools and employers look at both of them pretty much equally.

I agree with the previous poster. Most graduate degree level (MSN and Ph.D) programs will accept baccalaureate degree education from a program that had national nursing accreditation from the ACEN or CCNE. Accreditation from both entities is seen as valid and legitimizing in the realm of nursing education.
