Accreditation/ Job Opportunities

Published

I am a Pre-Nursing student at a community college with a 3.0 GPA. I am in my last semester of prerequisites but I am concerned about being able to being accepted into programs in my state (Florida). I have heard of the Ultimate Medical Academy in Tampa and I am wondering if their graduates are able to sit for the NCLEX, find jobs in other States and able to move on to achieve their BSN.

It took a little digging on their website, but it appears that this school does not have the appropriate CCNE or NLN accreditation. You should be able to take NCLEX (if you jump through all their other hoops), but as far as furthering your education, you should probably consider other schools.

Also, just their name sounds fake. I wouldn't put that on my resume, even if everything else about them sounded legit. And it doesn't. Run!

I looked at the website more, and can't stress this enough: RUN! High-cost, no real accreditation, and that should tell you enough. Get the best grades you can in this semester of pre-reqs to increase your chances of getting into a real, accredited school.

Thank you for that advice. I plan to move out of State after I finish school so I don't want any problems with jobs or continuing education.
