Hello, everyone!
I have a question that I hope isn't too confusing or stupid. I found two nursing schools that I am interested in attending in my area for a BSN. One is ACEN accredited and the other is CCNE. I know that both accreditations are fine, especially since I'm only planning on getting my BSN right now and right now I'm leaning towards the school that is ACEN accredited. However, I would like to get my MSN down the line, maybe even my DNP. I'm find most MSN and DNP programs in my area are CCNE accredited, not ACEN. So my questions is, if I want to enroll in a CCNE accredited graduate program, will I need a BSN from a CCNE accredited school or does it not matter? Thank you for your time and I'm sorry if this doesn't make sense or if it's a dumb question. I've been looking stuff up online and I'm just confused.
