I know this has been brought up before, but am looking to see if anyone has new info. Wayne County Community College is not accredited, with NLN, that is confirmed. Most Community Colleges in Southeastern Michigan are. I called the WCCCD Nursing department and inquired, they told me that national accreditation is not required only that they are accredited by the Michgan Board of Nursing. I also checked and determined that if Iwent into this program my education would be worthless in some states, since they do not have the National accreditation. I am concerned. I spoke with a friend who is in the Nursing Program at U of M, and was telling me they had a few students that came from WCCCD, and there nursing classes would not transfer to credits, because the lack of national recognition.
I am thinking I may just go to U of M and take out loans, and so forth, to pay for school, I would rather be safe than stuck with a Associates, that may not transfer well when I leave the state. If I am off, and have gotten bad information, please correct me, I would like to think WCCCD, is a decent school, why would they not be accredited, I heard they lost it back in 2001 or 2002, its been 4-5 years.
Why not reaccredited? Again any thoughts, good or bad.
CCNE is for accreditation for BSN programs not ADN. The only accreditation that matters is the State Board. I don't think it would make a difference if you go on to get you MSN or CRNA. All CRNA programs require a BSN so I think that would cancel out your ADN interfering with any possible admission into a CRNA program.
