accredited and non accredited

i notice there are a few schools where i'm staying that are not NLN accredited (well they didn't come up on the NLN website) what's the worse that can happen if one should attend one of these non accredited schools, just wanting to know the diffrence between an acredited and a non acredited school:confused:

The courses may not transfer later.

In the area that I live in there is a program that does not have NLN accreditation and so far the only major difference is that one of the major hospitals will not accept their graduating RN's without one year of experience in another hospital. As far as credits not transferring, it seems that all colleges structure their nursing programs just a little different---just different enough so that the credits don't transfer to another colleges program. NLN accreditation is given if a colleges program meets the requirements the NLN has determined. I have heard of programs not recieving accreditation because of too many credit hours and too few. I'm sure there is more that goes into it than that.
