Do any of these colleges accept students who received their RN from a school not accredited by the NLN?

Although Grantham University's institutional accreditation is through DEAC, all of its nursing programs are accredited by the CCNE.

Go to Nightingale College. I attended their program at 375/semester credit and graduated in 8 months. I did not need to do their prereqs, if you do you need to add 1 semester. Hope this helps.
