Applying for BSN/ADN/LPN

Hello!

I've recently graduated at a community college with an associates degree in pre-nursing allowing me to apply to multiple nursing programs in Washington state.

I applied at SPU but didn't get in. They only take about 10 transfer students out of 65.

Although I did get an admission acceptance at PLU, I won't know if I get into the school of nursing until before June.

Now I will try to apply to community colleges for an ADN but I'm confuse on the regulations of a program that is uncredited.

for example: south puget sound community college offers a program but is not accredited. If I were to complete SPSSC's nursing program what are my chances of being hired for say. However, if I continue my education and apply to a BSN program prior to completing my ADN program at SPSCC, will this conclude into my ADN from an unaccredited school, be replaced by the BSN degree I chose to transfer to that is accredited? I'm not sure if that makes sense but that's the best way I can explain it.

If I don't get into any of the ADN program, I plan to apply at technical colleges to obtain my certicate of being a licensed practical nurse. Then just work my way up.

This year is just my trial, these are all the informations I've gathered through research and asking questions with nurse advisors, so if none works out I'll just try again next year.

Im currently working as a med tech/CNA at an assisted living, I might transfer to the convalesce and rehabilitation center to work with an RN so I could get a letter of recommendation.

Sorry for the lengthy post. I have this end goal of becoming a nurse educator. And I'm kind of stressing out about getting accepted to one program. -_-
