Applying to a program due for accreditation

One of the CRNA progams I applied to is up for re-accreditation on the first year I would be in the program. I need some advice. Is it risky to attend a program that is due for re-accreditation? If I get in, and they do not get re-accredited, would I be out of luck until I can apply somewhere else in a year? Or would they carry on with classes while they work on getting accredited again? I would hate to choose to attend this program over other ones I applied to, then it not get re-accredited.

Any CRNAs or SRNAs please feel free to let me know what you would do.

    Is there a reason you are worried about it going up for re-accreditation? If it is a well know and well established program it should be fine.

    I wouldn't worry at all about reaccreditation, all programs go through the process. I wouldn't give that a second thought. Is there some reason you think the program isn't doing well?

    The program's graduates have had good pass rates on the certification exam, and they have had low attrition rates. I don't really know what else to look at as far as getting re-accredited is concerned.

    My main question is, would the program continue if they did NOT get re-accredited? And, would students be eligible to take the certification test after graduating?

    I honestly haven't heard of that ever happening - a school not getting accredited again. But if you have worries I would talk to students about their clinical sites and experiences. If anything will shut. A program down its nor being able to provide the clinical experience required to sit for boards. Some schools now only provide "simulated" central line placement because they don't have enough heart sites. Do your research carefully, you are paying a lot of money for this training. Make sure he clinical experience prepares you well for graduation. Are grads able to find jobs easily? How many stay local and how many go out of state? Those questions are equally important.
