ASN program not accedited but BSN is

Published

So i am getting ready for a big move in august, my boyfriend is military and we are moving to VA. There is a program there that is done by EPCI university, the accreditation is as followed http://www.ecpi.edu/services/accreditation-and-licensure/

the ASN program has a few accrediations but not the NLN or the ACNE but the BSN program is accredidted by the ACNE and can be taken right after you complete the ASN. I want to do the program becuase its fast, i have most pre reqs out of the way, i have about 4 classes left to apply for most ASN programs, but i dont want to be wait listed as you can tell we only have 3 years in VA. is it going to be worth my time doing this program and getting the BSN through the, or will it be hard to get a job elsewhere as a nurse if i do?

really need some help here!

ECPI is one of the many "for-profit" school that doesn't have the best reputation. I would research this school before i invest roughly $40K into a 10-15K degree/program. If a school isn't accredited through ACEN (NLNAC) or CCNE that would be a major red flag imo. You also have to considered that your credits will likely not transfer to another institution of higher learning.
