CNEA/ACEN Accredidation?

Published

Is there a difference between these two accredidations? Can you still sit for the NCLEX-RN with the both accredidations?

I am asking these questions because I am looking into a few of the nursing schools around where I live, and most have the ACEN accredidation and 99% of nurses have graduated from theseveral colleges, but there are two that have a CNEA accredidation. I know only one nurse who has graduated from this school. I'm not sure if it used to be ACEN accredited, but I know it lost its accredidation for ACEN in 2014. Any information is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I am trying to figure out the same thing. So far, in Utah at least, I have found that Utah BON only accepts ACEN and CCNE... but I am not 100% on that. I hope someone can give us more insight.

I have contacted the BON, but I haven't heard back yet. On their website I have only found I found info for ACEN and CCNE. I am hoping to hear back from others with experience while I'm waiting to hear back from the BON!
