Commuting for Accredited school vs Non Accredited?

[Skylarslaughter]

I have finished the majority of my prerequisites and decided that the best option for me is to get into a private school to attain my RN license quickly. My choices are between two non-accredited private nursing programs (Southeastern College and Rasmusen College) that are less than 20 minutes away, and Keiser University in Tampa which is accredited by NCNAC and CCNE. Keiser would be an hour drive for me, but its accredited and I wonder if that will make it worth it?

Is accreditation important enough of a factor for me to make that sort of commitment to commute an hour every day of the week for school? & I plan to work as a CNA while doing this also?

Opinions, advice?

Well from all the information I've gathered from comments and research, and actually visiting Keiser University and meeting with an adviser...I'm pretty sure my decision is going to be Keiser because its an accredited, established, and respected institution. My long term goal definitely involves furthering my education and being a travel nurse, which I assume would be best done by attending a nationally accredited school. The campus was beautiful and professional, and I felt like it was the place for me...It will be well worth the cost for me personally to attend this school. Rasmussen is a good College and many people graduate from there and get jobs in my local area, but it is too risky to be spending that much money.
