Does it really matter?

okay so I work a full time job as a bartender working 10 hour shifts and I want to attend Keiser because they have those one class a month options. And it's very convenient for me with my life and all. But people have told me that going to a private university is nothing and that no one will hire me in the future because its not a real school? Keiser is accredited and it is a non-profit school.

Anything to say about this school

    If it's accredited in your state it's a real school. It isn't easy working long hours and taking classes, I know. Best wishes to you!

    Look at the first time NCLEX-RN test taker pass rates from the school. That coupled with what employers say of graduates from the program tells you everything you need to know.

    Keiser University's BSN program is accredited by CCNE and their ADN program is accredited by NLNAC. You are in good hands as long as the school you are interested in attending are accredited by CCNE or NLNAC with no pending status conditions. What you need to avoid are those "for-profit" schools. Keiser University used to be a "for-profit" school, but they are now a fully accredited non-profit institute. And no, I am not a paid-spokesman. hahaha! Whatever you decide on, make sure that you do not attend an online nursing school. I recommend that you switch from full time to part time as soon as you start a nursing program. Try working on the weekends if you'll be needing extra funds to help with the costs of nursing school. Good luck with your search!

    I think online nursing programs are great for people who need the flexibility. You will still get the hands-on training and skills during clinical. Honestly, from what I remember during nursing school (ADN), it's totally doable in an online classroom. The only downside is you may be responsible for finding your own clinical sites. As far as your choice of school, I don't remember too many people caring about where I went. You pass NCLEX, get your license, that's it. If it is convenient for your life and you don't mind the extra costs, go for it!
