They are accredited by middlestate, if they were not accredited, you would not be able to apply for financial aid.

The BON does not accredit programs; accreditation is a voluntary step above the minimum of approval. What matters to being able to take NCLEX and become licensed is if the program is APPROVED by the BON. 

I see another poster mentioned accredited by Middle States. This is a regional accreditation and not the same as being accredited specifically for nursing through CCNE or ACEN. While you can still become licensed with an approved program without one of those accreditations, it can affect ability to get into graduate programs and even some employers will not take graduates of non-nursing accredited schools.

Interesting,  I was looking at the BON NJ under Nursing Programs and Eastwick is not listed, it means it is no approved? but according to this post someone was able to sit for the NCLEX wondering if they were able get the the NJ RN license. I am very interested in this program because works well with my schedule but I just want to make sure if it is the right one. thanks for the help and clarification
