Explanations please

So I'm a new rn grad and recently licensed. I'm looking for an RN to BSN program thats quicker than 12 months and I've found that WGU fits the bill. The only problem is that I'm in florida and I expect that most hospitals here wouldn't take that BSN. I have no idea what any of the accreditations mean or which one is more important. There's also UNF and UF but at the moment I'd like to just get it out of the way and be more eligible for jobs. Can anyone enlighten me? Also I know that doing something quickly is generally a bad idea and I accept that it may be out of the limitations of my abilities.

WGU is a well-respected, fully accredited program. NLN Center of Excellence. Over 25,000 nursing students and a similar number of grads throughout the country. The head of Department of Child Services in Indiana is a WGU grad. Most employers only care so see BSN, they don't really care where it came from, esp. since you are already on RN.
