Help! Done with ASN program since July and still not able to take boards.....

Good Afternoon Fellow and Future Nurses.

I been coming on allnurses for months now and finally decided to post, hoping to get the help I need. So I attended this school in South Florida it's not accredited btw. Last day of school was the first or second of July. Took Exit at the End of August or maybe the beginning month of Sep, passed first time with a 961 (Hesi). So far im the only student in the class who's paid all financial obligations, first and the only one to take exit because the other students still haven't paid all their tuitions. Im ready to take boards and the owner of the school doesn't want to jusr send one student name. Is it legal or fair for him to do so? A graduation date has yet to be told and this owner make changes with each passing day. Please if someone or anyone can help I'd really appreciate it.

Completely apart from this debate, I'm just curious, what is your background? Do you work in healthcare administration? You often purport to know how things are done "everywhere," whether it's how all nursing schools operate, to how student/administration squabbles are handled, and on and on, yet I know you are a student. I was surprised to see you admit that you made a tiny mistake above, because usually you project an air of knowing it all. I say that gently, not ultra critically. No one is never wrong, so I'm trying to get a sense of who you are and what backs this strong sense that you always know how nursing, nursing education, nursing hiring, nursing day to day, etc. works in pretty much all parts of the country.

This is my 4th time through school, 2 college level diploma programs, 1 technical program (all related), and working on nursing now. I've done this across multiple states. I saw common trends between schools and programs. Once you know what to look for, it's just a quick search on any school's website to find the information. Every BON is online. Every organization that accredits schools is online.

I work closely with a businesses being mentored in an administrative role in my free time for building different skills, through networking with that, I've seen a lot of the business side of the working world, not just with them, but with everyone they deal with.

It's observing everything around me, asking questions, already having a plan for after graduating helped answer a ton of questions... One included how to get past not being a programmatic accredited school, and getting the answer of that requirement only being because of the high rate of new graduate applicants, being told to work a few years, then start applying. After that, when this topic came up, it was down to just looking up random job postings for hospitals, and almost every one of them the requirement wasn't a nursing accreditation, but just a program approved by the state. Which I think is what causes all the confusion because if you look around and ask, almost every time that accredited nursing school just means a regionally accredited college level nursing school.

We're on the internet now, the answers to literally every single question asked in here is just a google search away.

Hmm, interesting. Well, I'll just repeat that in spite of google, it's important to remember that no one is never wrong, including you. Hell, I'm wrong about something on a regular basis.

Moral of the story is don't be too cocky. The internet is great, but it has its limits.

But unfortunately what a school or company says about themselves on the internet, on their website, is typically way more true than any misconception posted by a bunch of nursing students. I'm pretty sure ACEN knows way more about their accreditation than nursing student #5819123091
