Hi! So I was recently accepted to Sandhill's Community College for their ADN program! I was so excited I cried.
Then I cried again when I went to the orientation and found out they're not nationally accredited. What!
They are accredited by North Carolina Board of Nursing and the school as a whole is accredited. Anyways, this is the only school that is close to me the rest being a 1-2 hour drive depending. Plus waiting another year and a half to start a program. Moving is not a financial option for me and neither is driving 2+ hours each day for school and clinicals.
Im really heartbroken, but they made it seem as though there are silver linings. They have a bridge articulation with a lot of the universities to get a RN-BSN from accredited schools, and they said they've only had a few issues. I know I need my BSN so this is not an issue. I really need help deciding if this is the best option for me. Anyone do a non accredited program and what was your experience? If I turn this down I am truly looking at not going back to school for up to five years. Anyone go to Sandhills? Or work in the southern pines area? Would love to know your thoughts!
Gotcha. Yea that sounds ridiculous. Hope you figure it out. I had to take A&P 1 and 2 online and each of my lab kits cost 500.00 apiece. I am so tired of spending so much money on school.
