How does Accreditation affect the Michigan Nurse who wants to relocate?

Published

Hello, I am a Pre-Nursing student in Detroit, Michigan. I'm fresh into my pre-req's and sort of new at this. I was doing some research I found some schools may or may not be Regionally or Nationally accredited and some aren't state approved programs :no: My goal is to get my associate's....practice. Get my Bachelor's.....practice. Then go back for my Master's in Nurse Anesthetics & practice some more.

Aside from that, I want to leave the option open for relocation. I want to be able to be able to leave Michigan and utilize my BSN & CRNA in a different state if the need arises.

1) What type of accreditation(s) is/are most widely recognized?

2) Are there any ADN's, BSN's or CRNA's that have practiced outside of Michigan?

3) How was the educational transition? (Endorsements...etc)

4) Also, what type of accreditation did the school you attended have?

5) What are some things I should consder being a new nursing student planning to leave the state?

All expertise, advice, words of wisdom, encouragement are welcome. Thank you in advance!!!

Specializes in Case mgmt., rehab, (CRRN), LTC & psych.

As long as your program is apprived to operate by your state BON, you'll be fine. As far as transferability of credits is concerned, the schools you attend need to be regionally accredited, and the nursing programs will need national nursing accreditation from ACEN or CCNE.
