How many of you graduated from a Nursing program that was NOT NLNAC accreditated?

Have you had any issues with being hired? If so, please elaborate.

For those of you who graduated from an LPN or ADN program; were you

able to go on to an NLNAC-accreditated college to complete your next

degree in Nursing (whether it was to step up to ADN or BSN)?

I'm looking into a college that is accredited, but not by the NLNAC. My idea is to complete their LPN

program and transition to a more affordable city or state college to complete my RN. I'm worried

that graduating from a Nursing program that is not NLNAC-accreditated will make it harder for me

to get a job or get into a NLNAC-accredited LPN-RN ADN transition program.

Monroe College (New York City) is the college that I am interviewing with this Wednesday. PLEASE HELP!

UPDATE: I just realized..I already have a thread on this! :) Look in my profile and go to town. The title is : NLN & TEAS. I would like to keep the direction on this thread geared toward accreditation concerns.

Specializes in NICU.

A huge majority of the colleges in my state, Michigan, are not NLNAC accredited, including the University of Michigan, but that doesn't seem to stop people from getting hired. Most MI schools are accredited by CCNE.

Yes, I actually just looked into it, but it looks like MOST LPN programs are NOT NLNAC accredited..and MANY RN programs. Sometimes,it is said that the accreditation process with NLNAC is too expensive and not worth it for a college.
