Is there a difference between NLN accredited and non-NLN accredited schools?

I've recently been accepted to a non accredited NLN school; however, it's still accredited by the state board of nursing enabling them to grant RN licenses.

Am I at a disadvantage if I attend this school in terms of employment opportunities and further education?

Some students informed me that it's difficult to seek out employment if your school is non NLN accredited and that most universities look down on RN's coming out of non-NLN schools.

Actually, what does it mean when your school is NLN accredited? What is it? Is it an organization? A networking system? A union/sponsor? I'm so confused and scared. I might not even attend the school anymore. It's a two year community college and not one of those for profit technical schools.

For nursing a school has to be accredited either by NLN or CCNE. Make sure you have at least one of these otherwise i wouldn't recommend it, otherwise it would be tougher down the line.
