Is any one familiar with Meric College in San Diego?

I am thinking about doing there course since it is accelerated but you do not get regular college credit for the classes. You do get to sit for the test and get your RN. Do you know if the hospitals are less likely to hire you if you go this route?
Otherwise I am looking at a three year wait list at the college I am considering.

Hello! I live in Temecula, and was considering going to Maric at one point. However, as soon as I found out that you dont get credit for the courses, I quickly decided not to! If you wanted to go back to school in the future for a bachelors or masters degree, none of your classes would transfer so you wouldn't be able to if you went to maric!!!! And from what I keep hearing from people in this area, is that it is much easier to get a job if you have a bachelors versus an associates which is what Maric offers. Also, for the price that you pay there, you should be getting a lot more!!! Isn't it close to $30,000? And thats only for an associates degree (which you can get at a community college for a few thousand dollars) and for classes that cant even transfer or get credit for! Please take all of these factors into consideration! I know you just want to start right away, but there are some things to think about before jumping in. Where abouts to you live? Maybe I can help you find a community college, I have looked at several!!
