I just learned that this international school has a program for LVN which is approved by Texas Nursing State boards one of their graduate is already license and currently working. I checked it out my self on online verification. Now the school just extended their program to LVN to ADN Program. Their first batch of grads just finished last October and i heard their just waiting for their ATT. Check I have their school curriculum that was emailed this morning by one of their Educational directors. If you wanna check it out yourself please feel free to do so.One of their LVN graduate is already license here in Texas and had the opportunity to speak to her regarding her journey in her LVN online program. website: Kennedy Global Schools..if you have further querries don't hesitate to email me.

Is the school accredited?

It appears to be in the Philippines. On its accreditation page, it has an NLN logo, but it is an affiliate member of the NLN, not accredited by the NLNAC: http://www.kennedyglobal.net/aboutus_accreditation.php. Red flag: not a *.edu website.

This page says they're recognized by the "U.S. Board of Nursing" -- http://kennedyglobaldavao.com/ Hahaha. Which board is that? It appears its students are taking the NCLEX-PN in Texas. Appears to have a Nevada office but is not a licensed program according to the Nevada BON site (or the Texas BON site, for that matter, but Texas doesn't list programs not resident in Texas). I'd be curious to see where these students are taking the NCLEX-RN, as the first site claims they can. Bottom line, though -- not a U.S. school, not regionally or nationally accredited by any U.S. accreditation bodies.

CA has stated that they don't approve online schools outside of this country. I don't know about other states.

All this proves is that this shady school looked up names on the Texas BON website, and cut & pasted those names onto the school's site.

If something sounds too good to be true, that means that it is. Go to a real brick & mortar school in your area.

If you are so sure about this school then go through the program. I personally wouldn't go to a school unless it's accredited through a real accrediting body. They may have fooled the Texas BRN but they won't fool CA. Good Luck

This school is accredited through TESDA, which from my understanding doesn't accredit their.BSN programs. Would they even qualify to take the NLE? The school is talking about opportunities "abroad" so in other words they can't find work at home. This school is solely relying on other countries to employ their graduates. They are modeling their curriculum on US standards. This is irritating because they are relying on other countries to employ their graduates when local graduates are having a hard time finding jobs.

Again ... bottom line is they are not a U.S. school, not regionally or nationally accredited by any U.S. accreditation bodies. If you want to practice in the U.S. without issues of BONs accepting the education, it would behoove people to think long and hard before going this route.
