Are they the ones with the "Intelligent Design" alleged museum?

I'd think twice!

They reject evolution, and teach creationism as science. They are rated as a fourth-tier school.

Personally, in a program as heavily science-based as nursing, I would be loathe to trust to Jerry Falwell's milieu having a hand in determining my curriculum.

The curriculum looks standard to me and they do have alums working all over the world. The religious pov pertains more to the way they teach ethics and also you'd probably hear a lot about the concept of nursing as a ministry. Remember missionary nurses were basically the founders of the nursing profession as we know it.

Yeah I looked at the curriculum and I don't see a problem with it at all. What concerns me is that they are ccne and not nln accredited and I don't understand the difference between the two accredition agencies (I've looked it up) and my long term goal is anesthesia so I want to make sure the accreditation will not hold me up. I know someone who went there and she is a great nurse.

If you want CRNA find a better school.

I think great nurses can come out of all sorts of schools. But on a CRNA app the school will matter.

Since when does not accepting the "Theory" of evolution as fact have a negative impact on what kind of nurse one becomes. Both are faith based, but have nothing to do with the quality of a nursing program. Most people cleaving to the evolution theory rarely mention its racist history, and multiple fraudulent claims trying to reconcile its utter lack of evidence showing any creature in the process of macro evolution. Lets remember that its ok to have a difference of opinion, but to disregard ones education as inferior just because they dont hold to your particular faith (theory of evolution) is rather absurd.

Now then, concerning the requirements of particular programs you must contact them directly to see if they prefer nln or ccne. One is no better than the other, but rather a preference of the institution. Even more important to CRNA programs is the applicants clinical field of experience (ICU vs. ER, MSurg etc), not whether or not your school favored creation over evolution.
