LOST Accreditation

[d419]

I am currently enrolled at a Community College that Lost there Accreditation. Im not sure what that exactly this means. Can someone please help me understand.

I honestly wouldn't give up my spot in a BON approved nursing program just because they lost NLN accreditation. NLN and CCNE still is VOLUNTARY, and be aware that colleges can and WILL still either deny admission, and refuse transfer courses from schools that ARE "accredited" by the NLN or CCNE. You can still continue your education without it. Think long and hard before you make a decision.

This is true!! Great advice.

Herashis: Many hospitals will not hire you unless you attended an NLN approved school of nursing, regardless of whether or not it maintained board of nursing approval. I would talk to your classmates and then a lawyer. Transfer ASAP. So sorry that happened to you. Before you transfer, check the school's most recent NLN approval date. Make sure it will last until after you're long gone with your ADN! Good luck
