LVN School Accreditations QUESTION

[InsightfulNurse2B]

i am in the process of enrolling for an lvn program beginning in feb 2007 however i have a dilemma that i thought someone here could help me with. i'm deciding between two schools and i do not know which is better.

how important is national accreditation?

any feedback would be appreciated. thank you!

You're right, I was attempting to answer your initial question of how does a PN/VN get advanced standing if their credits don't transfer. With the classes you have, you're in excellent shape, no back tracking for you. I currently go to a Nationally accredited program and am going on to an LVN-BSN hopefully after graduating in a few months. The program I have chosen allows entrance into the nursing program with advanced standing without the prereq's because they can be rolled into the nursing program. Good for me because my credits don't transfer and the classes I need, A&P I&II & Micro don't have prereq's only extending the program 3 months.

Gottcha, thanks for taking the time to remind me that I asked that in the first place! Either way sounds good and congratulations on heading right to your BSN.
