Kam, where did you hear that? Any credible sources?

It's not true. Truman was just reaccredited for 8 years. There were two programs that were never accredited and are now in the process of seeking accreditation.

Each college's website will tell you the status of their nursing program.

I don't know about the Truman rumor but this is what Daley's website says about its accreditation:

The Nursing Program is NLNAC accredited:

National League of Nursing Accrediting Commission

Accreditation

In the Fall of 2008 the Richard J. Daley College Nursing Program received NLNAC accreditation for 8 additional years.

Written comments should be submitted directly to:

I'm waiting on my acceptance letter for the RN bridge program I was an Emt and now I'm an LPN. Has any other LPNs heard anything that have applied?

I talked with CCC, they basically said that the acceptance emails should be completed by tomorrow (they said hopefully that will be the latest). So there is a ray of light for those of us who have not heard anything yet. I was told only 1 person is sending out the emails now, so its slow going.

I just got an e-mail from Daley last night, but I applied to Truman and Malcolm X as well, I think they are just placing people in the colleges. It is going to take some time I guess.

Hi dimplezbell22, I am not an LPN, but I am a returning student (withdrew the program in Fall 2010, Truman), I was told that I needed to take a remedial course (Nursing 140) in the summer to be elegible for re-admission. I tried to register for the class (it starts June 8th), and I was told by the truman secretary that I have to wait for notification by mail and that it will be by Friday. I just find it so frustating on how they just dont tell you over the phone!! you are also required to take Nursing 140 in the summer right?

Hey Kam,

You can check the accreditation status of any school directly through the accrediting body's website. NLNAC accredites most associate degree nursing programs: http://www.nlnac.org/forms/directorySearch.asp

It appears both Daley and Truman are safe through 2016/2017, although it does note that they are both "with conditions". I'm not sure what that means.

I just got my email of acceptance at Truman today at 4:42. Good luck to everyone still waiting - they're still sending emails, so don't lose hope!

Hi Ruby yeah I do have to take nursing 140 and the I jump right into the third semester. I thought having my LPN made it easier for me I guess not. Still waiting for my letter

Maybe there is a separate list for the LPNs and Re-admits? Maybe is the last list of people to send emails to. :confused:
