Nursing school accreditation...

Published

Okay,

I graduated in 2012 with an Associate degree in nursing. Passed NCLEX few months later in 2012 and have been job hunting with no luck ever since. Like many others I've not even had an invitation to interview a year into my search. I have been volunteering at a local hospital and went to that hospital's job fair and was not even able to speak to anyone there because,...."I don't have at least a year experience." Anyway, I'm thinking about doing the RN to BSN online courses that a local university offers while I apply for jobs. I already have a bachelor's degree prior to nursing school so I have plenty of courses that I can transfer.

My main question is....Is a nursing school or college fully accredited if it is accredited by only the NLNAC or CCNE? Does the school have to be accredited by both to be "fully" accredited?

P.S. Any openings for new grad RNs within 150 miles of Jacksonville, Florida? I'll work any day, weekends, holidays, nights, any shift. I'll live in my truck if I have to. LOL

Thanks in advance for any advice and good luck to us all.

I'm in a very similar situation. back to school at 50, already have a degree in Econ and 25 years of business and management experience. barely get a response from most job postings even though everyone claims to be short-handed. I am very frustrated to be back at the how-do-you-get-experience-if-no-one-will-hire-you stage even though I have loads to offer any business. would be interested to hear how it goes for you.
