I have Bachelor`s degree in unrelated field from different country and decided to go back to school. I am searching for nursing programs and going nuts. I am lost. I went to session to Rasmussen college in Minnesota. They have accelerated BSN program. First it seemed cool but I haven`t heard anything good about Rasmussen and they said they are regionally accredited by CCNE. So what does that mean ? what is difference between regionally and nationally accredited ? Will it be problem after graduated if they are not nationally accredited ? and i am also searching for other schools. Some of them are accredited by CCNE OR ACEN. So what is difference ? Also if you know a good nursing program in Minnesota who doesnt have a long waiting list please give me some advice. Thank you.
