Sorry I meant to say *ACEN. Since the program is approved by the board of nursing you would still be able to get your license but I know some employers like the VA only hire if you graduate from a program accredited by either ACEN or CCNE.
Here is more info on why programmatic accreditation is important.
Benefits for Students
Licensure and Career Opportunities:
Graduates of ACEN- or CCNE-accredited programs are often required for state licensure and many jobs, ensuring they meet the qualifications for practice.
Transferability of Credits:
Credits earned in an accredited program are more likely to transfer if a student moves to another accredited school, supporting academic progression.
Federal Financial Aid:
Accreditation is often a prerequisite for students to access federal and state financial aid resources, making nursing education more accessible.
Quality Education:
Accreditation assures students that their nursing program meets established standards, leading to high-quality education, relevant skills, and preparedness for the profession.
Access to Further Education:
Graduating from an accredited program opens doors to future educational pursuits, such as master's or doctoral degrees in nursing.
