Thank you all for your responses. They do make me feel better. I think the suggestion to get a letter from the school is a really good one. I've applied for a job that has a graduate nurse residency and so far, the recruiter has not asked me about the accreditation. The job posting itself states that it is a requirement though, so I am expecting them to ask eventually. Hopefully when they find out it is a newer program and that it is recognized that will be adequate. Thanks again to you all!

Hi All, I am just completing my ADN program. I found out half way through the program that my school has not gotten their accreditation from the NLN yet. They are in the process because it is a new program and are now recognized by the NLN. I'm moving out of state and all the jobs I'm trying to apply for say "must be an NLN accredited nursing school" to apply. Has anyone else had this problem and if so, what happened? I'm so worried I'm not going to be able to get a job when we move. Other people from my class are getting jobs fine in my area because the hospitals here know our program is legitimate. Thanks.
