I called a few schools to see if they would accept students who graduated from Concorde (ADN) who wanted to go RN-to-BSN, and they said no because it was a technical school...and not accredited by NLNAC or CCNE. Has anyone heard anything different? It appears if the mid- to long-term goal is to get a BSN, MSN or CRNA, then Concorde is not the best option. I hope I am wrong? PLease let me know.

If you are still in the service (reserves), You can also choose REAP (reserve educational assistance program). It pays well, and you do not incur and active duty service obligation. And It can be used for Concorde career college.

hi joiful. i have only recently applied to the rn program at concorde. i am hoping to get into the class that starts in march, but we won’t know for a few more weeks, as they are still reviewing/taking applicants. i don’t know how prestigious it is, or if hospitals are apt to hire graduates from concorde, but it is accredited and it allows you to sit for the nclex…which is all i am looking for right now. i thought the price was very expensive, and the loans they offered were at a high percentage too. kccc and jccc were much cheaper, but they did not have an accelerated program like concorde. well, good luck with your decision and good luck on your entrance exams.

I'm glad they are accredited. However, I am very curious to find out the pass rates of the first graduating ADN class...sometime in March I think.

I still have not heard anything from Concorde. Any luck on your side?

Yes, I took the test...didn't do so hot on the verbal. I hope I get in. I have not done the final review. I don't know if i can wait untill march to find out. Here's hoping...good luck

Has anyone else applied to the ADN March 2009 cycle at concorde?
