It is important to understand that a school, in fact most schools are accredited with a national accrediting body, even technical schools have their own accrediting body - this is the accreditation that allows for the use of government loans, etc. The nursing accreditations are in addition to the national or regional accreditations granted to the schools, a school without the nursing accreditations does not mean that you cannot be licensed (as long as the program is approved by the state you can get your license) or that you cannot transfer credits to continue your education, it simply means that you might have to look a little harder for a school to transfer to that will take the credits. Just my two cents, but that is the way that I understand it.

Yeah, I am in the top 30, anyone else starting the RN program at Concorde Kansas City on Mar 23??

Hey all you Concorde Kansas City folks . . . today is the day that we hear whether we are in the top 35 for the RN classes beginning next month. Shout your news here when you get it and of course whether you are going to attend Concorde or not. My understanding is that we will probably not get called until this afternoon.

Thanks for your concern Blue Bug. They are accredited and the program is approved by the State of Missouri so we will be able to sit for our NCLEX-RN upon completion of the program. It is accelerated and very exspensive, but I already have a bachelors degree and really just want to get moving so that I can get back to working.

I don't take my NET until this coming Thursday. So I am not sure when they will make the final decision and have interviews. I am not sure what the deadline is, I have asked but it does not appear that they have anything set in stone. Hopefully I will learn more when I go in on Thursday. I will message you and let you know how it goes. Let me know when you hear something. Good luck.

I am in the process of applying. Have you taken your test and interviewed yet? Any idea how many more have applied?
