I completely agree! It's hard to explain what I felt when my test shut off at 75 questions. I was sure I failed and honestly I would have given anything for it to come back up on my screen. I only rememeber that I got lots of SATA and bits and pieces of the test itself. I also got teh good pop up, but am not as confident about its meaning. Either way, congratulations on passing this ridiculously painful hurdle.

Hi Orlandoch! I also went to HCC and I took American Lit and it transferred. Hope this helps!

Congrats on Passing!!!! :clpty:

Great info. thanks for asking this!

the site does say that it is accredited by the nlnac go to http://keiseruniversity.edu/accreditation.php . under the programmatic heading go down to the 10th and 11th paragraphs and you will see what you claimed wasn't there to begin with. it seems like you are very misinformed and are spreading false information. i attend keiser university lakeland campus and so far i've had a great experience. this is like the 4th thread where you have spread false information. i'm not saying this is the best program out there because i don't attend those other programs, but you are giving false information to people that come to this site looking for advice and help regarding a very stressful decision. i suggest telling them to do their own homework and fact checking. you seem so confident in what you are saying, but you are so obviously wrong. as far as a as not being transferable, what constitutes as a transferable degree is an aa degree. hcc says the same thing about their as degrees. many colleges and universities will accept your aa degree because it can be incorporated into many of their programs and you just pick up where you left off. in many cases you may transfer many of your classes taken via an as, but an aa degree signifies you have taken all required gen ed classes such as humanities, public speaking, literature, ethics, etc. an asn degree from keiseru can be transfered to another nursing program because it's regionally accredited. as i said before keiser university is sacs accredited that means it is accredited by the same regional accrediting body as hcc, usf, ucf, phcc and st. pete college to name a few. i did my homework before i decided to apply at keiser because my money and how i spend it is very important to me. yes, the program is more expensive, but some of us have made informed decisions about our education and the cost of it. if anyone out there wants to check for themselves, here is some information that may help you make up your own mind: nlnac - nlnac.org 1-866-747-9965 or 404-975-5000 sacs - http://www.sacscoc.org/ 404-679-4500 fbon - http://www.doh.state.fl.us/mqa/nursing/ 850-245-4125

at keiseru they will give you your official start date, but once you start your classes you can get bumped up if you maintain great grades. i was suppose to start my nursing core in january 2011, but i got great grades in micro, psych and a&p i. i'm currently taking a&p ii and i've been bumped up to january 2010. some students lose their slots due to bad grades, some have family obligations and can't start now so decide to enter during the next class and some decide they don't want to do it anymore. just food for thought when applying. good luck.

melbourne campus is accredited, just call nlnac 1-866-747-9965. keiser univeristy ft. lauderdale, jacksonville, kendall, lakeland, melbourne, orlando, sarasota, tallahassee and west palm beach campuses are acredited by the nlnac. please don't assume things and pass them on as fact.

this is definitely how false information gets spread around and people bypass a great program because they read incorrect information. i understand how everyone should be cautious, but statements should be based on facts. i called the nlnac today at 4:55pm and a representative took down my email and responded to my inquiry at 5:09pm. she confimed that the melbourne campus is accredited by the nlnac. apparently the lakeland, melbourne, ft. lauderdale, orlando, jacksonville, kendall, sarasota, tallahassee and west palm beach campuses are nlnac accredited. if anyone has any doubts, i suggest conducting your own research and call them yourselves 1-866-747-9965. if you want me to forward the email to you, just pm me. good luck everyone!

BumblebeeRN, I read where you wrote this on another post, so I emailed the NLNAC today. I am curious as to why this is and I also want to know if each campus has to have its own accreditation. I should hear something soon...

This is so funny, nasty and true.

i agree with kayty2339. i am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. take this time to plan when would be the earliest you can realisticly get back in school. find out when the next couple of start dates are and have everything lined up and ready to go. my daughter was 13 when we had our second little girl. i don't know if it's because i'm alittle older now, but i really enjoyed the second time around. i have more patience and things aren't that serious. i jsut got back in the swing of things this past august and my little sunshine is 2 yrs old. it is heartbreaking sometimes because i can't spend as much time with her as i want to, but i put everything on hold for my first child and this time around i'm gonna get it out of the way before life gets in the way of my goals. just hang in there, because before you know it, you'll be back in school. good luck to you.

Good Luck! Just clear your mind, relax and harbor positive thoughts from now to test day.

i do agree that you have to do your research, but not all private schools are bad. everest is definitely a school to be weary of. this school just didn't sit well with me. my gut was telling me to run!!! but keiser university was a whole different experience and i'm proud to be a student there.:redpinkhe

keiser university in lakeland is regionally accredited by sacs http://www.sacscoc.org/ check it out just click on the state of florida and it is also nlnac accredited http://www.nlnac.org/home.htm . i almost went to everest, but i was uneasy about giving this school my money. if you want to go to a private school, keiser is a great choice. if you need the name of a great admission rep just pm me. i just started in august and i feel good incurring this debt. everest is not regionally accredited; they're just approved by the florida board of nursing. keiser accepted my credits from hcc which were english i & ii, public speaking, algebra, world literature, ethics & one of my humanities. i jsut had to take micro, a&p i & ii and psychology because i took sociology at hcc. sometimes people assume things and are not informed. no matter what you do take time and inform yourself because you could be passing up a great opportunity. also when people say keiser they may have heard things about keiser college not keiser university. there is a difference.

when i was looking for a private nursing school, i toured with everest and all their program offerings like a/c repair or something kind of turned me off. the fact that they are not sacs accredited and are not nlnac accredited made me nervous. when i asked about this, the admissions representative said "we are accredited; we wouldn't be able to offer the program if we weren't." what she meant was that they were approved by the florida board of nursing and this is not the same thing. i was about to resign to going the lpn route when i decided to tour keiser university (not keiser college). it is a private school, but it's sacs accredited which means i could transfer my credits to usf or any other school that is regionally accredited, it's also nlnac accredited which usf is not. they accepted most of my pre-reqs, so i only had to take microbiology, a&p i & a&p ii and psychology because i took sociology at hcc and they require it. so my total cost drops down to like $24,000 for a two year rn degree. so far i like my classes and i can't wait to start my nursing core. they claimed my nursing core start date was for january 2011, but once my credits came in i've been bumped up to august 2010. i finished up my micro, i'm currently taking my psychology class online and i'll start a&p i on october 23rd. after completing the rest of my classes, i hope to be bumped up to may of 2010. i know the cost is high, but keep in mind that if you have them, some of your credits will transfer. once i'm done i plan on transferring to the university of tampa for my bsn.
