Hi all! First let me say I am new to this site and absolutely love it! There sure is a lot to learn from everyone out there! Anyways, my name is Kelly, and I'm 5 weeks away from starting my CNA class at Healthcare College of California, in Stockton, CA. My goal is to next year, begin an LVN program, as the nursing wait-list at Delta College is just ridiculously long. My question is: How important is accreditation in lvn programs? And where should they be accredited from? I feel like I'm limited in my area, I don't believe Kaplan College's program is accredited through the National League of Nursing Accreditation Commission, and the Healthcare College of CA says they are "approved by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education (BPPVE); Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technician (BVNPT) and the Department of Health Services Licensing and Certification." What do employers look for? What's important? Thank you so much for you input, and I look forward to talking to more of you all!!!
