Can be a problem for RN's for hospital employment.

You can sit for the state nursing boards, NCLEX. But you do not graduae from an accredited nursing program.

Bohecker cincinnati is not NLN accredited. If a Bohecker employee told you that call me 7210200. Bohecker is provisionally approved by the Oh Nursing Board. The school has ABHES accreditation for student loans. But the ADN is not accredited. RETS accreditation only covers the Centerville campus. On the NLNAC web page schools with satellite campuses; Miami & Kent list the satellite. NLNAC is the only accreditation body recognized by the VA for accreditation and employment as an RN.

Thanks for addressing my concerns, about the Cincinnati campus. I know definitions and nomenclature are important. You use interchangebly "accredited" and "approved by the Nursing Board" The state nursing boards approve a program. A graduate can then get a license after passing the NCLEX test. But the NLN is the only agency in the USA to accredit nursing programs. A state board can not grant accreditation. Its possible to grandfather in some students if Beckfield is now a candidate for accreditation by the NLN of course. Employment and educational opportunities are reduced if you do not graduate from an accredited school, that is an NLN accredited school.

On Beckfield College cincinnati, I just checked the NLNAC web page under cadidacy and Beckfield is not listed. Ohio has conditional approval by the State Nursing Board, but that is different from accreditation.

I saw Beckfield Cincinnati's TV commercial last evening. Very costly. Bumps up way up tuition. Now has anyone checked to see if Beckfield is accredited by the NLNAC, the only national accredition agency. National League of Nursing Accreditation Comm. Beckfied is NOT ACCREDITED. Also have you checked with the Ohio Board of Nursing. I could not find that Beckfield was an approved program. Back to the advertisement. Ohio consumer law requires Beckfield to put in its TV advertisement a note that it is not accredited, at least. I am not sure on the approval by the Nursing Board if it is not approved, then this must go in the advertisment. Unfortunately many of the for profit programs are not accredited. The result---- students sacrifice -- pay double or triple the state school rate but, without a degree, from an accredited school, the graduate can not qualify for most hospital positions. God Bless them and you.
