   yeah, I am glad I work for the company I do. they don't spend 10 million dollars a year in advertising ( you know who you are). so our students don't pay for those commercials. How ever, we are the next largest online nursing program, and getting the...

   first, yes, 206 is nuts, but that's good to hear. secondly, I have seen transcripts (and I can't go any further than that, so don't ask for any more verification), which had about 50% of classes tested out of. All were not usable for credit. I am gl...

   As I said before, and I will repeat, some schools may accept them, but are risking accreditation with it. If they take non-wet labs, that can be a professional accreditation issue, and for p/f grades from classes ro exams, it can be a regional accred...

   I didn't say the whole program was pass/fail, just that some classes/exams taken are. and any exam taken for credit do not count as transfer. Some schools do accept all the credits, but as I said before, those same schools can be risking accreditati...

   We are talking about a different issue. the state board can let anyone take the test they want. They let non-accredited schools of nursing sit for Nclex all the time. Another issue accredited schools have to explain to nurses about why they cannot fu...

7. Should I attend a non-accredited school?

   zeiqui replied to Ben Franklin's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Part of this is wrong. you want REGIONAL accreditation. national is for trade schools like HVAC and truck repair. the best combination to have is REGIONAL accreditation (as all major universities have, and are recognized in all 50 states), AND profes...

   I would love to know what schools were accepting tests with no grades for credit. They are putting their accreditation at risk. And with the new push on capitol hill to tighten up on colleges, this will be changed again. Please let me know who has be...

   the issue you will run into later with an ADN from EC is the credits. Most colleges do NOT accept EC credits since they are not grades. the tests do not count as classes. This means you will have very few credits usable to go into a BSN or RN-MSN pro...
