Okay it makes sense now. I guess either way i would be able to get my RN license and study at another school to get the BSN. Yet it would be a poor use of my time to take additional unaccredited classes that could have otherwise gotten me a BSN. This has been very useful talking to you. Thanks a lot. I'm going to keep exploring my options here in California.

Thanks for the advice. would you happen to know if I could get my bachelors in nursing somewhere else after becoming a RN at PCC since the BSN wont be recognized from there? Or would it be just as good if I get a BS in another subject afterwards but at another school of course. Would that count as having a BSN in Nursing and some other subject? I am transferring over to PCC with an AA in science and math so I wouldn't need to take that many unaccredited classes. Im aware of all the controversy that others have written but that doesn't concern me as much. From what I've read on there website they are in the process of getting accreditation which I know may take a long time. I'm just making sure I get as much information as I can and Thanks again. Hope what I'm asking makes sense.

I have some connections.

I was thinking of going to Pensacola Christian College to get my Nursing degree but had a few questions about their program. I want to know if anyone has graduated and had a hard time getting a job in another state after graduating from there. I have read a thread about someone getting their nursing degree from there and not able to practice outside of florida. Is that true? I know my bsn wont be recognized but i don't know if I should be concerned about that part if i just want to get registered in nursing. I was wondering if it is really worth it to study nursing there. I live in California and am not about to wait 5 years or forever to get into nursing. I finished all my prerequisites and the community colleges and universities are lottery based and require at least 6 months working in a health related field, proficiency in another language, and high scores in all your science classes. I score pretty low only because i don't have the 6 months requirement and the language proficiency. I don't want to spend a large amount of money going to a private college or christian college and get into extreme debt. I just don't want to go to Pensacola and graduate with an invalid nursing license. In other words waste my time for nothing. Any helpful comments would be appreciated.
