    NurseGirl525 replied to meanmaryjean's topic in General Students

    "Elitist"???? It's elitist to not want to see poverty stricken people get taken advantage of?? I fail to see how that makes any sense whatsoever. If your school properly accredited and you intend...

    NurseGirl525 replied to kmend11's topic in General Nursing

    "NETY" and Other Fallacies

    NurseGirl525 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Ruby, as a new grad, I have not once felt bullied or NETY at all. I'm well into orientation, and I have felt nothing but support from my unit. I feel it's those few who are disgruntled will seek out...

    I'm simply talking about nursing school national accreditation. There are two different ones. One is ACEN and the other I think is CCNE. That is important in job hunting. It's important in the...

    Chamberlain college of nursing

    NurseGirl525 replied to Jfighty's topic in Chamberlain College

    I think it goes by individual campuses. You will need to look that up yourself. Some are, some are not. They are very expensive. Why do you not want to do prereqs? They are extremely important...

    I am thinking of those students. I feel awful for all of them. It is very easy to get into, I'm sorry, it is. With that Hesi score, you would have been very competitive at any school, I'm sure....

    You are missing the point. To get a job, you need national accreditation. Most job postings say you need to have graduated from a nationally accredited school. To transfer credits you need regional...

    A competent nursing school is accredited by the ACEN and is regionally accredited. Regional accreditation means that your credits transfer to other schools. National accreditation is what is needed...
