Rasmussen too good to be true?

Published

Hey all, pretty new to the site so forgive me if this isn't filed correctly. I also apologize for the long question!

I'm researching schools within my area and Rasmussen has piqued my interest, however after some research both here and elsewhere it's come to my attention that it doesn't have the best reputations. I know a similar question is on the site, however I've heard som semi-decent things about the Bloomington, MN campus specifically and I'm wondering if anyone here now's anything about that campus? The other questions are also several years old. My other issue is that it's accreditation seems a bit sketchy, from what I can tell (and could potentially be wrong) the associates program is NOT accredited, but their AS to BSN program is? In the long run I'm looking to become a nurse-midwife, so I want to know that whatever school I end up attending is going to give me the knowledge and mobility to do that.

Even with all these potential issues, I'm still drawn to it because of the more frequent start dates and the fact that I won't need to do a full year of pre-reqs prior to starting. It's not that I'm trying to rush it, because in the long run I'd rather bite the bullet and the pre-reqs than get a sub-par education but I've already taken over a full year of school off for various reasons and I'm itching to get back into it. Becoming a nurse and eventually a nurse-midwife is something I've become super passionate about over the years and in excited to get started. Thanks !
