Starting Nursing Program at NewEngland Tech March 2011

[shaniam326]

I was recently accpeted into NewEngland Tech's Nursing Program, I start March 28th 2011. I graduated from this school as a Clincal Medical Assistant in 2007 and had a job right away, making pretty good money. After reading comments/opinions on the school I am feeling a little hesitant. It was expensive when I graduated in 2007 and I assumed it would be for the Nursing program as well but this is not my problem, Some people say the school is not accredited but I have read that IT IS. I want to know I will be a REGISTERED NURSE when I complete the required schooling at NEIT, also I wasnt to happy when they told me my "math" credits from their school is only good for 3 years and my science for 10, therefore I would have to take and repay for my math credits from this school?

hello student, i read your post and just wanted to get back to you with some information i feel will make sense in sorting this out. the confusion may lie in the use of "accreditation". new england tech (the entire college) is accredited by the new england association of schools and colleges, which is one of the most prestigious accrediting organizations there is. our nursing program "is a candidate for accreditation" from the national league of nursing accrediting commission (nlnac). nlnac only visits new nursing programs near the time of graduation of the first class. please visit the website for our nursing program at http://www.neit.edu/index.cfm?pg=447&pgtitle=nursing for additional information.
