The nursing program is accredited, but the school is not

[er154]

I received my AA from a different community college a few years ago. and then I decided that I wanted to become a nurse. Since last year I have been going to a different community college to complete my prerequisite courses such as micro, and anatomy. I am planning to sign-up for the nursing program this fall semester. But I recently found out that the community college is not accredited. It lost it's accreditation a few years ago. However, the nursing program is accredited by: National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC). I was wondering, how will it affect me? are my science courses not valid? and will it prevent me from getting my nursing degree. Also, I am planning to get my Masters, will taking the science courses in a non-accredited college affect me, even though the nursing program is accredited?

If you take classes at a college that is not regionally accredited you may have some trouble transferring credits to a BSN. It depends on the school you want to transfer to. Whatever university you try to transfer to may take all, some, or none of your classes. You would have to check with each school to find out. If you can switch to a school that is fully accredited without any big difficulties I would say do it because it would at the very least make things less complicated for you later.
