Unaccredited associates anyone? Online?

[Prettyinpink1]

Hello! Nurses!! Completely new here, so if this question is already answered, just answer it again lol ..please help. Here's the thing!! looking for a unaccredited online school that offers something like an associate bridge prorgram. For a cna continuing education. Or a associate program that could later be accepted by another school (unaccredited)

What unaccredited schools have u guys completed online? Any issues with getting aide ? Any problems where u weren't accepted, couldn't sit for exam? Because of (unaccredited) ?? Currently in ny but will travel for clinicals if needed and will take test in another state if needed be .

I went to an unaccredited RN School and LPN school. I was able to sit for my NCLEX for these schools.

For my BSN I'm enrolled into a Accredited BSN Program, wasn't so easy finding schools that would take my credits and some credits I would have to make up due to attending schools that aren't accredited, but I was able to sit for my NCLEX and that was my main goal.

Now why did I even enroll into these schools? Well I live in NYC, everything is competitive and every school has a waiting list. I didn't want to wait so I paid extra and enrolled in these schools with no waiting list. Do I regret it, absolutely not! I am licensed and make great money as a Nurse here in NYC. Most jobs do want nurses coming from accredited schools, some don't care as you have an active license so you'll be fine. If you want to work in the hospital , you must graduate from accredited school. But there's other nursing jobs you can do so don't be discourage. There's a big nursing shortage as we all know so you'll be fine

For ASN , Look into Med life institute in Naples, I heard great things about them.

For BSN , Look into Chamberlain College, Ohio University, Southern New Hampshire University. These schools accept applicants from Unaccredited institutions with an active RN license.

Hope this helps you and others.

I wanted to add that the school I plan on attending is a community college & not a for-profit institution.
