What makes a nursing school "official" or accredited?

U.S.A. Virginia

I'm trying to figure out how legit MCI in Virginia Beach is. They are listed on the NLNAC website, but I just wanna know if this makes them official?

Once you become licensed you can go to any state and pay there fees to become licensed in that state you don't have to take the test over.

I am also a military wife and I understand about the time crunch. Although MCI is private you can get your LPN quicker than a traditional college yes its more expensive but unless you have 2 or three years to stay in VA I would go to MCI. Also to help pay for school you can go to MyCAA (find out more info from Fleet family support center) they give you $6,000 toward any program in demand. It can be used for traditional or private school you just have to be enrolled.

Also Nursing school period is very stressful you might think about waiting until you are permanetly stationed somewhere.

Chillima- What were your clinical sites in VA Beach? Were you in the BSN program? I'm at MCI in Richmond and may be moving to the Tidewater area for a job. I'm extremely unhappy with the lack of clinical sites here. Just wondering what it is like down there.
