- What happens if my nursing school isn't accredited and why is accreditation of nursing education program important? Personally, I have witnessed first hand how many hospitals and institutions turn nursing graduates away due to where he or she obtained their nursing degree. National accreditation sets standards for accredited colleges to met for NCLEX and safe patient care standards. This video will provide more in-depth information on what accreditation for nursing education programs is and how to verify if your college meets those standards.

I’m really grateful that you addressed a really important topic. The problem I’m having is ADN schools in my area that are accredited by ACEN/CcNE have gotten harder to get into. The community college near my house had 400+ apps for 150 seats. Some students had to apply 3 times & retook courses before they got accepted. I am really considering an lon program near my house but it is not nationally accredited but it is approved by the Virginia Board of Nursing. The problem in Virginia most lpn programs are not nationally accredited but approved by the BON. I have met lpns in ltcs, hospitals & drs offices most I have met have graduated from bon approved schools that were not nationally accredited.
I have researched jobs in various states I know they all care about the school being bon approved. So why is it that most lpn programs lack national accreditation? I’m 44 years old & would rather get into a program that I know I will get a faster result than spend years of my life trying to get in.
I am so happy you did your research on the schools in your area Beki T ☺️💜 Every state considers accreditation a little bit differently. Florida Universities and employers usually require that you attend a school that is nationally accredited for obtaining a position or seeking nursing professional development through advanced practice programs. It is always dependent on the school you wish to attend in the future and their requirements. Some universities and colleges may require you to return and take additional courses before you can be accepted due to the lack of national accreditation standards for courses. As long as you do your research with their desired schools beforehand you may be alright but its never guaranteed as colleges change requirements all the time dependent on their annual program reviews. What is great about getting your LPN first is you can enter an accelerated RN program which tend to be less competitive at a later date. This means you can get your degree faster after you receive your LPN certificate. I hope this helps answer your questions. ☺️💜
You did a GREAT job explaining it! Thank you
My pleasure Janet Vargas 😊💜 I am humbled that my video was helpful in your research
Thank you so much for this! I just enrolled in a nursing program near me. I was told since they were a new school it would take about 2 years for them to be accredited however they are state approved. Will this affect me working out of state as a new graduate? Having second thoughts 😢
Great question Ti. I will be very honest that state-approved colleges may not affect you from being able to work out of the state if you obtain a Multi-state license; however, finishing with a school that is not nationally or even regionally accredited may affect your ability to find a position as a new graduate. Many hospital organizations, especially those who have or are trying to have magnet, will not accept graduate nurses unless they finish from a nationally accredited college. You will need to do your research with the local hospitals in the area to see how this may affect you in the future. All the best of luck to you Ti. 😊💜
Hello, I would like to ask I graduated 8 years ago from a nursing school and I passed the local board exam, now I am planning to take NCLEX but unfortunately the school that I attended shut down, is it still possible to take the exam?
Honestly Ro Selle, I am not sure if I can answer your question. I can speak from personal experience working in Nursing Education for many years that you would need to have your degree verified by the state you are planning to work in. If they are unable to verify your education, you may not be able to take the NCLEX exam. I would reach out to your local board of nursing and ask for advice on how to proceed if your college has been shut down. Sorry I couldn't be more help
Hi just wanted to know your update Roselle
Thank you for this ❤️ i got a question tho which website NCLEX uses to see accredited foreign nursing schools.
You're welcome! I'm glad you found the video helpful. Regarding your question, the NCLEX does not directly provide a website to see accredited foreign nursing schools. However, you can check with the nursing regulatory body or licensing authority in the country where you're planning to practice as a nurse. They can provide information about the approved nursing programs and institutions in that particular country. Good luck with your nursing journey!
@@NurseCheung OMG!! you are so sweet thank you soo much 💎
If I graduate from a regionally accredited college with a BSN. The residency program that I am interested in donconsider regionally accredited student.
would I still be able to be a travel nurse after staining nurse experience & completing the nursing residency program ??? My college said they were nationally accredited and they lied..
Arianny, I am sorry to hear that you feel misled by your college. This may affect you getting a job at a magnet hospital or hospitals that tend to only accept graduate nurses from nationally accredited colleges. However, this does not mean that you cannot become a travel nurse once you have two years of acute care experience. After a year's of experience, many hospitals and organizations no longer look at your transcripts for academic experience. I want to wish you all the best in your future nursing career! Don't give up hope you got this!! 😊💜
Is there a big difference between regional and national accreditation? I’ve done my own research and I’m seeing that it’s best to attend a regionally accredited school. Can I still further my education with just national?
Great question NaturaleeUnique.☺️ If you plan to attend another college in the same area then the regional accreditation may be sufficient. However, if you plan to attend an online college in a different state and even some colleges in the same area will require national accreditation. National accreditation are help to a national standard and the core curriculum is verified/approved by a majority of colleges. Regionally accreditation has slightly different standards that may not meet the national standards and can make it more difficult to get into some colleges/universities of your choice. I highly recommend if you know of a college you would like to attend in the future outside of the regionally accredited college of your choice, that you contact them and verify if they will accept that colleges curriculum. I hope that answers your question. ❤️☺️
What are the website for those 2 website you mention? For some reason when i put that theres so much thing i need to click and i cant be on the main page that you just show on your youtube video. Thanks
Thank you for your comment! 😊💜 If you're trying to determine if a nursing school is accredited or not, there are a couple of websites that can help.
The Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) and the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) are the two main accrediting bodies for nursing education programs in the United States. To find out if a nursing school is accredited by one of these organizations, you can visit their websites:
CCNE website at www.ccneaccreditation.org/search-accredited-programs: This website provides a searchable database of CCNE-accredited nursing programs. You can search by state, type of program, or name of institution.
ACEN website at www.acenursing.org/directory-search/: This website provides a searchable directory of ACEN-accredited nursing programs. You can search by state, type of program, or name of institution.
Using these websites, you should be able to find out if the nursing school you are interested in is accredited by either the CCNE or ACEN. I hope this information is helpful to you! Let me know if you have any other questions, and I'll do my best to assist you. Thanks for watching! 😊💜
@@NurseCheung thank you so much. What will be the difference of approved school vs accreditation if both can give you RN license?
My school lied to me about their accreditation.. I asked if they were accredited and they said yes it is! And later I found out they have applied for accreditation and are under review but definitely not accredited. Hopefully they receive accreditation by the time I graduate😕
I am so sorry to hear that happened to you Paramedic RN Simon capote. Unfortunately, many colleges market themselves as accredited but they are only regionally accredited for the state region, not nationally. I always advise anyone entering into college research the accreditation as many magnet and other various hospitals may not accept candidates based on the accreditation of the college in which they graduated from. ☺️❤️
@@NurseCheung yes that’s my fear but I hope it all goes well and I’m remaining positive. Hopefully my experience as a medic for 8 years will help my application and outweigh my schools credentials.
What if i graduate as an Lvn from a private school and then later on want to bridge from Lvn to Rn in a community college?? Does the accreditation from my previous Lvn matter?
Great question Crazy Cindy. It depends on the school. Some community colleges may take credits that others won't. If you are applying to a community college that is accredited then there is always a chance they won't recognize some or all of the credits if the private school was not accredited as well. I would recommend following up with the program you intend to apply to and ask what credits won't be taken and which classes you may have to repeat. I hope that helps. ☺️
@@NurseCheung What if i still become an LVN through a private school and i don’t bridge from Lvn to Rn since they wont take my credits?? Can i still apply to a registered nursing program at a CC while doing pre reqs??
If it is only Board of Nursing accredited for that state, should you be able to do a RN to BSN program in that same state? (Even if not in other states)
Hi KalmdownDeja 😊💜 Thank you for the question. I just wanted to clarify your question. Are you asking if the school you are attending is only accredited in the state you live in, should you attend even though it's not nationally accredited?
@@NurseCheung so if you get an ADN from a school thats ONLY accredited by the board of nursing in that state, can you then do an RN to BSN program at an accredited school? Although your RN-ADN isn’t accredited, only approved.
And if an out of state program don’t take you, will ones in that consider you since the aboard of registration approved the course
I am going for Lpn and want to attend a school in Longwood but it is not accredited but approved but the Floridia education and Nurse approved program. If I go to that school, and I graduate and pass the Lpn exam would I be able to get a job ?
hi spoke to that school today i was wondering the same thing
Great question Wendy Magg ☺️💜 I want to start by saying I don't think it will completely impede you from finding a position especially in the current state of healthcare. However, it will limit your options, as many hospital systems only review candidates who graduate from nationally accredited programs. It also makes it difficult to find universities for further education without a nationally accredited degree. Many accelerated RN programs require certain accreditation's in order for you to begin their programs or will require additional classes prior to beginning. ☺️ I hope that helps clarify your question.
@@NurseCheung yes thank you for clarifying.
Omg is this Sunlight? I start in May and I'm having second thoughts!
What about international educated nurse , how can i check if my university is accredited with USA
Thank you for your question, izoneyuri isbae!
Nurse Cheung welcomes nurses from all around the world. The Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CFGNS) is the world's largest credential evaluation organization for nursing and allied professionals.
Their team provides credential evaluations, and certifications, including visa screen assessments, credential verifications, and other services for international nurses. There are also many hospital organizations that provide resources on degree verification and sponsoring international nurses.
I hope that helps answer your question on how to see if your university is accredited in the USA. 😊💜
Thanks the BSN i am interested in is accredited by both 😀
I am so happy to hear that Jasmine ☺️❤️ It feels great to attend a school who is nationally accredited so you can attend advanced programs anywhere
is this just as important for CnA'S?
Thank you for your comment and your question. While accreditation is most commonly associated with nursing schools, it's also important for certified nursing assistants (CNAs) to attend accredited training programs.
In general, an accredited program ensures that the education and training you receive meet certain quality standards and that the program has been reviewed by an independent accrediting body. This can help ensure that you receive a high-quality education that prepares you for your career and that your credentials are recognized by employers.
For CNAs specifically, accredited programs can help ensure that you have the skills and knowledge needed to provide quality care to patients. Additionally, many states require that CNAs complete an accredited training program in order to become licensed or certified.
So, in short, attending an accredited training program is important for both nursing students and certified nursing assistants. It's a good idea to research accreditation when choosing a program or school and to ensure that your credentials will be recognized by employers and licensing boards.
Thanks for your comment and I hope this helps answer your question.
I’m in a non accredited class right now loooool
They lied to me
I am so sorry to hear that I AM UCHE. Many colleges advertise themselves as being "accredited" but they have only obtained regional accreditation, not national accreditation. There are different standards based on these accreditations and many further education colleges that offer BSN, MSN, or DNP will not accept all credits if they do not meet their standards. ☺️
@@NurseCheung
It’s alright. It’s just a little cna course. $600. It’s better that then tens of thousands dollars in debt. Lesson or rather lessons learned. 😅 I appreciate your video. ❤️
I am in approved RN program right now, planning on going further to BSN, should I be worried because the school is only approved and not accredited
@@nkechivinhellens1254 update please
Is achieve accredited?
I am not sure which school you are referring to Prettii Don. You can use the links in my video to help you research if this college is accredited ☺️
Is Allegheny college of Maryland accredited?
It does matter if the school and program is accredited. If these two are not accredited you would not be qualified for financial aid
Great feedback Kenya 😊💜 I wouldn't say that all schools that are not accredited will not be qualified for financial aid. Several unaccredited schools have financial aid partners outside of the government. This is the feedback I received from many nursing students who graduated and now owe the school money. These nurses were never allowed to sit for the NCLEX.
@@NurseCheung I am in a situation at ny college, the school is accredited and my program is under a candidacy. And my college never told me that the program is under a candidacy status
Thank goodness I almost attended a school that wasn’t .
I am glad you found out before it was too late Alexandra Johnson. It's important especially when you want to continue your education or get into a Magnet hospital. 😀
