Non-Accredited school moving out of state

Rating:
(votes: 0)


Hi everyone I have a question. I am about to graduate from a school that is accredited by Florida state board of nursing but not by the national accredidation associations. I know, I know what was I thinking attending a non accredited school? I am aware of the pros and cons, I will be able to get my BSN from an accredited school (at a higher cost unfortunately). Please save the lectures on how a non-accredited school isn't the best choice, I do have a specific question if anyone has experience with this situation. I plan to move out of FL to another state. Will this be a problem when transferring my license? TIA
You should call and talk to the BON at the state you plan on moving or look up their website. In my state the board requires national accredited schools. I also know that if you want to go to get your BSN at an accredited school you may have problems. I don't see an accredited school letting you bridge with non-accredited courses as your qualifications. I would definitely look that up online and make sure you can enter an accredited program. It will limit your choices of schools.Attending a non-accredited program doesn't mean your education wasn't any less good or bad; it just means you're more than likely going to have trouble furthering your education outside in an accredited school. I know the traditional university route you'll have concerns, but maybe online bridging programs are less strict.
