I'm Official! Or am I? Bom Bom Bom!
Double-check the facts; big lesson learned for Michelle, whose name is changed to protect her identity, when she enrolled at Hawaii Pacific University (HPU) for Nursing, only to discover that their nursing school is not nationally accredited. After buying a Nursing Colleges book that published that HPU was nationally accredited, Michelle quickly enrolled.
Halfway into the semester, whilst excelling in all her classes, a teacher informed her class that HPU’s School of Nursing is not accredited but, says Michelle, “They are looking into it.” Even more confusing, The National League for Nursing Accreditation Commission, also lists HPU as accredited since 1992 with its next evaluation visit due in 2013.
Yet, despite two sources claiming that HPU is accredited, the fact remains: They are looking into it.
Now, Michelle is scrambling to enroll in a nursing school that is accredited. “The good thing is that my prerequisites are generally accepted everywhere.” The best advice for those looking into programs would be to call the specific school and ask them directly if a specific program is accredited.
