For colleges and universities within the United States and its territories, the critical issue is the schools accreditation. When choosing a college or university make sure the institution has a regional accreditation. With a regional accreditation you can be assured the coursework and degree you complete will be recognized by all other colleges and universities as well as employers. Below are listed the six regional accrediting agencies and their geographical areas of responsibility. Make sure the school is accredited by one of them.

In a good nursing program you want a school that will put you through tough, but effective classes. You also want a nursing program that will put you through clinicals for good practice.

All of your normally required classes. You take your nursing courses in college but in order to get accepted into the college of nursing you must maintain a good science and math GPA. I would try to keep it to at least a 3.5 to be accepted into a nursing fast track program.

Only the College of Virginia Beach campus. They have a 100% pass rate for the NCLEX. I do not recommend the main campus in Hampton.
University of Arizona Just about all colleges and universities have good nursing programs. I go to school with students getting their associates in nursing. They have all told me that it is easier to go to a community college for their associates and then transfer to a University that has a nursing program for your next two years of school. Also the community college will help you into getting in the university that you want and they will have a good list of colleges and universities that offer your program. You could make a list of criteria to help you make your choice. There is not as much importance linked to the school you attended for nursing as there is in other fields. In any case, you should include the direct experience in hospitals as one of the criteria for your choice. If funds are an issue, many teaching hospitals offer assistance with tuition for a nursing degree if you come in as a practical nurse. Finally, your grades from the first two years of college are going to affect what nursing schools will accept you. === ===
