How to Find Out if a School Is Accredited by the Board of Nursing in New Jersey

New Jersey's Board of Nursing not only licenses registered and practical nurses and certifies advanced practice nurses and home health aides, it also oversees their academic training by accrediting the state's nursing schools. The board maintains an online list of accredited nursing programs in New Jersey separated by type of program: associate degree, baccalaureate degree, diploma or practical. You can search these lists to determine if a school is accredited.
