I am looking at a school that is not accredited but I am not sure if that really would effect anything. Because I would still have an LVN licenses.

I don’t know how it works for nursing, but in my field (radiologic technology), if you go to a school that is not accredited, you are not eligible to take the national exam to be registered.

The previous answers can be true in some situations, however, SOME schools that are NOT accredited are still recognized by the state as valid nursing schools and are allowed to take the licensure exams to become a registered nurse.
For instance, in Washington state, Spokane Community College is not currently accredited, but each year its 100+ graduates are still able to take the NCLEX exams and become LPNs and RNs, since SCC’s nursing program is recognized by the state boards. (So those graduates are able to get jobs, but I’m not sure whether they would be eligible to go to a university to expand their training to BSN, etc.)
At this website, https://ncsbn.org/boards.htm you should be able to look up your state board’s information to see which nursing programs are valid in that state. (Click “Members” in the left column, and then choose your state.)

RadTech is right. Just because you go to school to become a nurse doesn’t mean you are a nurse, you have to apply through the Board of Nursing to take the NCLEX for LVN exam and if they see that the school you attended wasn’t accredited they won’t let you sit for the boards meaning you can’t take the exam that qualifies you for your license. Pretty much meaning you wasted your time AND money. Good Luck, and don’t let them fool you, visit your state’s Board of Nursing online to get more info.

two part answer
1.Accreditation means that your school/program has placed themselves under a decision making body that sets standards for your academic program.
2. having an accredited degree will allow you to apply for jobs that require accredited degrees (usually government jobs and large institutions or anything partially funded with state money) they use accreditation as a way to weed out people that got their degree from a diploma mill.
3.If you ever decide to go back to school to become a nurse in ethesis or nurse practitioner or get an MBA and become a hospital administrator most programs will require an accredited degree to advance.

You would not have an LVN license just for completing a program. You need to take an exam to get the license, and to take the exam you need to have completed an accredited course. If it isn’t accredited, your course is meaningless.
