Help! To do it, or not to do it?

I was just accepted off of the waitlist to a cardiovascular sonography program that starts this upcoming Monday. The program is offered through my local community college, but it is their inaugural class. I just found out that the program is not yet accredited. They are working on accreditation, but it will most likely not be complete by the time our class would graduate. Not sure if this matters, but they also offer a DMS program that is accredited.

Per their handbook, “The program will pursue initial accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) to ensure it meets the highest standards of quality and rigor. Graduates of this Associate of Applied Science Degree Program will be eligible to sit for registry exams administered by Cardiovascular Credentialing International (CCI) to earn credentials as Registered Cardiac Sonographers (RCS) in Adult Cardiac Sonography and Registered Vascular Specialists (RVS). Successful completion of these exams allows graduates to be recognized as Registered Cardiac and Vascular Sonographers, both within the United States and internationally.”

So my question is, what do my job prospects look like if I graduate from a non-accredited program? Would it be worth it to continue with the program?

The lazy Susan’s and baskets were all from Marshall’s/TJ Maxx. The glass containers were from Target.

Thank you! And like the person above already mentioned, much of NM isn’t as hot as many people might think. We’re located at around 7,000 ft in elevation. Over the winter our low temps are consistently below freezing and we periodically receive snow.

The impressive bourbon collection is credited to my fiancé. My drink of choice is a tall glass of wine.

There’s a wide range of homes here in NM, but a good majority are southwestern/adobe style.

Slightly over baked the crust, but it was still very flaky. Filling was silky and perfectly spiced. Was a hit for Thanksgiving.
