Hi,
Haven't posted here in a bit (crazy busy with AbleU work and school), but I thought I'd chip in as someone who'd gone through what you're facing now. From personal experience, the graduate programs/law schools I applied to either immediately rejected me, or else immediately accepted me with tons of funding. There was virtually zero middle ground (out of over 25 schools I applied to, only one waitlisted me). I highly recommend applying to a broad range of nursing programs to increase your chances of admission.
The good news is, you get past the "why didn't you go to real college?" thing once you're about 12 credits or so underway into your graduate/post-bachelor program. This certainly isn't some huge stigma that's going to follow you around for the rest of your life. I have two friends that have exclusively P/F grades from TESC, both completed fairly decent online graduate programs, and are now looking at substantial/full-ride scholarships to top-20 law schools.
Long story short, yes, you will face difficulty with getting every academic program to recognize the legitimacy of TESC, but you really only need a handful of acceptances, since you can only attend one school, anyway. ;)
