Re: Everest Nursing school issues
The fact that they are not 
When I asked about this, the admissions representative said "we are accredited; we wouldn't be able to offer the program if we weren't." What she meant was that they were approved by the Florida Board of Nursing and this is not the same thing. I was about to resign to going the LPN route when I decided to tour Keiser University (Not Keiser College). It is a private school, but it's SACS accredited which means I could transfer my credits to USF or any other school that is regionally accredited, it's also NLNAC accredited which USF is not. They accepted most of my pre-reqs, so I only had to take Microbiology, A&P I & A&P II and Psychology because I took Sociology at HCC and they require it. So my total cost drops down to like $24,000 for a two year RN degree. So far I like my classes and I can't wait to start my nursing core. They claimed my nursing core start date was for January 2011, but once my credits came in I've been bumped up to August 2010. I finished up my Micro, I'm currently taking my Psychology class online and I'll start A&P I on October 23rd. After completing the rest of my classes, I hope to be bumped up to May of 2010. I know the cost is high, but keep in mind that if you have them, some of your credits will transfer. Once I'm done I plan on transferring to the University of Tampa for my BSN.
