Remington College of Nursing - Orlando

Just to let you know the school is actually nationally accredited, just not by the CCNE quite yet. Regional accreditation will come with time, as it usually takes much longer. I know you still want to hear from someone in the class but I just want to let you know that I was in the same boat as you. I was worried out of my mind and doing research for MONTHS trying to figure out if this school was legit! It's hard taking such a big risk with a new nursing school that is not accredited by the CCNE yet. Although I'm not there, just from what I've seen and pieced together they are as legit as it gets! 108 more hours of clinics than recommended by the state board of nursing, extremely experienced professors, top notch simulation labs, let me tell you! My worries went away when I went to orientation. As far as the money goes, it is a bit expensive. I figured the cost would go up soon, but for getting out in 12 months and making that money back so quickly, it's worth it! You can still work as a nurse right out of school as long as you get an interim permit and plan on taking the NCLEX 6 months from that point. Hope I helped a little. Just do your research for yourself too. Good luck!

I would like to thank everyone for all the info about RCON. I am from Michigan and applying to the Jan 2010 class. I know that the program is very rigorous, but I would love more feedback from current students. If not, I would love to communicate with prospective students.:typing

Hello,

I seem to be one of the only people on this thread now-a-days. Before the July class so many students were throwing stuff out there! You may hear from actual students, but to be honest with you it'll probably be quite a while before one of them come browsing onto this website. I don't mean to sound like miss know-it-all but I've been keeping in contact with some of the students that started this past cohort and they are so busy sometimes it'll take them days to text me back a simple answer. It looks to me as if this site is more so frequented by prospective students. Good luck on your research.

I'm in the July batch. The program is going okay so far. A few little bumps but all in all it seems doable. We have done all our first tests for each class. We have several left. The schedule is great they even planned the exam schedules. We have also had our dosage calculation test. No one has dropped out as of yet. Hopefully no one does. I have no doubts that they will receive that accreditation by November. Other than that we are coming along. I cant wait to be finished.

hey! I was wondering, if one starts the remington program in january, do they finish in december of that same year?

likewise, when one graduates, they will be approved to work in florida correct?? I know you can sit for the RN test, but is there full regional approval to work here? thanks!

galapagostortoise · Sep 14, 2009

Do you live in Orlando? I haven't herd anything from them yet I live in South Florida so maybe mine will come on Monday(fingers crossed). I have been checking the mail every day.

Congrats on your acceptance:yeah:

Hey PrincessO, I live in California and haven't received my letter either. Can you let me know when you get yours? Has anyone else received their acceptance letter? By the way, congrats Galapago! You must be estatic!

PrincessO, MSN, RN, NP · Nov 23, 2009

I was just told that they won't be making decisions on the application until next Tuesday. I am confused because Galapagos has already recieved his/her acceptance...were you already previously accepted?
