Information on Everest institute, GOOD OR BAD!

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I am now on a TWO year wait list for the nursing program at my college. This put bluntly SUCKS! However I was told by the D.O.N at the college about EVEFEST INSTITUTE. She said that if I didn't want to wait the two years then I should go to Everest were I could get my LPN then return to finish up my RN at the original College. This means that I would be finnished in 2010 instead of 2012. Sounds great, Except for the price. A mear $25,000.

I understand that it is an investment. But I can't find any reviews on Everest. I need a little re-assurance that I am doing the right thing from people who are were I want to be. Help!

Thank You

Hello! My name is Kathryn. I currently am an LPN in the state of Michigan and I earned my license at Everest Institute. Sure it does cost a lot, however I wanted to work as an LPN not an aid while getting my RN. I am making 18 dollars an hour (for a new LPN, not too bad) and I am going to my community college for my RN. Everest has had bad reviews, but those reviews are from other programs and people shouldnt judge so quickly and give advice they know nothing about.

Good luck in your nursing future!

I think Everest is not too bad. The only downside is the price( a whopping $29997).I personally think it is too much for an LPN program. With that money, you can probably get an associate degree and a Bachelors.

I am set to graduate from OCC in may (hopefullY) with my ADN and my complete cost of tuition was only 7k... I got in with a 3.68 nursing GPA... it can be done

Yeah I def would have rather gone that route, however Everest offers the pre classes with the program and I returned from Iraq and was in a nursing program within 2 months. Now I am working for the VA as an LPN while going back for my RN. It is def expensive to go to the school and yes it can be done at other schools, however it was the right choice for me so I can work while getting my RN.

Good luck with the rest of your program and congrats!!

thats what i plan on doing. did you go to the campus in Grand Rapids?
