lpn program at everest in Southfield, mi

Updated Sep 19, 2009 at 09:48 PM by tnbutterfly

I am wondering if there is anyone out there who is currently or previously attended the lpn program at everest institute in southfield, MI. I am currently in the admissions process, I take the exams next week and getting all of my required information together. I am a little nervous that I will not get accepted. Does anyone know how competative it is to get into the program and how many applicants there are??? I really want to do this, but am a little nervous. Also, how does the financial process work. I will not be eligable for any financial aid, just probably student loans. If anyone has ANY info for me that would be great . As much info as possible PLEASE! I am stressed that I will not get accepted. Emails are ok too.

If you have a pulse and can get approved for financial aid, you're good to go.

I attended the one in Grand Rapids, MI and it was the worst year and the biggest mistake of my life!

Yes, I did the LPN program.
I was subjected to humiliation, had fraudulent loan applications submitted in my name, and was treated as if I were five years old for 12 months of my life. I also received fraudulent IRS forms and have submitted correct information to the Feds regarding what I received.

It's a for profit education center. You pay $30K (which is what I am sure the cost is up to at this point) for a mediocre education in a place that has all kinds of problems with their finance department. When you mess with MY money, I have a big problem with that.

I too have completed the admissions process and awaiting a notice for January's class. Have you completed everything and are you planning on going if you get accepted? Wondering if you were able to talk to anyone else to gather more information as to how they like the program?
Thanks!

I am attending Everest in Southfield currently, and although the beginning was very frustrating and unorganized.. I must say I AM learning a lot. Level I (they have 3 levels) is by far the hardest because you have so many classes at once. It may be more difficult if you have been out of school for years as well.

The instructors have a deep passion for nursing, and have a TON of experience in their field. I have heard that you now NEED medical experience to get in, although I did not.

For my class, we just started Sept. 8, 2009--- there were around 300 applicants and 40 of us got in. Right now there are 37 in our class because a couple dropped out for personal reasons. I had one tiny grant for $1500, the rest were covered in (INSANELY HIGH INTEREST) loans. The money part is the worst part, it's VERY expensive, and after interest, the program is costing me about $40-50k.

Let me know if you'd like to know anything else! Good luck!
