Anyone go to Laboure College?

I just joined this site because this thread makes me so angry. Guess what folks, nursing school is DIFFICULT! If you can't pass the classes @ Laboure, it's because you're not applying yourself or you're not cut out to be a nurse. I come in contact with so many students who want to complain about Laboure's program but those students are always the least ones to apply themselves or think they don't need to spend every night studying. Is Laboure a perfect school, NO. Does it have it's issues, SURE. I have 3 degrees, every university I've ever attended has had issues, none of them are perfect. Laboure is a great school, with a very good reputation. You do have to spend a ton of time outside school to learn the material, the instructors do not spoon feed you everything that you need to know. So I guess if you want to be a baby and have someone hold your hand while attending nursing school, this is not the school for you. Their NCLEX pass rate is up there with almost everyone else's in MA - um look @ Bunker Hill or Endicott, their scores, last I checked, were awful. I'd recommend Laboure to anyone, it's tough but nursing is tough - they are just preparing your for the real world. Do not listen to the haters - nothing has made me more mad than the person who is whining about A&P and the instructor not being able to tell you exactly what's on the exams - are you serious? Guess what's on the exams in A&P - the stuff that's in your A&P book! Read the chapters, the material in those chapters is on the exams! If you really need an instructor to tell you every question or the exact material on a test, you're not ready for college and you're definitely not ready to be a nurse. Laboure is a wonderful school - it's not for everyone but if you're a non-traditional student, this is a great school!

First of all, just based on the bitter, defensive style of your post I doubt that you are a Laboure student. So number one problem at that school is lack of honesty. And your post is a good example of it.

There were 39 posts to this thread since January 2006 and majority of them are negative. So you presumed that all those people are lazy losers. Did I get you right?

Buy the way, I'm not. I never failed any courses at that school and my GPA was decent. For 2.5 years a dedicated myself to studying and succeeded. Some instructors are great and some are awful, just like anywhere else. But taking into considerations all the other issues and tuition cost (23K per year), this school would not be my first, second, or third choice nowadays. Just my .
