Anyone go to Laboure College?


Hi, I was wondering if anyone has gone to or currently attends Laboure College? I just got accepted for Fall 2005 and just wanted to hear anything you have to say about the program! Thanks!

Hi! I'm new on here....I am attending Laboure College this semester. I started in the Fall 2005 semester as well. You must have the same clinical issues that I do?? I have no idea when I will be able to start my clinicals because they let to many students into the program. I will be done with all of my other courses this summer, so it's very frustrating!!!! I hope to hear from you!! Best of luck at school!

Hi!
I've have heard mostly negatives about Laboure. Mostly administrative problems, and disorganization re: class selections..miscommunication which lead to students being delayed a year or so from graduating. I'm not sure their rate of passing the NCLEX is all too high either. Thing is, I'm biased since I overheard one of my classmates who had been at Laboure complaining about it..hence she switched to another program in Worcester.
Sorry...
It's a small school, with smaller facilities the only thing going for them is their affiliation with the Caritas Carney, but that's not saying much.
Good luck hopefully you'll have a better experience there. Tell us how it goes..

Thumbs down Re: Anyone go to Laboure College?
Laboure sucks I have been there since 2003 and Iwouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy!!!!! It's unorganized and the teachers are not help ful neither are the staff especially if you're in the evening program.

i am a nursing student at laboure college... the waitlist to be accepted into the nursing itself is quite long. but they are already working on it. the passing rate of nclex exams of laboure for 2005 is 80% which is about average. waitlist is about a year. program takes two years.

but what i like about the school is that its a small community. i can approach the administrators on a first name basis. there are no surprise additions on the tuition.

if you can give yourself three & half years, then this school is ok for you.

Yes it's a small community based school but when you approach the staff there with real problems they have no answers of any means to help you. If there is somewhere that's cheaper please consider it

i'm attending laboure.... laboure is very challenging i mean ridicously challenging.... expecting students who have great medical knowledges.... if you can go to 4 yr program do so..then you can through and fully understand everything...instead of trying to squeeze everything in such a short time...

This gentlemen went to Laboure. I think he has a lot of guts at his age, and being a hospital CEO making 6 figures a year. It shows that he did something he wanted to do, because he wanted to be a nurse.

Here is a link to the article.

That was an interesting article! Thank You. I just got a letter saying that they are accepting applications for the summer session of 2007. I am still wondering how long it will be before I can start clinicals there if I get accepted. I am applying to the evening program and am not in a terrible rush. I just need part-time. I guess I will try to get a firm answer if I get accepted.
