Does anyone currently attend Laboure College for their nursing program?

[jm1988]

Hi, im 21 years old currently taking courses for nursing programs. I would like to apply there and I've heard negative things in the past about the school, i was wondering is there any updates and how is it like now? also what type of grades do you need to get accepted ?

thanks.

HI,

Just wanted to add some input. I saw you said that Laboure was 30,000 total. I don't know who gave you that price but that is NOT the case. The nursing courses alone are 10,000 each - and you have to take 4, so thats 40,000 right there. And unless you did all your gen eds somewhere else (and some you have to take at the school) the total is more like 50,000-60,000. I graduated there May 2014.

Hey, that was in my Finacial aid package that laboure gave me, yes I did most of my gen eds already I only have 5 that I need to complete, and the 4 nursing course left

Oh I get what you're saying, in the conversation I was having above I was talking about yearly not total!

I just applied to the nursing program and I was wondering what the average gpa is for acceptance? I'm a bit nervous because I really want to get into the program!!!

Hi,

i think it depends are you a high school graduate?? Or college transfer?

Im a college transfer with a 3.12 gpa of mostly science credits, i personally think you should call the school set up a meeting with an advisor, this will boost your chances of getting in even more if you have a low gpa. With that being said i got accepeted witnin 1 week of applying!

They also do on the spot decisions

I just graduated with my bachelors last month with a 3.25 gpa. I hope that's enough to get in! Congratulations!!! When do you start the program? If I get in, I plan on starting in January.

[kimhuynh]

If thats the case i think you should have no problem with getting in! Although since you already have a bachelors have you thought about accelerated nursing programs?

i start this september! I already signed up for classes so excieting !

[Bostongirl21]

How long did it take for you to hear back with an acceptance? I'm also going to look into accelerated programs as well.

I think i applied around feburary and heard back with an acceptence email within 1 week later
