  1. Thanks for the response Gin Gin. I've heard similar not so good responses regarding Maria College. It's a shame about Hudson Valley, Troy, NY, but best to know ahead of time!!
  2. VERMONT TECH--BEWARE

    I'm going to be part of an upcoming class-action lawsuit going back several years against this community college's nursing program. I would STRONGLY advise not going to this school. Most of the infractions and illegal activity is from the Benningto...
  3. Attrition rates like that just don't sound reasonable! So you recommend Northeast health program's at Samaritan & Memorial. Do you know of anyone who's done these programs or Sage?
  4. Has anyone attended this school? Would you recommend it? 2-year waiting listt?
  5. Hello, I'm concerned about my nursing education that I've received. My school is going to go under investigation for unethical practices, discrimination & something along the lines of confiscated activity fees going back many years!!! The CEO o...
  6. Help!! Failing last few weeks of clinical

    Thanks for sharing how your school administers the clinical grading process. A New York State school, right? Do you feel the clinical process was run fairly? Still the process seems inherently subjective to me. Say your instructor sees you walking...
  7. Help!! Failing last few weeks of clinical

    It's true, the things I listed are the actual infractions. (Nothing close to critical.) No one can believe it, especially me. What would you say would justify a clinical failure?
  8. Help!! Failing last few weeks of clinical

    Truly, I don't see either how they could fail anyone in the last month for such minor things. But this nursing school has been the strangest, most horrendous experience when it comes to unethical practices, unfairness, meanness, unprofessionalism, n...
  9. Help!! Failing last few weeks of clinical

    Let's see . . . I used the word "extremities" to a patient--ie medical terminology. I didn't provide "teaching" to a patient who had no questions and said she needed no teaching. I didn't change an empty colostomy bag immediately, instead of when th...
  10. Help!! Failing last few weeks of clinical

    Yes, I've gotten written up 3 times in 2 weeks!! For the most minute things--certainly not constituting a failure!! Funny, how the instructor's say they want "students to succeed" and then do everything they can to see that it doesn't happen. Wow!...
  11. Well, after a great year in LPN school--they're saying I'm now( just before graduation) that I'm failing clinical & thus failing the entire program!! They're writing me up for the smallest, tiniest things!! Has anyone been through this and know...
  12. Any students from the Albany,NY area?

    Everything about Excelsior sounds great. Except for the clinical trials with its less than good pass rate. Should I be concerned or forge ahead nonetheless? Many from this site have been successful, while some have not. What's causing so many to ...
  13. Any students from the Albany,NY area?

    Hello Nytia! I've been deciphering this process as well & have decided on EC. What's even better is that I'm near Albany, NY too & will not have to travel to write the exams! Nice to have someone on the site close to home. When are you thi...
  14. Can we please chime in as to whether indiana state is offering a viable program for LPNs to BSNs? How about responses from current students?
  15. Indiana State????

    In their literature, they say they will find you a preceptior in your area by contacting the nurse executives? Has this not been the case? Apparently from this message, they make you do all the legwork?
