  1. Need feedback on two schools (Chamberlin v. Purdue Calumet)

    I'd also look into the number of candidates sent to take NCLEX. Some schools may have 100% pass rate but with fewer number of candidates. For example, Trinity College had 9 candidates who took NCLEX but with 100% pass rate. Now contrast that with ...
  2. If you're married but no kids and have 5 years of managerial experience, I'll go for a BSN. Look for a fast track program like Chamberlain College of Nursing. You can leverage your business skills and experience. Otherwise, you're just another RN.
  3. Anyone attending Ambria College for the RN program?

    LPNstudent1234... Sorry I don't share your views... Ambria never claims to be NCA HCL (Higher Learning Commission) accredited. But it is accredited since 2007. Their accreditation information is on their website. But I do agree with you about on...
  4. Ambria College

    The RN program at Ambria is rigorous. You have to study. If you don't have the time, do NOT apply. Ambria is a small private LPN school located in Hoffman Estates. The owner holds the information session because he wants to make sure that applica...
  5. Any one attending Ambria College of Nursing?

    Ambria's A&P I is 7 weeks. A&P II is another 7 weeks. To progress , you need to earn C or better. These courses meet 2 days/week or 4 nights/week. They are fast track. I recommend taking Anatomy & Physiology courses at a community co...
  6. Anyone attending Ambria College for the RN program?

    I, too, attend this school. But I have nothing but positive experience with Ambria's staff and administration. I feel that sometimes they bend over backwards for their students. Charging for graduation is a common practice that one might imagine. Rob...
  7. Any one attending Ambria College of Nursing?

    If you took your Anatomy & Physiology courses at other schools and they're transferable, the cost of the LPN is 22000. I think almost every school is in the business of selling their programs to prospective students (Just look at the add on thi...
  8. LPN Private Schools?

    Their RN program is an LPN-to-RN Bridge. They also have a new name. They're now Ambria College of Nursing.
  9. Americare Technical School (the one in Park Ridge) did not even meet the 75% pass rate required by the Board of Nursing to be in good standing. By the way the 2010 NCLEX result is already up at the Board of nursing website. And Americare Institute ha...
  10. Does Anyone Know about Americare Institute?

    I was originally considering going to Chamberlain for a BSN. They have a campus in Addison and just opened a location in Chicago right by Lane Tech H.S on Western. But I don't have the discipline to go to a straight 3 year program. I am looking for a...
  11. I attended their information session. They said they're moving because they need a bigger building for their RN program that starts in May. Honestly,I don't mind driving... I have a friend who drove all the way to another state looking for an RN scho...
  12. Does Anyone Know about Americare Institute?

    Not yet... I'm looking at the May program. How about you? What school did you choose?
  13. Does Anyone Know about Americare Institute?

    Hi Oreanna, Last year, I went to visit several private LPN schools. I wasn’t satisfied with the information I was getting. I figured I could only get the answer I am looking for unless I see it for myself. Instead of relying completely on other p...
  14. Small private nursing schools in IL

    Have you tried looking into the Illinois Board of Nursing website for a complete list of BSN programs? Here's the link that also shows their pass rates. http://nursing.illinois.gov/PDF/IlApNursingEdProgPassRates01292010.PDF
  15. LPN Private Schools?
