Nursing School Scam in Detroit Update! Please read.
The Detroit Free Press released an article about the school saying that it is not accredited by the state therefore the students enrolled would not be able to take the NCLEX. The "school" is located in a high rise building on E Grand River in Detroit. Students paid $6,000 and were told they would get their tuition back from the state. The operators of this school have no intention on giving the students' money back. They will get grants from the state, have the tuition money, and shut the doors. I know someone who is in this program. I have told her over and over to cut your losses and run. She said that the owner (who has no teaching experience at all, she is an RN) is assuring everyone that they will get their degrees. She and her son (I think might have a college degree, but in business management) have since closed CAHP Healthcare Preparations yet the students still show up. The Jamaican nursing school that they are affiliated with IS accredited and told the students that when they take their NCLEX, not to say they got their education and training from them, but that they got it online from this "Jamaican nursing school". I am trying to research the name but, have not had any luck.
So, a few times a week the students, who have paid more tuition money, sit in a room logged onto the Jamaican nursing school website taking tests with the answers provided to them by the owner and a few other nurses. I am ashamed at these people for taking students hard earned money! They need to be stopped, I just don't know how to go about it. Aside from the $6,000 in tuition money they have already taken from students, they are now asking for more money so they can help them with the online degree. The mother and son duo are scam artists and should not be taking money from people that are just trying to get their education.
