I doubt any state will allow students to sit for Nclex without a clinical component. The wording on the website is fishy too. I just did a live chat session asking about clinical portion the answer I got was very short - like "yes there is" and the guy disconnected then.

WOW, yeah, that funny cause same thing happened to me too. I was asking about the clincials and poof he was gone too! Sounds shady!!

If this school is legit then wow I found the golden pot but I am thinking they sound too good to be true.

agldragonRN · Jul 3, 2009

i downloaded the program guide. it is very vague. i don't know. i don't think this program is legit.

i just tried to do some research on this school, when you type it in google alot of reviews come up matching saying it's a scam. It sounds, if they are in fact accredited then I'd be interested.

LADYLEX45 · Jul 3, 2009

It says their accredited by IAO which is the international accreditation organization (which I never heard of) and they have no physical address neither does IAO. Sounds very fishy........

agldragonRN · Jul 3, 2009

it's a scam people!!!! beware!!!!!

I would be concerned completing your asn with this school, but what I want to know is, if your already a licensed RN and you do their rn-bsn program, will it matter if their not accredited by the proper organizations.

CRTtoRN · Jul 3, 2009

I was looking for my husband who wants to go to nursing school. I think its a scam and I won't be having him go for it. I am planning on doing my RN-BSN from Indian weslyan online.

I'm calling shenanigans on that school. The first clue is that it's a .com, not a .edu. And when the same company owns the accreditation website as owns the "university" site, it's doubly suspect:

http://www.networksolutions.com/whois-search/mustuniversity.com

http://www.networksolutions.com/whois-search/internationalaccreditation.org

They created the sites within a day of each other, too. Heh. I love checking WHOIS data on these sites -- it's always very telling.

CRTtoRN, I've heard very good things about Indiana Wesleyan's program. I seriously considered them, but they want people to have at least a year of experience, and I didn't want to wait to start my RN-BSN -- I had $3K in tuition money I wanted to use before the end of 2008! In any case, good luck with your BSN program!! :)
