Any feedback on Miami Jacobs ?


Hi ,
I am writing for my cousin, she is about to decide which LPN school to go to but want to give a shout out if anyone can share any insight:

my questions:

1. any particular MJ campus is better than any of the others? We need to decide between dayton or springboro if she goes to MJ at all..also what is the current accredition status?

2. Also they dont give me a ball park figure for the likely tuition, can anyone share how they figured out the payments , you can PM me if you would like..

3.also like what we see of hondros (Mason campus) , very expensive but seems nice..

Please do let me know..thanks in advance!

I would be cautious about attending Miami Jacobs. I did not attend, but I looked at them and toured the school before attending my current school. First of all, they are on "provisional accreditation," which means that they had FULL accreditation and then lost it for doing something wrong. It also means that they must fix what is wrong within a specified time limit or the Board of Nursing can yank away their accreditation completely.

Miami Jacobs is every bit as expensive as Hondros, if not more so. The total tuition for MJ was around $20,000 for the LPN program. I think with books and uniforms, it was slightly more. I would not go to this school, but that is just my opinion.

I know nothing about the quality of the instructors or the clinicals, since I did not actually attend. However, I just did not have a good feeling about the school in general. That is why I decided to attend elsewhere. Ultimately, it's you (your cousin's) decision, and you have to do what feels best and right to you. Good luck.

I attended mjcc dayton campus, and i would not reccomend it, although when i graduated, it semmed to be getting better. The instructors were awesome, but the school itself is all about the money.

Hi! I attended Miami Valley Career Technology Center (MVCTC) and highly recommend it. The school itself is in Clayton but they also offer classes at the Dayton VA hospital, which was closer for me than Clayton. They are not a "For Profit" school. It is a career center and the adult division offers the PN program. I graduated a year ago and the tuition at the time was about $12,000. You do have to spend about $300 for uniforms. IV certification is taught in the program too. It's a very good school with a very good reputation.

I feel that everyone has a different perspective. I have SEVERAL positive quotes I could post that states the opposite that that MJCC is an amazing school. The school has changed futures and lives. I feel your cousin should tour and make her own decision not deciding on some folks opinions. All of the campuses have Facebook and Myspace so check those out and see what the current students say
