Hello, I am planning to attend Hondros College for the Nursing Program. I will like to know the cost of the Program, the pass rate and how good the instructors are.I have read some reviews about the program but some of the reviews are a few years back. I am planning to enroll in the LPN Program then, ADN and consequently the Online BSN program. I am planning to start in January. Thank you

Hello:

I am in the process of looking at Hondros and Bryant and Stratton ADN programs for January 2015. I am relocating from Atlanta, GA to Cleveland, Ohio. I am currently an LPN with my original license in Ohio. I was told and checked through both Nationally Accredited Boards to the ADN program is not nationally accredited, but their BSN program is nationally accredited.

Hello, thank you. Did you checkout Galen College in Cincinnatti? I think I will be attending that instead of Hondros.I already talked to admissions and I am preparing to take the PAX. When are you moving out there? I will start in January 2015. Moving there in November.

Hey guys! I attend Hondros in Fairborn. I will graduate with my ADN in March. I like the school a lot and yes they have bumps and kinks, but I really think they have come a long way over the last few years. I am doing my clinicals on a med surg floor and it's pretty interesting. Don't believe the crap you hear that Hondros grads can't get hired in a hospital. I know many people who work for the Kettering network here in Dayton that went to Hondros. My friend Lisa got a job offer from Miami Valley and she is a graduate of the program and now working on her BSN. There are so many old threads on the college but they are 2-3 years old and what those people posted is not the case now. Good luck to you all!

I graduated from Hondros' Fairborn first LPN class in June 2009. I then went on to West Chester's ADN program and graduated in Dec 2010 and passed my RN boards in Jan 2011. I first landed a job in LTC and then got hired at a hospital in their telemetry floor in March 2011 eventually moving to the float pool where I worked med-surg, telemetry, ICU, and ER between two hospitals. in July 2013 I relocated to Knoxville TN. I interviewed at 3 ERs and was offered a job in all three. I took a job and currently work in a level one trauma ER. Hondros college grads do get hired in hospitals. Many of my fellow grads work is many hospital networks in the Dayton and Cincinnati area as well in areas throughout the country. Hondros college is a great nursing school and is only getting better.

A nursing program must be nationally accredited (CCNE or ACEN). Without that, the degree is not worth your time. If you plan to advanced your education outside of what Hondros offers, you'll also want to ensure they have regional accreditation. Any school you transfer to will require both to accept the degree and courses. Last time I checked, Hondros did not have the accreditation requirements to transfer anywhere else.

Hondros is currently being sued by former students over accreditation problems. They were at a different campus than me but we got the same run around. We were promised there would NLN accred before we graduated our ADN program. Then it was going to be CCNE. Then it was going to be right after we graduated and be retro active to include us. Then they bailed on getting it for the ADN program entirely and only sought accred for their new online BSN program, "So hey just sign up for that and you'll have an accredited degree in no time!" Every campus of this school is full of lies and milks students for every dollar. Read the article for yourself, here's a quote that gets to the heart of it:

Many employers only hire graduates of accredited programs and many advanced-degree nursing programs won't accept students unless their previous degrees are from accredited programs.

I know several nurses who taught at Hondros and ran. They said it's the worst place ever and they wouldn't touch it.

I am about to graduate on June 19th from the RN program at the Fairborn location. I can't say it's been a fantastic experience, but it's not as horrible as people make it out to be. I feel very prepared to be a good, competent nurse. We did lose a instructor just last week. I am not sure the issue as to why she was let go. She was going through a lot of personal issues as I spend some one on one time with her to get some help outside class and she would confide in me. While it sucks that there are only like two weeks left in the term and we lose her I am not going to say the school sucks and blah blah. Only she and the school know the real reason. Like I said I am happy with my choice and don't regret it. I am not worried about having a job either as I will transition from my current LPN position into a RN case manager. Good luck to all and remember it is what you decide to make of it!
