I really want to know what other people think of this school. I have not found many reviews. How this program operates and if it is really worth the money they charge???

Hello

I am attending St.Francis College in San Jose are you in So.Cal or The Bay? I really enjoy st.francis the instructors are always there to help and the atmosphere is small so the learning process is really great. i have No complaints about the school. I have already recommended two of my friends that should be starting in September. You can write me with any questions you may have.

Thanks for your reply Steph!

That is way more than I can pay, darn it! What did you end up doing? I am assuming you are in the South Bay as well.

I admitt that the program is on the expensive side but they DO offer Financial aid for those who qualify. They also have convienent class schedules. They have the day class which is Mon-Fri 8-2pm and the evening class which is 4-10pm Mon-Fri as well. The Instructors are great as well as the atmosphere. Compared to the other Vocational schools in the area WCC (western career college)which cost about 10k more and you get treated like a number instead of a person not to mention their pass rate is VERY low. St Francis is a great school.

I'm going there. It's not as great as I thought it would be, although I do really like my instructor. She is really good and knows her stuff, and she does care about us. However, besides a few of the staff members at the school, most of the other ones don't really care about you, or your education and just seem to be there to take your money. Also, their uniform policy is ridiculous.

One thing I believe has to be considered before entering into any program is the trend of hiring LPNs in your area. If the job market is promising (especially for new grads), then, maybe it is worth it, but if you see that it may be a struggle to find a position, then, maybe reconsider making such a steep financial commitment.

Best of luck to everyone in their search for a reputable school and completing the nursing program!
