Anyone heard of J and J Healthcare Institute?

Nursing Students School Programs

I was looking for 2nd degree BSN programs that do the hybrid classes where some are online and some are in class and found this school. Read the reviews and realized real fast they’re a scam. The 5 star reviews seem sketchy and when I kept reading and got to the 1 star reviews I discovered that they offer people gift cards for good reviews. I got bored and kept digging. Found the facebook page and they have “CNA to LPN program” that they claim takes 5 months for CNAs. I know it’s a scam, but like the amount of people who fall for these things confuses me so much. They blocked me from the page after I called them out on it and asked them what the curriculum was and what text books they use if it’s not a scam. But I was just curious if anyone had heard of this place and I’m even more curious how places like that manage to get accredited and not get sued for false advertising or something. Like that can’t be legal to advertise for programs that don’t exist, can it? IDK why it irks me so much.

I could not find them on the Florida Board of Nursing site of NCLEX pass rates . I think your instinct is right.

They are legit. They are on probation but they are legal.

Probation means they are in the death spiral.

I know they're legit. I called the Florida board of nursing cuz I was curious ? but when I asked why the schools allowed to advertise a "CNA to lpn program" that supposedly allows you to become a lpn in 5 months the lady really said "well the college credits you earn with a CNA degree carry over". I was like "you know that a CNA doesn't require college, right? In any state. No state requires college. There's no credits for being a CNA". And she just got quiet and didn't know what to say. It just makes no sense to me how that's not false advertising. I even asked the school for a copy of the names of the text books they use and they yelled at me for asking then blocked me. Like it's clearly a fake program so I just was wondering how the state even allows fake programs to be ran.

My comment is not a given, but most schools react when the first LPN NCLEX score is in the toilet, not wait until the next 2 years are in the toilet. which leads to probation .  ..They do not have an LPN to RN program. The FBON just approves programs..but I agree with you they should determine if the advertising is true and accurate. I am so glad you caught on and you may help many other prospective students from buying their "CNA to LPN" in 5 months advertising that is "magic beans" from Jack and the Bean stalk.

When I saw the ad on facebook I was so shocked by the amount of CNAs who were falling for it and getting so mad when I told them it's not real. But I'm not shocked that Florida of all places allows the false advertising.

I think you just got a bad representative. I know that if you have clinical experience that you can prove that you can go onto the program and that they advise you to still stay in the program even after you graduate because no one knows everything and it's always good to have refreshers to make sure that you do well on your NCLEX 

It is not a traditional LPN program, but it is a legitimate legal LPN program. I did not believe it myself, but I decided to put my big toe in the water and test it. It is a private school based in Florida Florida has different rules, so does California sometimes when people see schools like this? They automatically think fake but I was proven wrong and I was happy that I was in for my needs  the school fit my knees.... Maybe it will fit your needs maybe it will not but you could always sign up for a traditional LPN program. If you do not feel comfortable, but it worked for me. God bless you and good night. Enjoy your Saturday.

You cannot get your LPN in 5 months and just skip clinicals because you were a CNA. ? You're riding pretty hard for this school. You have to have a certain number of clinical hours and being a CNA doesn't count. Because clinicals are for nurses to practice their skills. That they learned in school. There's a reason the program isn't even mentioned on their website, the Florida board has no record of the CNA to lpn program, and they couldn't even tell me anything about it past "send us this amount of money"
