Brown Mackie

Published

Anyone graduate from Brown Mackie's RN program or can attest to their credibility? What would be better a school like that or a Community college that for sure is accredited? I already have a BS in Communications but just want to get an RN..

Thanx!

We have BM college in central Indiana, I would go somewhere else… I have never seen a BM graduate nurse working in my hospital system..

I am not super familiar with them, but I would say do your research. The money alone is enough to make me wary of it. I would investigate the stats on it and maybe even ask HR reps at hospitals if they routinely hire graduates from there.

If I had to be honest, I would say stay away. Although I don't know the specifics on Brown Mackie, I am saying that as a person who went to a for-profit college (not for nursing though) and completely regret it. It almost ruined my life. I was lucky - I have several friends who have hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt and will probably default on their loans. Don't go somewhere you're not sure about just for the sake of getting your RN.

I can't remember the specifics but had a friend that talked to the financial aid department. Like I said I don't remember specifics but there was something "shady" about the information she was given. She decided against going there.

I went to Brown Mackie. Passed NCLEX first attempt in 75 questions. There are many nurses at the hospital I work in that also went to Brown Mackie. Do your homework as they are not all accredited and they are very expensive. It takes a lot of outside reading because the classes go by so fast.
