Comprehensive Health Academy

Published

Good morning people, I am going to be attending Comprehensive Health Academy beginning in May and on tomorrow I take the pre-entrance exam. I would like to know if anyone went to Comprehensive, is currently attending the school, or just some thoughts and ideas about that specific school. Thanks in advance for your input. Oh also let me know how the pre-entrance exam was and how the classes are going (class size, intructors, etc.)

I finish a year and a half ago. The pre-enterance exam has changed since then, so I'm not sure about that. The school is VERY STRESSFUL, but it was well worth it when i finished. I passed the compreheensive the first time. I took the boards about three months later due not having the money to pay for the boards. I passed on the first try, and the schoolis number one for their passing rates( I think they are 92%). So i will say go to the school, but don't look for an easy ride. The owners of the school are nice but FIRM people. Good luck in your schooling. I currently make $24 as a LPN so again it was worth it.

Thank you so much for the info. I will choose this school because it's 12 months and Radians is 15 months way too long.

Well make sure you let me know how you do on the pre-entrance exam when you go to the school. On Fri I will be going back up to the school to take my application and down payment. I hope to chat with you soon and hopefully see you in classes also. Good luck to you!

Hi MamaGryl, how much is the down payment and application fee. I will have to take up a loan for the tution.

The down payment is $837 and tuition is $8500. Most students at the school apply for a Sallie Mae Loan since they do not accept financial aid. Oh the application fee is $75 and $15 for background check.

Hi, I saw what you wrote about Comprehensive Health Academy. I was wondering since you had taken the metro and the bus can you tell me what bus was it that you got on and what stop did u get off at on the metro. Because gas is to high now n i believe this way is the best way financially.
