I googled "Dallas Nursing Institute," and could conjure up no information.

Is the Dallas Nursing Institute a nursing school? Or, is it a workplace?

Are you maybe thinking of Concorde Career Institute?

it's a concorde-type nursing school (i.e it's private and costs an arm and a leg). they will never give you info over the phone, you have to set up an appointment and go in to get any kind of info.

It was formaely know as NTPCI. I graduate Aug 3rd last day of class July 27th. A little unorganized at first but new director and new direction. I would reccommend you must be focused and committed.

I was just wondering what all you had to do, and pay for before you were able to start classes @ DNI (NTPI)?

hello, does anyone have any information on the dallas nursing institute?

You need to avoid any private nursing school like the plague.

First, they are expensive.

Second, they are a business, not an institution of high learning.

Third, even if you are a foreign national, it is less expensive to attend a community college than to go to one of those fly-by-night things.

Check into El Centro College in Dallas. They have a very, very good practical nursing program, and they are on the mass transit ("DART") route. Plus, as a student, I believe you get free passes for DART.

Good luck--and don't get cheated by a for-profit outfit! They have less to offer than a public institution.

I agree with you on most of your points. I attend Concorde Career Institute simply because I need a 'fast-track' school since I have been on waiting lists for several nursing programs around the country (we're a military family) for approximately 10 years now and have worked in the nursing field for 12 years. Private nursing schools are a business which supposedly specialize in 'education'. I will be the first one to tell you even though I am attending one, DON'T DO IT!!!!!!

These programs are not for everyone, and at $22,500 for a 9-12 month program, it's worth it to some and not to others. For me personally, I decided to do it since I'm not sure how much longer my husband and I will be in Texas. Good luck.

I wanted to say thanks for replying. Great advice. I'm a full-time DCCCD student. All 3 programs are day programs, and I have a baby that I can not afford to put in daycare. I used be enrolled in CI, like Kiya, but that program is a little far for me. DNI, has a new part-time wknd and evening.:monkeydance: I just thought this little monkey was to cute!

Well I start nights/weekends in September at DNI and I surely hope it will be for me. It has to be, actually. I work full-time, have bills to pay--how else is one supposed to get a degree (and not wait 2 years for acceptance?) This is what I want to do and I am determined to git er done.
