Everest Institute

springing · Aug 22, 2009

Hey guys i just have a ? I am going to start classes at Everest Institute this month and after reading all of this i am not sure now ... Why are they taking students in that don't have a Highschool Diploma or GED? And you still make chump change even if you are certified no way... And what is this i hear about 8 10 and 11 dollars an hour are they #$@%^& Nuts!!!! That is nothing!!!! My tuition is going to cost 15,785 You guys are kidding me right.. Please tell me you are... Can someone pleaseeee let me know what's going on..

you're confused because people went off on a tangent about their medical assistant course when the OP was asking about their LPN program.

Medical Assistants: Make $8-10 an hour, perform like a CNA only usually less contact with bodily fluids. Huge ripoff to pay thousands of dollars to become a medical assistant.

Licensed Practical Nurses: A step above a CNA, a step below an RN and perform many of the same duties as both. Make around $16-22 an hour and can advance into the second year of an RN program. Everest charges a LOT for LPN programs, and it wouldn't be worth it if it were easy to get into LPN programs at the community colleges around here - which it isn't. If you don't want to wait years or maintain a perfect 4.0 GPA, Everest is worth a shot.
