Everest Institute

Published

Hello Everyone!

I recently applied and was accepted into Everest Institute medical assistant program. My plan is to finished the MA program before I can move on to their licensed practical nursing program. What I would like to know if Everest has a good LPN program. Did any go to Everest?

What is the tuition for the medical assistant program. I believe this school was owned by Corinthian that went out of business? If you want to be a nurse don't bother with MA. Also is this a for profit school ? What state are you in? You can do a search on this website to see other posts about this school. Go to a community college if cost is an issue for profit trade schools accept anyone that will take out outrageous loans, Kaplan & Vista college charge about $16,000 for medical assistant Vista charges $34 thousand for LPN.

Be aware that an LPN degree from Everest may not transfer to an RN program if you decide to continue your education at some point. I believe it depends on the state your program is located in (different campuses have different accreditation) but if you spent a few minutes googling Everest (and Corinthian) you'd see a LOT of problems and concerns... obviously you need to make your own decision but I don't know that I would want to go to a school that says this on their Wikipedia page: "Following significant downsizing, Everest graduates still express concerns that their degrees are worthless."

Thanks for the heads up. My plan was to go to school to be a LPN, but I do not know any science and very little math. I will continue my search for the right school. Thanks again!

Your local community college will probably be great for that! The one I did my prerequisites at had free tutoring and support - I think most do - and you can take some courses without having to sign up for a whole degree first! Good luck!

Thank you for all of your responses. I decided not to attend Everest. So, I applied and was accepted into South University for their pre-nursing program. I am excited and nervous at the same time.
