For profit nursing school

dialysisnurseLC · Jul 11, 2012

I will post back here when I know something ... I was kinda nervous about posting about a for profit nursing school because I have seen a lot of negativity when someone says they go to that kind of school. But I'm excited I think I have a good chance of getting in

I go to a for profit school. I start my core classes in August. I am very excited. I like my school a lot. It has it's ups and downs,but so does every other school out there. Do what is best for YOU and do not listen to any negativity otherwise :)

I agree with BGax, and i know exactly what you mean. Some will attack if they see the words for profit. It's good to know you enjoy your school bgax. I wish you all the best and i will keep everyone updated.

I will be attending Bryant and Stratton in the fall. It is highly regarded by hospitals in Milwaukee from what I have heard from recruiters.

With For Profit schools, it's really a "buyer beware" situation. I refuse to believe that all the For Profit schools are bad, but still plenty enough are bad, so to give it a bad reputation in general. My advice to anyone considering a For Profit school is to do your research ahead of time. Make sure they have their proper accreditation, and are not in a "pending" situation. Check their NCLEX passrates through the BON in your state. It can be indicative of the quality of the education provided. Talk to other people who have attended the school you are considering, if possible. For some students, a for profit school is the best option for them, and it is sad that so many schools seem to be solely out to collect the dollars without giving the student the quality of education in return.
