Someone please help me with this.. I really don't want to make a bad choice... I'm not trying to start until next year in Sept..

I'm attending Everest for their LPN program right now. I'm in the full time program..I started in May. I have about 5 months left to go. There are pros and cons to Everest (in my opinion) so I guess I'll start with the pros. Since I have been there, there have been many students come back to tell us that they took their boards and passed 1st try. I believe Everest has a 90% pass rate for the NCLEX-PN. I have also seen many Everest graduates working as LPNs at my clinical sites. The full time program has 3 levels..I'm at the end of level two. It is VERY demanding and challenging, but I am learning A LOT. This is my second time attending Everest..I went back in 2008 for their medical assistant program. I wouldn't worry about not finding a job..if you are determined enough to find one, I am positive you will be successful. As far as the cons..I believe Everest should have more clincal sites to offer, and the lab could be better. The price is also high, but it's either pay to get it over with or sit on someone's wait list for years like I did until I decided to go back to Everest. Overall, I am VERY happy I decided to start this program, and I wish you the best of luck!

are you going to the Everest in Indiana? will they take your credits so you can bridge over? I am going to take the test in two weeks and see if i can do their full time program.

I was unable to reply to your private message, but I'm in Michigan..I'm not sure how the credits work to bridge over. Did you take the test yet?

I haven't taken the test. I'm really scared! I don't mind investing that amount of money at all. My biggest fear is that I won't be able to find a job and bridge over! Can you email me...I am unable to read any of my messages for some [email protected]

I know this is an old post sorry but was wondering if this program bridged over as well... I am skeptical about doing the pn but even for the asn what if it doesn't bridge over for the bsn.. ya know I just need some help with this college.
