Hello everyone,
Please, does, anyone attend Ultimate Health School, VA? I would like to know more about the school!
Is it accredited? Are the credits transferable ( for when one wants to do RN or BSN)? Is it a good school? Are there online RN Schools that would take credits from the School' s LPN Program? If yes, which Schools?
Thanks. :)

Don't go to UHS, school is not organized at all, director of the program change the students grade if want to pass or either fail them, no matter what you get. they charge less than other school at first but failing students at middle of the program you don't have any choice then they will make more money, no matter how hard you try. Not really recommended not good school at all. you don't get what deserve and pay for it. Go some where else you will be more happy. Wrong TEST, HOT ROOM, and more issue, don't waste your time and money. you can find better school. They cheated on your money.

Some people stay in that school for few more years. They probably tell you no they didn't study, yes they do study but when it comes to final exam they will get you wrong test with 50% total of the final means you have not done anything in class even you have A+ you will fail with that ATI exam all the time because they setup and pre planned like this.

I hate to state the painfully obvious, but nursing school is NOT a pay for certification/diploma/licensure program. You could give a school a million dollars, but it would still not guarantee that you would successfully complete the program and/or pass boards.
Judging by your written English skills it seems like English might not be your first language, which might have impacted the way that you understood or studied for the program. Also, just like any other program or item you are going to spend a large sum of money on, you want to do LOTS of research on the program BEFORE you "buy" it, meaning that you want to see their accreditation, program pass rates (how many start and successfully complete the cohort), their NCLEX pass rates, etc. You also want to check out other local programs and compare length of program, cost of program, NCLEX pass rates between the programs, amount of classroom/clinical time of all the local programs, etc.
It is unfair to "condemn" a school just because of a "hard" test.
first of all if English is my second language I always do better than native language by A+ an B, there are many student who English is their native language but cant even write a line and always fail.
second we started the class by 23 students, now at the end of the first trimester not even second trimester we are ending with only 6 students, how does it look like? how do you feel about that before turning to the second trimester class is less than 1/3. Do you thing all people are second language?
finally it's not only about me its about 2/3 of the class. No matter first or second language. as I said they will pass you if they want and fail you easy if they want no matter who are you and where are you coming from!
I just tried to aware the student of the situation. Their passing rate fall below 80% now they are in probation and conditionally for NCLEX board exam.
It's all about money go to the school and then good luck.
I should listen to a lady that emailed me and said don't go there but I made mistake!

Can anyone tell me if this school is a good and reliable one? I'm considering taking the PN program but I wanted some feedback.

Hi, is anyone in this program or finished recently? Curious how the program is now that it is accredited? It has been difficult finding schools in the DC, NOVA and MD area that offer LP, is also accredited and also has not been also accused of scamming students or failing them for more money.... Would love to hear some student reviews. Thank you! :)

UHS is a good school as long as you’re focused. Nursing school is not a walk in the park. I graduated from there, I appreciate my instructors they taught well and were available for my questions outside school hours. It’s not a perfect school but I would 100% encourage you to go there. The school is accredited.
