   Hello ruhi, It is scary esp. when you hear & read all the stuff in the news. I will not say it is a waste of money but the program is still in the infant stage. This will be the fourth class. It was extremely hard and frustrating. You do alot of...

   Yes, that is true. They are up for accreditation in October. As, a recent grad you should look into more than one school. And also note this program is not one year.

   Yes your education is worth it and you must be a wise consumer. Frankford is a good program. I interviewed with them about 3 years ago. The staff member that interviewed me was negative about single mothers and working in the program. She told me I w...

   I think people are really looking at this whole program in a very negative way. I think is great that 20 passed and 12 passed the NCLEX. Good for them. They are RN's and working. That is the Goal. They only have two classes. Second, if you are waiti...

    I think it was wonderful of you to offer YOUR help. You didn't have to. That tells me you are the type of nurse that I want to have working next to me. One that is willing to help whenever possible. I will be calling on you for help. Thank you again.

    I agree with you. I too was in nursing school before and you are right you have to do a lot of work yourself. The ones that don't reach beyond the insturctor or lectures don't learn as much. We all learn different and an instructor can't reach all. Y...
