First, it's "their".
Second, you should consider changing your screen name. I believe it's against TOS to use the title if you don't have the license. If not, it is definitely frowned upon.
Third, you asked for opinions. If the school has BON approval (which is different from accreditation) and you are ok with the cost of attending, then go for it.
I would suggest comparing the prices of this school with other local schools for the same degree. Maybe also ask around at the hospitals or facilities you would be applying to work in. Find out if they hire grads from this school.
Consider how a degree from this school may impact future education as well.
Ultimately the choice is yours.

It is against TOS

I have also heard many negative things about Everest along with employers not hiring from this school. Since they're not accredited, if you wanted to continue your education to become an RN, you would have to start from scratch in a community college or university. Starting with your prereqs which could be time consuming and very costly on top of the $19k Everest charges (or whatever it may be). Ultimately the decision is yours, as I went to a pretty bad school like Everest who employers frown upon. I am embarrassed to say I went there but, just keep in mind your future may be affected job wise from this school. Good Luck!
