North Palm College of Nursing - LPN to RN Online

Published

I'm looking for opinions of anyone who has attended, currently attends, or has been accepted to the online LPN to RN program at North Palm College of Nursing. 

What are the online lectures like? Are there live or recorded video lectures? It's my understanding clinical are local to the college. How often do you attend clinicals? Can you please share any pros and cons about the program?

I just found out, North Palm is lying to students....They said theyre in the process of accreditation with ACEN right? So im assuming they have started the application bc it takes a year or more to be accredited. I emailed ACEN and this is what they had to say:

Whoo that still don't mean the school not legit I have contacted Florida BON and they gave the okay to attend 

Did I say the school is NOT legit?? I said the school is NOT accredited

@Jahar 

I'm just stating facts—it's important for people to know the school isn't accredited by any recognized agency, only approved by the Florida Board of Nursing. That's a big difference and could affect students' future opportunities. I'm not miserable, just informed.

 

@Jahar

The school claims they're in the process of accreditation, so I followed up and contacted the accrediting agency directly. They told me there's no record of an application. That's not being miserable—that's doing due diligence and sharing accurate info

I told you guys! Something strange about North Palm. I emailed accreditation agency, and NO application has been sent from North Palm. 

Glacey LOL you keep saying that!!  them ppl never said ACEN they said they are in the process of ACCSC accreditation. Did you reach out to ACCSC because if you did I love to hear what they said about that . I  have talked to a rep at the school have  you talked to any rep or applied to the school? I have and I started my application but I am looking at 4 online programs and weighing my options. I am in agreement it sounds to good to be true but thats why we research  

@Glacey At this point so what, it's a very new program and we are not slow, it takes time for them to get accreditation, the school has been open Sept 2023.

Pinaeapple so I was correct in the other post that I read they didn't say ACEN right it was ACCSC I went and looked that up it stands for Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges

@pineapples303

Actually, they did mention ACEN—here's the post from the school itself stating they're "in the process of accreditation with ACCSC and ACEN.” I followed up directly with ACEN, and has no record of an application.

 

It's wild that sharing facts gets this kind of reaction. I'm not miserable—I'm just making sure people don't waste time or money based on misleading info. If that bothers you, that says more about you than me.

Glacey you responded that they are lying and something isn't right with them but the false came in when you said that they stated they were ACEn accredited maybe you misread what Northpalm rep posted it was ACCSC not ACEN 

Just to clarify, I didn't misread anything. North Palm did say they're in the process of accreditation with both ACCSC and ACEN—I've attached the screenshot from their official Facebook post for reference.
