That's your choice. But, it's facts . Actually, I left and 15 current cohorts I know are personally cohorts with the school . It's the structure and the changing of the curriculum. That's the main issue. 98 percent of cohorts are indeed LPN and majority has over 7 to 25 years as a nurse . It's the structure.

Good luck , There are countless online schools that are better structured and has more results . Riggs College, Ramassen University, South University, Tampa Medical College , Ultimate Medical Academy, Frontier Nursing , Beal University,Valencia College, Smith Chason College . All the listed schools are 100 percent online . The cost varies . North Palm is a red flag . They have over 500 student currently and use Slack as a communication which is used by mortar & brick companies and that is a red flag . They should have had 3 graduation by now . Only one student graduated. Doesn't that alarm you . False promises since 2023. Over the phone they will tell you anything . The school is run by relatives and family members, Ai and anime cartoons to promote. No real life scenario online . If you don't believe me , go search on facebook and you will see "no real life human but the owner Verna, no real staff , no real cohorts from the past . All are run by Ai and cartoon characters. Go and Google on Instagram, facebook, TikTok. There is no real human that connects with this school but the owner. She even lies at clinical and doesn't want no one knows that she is the instructor onsite . That's not legal . Again , don't believe me . Ask around . You can't own an institution and also be the onsite clinical , many NP, the board of nursing will tell you "No" . This school is doing some under the table only because she use to work for Advent Health . I won't be surprise the truth comes out about the deception . I guess we as the people must build your own experience to only come back and say " I was warn but choose to go through my own experience to believe the red flags . The crazy part is this . It's countless red flags . This is a self taught school . You teaching yourself . My main question to anyone reading this thread . Would you allow a nurse to be your nurse if you knew she graduated from a school where she self taught her self to be a nurse or med school. Let that sink in . If you said "yes". That's very wild . Be honest and this will be your experience at North Palm . Goodluck

Hi, That's the school manipulation to keep the truth away from current students . Because they always changing there curriculum.

I've left this school because of all the deception . It's so crazy that with all the red flags that this school has. People are still being prey upon to attend. What's even worse. This school is promoting in California because they know schools in Cali is extremely expensive but the truth is no one has graduated. It's false lies . You are telling me only one student graduated since 2023 but the school holds over 400 cohort and non still not done . Make it make sense . Then the school hired an under imposter to bad lash on any person who spills the truth . I tell anyone to run , run , I repeat run . You're putting a high down payment and false promises. Go on Facebook and see the owner .. She doesn't post no one else from the staff that is real all because it's a family run company. Smh . Plus the owner is the instructor, the clinical onsite which illegal according to the board of nursing , yes it's illegal. Don't believe , take a shot .... This school is designed to purposely hold you back . No matter how hard to study to pass . There system is set up to fail you . It doesn't stop there . They owner makes the decision if you move forward or not . Do you passing grades doesn't mean nothing . She only concern about the NCLEX . Good luck , and prepare for a long process and hope you don't get boot out . No one has no time to waste 1 year or 2 years to be stuck . I'm sure many have the same goal mission . It's to be a nurse but this school is a big joke . All the deception is so wild .

Of course , a few confirmed. But don't even want to bother with the school . The transcript is a joke . Leaving a school that is non-accredited is not acceptable at no school . So the transcript is a waste a time coming from them . If you don't believe. You are free to contact any school if they accept transcript transfer from a non-accredited school .

That part. Thats why I exit . Again, my current friends are in the last cohort . The director is shaping up what , how , when and re-directing the curriculum. A lot of last minute changes. So, I exit do this and many factors. I just hope my good friends finish and be done . She paid countless money towards this new school. I hope she gets what was promised. I hope she is not held up just like many students that started last September and still withheld from the director. Again, many factors . Now, this is not only base on my experience. I have real friends who are currently still active students in the last block and praying to be done with this deceptive school .

Wow, I left one post with facts and here comes @pineapples . Yep. Here we go ladies. Remember, I've mentioned the reasons why many at the school are silenced. If a person vent or speak any factual about the school . The imposter staff , faculty will step in about pretend they are students and once they find out who the students are . This student will get an email that states. The student has been withdraw from the program. Now, why pineapple attack every person that share their experience about the school. Is it because you don't want the world to know the truth . Well since you have all the answers pineapple. And I know you will come to attack me . To tell you the truth , I was a big advocate for the school prior , I even referred few nurses that are actually in current the last block of the program. You want to know why they not bailing out of the program. They invested over $20,000 and currently still on a payment schedule payment plan . Also, they just want to be done . I hope so for them . That's a positive . A few was supposed to graduate since September. Sadly , they was withheld . Not because they was failing as a cover up by the school . They did not fail. So let's get that clear . They actually are the cohort after Justin. I know everything. When I find out the real truth about this school and how the school change up the curriculum and withholding the last cohorts. I know I had to remove myself. I myself was not failing . I had to save myself from the deception, manipulative and lies displayed. Listen , the only positives facts I can share about this school after what I witnessed. Is only the convenience and it's at your pace but that's tricky also . Here is why : once you submit your weekly assignment. It's not automatically graded. It's a hit or miss. If you read my previous text on it . You will see I've mentioned this . There are countless students grades that are withheld for near up to 4 weeks . Also, you have to do a weekly discussion and everything is APA style paper. Your grades will get points off for minor punctuation. Ladies , get ready to write . You are writing up to 8 APA assignments paper and up to 500 words. Get ready . Additional to the quizzes and exams. Again , your grades don't get graded on time . It's a hit or miss . The reason why : the school utilized Ai to grade your assignments along 3 persons to grade your assignment. Remind you : in my previous text , the school only has one professor. She is Verna , and is the only one . Is this normal? To have over 400 students and not at least 7 instructors. Very scary . Why we don't see other real instructors for this school ? Why is that it's only the owner floods the school social medias . Where is the staff ? Is it that she is covering something or doesn't want anyone to see what is really going on behind the scenes. The others only get instruction from her and get re-directed back to her which are the assistants. Let's jump back to the graduates . Umm , that's a lie . Only one student passed and failed the boards. But why have an excessive rate of 400 cohorts to current and still no graduates . Here it is : let's cut out the fuss . Let's get to actual facts . I know you will try your best to silent me . I am one of the one who knows the current cohorts on the last blocks and the one after them . So , I know pineapples and if you're one of them . Did you get paid to attack anyone that speaks facts and to report back to Verna . Yeap , I know you will try to go search me . It does not matter . This is freedom of speech. I have my right to speak the truth . Again , I was rooting for the school . I left not because of failing the program. I've actually was passing . I just noticed a ongoing pattern of deception with the school . I no longer wanted to continued with it . I hope the last cohorts to get what was promised to them . I hope that they don't get withheld . I hope the school polish and do what is right . Yes, I understand. No one said nursing was easy . Never one mentioned that . I'm speaking on the actual facts . Why the rates are only one student passed from this school ? So, you telling me with a school that has over 400 students and majority started last year . Why the ones that started last year are still hung and still not able to finish? You got all the answers. But, something is not right with this picture. Let's talk about clinicals . This school is not accredited. So, no hospital will accept a non-accredited school . If you don't believe me . Then ladies , you are free to contact all hospitals and get this information . I also understand that nursing homes with accept contractual agreements to accept students. In some case , if the owner worked at a particular school . They may have access to have some sort of waiver but again . If the hospital upper management knows these conditions. Not sure if that's acceptable. Well, I know I know pineapples or anyone that is highly positive about this school . I hope the best and hope you graduate and definitely pass the boards . We all want the same . It just that sometimes schools can give you one perception and after you enter the school. They don't practice what they preach . It gives a greed to only care about the money and how many students can be enrolled into the school but actual real life testimony. Answer this : why no students reveal themselves and why are they fear to do so . Out of over 50 schools in Florida . Why is it that no real testimonies from a student that graduate, pass boards or in clinicals . Many school practice this . There is no harm if the school is actually confident and know they not hiding anything from there students. This school reveals a lack of confident to let students share there testimonies. Well, give it few hours or a day . I will be attack by few or maybe the person probably working for the school . My advice ladies . Please seek a local community school that accepts financial aid , accredited by ACEN and most importantly has over 30 actual passing rate and in the state of Florida that's over 80percent . I hope everyone pass and finish. That's the goal .

I was a former student there . Any questions feel from to ask . That school is a big joke, a waste of time, preying on students. The lies and ongoing changes with the curriculum. Sadly , depending on the type of tuition you pick . Rather a down payment or a crazy monthly installment payment . Many are stuck with this. I got all details with full accuracy about this school . Thank god , I exit out and decided to leave the school before it gets worst . The structure is insane and far from logic . Where do I begin. The school use SLACK to communicate.Once you start. The first week . You might get lucky to get a response . After that , you are on your own . You never get your answers by email or Slack . Many are stuck only because of the convenient and at your own pace . But the grading system does not even help . This is how the director and owners of this school manipulates each student that enrolls. It's pure greed . Too many false narratives to get quick scam Florida schools. Just take a good look . It's not rocket science. The facts are in everyone face . Go to the board of nursing . The school only tested 1 person in 6 years since they opened. Many student are silent because they fear if they speak . They can get kicked out. Every medical school or nursing schools I've researched are so proud of there graduates or passing rates on the nursing boards. Look them up . They have graduates pictures , real social media with actual students with real actual testimonials. This school pays for reviews on Google . So you can't believe that . That was shared with me after I've became a student with this school . This school don't want no students to have no studying groups, no student engagements or interactions, plus the school has imposter pretending to be students . What is this school or director is hiding. If you go on the school Facebook .Lets talk about real students to give you insight about the school . You will be lucky to find it on here only . It is so embarrassing to see a director post over 100 videos of herself with fake Ai animations of cartoons characters. Like come on. Then , let's talk about lectures . You will have to watch weekly videos. That's your lecture. A real nursing school has real lectures. Ladies, or anyone reading this . Run , run and have your bank refund you your money . Because the school may not refund your deposit or monies back . Just file a dispute. Thank God I had the opportunity to connect with the cohorts that was in Justin which he was the only one person that graduate and fail NCLEX. Many students are in anxiety daily in hopes this school don't shut down . Yes, I get it ,, any nurse that has an active RN license and can show the board of nursing that you either have a study group or reveal you had a review course . This person can start there own school. The question is this . Can you be honest without manipulating each individual to pay out over $32,000 per student and no actual real graduation or passing cohorts. A school that has over 400 cohorts currently but only one student graduate but no real passing NCLEX . I would not recommend this school. If you want to waste your time & money just as I've done because I was naive . Go bear your self to it and be stuck . I got all answers about this school . Feel free to ask any questions. Side note : if you feel an exam After block term , you must pay per exam in some cases kicked out the school . This school is a hot mess . The director is Jamaican: her teaching ways are just as her culture back in Jamaica. Which is this . If you pass , she still will drill you . Smh in other ways . Like what director, owns the school , run it and she is the only processor. Then the grading system is all Ai. At the end of the day . What is hide in the dark will come in the light . I'm sure many crazy news will up fold about this school on the news . It's coming and I'm hear to see it . Nothing sits right with that school . Everything is all Ai. You are entitled to your own experience. Just wait till you get to term 3 . That's when it will hit you . Also, don't believe the 9months 12 months hype. Thats a lie . They tell you anything to get your money . Then the curriculum changes . Since Florida has no statue limitation. The director taking advantage of changing as she please . Good luck if you still don't believe.

This is a positive message: For all future nurses who wants any information about North Palm College . I'm currently a student and it's the best decision. The last 8 months prior to school . I've contact many schools but this one work best for me . I've responded to one of the students who literally drop out . Not because the school did not work with her . She decided that own her own . Yes , the school is out of pocket because it's fair new . The school has a strong record with NCLEX program prior to the school started . You can search there program . It's call NCLEXED . Google and research. The school was a review program prior to officially converting into a school . During orientation when I first started. The founder mention nothing but great news for the school . The school is ongoing there accreditation. Plus the school with be starting there BSN program in 2026. So if you start this year . All students will be starting in the right direction. The school clinicials are done at AdventHealth in Orlando Florida and they have 4 hospitals . If you are out of town . The school will fly you out for clinicals which is included in your tuition . There is an upcoming graduation cohort so you will be seeing that displayed very soon on the school website . I hope this helps a few future nurses on here .

I've started June cohort for North Palm College . It's all positive and going great.

I'm starting a support group . Anyone interested can email Icanwork1981 @ gmail .com

Hello ladies, Not sure what is going on but it's clear . The school is extremely busy .

What ever you do . Run from Riggs College. After attending the school , we noticed Riggs lied about there passing NCLEX rates and they are placed on probation. So, it would be a risk for anyone to attend the school. It's up to anyone to do what they desire because I was all for Riggs College (because of the tuition) after I've learned about the details about they was placed on probation. I've changed my mind and contact North Palm . If you don't believe me, you can call them because they must disclose that and you will also find that with the board of nursing ... If you read any of my threads from few months earlier. I had an horrible experience with Riggs College. Yes, anyone will be better off with North Palm College. I was accepted into the program. Plus, 3 of my friends are current students there and have nothing but great feedback. Im just confused about the deposit on down payment but I will start for June cohort....

Hi @Shelley F nice to meet you . My friend is a current student there and she started back in January. Been trying to connect with many that started back in 2023 or 2024. But it's been hard connecting with anyone that started back then . I've been accepted and will be starting in June . Would like to stay in contact.

@pineapples303 Not to be rude , you're coming extremely aggressive through each post one by one like a tik tok boom. Giving much a mule to me . The real question is " Are you a current student " . I know " I am " It's okay that I have my facts . I personally know 3 North Palm students whom recently started there . I currently attend Riggs College and made great friends and 3 doing there clinicals and about to complete . Few that graduated last year working in Florida license with no issues. Your opinion giving mule hater vibes . If you took your time to go back and read what I've stated maybe you would not sound so aggressive or upset. Who knows you probably an undercover staff or maybe you are (Lauren) the advisor . Now let's go back to what you mentioned: You said red flags . Any schools that are less than 3 years should be a red flag to anyone to question. Regardless of North Palm ,Riggs ,ICH, and schools. My point that you took and went left with it . What I said I stand on it. North Palm was established in 2021. So why charge $26,000 especially when they have no accreditation and asking new students to put down high amounts such as $4,000,$6,000 or even $9,000 before you start paying a monthly plan. That's what was given to me . And I personally know 4 students attending there . So I have facts . I just choose not to attend a school that is over charging more than a public school, community school. That's my intake . North Palm stated they applied for accreditation. I was told by Lauren but when you contact ACEN , that's a lie . There are no records stating this . Since you stated about Riggs accreditation. Okay let's dive into it . Riggs recent NCLEX (2024)only fail by 1 percent and score 80%. Recent years (2023) 88 pass NCLEX. (2022) 86 pass NCLEX rates Not so bad . . From my understanding. It just shows that 1 percent of the group had a hiccup . At least I can make a judgement. North Palm has no track scores at all. That's risky Accreditation : Lets all define the meaning. Nursing accreditation is the piece that evaluates the meat of the nursing program. There are by multiple agencies. The state board is one in some states, as others mentioned there's also the CCNE, ACEN and ABHES. I typically only see ABHES for ADN and PN programs. Accreditation is a process where a board of experts go through a school from to to bottom to make sure they align to a standard. Those standards vary with the accreditation board. They'll look at things like: curriculum, it's theoretical underpinnings, how content is delivered, how is learning evaluated, what's the process for upkeep, etc faculty what are their credentials, what type of development is done, their training/Orientation, etc student satisfaction, how are grievances addressed, NCLEX first time pass rates, what kind of support is there for them during their education and after graduation. probably others, but I can't remember, LOL. It's a very long process, it can take up to 5 years for some. There's an intent to apply, then self study, then the actual visit, then recommendations for change, plus other background stuff I might not be aware of. The school I'm currently working for is going through regional accreditation. It's an insane amount of work. Hope this helps. Facts on license: It doesn't matter when getting hired - it matters when getting LICENSED. If the school does not meet accreditation before you graduate you will be unable to get your nursing license. (Depending on your state board of nursing ) stands for BON In my state the school only has to be approved by the state's BON. Even if it's not accredited they can still sit for the boards. If it doesn't get accredited, it could matter. I know a few nurses that tried applying to jobs lately and one of the requirements for multiple health systems around me is that you graduated from an accredited college (most hospitals required this ) . If a nurse applies at agencies (she will still get hired coming from a school with no accredition . So it depends on a person state. . People attend because they can still get their RN license. Not just for the accreditation. When it boils down . It all depends what works best for a person and base on a person situation. For me Riggs College works best for me . I've done my research and for me Riggs College works best . Also not one time I was pressured to put any monetary to start school . That was my decision to make and I've only place $1,000. Good things about Riggs College They use ATI which preps you for NCLEX. Classes lectures are 3 days out the week . Clinical are on site at the facility & combination at the school. You pick your hours for clinical. If you have any interest just call the school .
