Thank you so much for the information and advice. You've been very helpful! I agree that you get out of something, what you put into it. Now I just need to decide if the cost is something that I can deal with you. Best regards.

Thanks for your reply. I have heard quite a bit of negative stuff. One major issue I have is the cost of the school. I've heard it's around $13,000. Is that true? I've also heard that their passrate for the NCLEX is not that great.

Hello All, I am new to the board. I am mulling over a career in nursing, most likely starting as a LPN and possibly advancing later. I live in Richmond, VA and only have a few options for programs. One of those options is the Richmond School of Health and Technology. I've called them and so far, I don't get a warm-fuzzy kind of feeling. It feels very much like a sales pitch rather than a place to get an education. I have to go in and speak with someone in order to get even the most basic information and before I can do that, I have to take a 90 minute long assessment test. I'm a busy girl, I don't have time for this sort of thing unless it's worth it. My questions are, has anyone gone to this school for the LPN program or know anyone who has? How much did it cost? Where were the clinicals? Was it a good education? Did you feel prepared for the licensing exam afterwards? Please, any help would be greatly appreciated. If it's worth it and I can afford the program, I'll happily jump through their hoops. Thanks!
