They called to reschedule my interview for Monday. I will let you know how it goes. Hopefully it will go well for both of us and we will be classmates!
I know there have been several questions regarding the Everest Graduates and what has happened since graduation. 100% of our class passed the NCLEX on the first try. From my experience, and everyone I spoke to, we all passes with the minimum number...

It's true that depression can be a part of it, but come on, the majority of these paitents don't even listen to th efive sentences we get out because they never plan on changing their lifestyle. I injured my back caring for a 300+ lb patient with bi...
since you want to personally attack me on the thread and not pm me, here it goes: as for my accomplishments, i have a bachelors degree from a top 25 university. i spent 10 years in the business world where i was in management of a large nationwide co...
You are incorrect, at least about Everest. There is no "first come first serve basis." A nursing school's accreditation is based on how well their students perform on the NCLEX exam at the end of the program. for that reason alone it would be stu...
I PM'd you for specifics since your response was to my previous PM. I do want to post that I believe you can find students at any college or university that have complaints about their programs. Yes, some of these programs can be misleading. Peop...
i assure you that I am not an employee of Everest. i am a student, half way through the program and one year away from running, not walking to a *REAL* degree. I would put my education up against any other in the area. Although the cost of my edu...
For those of you still looking into Everest they do let you transfer in as many non-nursing classes as you want as long as your grades were C or above. That does cut down on the $$$. I am at the end of Block II now. Just a few weeks before finals....
Clinicals are great!! We have such great instructors, so we have a lot of 1 on 1 attention. The program is going well. There have been a few hiccups, but I expected that with a new program. Overall things are good. Classes are getting more diff...

I feel your pain! I'm a Carolina Girl all the way! Currently living in Phoenix and hating EVERY minute of it. I have family in charlotte. Great place! I never lived there, but grew up in Chapel Hill, lived in Durham and Greensboro. You will abs...
The NCLEX pass rates at PMI are great! Even better than those at some of the CCs. Check out the AZBON website! Just goes to show you that other programs are out there educating great nurses!

It depends on how many credits you transfer in. Each credit hour is $366. If you start from zero without Algebra, English, etc., it could be pricey. But if you are like me and transfer in almost all of your non-nursing credits then it is not that...

There is no wait list at Everest. They do require higher scores on the HESI than the other programs, but as of now, there is no wait list for the program that starts in July because they have not started advertising it yet. I do appreciate the hesit...

Things are going well. I am pleased with the program and really do not have any negative comments. It is far for me, but several of us carpool from the East Valley, so it makes things much easier. The school even has a carpool incentive that they ...

I am in the first class at Everest and would be happy to give you any info on the school from my point of view. Just let me know what info you are looking for!
Chapel Hill is going to be as expensive, if not more than Brier Creek. I lived in Durham for 7 years as a young adult and wondered why it got such a bad name. I loved it. If you look around Duke you can find some great neighborhoods that are bieng...
The program total is 108 hours, but you can tranfer in all of your non nursing credits (math, composition, literature, etc.). I transferrred in 38 hours, so that reduced tuition quite a bit. The program is going well. Because it is an accelerated...
I live in Gilbert and I carpool with 2 other girls from Queen Creek. The school actually gives you a carpool incentive. I am glad that I chose this route as opposed to still being on the waitlist.
Have any of you thought about Everest College in Phoenix? I too went to all of the info sessions at PIMA and ended up going to Everest. They do not have a limit to the number of hours that transfer and they charge per credit hour so you can save al...
...your husband, who gets home from work at 3am, wakes you up to ask you to clean your textbooks off of the bed so he can go to sleep. Then he politely points out that you may want to change your clothes too. (He's the best!)
I am in the end of block one. We take our final exam on Thursday. I have found the school to be everything I thought it would be. I have received everything I was promised. They were upfront about everything including the price. I am not sure ab...
I have not taken the NET. I have heard some people say it is harder and some say it is easier than the HESI. There is a time limit on the HESI, but it is 4 hours for the entire test. I finished fairly quickly. Can't imagine using all 4 hours. I ...
