No problem! The June 2011 decisions are on the NLNAC website now. :) I will let you know how the exam goes. I am getting ready to take the final practice test. I'm fairly confident on all of the...

I'm in the same boat as you. I like the school and the program structure. I have been waiting for them to get their accreditation before moving forward with the school and am taking my TEAS tomorrow...

I just wanted to add that I was wrong about Herzing's NLN accreditation. They had a site visit in February and decisions will be made in June. The new lab is very
I would stay in. If you can get through the program, you have other options besides traditional nursing duties. You can easily get a job on the business side of heath care with only a few business...

It's tough right now. Every industry has been affected by the recession and it takes time for things to get back to where they were. I have done a lot of research and the market for nurses is...

Hi Littlemissgator, It's been a while since I've posted anything. I'm so glad you are enjoying the program so far. I'm postponing starting in January becuase a few days before I was supposed to take...

That's awful, I'm really sorry to hear this. You are correct that this is not normal. I always received my funds after the tuition was paid. Perhaps private school is different. Can you get a...
Hi Jen, I want to reassure you that Lake Mary is a great place to live. I recently moved here from NYC and am loving it. I've lived in FL before, but was in NYC for the past 3 years. It's soooo...

Hi, I went to Keiser today and I really liked it, but it looks like I'm looking at a January start date. In a way this is a good thing because I can apply to Keiser, Remington, and Herzing for...

Hi Littlemissgator, I'm really sorry to hear that you had a bad experience at Herzing, however I had the opposite experience. I though that the admissions coordinator was very nice and answered all...

That's a very good point about the number of students! Herzing is accredited by the NCACS because they are based in Milwaukee. Keiser is based in Ft. Lauderdale so they are accredited by SACS. I do...

Hi Littlemissgator, I'm in the same boat as you, trying to find out more info about Herzing. Are you attending the March 18th information session by any chance? I have done a lot of research on the...
