i went to ambria college of nursing. the lpn-rn program is fairly new. basically the cost is around 35,000 for the RN program or more depending on the costs of your books. don't get fooled (like me) during the info session. this school means business so they try as much to be conniving and trick you about the most important information. basically every term, either u take one class or two, theres a 600 dollar lab fee (for which the lab, you will probably barely use depending on your professor and the lab is always short stocked sometimes we have to bring our own equipments from work, i mean seriously, thats 600 bucks per person, where did our money go?). Also they haven't been approved (for LPN-RN) financial aid nor student loans... so basically you have to pay out of pocket... another bad news, the worst of all is that they are not approved by THE HIGHER LEARNING COMMISSION..which means anything you take from this school WILL NOT TRANSFER because [COLOR=#1f497d]they are accredited as a TECHNICAL SCHOOL, not a post-secondary institution. yes they did get approved for BSN program but other schools such as community colleges or elite universities such as St. Francis University or St Xavier, will not accept their credits for upper nursing level courses because once again they are not accredited, they are basically still a TECHNICAL SCHOOL since they are not accredited by THE HIGHER LEARNING COMMISSION. [COLOR=#1f497d]you can check it out yourself... don't waste your time w this school! if you are truly desperate, then go for it.. just don't regret it like i did! so PLEASE be careful and know the status of school you are attempting to apply and check their accreditations!
