TREndzetta, I am an employee at Laboure College. I can tell you that having spoken to recent graduates who are now working as nurses, they are happy that the Laboure curriculum was so difficult because they were able to pass their boards and walked into their first jobs confident. Laboure's admission standards are easier than some other competing nursing programs, and we do not have a nursing wait-list - we believe people who are passionate about becoming nurses should be given that opportunity. That being said, when you begin your courses, they are just as difficult as nursing programs at some of the more elite universities because when you leave here - you must be prepared. We offer remediation programs in nursing, tutoring and have an academic specialist on-site to make sure everyone has the support they need to make it through. Good luck with everything!

Hi everyone, full disclosure - I am a senior cabinet member at Laboure College. I would just like to add to this conversation. The College has this past year undergone significant changes: disaffiliating from Steward Health Care becoming independent for the first time and moving to a brand new campus in Milton. Throughout this change, we also polled our students and alumni and addressed their most important concerns: 1.) There was a concern that the College was run poorly - that there was not communication between offices and that different people told students different things. This has been addressed by combining all student offices into a new One-Stop center and streamlining our processes. Now a student only has to go to one place to get their questions answered and problems solved. 2.) We have heard you, and this Fall we are accepting transfer credits for A&P as well as Microbiology. Two new Vice Presidents have been hired, one in Student Enrollment and one in Academic Affairs. They are exceptional and were specifically hired because of their strong, student-centered philosophies.
