Thank you so much for your response. You confirmed exactly what I was thinking and fearful of. I've been out of this field so long. Seems like things are so different now. When I was a nurse most people either went to the local community college and/or the university. I feel like these non-accredited expensive schools are almost like traps. But then again students should do their research! I agree I think its time she cut her losses. She doesnt have her parents here so I plan to attempt to talk her into cutting losses with this Concorde program and getting into a real school. I need to find out if its her grades or the prereq's or what the problem is. I hope she isnt stuck because of that. If she is I will help fund a better for profit school that is accredited if necessary (if she doesnt make it into a state school). I've heard of chamberlain, keiser what are your opinions of these? Maybe since she's early in she can clep test out of some classes to not totally loose time?

I recently found out my niece is in her 9th month at concorde miramar florida. I am a bit worried since it seems not to be fully accredited. I am hoping some1 can give me some insight as to what schools she will be able to further continue her education to get a BSN ect. I'm also shocked at how expensive this school is. Yikes. She didnt mention any of this to our family until recently I think she's paying like 40k for a ADN when I got a ADN years and years ago it was like 5k at a local community college. I know most hospitals here now are looking to transition to BSN only eventually so as an old worried ant i worry :) All your answers i am grateful for!
