  3. $57,000 for an ADN at Kaplan?!!!!!!

    Buyer beware replied to DomoniqueH's topic in School, College Programs

    DomoniqueH: Please don't spend 57K for an AD. It's too much money and for-profit schools have miserable graduation and retention rates. Just look at what happened to the students recently when the...

    Buyer beware replied to thunderstruck1397's topic in Chamberlain College

    OP: I'm interested in how the program will assist in finding the approximately five preceptors you will need at the final third of the program? Also do they make you sign an "arbitration agreement" as...

  5. ITT Tech closing ALL schools nationwide

    Buyer beware replied to klone's topic in Nursing News

    LoganK: you've done a lot of homework in this area but you need to do much more to fully grasp the politics of all accrediting organizations. So while you wouldn't call the accrediting organizations...

  7. ITT Tech closing ALL schools nationwide

    Buyer beware replied to klone's topic in Nursing News

    Amen to that. A lot of us went to school when there seemed to be more of a concern for the student and the quality of education they received which was more often than not guided by principals of...

  8. Recycled topics (vent)

    Buyer beware replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    My favorite shill/stupido line is" I don't (know) what the fuss is about. I've read some bad reviews about ITT tech and it's a little expensive but I'm a dummy and am gonna take a chance on losing...

  9. ITT/ Breckinridge No Longer Accepting New Students

    Buyer beware replied to meanmaryjean's topic in General Students

    Yes. But as far as the faculty is concerned it only adds credence to the adage that one must always be aware of who you associate or "walk with." The academics have always lent legitamacy to these...

  10. Recycled topics (vent)

    Buyer beware replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

  13. Frustrated

    Buyer beware replied to NewbieFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The 3-5 five year thing is just another smokescreen. You have a ton of experience. But you hit the nail on the head. The field in most places worth a damn is saturated. But I will say this: better it...

  14. Resigning before 6 month probation period - ineligible for rehire?

    Buyer beware replied to DesertSky's topic in General Nursing

    OP: I do not understand this hospital's policy. You were on a probationary period. By definition this trial-run, if you will, is designated as such in most instances that I know of as a "get...

  15. VCU FNP program

    Buyer beware replied to Iseals's topic in School, College Programs

  18. Online FNP program?

  22. Student Loans

    Buyer beware replied to fyrephish's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  25. Type of schools to get BSN?

    Buyer beware replied to Elven_RN's topic in General Students

    Very true. A prestigious school for nursing would be something you would want to attend more for ego gratification than getting a leg up in the field of nursing. Frankly, I can't think of one...
