  1. Chamberlain of South Univ for FNP online program

    Buyer beware replied to 2flysteph's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    After reading my post I would give you the go-ahead to be very weary of South. Another thing to know. You must nail down the preceptor issue with any school. The quest for them is very competitive and...

  2. Chamberlain of South Univ for FNP online program

    Buyer beware replied to 2flysteph's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If one or the other, and no other choices between these expensive for-profits, I suppose Chamberlain (DeVry) is the way to go. I'm sorry to see that you seem to be in a hurry about starting school....

  3. Rasmussen A-BSN

    Buyer beware replied to krm7's topic in School, College Programs

    @krm7, The problem with soliciting information from anyone is that depending on who who ask, you will always get their version of reality and not necessarily the one that pertains to you. So I would...

  7. Itt tech-Breckinridge possible shutdown

    Buyer beware replied to Momma2bubba's topic in School, College Programs

    Yes, very many of the for-profit post secondary schools have frightening financial postions. This is not a surprise to many who follow post secondary education. The number one for-profit, based on...

  8. Getting into NP school

    Buyer beware replied to jcruz981's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  9. Not your normal tattoo thread

    Buyer beware replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Cricket you are so polite when you ask if the OP has considered a medical alert bracelet. Problem solved, right? In the South that same suggestion/concern would go like this: " bless your heart but...

  10. Surgeon's behavior

    Buyer beware replied to guest974915's topic in General Nursing

    This kind of absolute crap has been going on since the "big bang." Everything you describe is nothing but the truth. From the surgeon's surly behavior to the institution's reluctance to curtail in any...

  11. Walden University RN-BSN 2016/2017

    Buyer beware replied to MrsComboCurlz's topic in Online Distance Learning

    This for-profit has been in the news lately since they are owned by Laureate University. Two things I would do before committing to them. 1. Go to Wikipedia. Good pro and con write-up. 2. Go to...

  12. CRNA School?

    Buyer beware replied to blakee123's topic in General Students

  13. Why is it so hard to leave where you are comfortable?

    Buyer beware replied to SP1CEGRL's topic in Emergency

    OP: Human nature is the answer. Just ask some of the old crones who have been at one job site in one specialty for a dog's age, act like they single-handedly run the place and drive off fresh talent...

  14. Is Nursing School " Hard?" Would You do it Over Again?

    Buyer beware replied to injured1's topic in General Students

  16. Chamberlain college of nursing-Atlanta

    Buyer beware replied to Mxoxox's topic in Chamberlain College

    The above may be the best advise anyone ever gave you for free. Student loans are expensive especially when figured into the cost of going to this for-profit school. $80, 000 dollars plus for a...

  17. In desperate need for a NPPreceptor. Please help. For Western Washington- Puget Sound area

    Buyer beware replied to RNmeee's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  18. Getting into NP school

    Buyer beware replied to jcruz981's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yes. And they are mostly but not limited to the for-profits. Go to collegescorecard.ed.gov to look at undergraduate and retention rates of most of these lovelies and use that information to deduce how...

  19. Debating on On-Campus classes vs Online

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

    You are right to feel this way. There is an impression that the online format is less expensive than brick and mortar. Many schools are more than happy to allow this canard to propagate itself. One...

    Buyer beware replied to Neats's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    OP: The issue with South's NP program is not specifically with the the quality of their instructors, it is with just about a zillion other things. To wit: 1. Just about everyone "gets in." 2. Very...

  22. Capella university

    Buyer beware replied to Ted2013's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Go to (collegescorecard.ed.gov). Be careful who you talk with. Many schools, especially the for-profits, will sell you the primrose path. Go to reputable schools with good grad and retention rates. By...

  25. Do I have a chance in getting back into the Nursing Program after being dismissed?

    Buyer beware replied to k3ndallee's topic in General Students

    This is without a doubt the most assinine advice I have EVER heard anyone give someone who is not doing well in school. It's tantamount to saying OK, since you can't cut it academically at the school...
