  1. National University FNP Program

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

    OP: I looked up their undergraduate statistics on (collegescorecard.ed.gov). This site does not give evaluative information on their graduate programs. So you are dependent on them to be honest with...

  2. Quitting Nursing School

    Buyer beware replied to hmoge's topic in General Students

    Your feelings are not uncommon. Many students go through this soul-searching. It's the ones that don't who concern me. After all, learning how to take care of sick folks can be a trial by fire, no...

    Buyer beware replied to newrn93's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You know Op, on second thought despite the majority of posters telling you that you should NEVER divulge your salary to anyone, look at it this way. In doing so it's a very efficient way to weed out...

  8. Accidentally told my coworker what I make, BIG ISSUES NOW

    Buyer beware replied to newrn93's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is an extension of the everyone should get a trophy movement which is fine with me. But the day when nurses, who own their own businesses, open up their books to potential hires, is the day when...

  10. National American University

    Buyer beware replied to Earlybird1's topic in General Nursing

  14. Resurrection University

    Buyer beware replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in Illinois Nursing

    "Accredited" means that the school has only met minimum standards of quality. It is not in itself a Good Housekeeping seal of approval of excellence. That goes for CCNE accredited schools too. Try...

  15. National American University

    Buyer beware replied to Earlybird1's topic in General Nursing

    Go to (collegescorecard.ed.gov) to see if listed. Know that NYCLEX pass rates are important but you have to know the graduation and retention rates of any given year's starting cohort to make sense of...

  20. University of Phoenix

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

    No Tonkabuck, I am not in debt. The correlation between expensive and low grad rate is erroneous. You see if that were the case, Harvard and Yale which are very expensive would have low grad rates....

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

    The few who do graduate from this mess will always tell you how great it was or all schools are the same. But they are protecting their ego and poor choice. What should you expect them to say: " 90%...
