Beeutiful

Thank you so much NRSKarenRN for the info. :thankya::thankya:

Matter of fact, I am going to report them to the Better Business Bureau (BBB) of Washington DC today!!!!!!!!! Somebody needs to help us because we are paying money that we work hard for. We make sacrifices, but they treat students like "whatever...go to another school if u dont feel satisfied here" I hope that school shuts down soon!! I am going to report them seriously. I just need to research where else I can report them!! :angryfire

Also if you are already an LPN and looking to join an RN school, why dont you try NOVA's LPN to RN transition program or I hear there's a school called Nursing Review Center in the Hyattsville area in MD which also offers RN classes and is relatively cheap. Going to Radians for 36000K is a RIP OFF. Am really not a fan of that school!!!!!

Yes, am a former Radians college student. I really wouldnt advise anyone to go to Radians evening class. First of all after each class, u have to do a final which is not enough in Radians. U also have to do an ATI test to proceed to the next class and I hear now they're doing HESI too. This assures that you end up repeating more than u'd like at Radians. Also its one of the most costly LPN programs in the area. The miscommunication with the Administrators is annoying. If u happen to have a problem paying ur fees say u use their month to month payment plan, U acquire a late fee of at least 150 every month which is ridiculous. Credit cards dont even charge that much. U also pay library fees for a library (that only has a handful of books mind you) and a computer lab that you rarely use or is rarely open. I also found out that the LPN program at Radians is at least 18 months long while other schools in the area are 12 months long. I would suggest you try other schools in the area that offer evening classes. There's VMT on Connecticut ave, there's UDC which is located at the Univ of DC campus on Connecticut Ave, there's also Capital Health Institute located on Georgia Ave, there's Comprehensive etc. There's also Utimate Health Nursing school out in the Falls Church VA area. DO NOT GO TO RADIANS if u know u'r struggling to make ends meet.

I have so much to complain about this school. I joined in Sept 2007, its now 2009 and am still not done with my LPN. First of all the communication btwn the administrators and students is horrible. They lie about things. I was in the first batch of evening students who were introduced to the ATI testing. They told us they were just checking how we wld fare in the exam. We did the pharmacology ATI test and guess wat, they said those who failed cld not continue, can u believe it. Said it was a new school rule. So some of my classmates ended up going to VMT in DC. I had an unfortunate accident during my 2nd sem where i was audited by the IRS and had to pay them or they wld garnish my wages so I kinda had to drop out b4 my last sem. I kept contact with the school though and was regularly talking to a the Admin. They told me I cld resume in March this year so the whole of 2008 I stayed home, saving and excited that i wld go back to my last sem and finish. When i went back in March, I was rudely told that i had to repeat my 2nd sem and cldnt proceed. Can u believe it. I wasted a whole year waiting knowing I only had Med Surg II and Pediatrics to finally finish school, only to be told i have to repeat Maternity, Med Surg I and Mental Health all of which i had passed and scored B's. I am now searching for another school but i will report Radians College to the BBB for misleading me. Wat a waste of time. And also one more word of advise to anyone planning to attend Radians, anytime u pay for books, ur fees anything......ASK FOR YOUR RECEIPT. If u dont, they will act like u never paid. I know a few pple who've had to pay school fees twice because the accountant refuses to accept that he collected any money from them. I am still pysched and will go on to finish my LPN, and hopefully by God's grace go on to be an RN. I wont give up on my dream just because Radians sucks. They will get what they deserve for giving me misleading information.

Thanks I appreciate it.

Hey am new and planning to start nursing school next year. I gotta question though, which country has a better nursing career for foreigners, USA, Canada or the U.K? Thanks alot.
