Questions to ask at prospective schools?

Published

I have appointments at two different schools this week to tour the facility and get financial aid info, etc. I've done a lot of research and these are the two programs I've narrowed it down to.

Can anyone give me some advice on what kinds of questions I should make sure to ask other than the obvious-pass rates, job placement, accreditation, etc. Any things I should be looking for when there?

Any and all advice is appreciated!

Thanks!

I always ask them about clinical sites , job placement , instructors -who are they?, what is the capacity of the class (student/professor ratio), is there an NCLEX review, what's included into tuition. I am CNA with bachelor degree in some other area but trying to get into a nursing program , for a long time I couldn't decide whether I should go for LVN or RN , right now I am thinking to take the route as follow CNA---LVN----PRE-REQS(MICRO/PHSIO)---30 UNIT OPTION RN.

When I went to my interview, the main two questions that I asked were about the clinical sites, the pass rate (although you could go under your state board and see for yourself) BUT, the main question that I asked was about accreditation to see if I am able to transfer anything into an LPN- RN bridge program as well as transfer my credits into their schools
