Hi! I was checking to see if anyone has heard of this school. Any thoughts on this hybrid class. If anyone is applying for the October start date, feel free to send a message. Looking forward to meeting anyone who has or will be attending this school. thanks!

$75k for an associate's degree and that doesn't include any required pre-req's.

Hope that's a joke. Otherwise it's RIDICULOUS!

In-state community college tuition for an ADN in DE is less than 10K...total!

So I did talked to them Yesterday. It is not a Hybrid class. It is In person class for $75K. It’s crazy expensive For  ADN program. Cross out off my list.

Really? I thoughts it’s all included in that amount?

They said it’s hybrid twice a week?

[AspiringRN2B, BSN, LVN, RN]

So they confirmed that  it isn’t hybrid. Their page of their packet isn’t true then.

Yes I have. Just waiting for all my credits to be transferred.  Once they evaluated. Next will be Financial Aid appointment, program plan. Then pay the application fee and take the entrance exam. That is my process that they told me to do.

Clinicals will be between on their approved states. Such as Utah, nevada, Arizona and Idaho. They told me Western part of the State mostly. This is better compare to ICHS in Florida. All my friends who goes there, they’re graduation is being pushed back due to clincals.

I will most likely be going to nightingale. Smith chason changed from when I talked to them first. First they said it’s hybrid and then changed to in person. SMH.

Did he say if the program is 2 or 3 years?
