New program. For profit.

Specializes in Psych, Corrections, Med-Surg, Ambulatory.

Only 1 student has graduated from there (according to their website) and there are no stats on whether that person found a job. Nothing about this place bodes well. I'd keep looking for a more reasonably-priced program with a track record.

Oh...gotcha.

OP, please utilize due diligence and look for a more affordable program; look into a CNA class at a local community college; it would be far more reasonable to do that than spend 25 grand, and may not complete the program.

Please peruse the forums and in the search bar, look up "for-profit" schools and take a look at those threads before THINKING about singing up with ANY school outside of a community college or a public university.

Best wishes.

Hi @sassy1234 the school is good. Yes its expensive coz its a private school and they started they nursing program last year in 2013 so its pretty new. I actualy know someone whoz abt to graduate from the program and its a five semester accelerates classes iam actually applying for they RN program for january'15 iam currently studing to take my nln pax which is one of they requirements entrance exam,with a passing grade of 100% or better :( yeap that a tough one,but iam determined to get the 100%. I need all the i can get.

Ok so back to you, i think if you wanna go for a AMA program there alot of cheaper places around NY and NJ you can get into. its not as competitive and hard acceptance process like nursing. On the other hand if you wanna go for a RN Program "accelerated program" and willing to do the work coz its a hard and fast prgram Then you are looking at the right place. Now if i were yiu i wouldnt count it out yet before atleast trying it by taking they entrance exam and see how you do if its even what you can do that all.
