I know several people who have gone to concorde to become an LVN or RT and have had no complaints from them. they are all employed now and some have gone on to pursue their RN at different colleges. i do remember some of my friends saying that the people who dropped out were people who didn't take the courses seriously and also because they got caught cheating. other than that, my friends who went there are very successful now.
anyway, do what you think is best and make the best out of your education. no school is perfect and there will ALWAYS be people complaining about administration, professors, etc...it's what you do with that education and training that matters :)
good luck to you!
Thank you.

I graduated from Concorde in Arlington, Tx in Sept. 09. Overall it was a good experience. The people who talked bad about it were the ones who wanted to be spoon fed answers or were failing. You finish school and do your thing. you will be glad you did. Im an LVN at nursing/rehab facility. The pay is good and i really like my job so dont give up. Tune out the negative and do you.
