Went to Victory, Graduated from Victory. Passed NCLEX in on first attempt.

myself and a friend did the program together.  we both passed the NCLEX on first attempt. you need help and support, this program is challenging, especially if you are from out of state. Im from California. there's extra credits involved to make sure they meet all states standards, IE, California is very picky. 

unorganized, yes. so am I.

limited clinicals. yes. (didn't bother me, I have been an LVN in ca. for 10years.)

I remember the cohort when they all left. they were behind me. I don't know what happened but this program is challenging and stressful.  You cant expect to just Google your way through just because it is online. any and everybody thinks they can be a nurse nowadays, and when times get tough they quit.

do I recommend this program. yes and no....

 

thank you sooo much for a honest review .  so after you finished the school you were able to work as a nurse ? because she was honest at victory and said ca and nyc was the more challenging states to find a job

I graduated victory in July 2023.. I had my Florida license right away after passing NCLEX.. still waiting on my CA.  License.. I live in CA.. it was worth it especially if you live in Florida..

I've decided to work out of state in Nevada while waiting on CA to do an "investigation"

I was endorsed to Nevada in one month..I got a new grad job in the OR. But I do have 10yrs lvn experience. I think they appreciated that.

Do you have an email I can message you? I had a couple more questions if that's okay.

Hi! Did you hear anything? Their pass rate for NCLEX is 100%.

The school is on probation. The pass rate is absolutely not 100%. If you want a license endorsed from Florida to California be prepared to wait a minimum of 6 months. If you want to work in California choose another school.

Here is the initial date for approval from the FBON 12/05/2019.

An "approved" nursing education program is a program for the prelicensure education of professional or practical nurses that is conducted in Florida at an educational institution that is approved and regulated under s. 464.019, Florida Statutes. Approved RN nursing education programs are required to obtain accreditation within five years after enrolling the program's first students, pursuant to S. 464.019(11), Florida Statute.

This "career" college (this is what the Director/Owner calls it on Link'd In) is at an 'approved' status which expires in 2024 or at least 2025 (I do not know when they enrolled the first student.) That means this year!
