Where did you go to school and why?

I went to St. Francis X. Cabrinin in Chicago. The hosp and school is now closed. IT was a great program, the nuns were very very strict but I passed my test the first go round.

I went to nursing school at University of North Dakota-Williston (now Williston State College). I received a great education! I paid for school with Pell grants, student loans, and a part time job.

im going to my local cc in florida. didnt choose to go private because its too expensive

the total cost for the program is about $3800 for 16 months! I start in jan.

What do you think about Apollo college for an LPN then Excellsior for an RN?

i use to go to an ILPN school in Brooklyn NY and now i found out so many bad things about it. now i dont know what to do and where to go. i want not to go to school. my boyfriend were planning on getting married next year after i graduate now everything is postpon. Do anybody a program that is in the medical fiel were it can take me to become an RN. Please help i am stuck:(

I went to Monmouth County Vocation School of Practical Nursing located(at the time)in Long Branch, NJ. It was a one year full time program I attended from 1990-1991. I went there because it was

FREE at the time. The county paid for it to address nursing shortage. It is no longer free, I think it's like 5-6 thousand now.

I would probably go back to that school. It was a good program and continues to have a good reputation. I now go to a community college. I'm working on my prereqs for the RN program-4 more to go and I can get on the waiting list!

I went to Hamilton College, now known as Kaplan University, in Cedar Falls, Iowa. I chose Hamilton over the community college in the next town because there was no waiting list & I needed to start school immediately. The cost was high, approximately $18,000 but I wasn't wasting 1-2 years on a waiting list. I graduated in September and just took & passed my NCLEX-PN this month.

I definitely would go there again if I were doing this all over. There are problems with all programs; none are perfect, but this one was OK. My only complaint is that this is a private, for profit college & will take anyone as long as they have the money & can pass an IQ test with a high enough score- and they give 3 chances to pass it. I know that they admitted people who, if they made it through the program, will never be able to pass NCLEX. We had a high dropout rate. Only 9 of the original 32 students finished the program on time. A few are in terms behind the class, repeating classes. I graduated in a class of 20. Eleven of them started earlier & had to repeat classes or transferred in. So far only 1 has not passed her boards but I suspect at least 3 more will not make it. Not a very good percentage, I'm afraid, but if they aren't more selective, that will happen.

But a program like this is perfect for someone who is serious about school & is willing to give their all. We had excellent teachers & they were always there if you needed extra help or just encouragement & a shoulder to cry on.

I am so glad you left this school. My mother actually recommended that I go there but after researching it, there was no way in heck I was going...I hope you didn't lose too much money....have you tried taking pre reqs (biology, anatomy, etc) at a local CUNY school? Or going to a private, accredited school? good luck in your search.
