Joelseff Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Are they fully accredited? I'm reticent about their quality. A friend of mine is in that 126k BSN program.... Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timon Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I'm very aware of this school. It's actually $132k for a direct entry 3 year BSN. Last I heard a month ago was that they were having accreditation problems for their BSN. From my understanding it is because their origional accreditation was for aeronotics and not for health education although they recently just got WASC accredited. So I'm not sure if that is accurate but wanted to throw it out there. However I know a good number of nurses who graduated from there and are practicing as nurses. Their only requirement for their BSN was to pass the HESI exam which is a complete joke of a test in my opinion. It is a nice modern facility (in the IE) but the school is VERY for profit and I put them in the same category as American Career College which I believe is a sister program in terms of student satisfaction. I also recall their clinical sites for their BSN were pretty sub par. Their NCLEX pass rate is also in the 70%-83% range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
