Lab only options for Anatomy & Physiology? Did Straighterline but didnt need lab then
#6
Gaz Wrote:One thing to consider about CISHP is that they do not have academic accreditation. This is why students don't qualify for Pell/FASFA. CISHP could very well offer the highest quality education on the planet, but the politics of the matter is that their courses are not recognised and do not transfer. I'm not saying this is a bad thing, they have BON (and NLN) approval so upon completion of their program students are eligible to sit for the NCLEX. However, limitations exist for graduates of this program if they have plans to go to university for another program such as nurse practitioner, nurse anesthetist, leadership, informatics, BSN, etc. Also, it will not be possible to join the nurse corps in any branch of the service, work for the federal government, or teach in a state school.

In regard to the lab, it seems that the Straighterline course with lab offers the best continuity.


*THIS!!!!
Seriously, attending an unaccredited school for nursing seems like such a bad idea! I don't normally come right out and balk at someone's school choice, but you need to reconsider before you worry about the lab. Even if this is okay in FL, what if you'd like to live in another state some day? Run.
NCLEX pass rate isn't listed on website
Dept of Ed current completion rate of for-profit schools is about 27% (73% are not completing!)
RN program might get you to practice, but no options for add'l education.
BSN program is sitting at around $50,000 and they take visa.


Here is my advice, don't worry about anything I just said. Rather please go talk to 1-2 local nurse managers that oversee new hires in your community. Med-surg floor or similar. Please get them to tell you their impression of the school, instructors, and clinical training.
