The only way for one to become an RN in a year is if an individual is already a Licensed Vocational/Practical Nurse in there state. These LVN/LPN'S can do a Bridge RN program which does take a year or 3 semesters at a accredited nursing school registered with a States Nursing Board. I know in the state of California LVN/LPN's have this option. I cannot speak for other states as I live in California.

I used to work uncover with the California Board of Vocational Nursing. In my time of a year or so, I helped shut down more than a dozen schools for many of the same reasons in this report. It is an all too common problem. Owning a school of nursing is a HUGE cash cow for about the first five years until the boards of nursing catch up to their low board pass rate scores. All I can say is student beware!

CNAs are still needed, MAs are still needed, LVN/LPNs are still needed, Associate Degree RNs are still needed, but you have to start off at a community college most of the time. If you want to/can go for a BSN then by all means, but don’t get confused between an accelerated BSN program and a vortex looking to drain you of your money. Always do your research and look into all your options, not just the quicker ones. The time will always be passing by, but it’s what you do with it (not how fast you do things) that matters.

My daughter recently became an RN. From what I can gather, these nursing students at this school, wouldn’t be able to pass the exam to be a nurse. Going to school for it means nothing if you can’t pass the exam, the NCLEX, which is a national exam, and is outside of the school. So basically these students were left having paid money, but done none of the actual hospital work (clinicals) along the way that actually gives the hands on training with real patients. So don’t worry, any nurses that pass the National exam, were trained properly. Graduation from a school doesn’t make you a nurse until you pass the National exam after that. My daughter graduated, but still had to take the national exam, the NCLEX. Most legitimate nursing programs are working with hospital programs to accomplish the hands on training after you’ve started and accomplished a lot of your book learning. Then you do both the hands on and more book learning. If a school isn’t doing that, you won’t be able to actually pass the National test and become a nurse, no matter how much you pay, or what grades that school gave you. You would still have to pass that exam. And you can’t manage that without those years of study and hands on. So feel safe. Your nurses had to have been trained well to pass the National exam. Any students in doubt about a school program should ask real local nurses and doctors. They will know where the real training is done.

Nursing education programs in the U.S. are in crisis but governments are not disrupting these diploma mills. I know so many poorly performing kids from high school that received their nursing degrees from accelerated, online programs. The bigger frightening trend is Nurse Practitioner programs with so many low quality programs. These NP graduates are then in control of your health, trusted to do wide range of diagnostics and prescribe medications they have no experience with. I speak to medical doctors who are afraid of NPs they work with.

A lot of people don't seem to understand how accreditation works... it's the passing rate of the NCLEX that drives accreditation. If a school is graduating students that are failing the boards, their accreditation is on the line. There are many universities that have lost accreditation due to this, you just don't hear it on the news as much. Schools can also become accredited again after presenting a plan of action to the Board of Nursing in their state.

Right, same thing I said in my post, you don’t have the education to do that... she would have came off better doing a CNA school instead, and in Georgia you must be a RN with a master’s or above to teach anyway..

I blame the florida board of education for giving these to schools a license.

It usually takes 2 years to get an associates degree unless you have prior credits that can be applied towards the non nursing electives. In the past I have seen LPN's go into Associate degree Nursing programs and get out in a year, but they had taken summer and winter break classes in addition to the normal fall/ spring program. I believe it was an accelerated LPN to RN program that included summer Nursing classes. I have heard that some schools no longer give credit to LPN's, so they can skip the first semester of Nursing classes. Maybe someone who reads this may have a bit more information about this. My total nursing education took 2 years to obtain an Associates degree. Then 4 years part time to obtain a BSN, while I worked full time. Years later I obtained a Masters of Science in nursing over 3 years part time, again while working fulltime. (Spring, summer, fall classes each year) Suspect any school that says they can offer a full degree in a year, gives credits for life experience, or they have suspect, or no accreditation.

This is horrible. Something similar happened with a dental assisting program I was attending. Started in Jan 2020, closed for the pandemic mid March 2020. We still had to attend virtual classes which, let’s be honest - isn’t the proper setting for these fields. Bursars was still calling trying to collect payments when we later learned they knew the school was shutting down since at least that April. Luckily I was able to get my loans dismissed because of school closure. These places are frauds.

Then transfer your credits (English, Math, Science, History, Psychology, etc.) to a "state" accredited four-year university to complete a degree worth achieving.

Ask all kinds of questions because staff and the guidance counselors will lie to you. I hated that I got my Associates in Medical Assistance and nobody wanted to hire us afterwards. We didn't have proper training. We wiped down mattresses in the ER and changed bedding. No nurses at the hospital wanted to teach us anything for fear of them loosing their license.

I was on here going through profiles and so luckily i came across your marvelous and charming picture of you,which really drew my attention to get in touch with you and also i really love your profile...Nice to meet you...Can we be friends

Same shit happened to me with Sanford Brown College. I was young and dumb and believed what they told me. Still have the student loans to pay on though. Cannot transfer credits to a reputable college and my "diploma" means little to nothing.

Dont pay fight it

There’s a cna prep place in Plant City that’s doing almost this. they charge you $500 to show you how to properly glove and adjust a patient. Under the guise that paying the entrance fee gets you 1 free state exam that never happens. Teacher also missed literally half of the scheduled days without making them up.

I’m in nursing school right now and it’s hell on earth. I couldn’t imagine working this hard to leave empty handed. I feel bad for them, but there was a lack of research done on their part. I researched every program I applied to and made sure they were accredited and checked the NCLEX pass rates. I made sure to only apply to programs that had a 97% or higher pass rate. Also graduating as a RN in less than a year is super sketchy to begin with. I wish the best for them though.

One of my best friends went through nursing school and also held down a job. Took her a long time but she finally made RN.

I feel sorry for these individuals; I can’t even imagine being @ the end of this strenuous, education journey like nursing to be set back and then denied access to take the NCLEX-RN.😔

I don't feel sorry for them. They went down other avenues of learning other than real community college or university and just tried to Pay-to-win on their careers. They just kept funnelling money, knowing they werent really being educated, and after a year expecting to be a registered nurse, which other people have to attend college for 4+ years to attain. Sorry but if youre paying $20k for tuition to a 'college' that has ONE room and not so much as a gurney or a CPR training dummy inside? Youre just overpaying for an adult daycare and nothing more. These grown adults should know better.

@@ObsidianJayMusic Your the idiot, she says she was told she could become a registered nurse in less than a year! Anyone who thinks they can get an accredited 4 year degree in less than a year is a fool. Not to mention, look at the facility. Does it seem professional to anyone.

Why they thought they could take a shortcut around the actual way of doing things and got scammed for it this is all their fault like who the fuck in their right mind puts down $20,000 without doing research on what they’re signing up for

@@queens6583 a nursing program is NOT a 4 year program. It's actually 2 years. 1 year of prerequisite courses and another year in nursing classes. So yes technically once you get into a nursing program it's only about 1 year.. this is for an associate's in nursing which allows you to take the NCLEX and be an RN.. the only thing that would take 4 years is if someone starts from the beginning and goes straight into a bachelor's nursing program.

I'm going through the same thing, y'all. I already paid $18,000 and the director keeps changing our grades, changing teachers multiple times, and I'm not really learning anything there, no hands-on whatsoever. The school program was 18 months; it's been 22 months now, and I have 7 more classes. This is not right. Please help me. I will appreciate it if anyone can help. I can't even get my transcripts. The school director's name is Noldy Jean Marie Louis, and the school is called Renaissance Health Institute, located in West Palm Beach. Please help

I went through this same thing at a now defunct “college,” here where I am from but fully functioning in VA and Memphis, TN for the same reason. I’ve told the DOE federal loan people all of this and have them appeal my student loan from said school but they gave me a wild goose chase.

If it not a campus I’m suspicious. I will not do that one building in the parking lot that

You'll be hard pressed to find a nursing school these days with even a two-year associate degree. Most programs are moving to a bachelor degree as a minimum for nursing curriculum. I disagree with the students saying they shouldn't be doing "CNA" work ... it's imperative that nurses are experienced in all types of patient care. That includes knowing how to properly change sheets, bathe, feed, lift, etc. These tasks are often considered "CNA" or "nursing assistant" work, but as a nurse you'll be delegating these tasks to others and you must know if they're being done correctly... Geriatric nursing will almost always be where new nurses start their practicums for this very reason.

@@jamesnolen3934 I didn't say ADN programs didn't exist, however, the AACN came out several years ago with a position statement on academic progression in nursing. It highlights research connecting education to outcomes; and outlines the capacity of four-year colleges to enhance the level of nursing education in an effort to move towards a more highly educated nursing workforce. Acute care hospitals are showing a marked decrease in the number of ADN employed, and the nation's Magnet hospitals now require all nurse managers and nurse leaders to hold a baccalaureate or graduate degree in nursing and are encouraging all nurses to get their BSN.

@@Eric-yp9nc I totally agree that there will always be a need for nurses, no matter what degree they have. And those "clipboard" nurses you mentioned are often the biggest pains in our asses! I've been an RN for 20 years, and I have seen the direction in which "they" want nursing to go. I never said I agreed with it. I was simply stating a fact about the trajectory nursing was headed. With that being said, I'm not sure why you would pick one over the other -- there aren't any technical differences between an ADN and BSN, other than BSN nurses have a quicker pathway to adopting leadership, administrative and management roles. Congratulations on your retirement!

I was considered a cna in my first sem of nursing school and was doing cna stuff in my clonicals, so that's normal. If they would ever look into sample NCLEX questions they would have realized that a year is not enough to study it in the first place

When applying for any nursing programs, you have to make sure that the programs you are applying for are accredited nursing programs.

I am a nurse and my heart hurts for them, you go through so much trying to get through a nursing program.

Always, Always, ALWAYS go to a nursing school with a long and traceable history and a very good reputation. These fly-by-night schools that are in business parks or strip malls are garbage and you will end up scammed like these poor people.

11 years ago I went to American Career College. They say once get out you will make a ton of money and they pay was a joke. Sounds exactly what they did

I feel bad for every woman Ik that’s a nurse or aspiring to be one I hope they alright.
