Please Please Please be careful with Nursing schools in FLORIDA...FLORIDA has a NURSING SCHOOL on every corner in every city..95% of them are not approved or accredited...I went to visit WEST PALM BEACH and driving from the airport to my hotel, I counted 13 nursing schools..All on the same strip one or two corners down from each other...No way in hell will one city have that many schools in same area..Furthermore, ain't no telling how many others were in the city..I jus seen that one area...Call your board of nursing for the state you are attending school and see if that school is legit...Don't get scammed

i have two kids who are little a 4 month old and a two year old. i found a school in florida called Medical Prep Institute Of Tampa Bay that is approved by the Florida Board but they are not accredited. I have read mxed reviews about them. They have an online asn program for out of state students. You fly in once a month fri, sat, sun to do clinicals. but now due to covid-19 i was told you do most of your clinicals i think through video simulations and you have to do 233 preceptorship hours can be done locally. and then at the end you go to tampa for a month to do skills check off for clinicals. i was about to enroll and i reached out to 3 past students only 1 recommend it. one of the reasons that they do not recommend is because they said the school gives you a bunch of difficult exit exams(that they make up themselves, its not from hesi) like 9 at the end of the program. if you do not pass the exits you wont graduate. one student said it took him a year to pass all the exits before he was able to go take nclex. right now the school is on probation as of may 2020 cos last year they closed out the year with 69% nclex pass rate. another had to go somewhere else. if yall can advice me and give me your opinions.

@mphshotboy I live in Florida too. I went to Keiser and regret it every day. They have a hold on my transcript for $300. But that’s not even the main issue. They really sell you on finishing in 16 months but they’re rushing and not preparing us for the exams

Nursing School is the money maker at the school I went to, it was corrupt, racist and inadequately prepared students for Nursing in real life. Married students graduated divorced, sane students graduated on anxiety meds and some never graduated at all they were intentionally blocked. Many passed the NCLEX but the experience of Nursing school left them broken, insecure and degraded.

You are so right. I almost got sucked in by a school that was a scam. I work full time so finding a program that works with my work schedule is tough so wen one of my good friends mother recommended the nursing school she went to I jumped at the opportunity but mama didn’t raise no fool I did my research and wen I went to meet with the advisors they sugar coated everything. Sure enough wen I asked about the program not being accredited I was told ‘oh that’s in the works’ it can take years for a school to be accredited but they want $50,000 dollars. I said no thank and politely took my behind home. You have to do your research and be vigilant bcuz they will prey upon the desperate.

I am so glad you do not sugar coat anything. You give it to us straight and thats the way it should be. Keep up the good work. Great Videos!

God truly inspired you to make this video & I appreciate the straight facts you are sharing. Im finishing up prereq's to hopefully get into spring admission which is so competitive! In spite of which I have been making sure that I did a lot of research on the schools retention and NCLEX pass rates and for 2 yr schools there are over 90%. I was looking into a 4 yr private to go straight for BSN (which is super expensive) but after this video I think I will be patient and stick w/the 2 local 2 yr schools. Super informative video💙

I completed agree! 🙏🏻 I experienced this for a semester at an unaccredited local ADN program. Professors didn’t want to teach, I failed to look at passing rate which was pitiful, and it’s was a mess of a program which nickel and dimed you. I’m now applying to an established, accredited, BSN program. Beware the scam!!! Thanks Mercy! ☺️💕

Thank you so much for educating people about this! It's a true problem!

I truly agree I have a nursing school buddy to this day that’s still fighting an appeal and I graduated 4 years ago.

One of the main reasons that people settle on for profit school is because of time. Most community colleges only offer daytime programs. Unless you live with your parents or have a husband that can put you through school... Success is almost impossible. I can tell you that community colleges and vocational schools will boot you out for failure quicker than most for profit schools will. The problem is, for profit schools can leave you in big debt; so choose wisely!

Love your videos someone who actually knows what they are talking about 👏👏👏

I believe everything you saying. I know a few nurses who didn't pass the nclex It is so sad that is so much money lost. Then nursing school was so hard and time-consuming.

Hi! I’m currently shopping around for a nursing school. I got scammed by an online school and I’m scared to commit. I’m currently an LPN and work full time. I came across 2 schools jersey college of nursing and chamberlain. I’m leaning toward chamberlains BSN program. Any advice? Any friendly advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Thank you for the info.

Wow. Very Informative

This is a good video. It focuses on what is important when a student applies.

Hello Mercy. Do you feel like in your nursing school, the teachers actually HELP the students pass rather than other nursing schools that just like to get rid of people who are struggling especially since Chamberlain is more expensive than the average nursing school? I agree with what you said in the video. Look at the NCLEX pass rates and attrition rates. The attrition rate has to do with how many people leave the program. If a lot of people are leaving, then that means it isn't a good program or something is terribly wrong. Remember that you are paying the school to train you to become an RN.

Mercy my goal is to get an ICU because I want to become a crna. For the scam u right bcse I know people who experienced it.

Mercy we love you 😘 can you share your pregnancy story as you promise. Thank you

I love that unit I have to visit your site💓💓💓

You so right! And don’t think as a new grad you will make money. I only make 28 bucks as a BSN. You will need to navigate your way to your specialty which means making sacrifices of commuting maybe. I managed to get into my specialty by luck and will do 1 year then travel to maximize my income. My advice is work smart not hard and stay away from bedside nursing.

Great information, thank you Mercy 😘👌 is the state board exam same as NCLEX please?

I have nothing to offer on this topic. Graduated from a great "in-state" college, on "the-five-year" plan. Double major nursing and business. Stayed on-track with only $5000 debt, which I gladly repaid for a great career. I was really grateful to you as the taxpayer for financing my education. Paid it forward with 21 years in the BEST military in the world. No, maybe not "get-rich", but, has provided me with an honorable living. No idea what people do about their NCLEX prep. My school taught to the test.....from DAY ONE. Great NCLEX pass rate! education from state college. Never studied for the test @all. Maybe these people are poor test takers. Maybe these people went to crap school. College degree, but, certainly not working in the field. No idea what these people are up to. Nursing school a scam? Just no. Not my experience. Ok, I did pay money.....WHICH WAS Well-spent. Just disagree with this topic. Where is the personal responsibility? How can you feel ok sending these people out to the community to function as nurses when they cannot pass the program? They cannot pass the NCLEX because they have not learned enough from the program!

Great video.

I am going to attend Chamberland in phoenix. It is accredited and other nurses recommend it. It is expensive but I only have to attend 2 years (have my prerequisites done) and it will cost the same as state university at this point. (State is 2 year wait list and far AF) So my question is... What accreditation am I looking for? How do I know it is legitimate? What 8s the direct qualifications a school needs to be considered a qualifying nursing school.

Stay away from private schools. Education is an investment so do your research and consider the costs of tuition...

I went to an ABSN at Concordia College in NY. And they had wonderful reviews online 🤦‍♀️. When I finally got in, they had revamped the entire program, new dean, new staff.. Smh. #ANightmare And Yes, out of 100 students enrolled only 20 will make it to take the state board and that is how the ended up with a 98% rating... a total set up!

I’m a firm believer that you get out what you put in. The people who went through the program cheating passed the program but couldn’t pass the NCLEX. I stayed away from the cheaters bc I knew it wouldn’t help in the long run. Yes Chamberlain is over priced but I went there with 2 years of prerequisites so that dropped my tuition to half the price. I can go on and on but I’ll be making a video about my experience with Chamberlain alone.
