- This is the "WORSE" school? You know more "THEN" twenty people? "So in a lack of better words?" And "with in" as opposed to within?
Maybe the problem is not the school... maybe you should have someone review your resume for spelling and grammatical errors.

- This is the worse school you can go to. They lie to you about what type of jobs you can get, and make you believe that your going to have a job, when you get out. i know more then 20 people, and myself that didn't get a job when we got out. So in a lack of better words this is the worse school you can go to with in a good 400 mile radius. I would say more but I do believe the is the worse place to get an education. So if your thinking of going to this school don't waste your money or time... you'll just be throwing it away on this school.

- Great review of the college. I would like to know more about the programs that you offer a degree in nursing. The one that I'm interested in is LPN in nursing or working my way up to an RN in nursing also.
