https://www.foundpath.org/nursing-program-referralsHey all, has anyone been enrolled in or completed a program with the above consulting company. They’re based out of Florida and seems to have the same blended online/ 1 weekend per month model as Med Life institute. I’ve yet to see anything online not reviews or comments. Please share if you’ve heard of them. 0 Likes

LalaT 7 Posts May 13, 2020 Hi guys. So I spoke with someone from foundpath in regard to their LPN-RN program. Name of the program is " Essential school of nursing in miami. The next class is starting May 22, which supposed to last 9 months. For now, with everything that s going on, fall classes will be online, then after it will be 1 week of clinical and 3 days for theory per month. I m looking to see if someone else has attended the program before to get more information. 0 Likes
BridgingHTX, LPN, LVN Has 12 years experience. 13 Posts May 13, 2020 I’m in the program. The program description is correct, I will be done in a few months. Although I am currently waiting to see how this will impact our clinical rotations. Otherwise, the program is good, you have to study independently and it’s pretty fast paced. Let me know if you have any specific questions 1 Likes
LalaT 7 Posts May 13, 2020 Thanks for your answer. Is it accredited?? How is clinical??? Are there exama hard or fair?? 0 Likes
BridgingHTX, LPN, LVN Has 12 years experience. 13 Posts May 13, 2020 It’s Approved meaning you can sit for your RN NCLEX. My lpn program was also approved and I sat for my boards with no issues. I think that choosing an accredited vs approved program comes down to your career goals. I don’t work at the bedside or in a patient care setting and after this program I plan to attend a RN to MSN program to go into nursing education/public community health. So for me the RN licenses is my priority. Not so much the credits to transfer etc. clinical has not yet started for me. I start clinical rotation in August. But it’s what you were told. 1week a month etc. the test are fair. You have to study and we are required to do Uworld study bank questions which help prepare for exams and answering NCLEX style questions. 0 Likes

BridgingHTX, LPN, LVN Has 12 years experience. 13 Posts May 13, 2020 I started in February. There is no financial aid, I pay out of pocket on a payment plan. There is an exit exam. 0 Likes

BridgingHTX, LPN, LVN Has 12 years experience. 13 Posts May 14, 2020 Right! But all schools secure payment before starting. this is just out of pocket so you feel it! LOL. Good luck! 0 Likes
Lisadarl143 Specializes in Nurse. 6 Posts May 14, 2020 Thank you ? What’s the program line? Is this school difficult? 0 Likes
BridgingHTX, LPN, LVN Has 12 years experience. 13 Posts May 14, 2020 The program is OK. I’m not a complainer, I just want to be in and out! I think the work is fair and the teachers are very knowledgeable. It’s really up to you and that goes with anything. Some students have had issues with being able to contact the school in a timely manner but so far I haven’t had any issues worth stressing about. LOL 0 Likes
