SCAM ALERT!!! MAKE SURE YOU READ THIS BEFORE CONSIDERING THIS SCHOOL FOR NURSING. I couldn’t give zero stars so that’s the reason for one star. Ms. Doss is a liar & a disgrace to nurses. Ms. Hall is just a puppet and she’s a liar too. Contacting any “administrator” is a waste of time. They’re just there to fill a seat. They lie to you ON PURPOSE. Let me stress that Ms. Doss is a liar and Ms. Hall is on the foolishness too. It seems like everyone is in cahoots with anything involving dishonesty and deception. IF YOU LIVE IN ANOTHER STATE, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO APPLY FOR AN ALABAMA NURSE LICENSE. Those liars Ms. Doss and Ms. Hall tell everyone that they have to get an Alabama license before they can get a license in their home state because you graduated from an Alabama nursing school. THAT IS NOT TRUE. Alabama has a reputation for giving out the most nursing licenses and they’re trying to uphold that as if those statistics matter or even affect the student. I listened to the liars because I didn’t think the DIRECTOR OF NURSING would be going along with that lie and for the most obvious reason, I was a student and trusted them. Ms. Hall lied to me and said that after I get the nursing license, it would be a quick and easy process to get it switched over to Georgia. All lies!! PLUS I STILL HAD TO PAY FOR A GA LICENSE. Because I did what they said I should do, the process took so long that I ended up not being able to start my new job on time and it got pushed back 6 weeks. Had they not lied to me, and I applied for licensure in my own state, I would have had my application processed in time and been able to test and start my job. I wasted time and $175 (app fee to AL BON) AND I didn’t get to start my job due to not being licensed in time. They refuse to reimburse the $175 after they purposely deceived me and lied to my face.
There is no rule made by the Alabama BON or any state board that says the state the student graduates in is where they must apply for initial licensure, then apply to their home state if applicable by endorsement.
I specifically asked Ms. Doss why am I applying for an Alabama nursing license when I don't live there or plan to practice there. I followed up again by saying that I'm paying for my own test, so why is she choosing what application I do. She told me that she "was not choosing for me. It's the board's rule" and that it was mandatory. Again, not true. LIAR, LIAR, LIAR. And Ms. Hall went right along with it.
I had to pay for a Georgia nursing license anyways. I could have done that from the beginning instead of wasting time and money doing something I was deceived into doing and it wasn’t necessary.
DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL. IT’S OVERLY EXPENSIVE AND YOU WILL BE LIED TO AND AT THESE PEOPLE’S MERCY. Not to mention, they “pass” who they want to pass. How? All assignments are tests and quizzes. They won’t let you review any of them to let you see what you missed or what subject you were weak in, so for all you know they’re entering any grade in the grade book. They claim it’s because they think people “obtained copies of the test” which can’t be true either because when you take your test, there’s a web cam right in front of your face when you take EVERY EXAM, you have to use a lockdown browser and the classroom also has cameras as well. This school is not a school of integrity. They’re not even accredited by ACEN, so there’s a bunch of scholarships and grants you won’t be eligible for, so that just adds to the expense.
Find a cheaper school, get on the wait list if you need to and be apart of a program that not only teaches and preaches about honesty and integrity, but actually models it. I got scammed and lied to and Ms. Doss (liar) knew she was lying to me. Ms. Hall (liar) knew, Ms. Jenkins knew (the dean) and Ms. Higgins (the campus president) knew. Funny thing is they all know I was deceived and lied to and keep dancing around that part. All Ms. Higgins said was to “appeal it.” There’s nothing to appeal!!!! Reimburse me my $175 that I wasted because I was lied to!!
