Such a shame that there are so many bad reviews of my alma mater. Granted, it was eons ago that I graduated from nursing there in 1983. Longer than the age of current students. My experience there was exceptional! Instructors to staff in administration to even janitors. I’ll always remember Laboure’ and the great class I graduated with there. Good luck to you all.

Laboure is a private college therefore unnecessarily expensive. The teachers are great from my experience for both the ASN and BSN programs. I vowed never to recommend any one at this school because of how much $$$$ they steal from students but the BSN tuition changed that a little. I would have given 5 stars if I wasn't threatened to be sent to a collection agency because of graduation fee. Anyone who attends Laboure has to be financially prepared because if you're not, your stress level will be very high. Best advice - don't go there if youre tuition/money conscious! With the 100% online BSN

The education system is a scam. We're all adults, that's no secret. Laboure is here to take advantage of people desperate for a career change. Whatever! I decided paying for some steeply priced classes for a year was worth it.
After a hectic application process to the NDT program I was ready to take my place as a student and push through the year. Jacquelyn Polito had other plans in mind. She is the most power hungry miserable hateful person I've ever come across and she will toy with your life just because she can. Don't put yourself in a position where your 1 year and $12000

I attended for the IOM program and it was stated to begin the program you have to have a hospital site secured. I was speaking with the program director from the start who told me that she would help me find a hospital site, she ended up getting a teacher in the program to help me and they told me that I had gotten the site. I then received an acceptance letter from the school with the start date in the hospital. I leave my job and move to be able to go to the hospital and it turns out I was lied to and I did not actually have a hospital site. They attempted to work with me to find me another site

I would not consider the CDI program for several reasons. 1. Outdated material. They are teaching 2017 guidelines when 2019 are being used with industry. 2. The instructors do not review assignments before posting, again outdated and many grammatical errors. Outdated syllabus that do not reflect assignments. I do not believe this is acceptable learning approach.

How can a school accept a student and have no space for clinical assignments?! My daughter took all her prerequisite classes this summer, straight A's, and then was waitlisted for the fall. She has no other classes to take and was told to start taking her BSN classes. This is really unacceptable and for a school that was based on Catholic background seems immoral. I am a former Laboure graduate and am saddened to hear this is their new practice.

This place is all about money. They charge 3 times more for each classes comparing to other schools but their courses are shorter. We went there in person to obtain some general information, the advisor was very encouraging and giving us so much hope as the good candidates to apply for the summer classes! ( its $50 fee to apply) and once we decided to apply, he emailed us that they have no opening until fall 2020. How could you work as an advisor in that expensive school and have no idea about the general questions!! Very confusing and very very disappointing!! After reading all their reviews

You have been warned do NOT go to this school. I would give a zero if I could. I wasted so much time and energy in this school and bottom line they want your money- they don't care about you. You think as a big nursing school they would be caring and empathetic -nope are you wealthy and have money to blow? Then go here, they will be more than happy to take it. I will be suing in the future.

I am so happy I chose Laboure as the place to get my nursing degree! Granted, the school does have high expectations of the students but it also is so supportive of the students that do put in the time and want to do well. There are free tutors and the professors really want to see the students succeed so they make themselves available. There are resources to help students who need them. As a working single mom the school understands the flexibility I need so there are hybrid classes, an evening program and clinical placements on the weekends. This is no doubt a hard school but I'd rather

Can i rate it a 0? Laboure is now on probation with the nursing board TO LOSE ITS ACCREDITATION. And yet the instructors blame the students instead of looking at what they are doing wrong. Belittling and insulting people clearly isnt working. Theres a reason why the state of MA feels as though they should revoke the license and you cant put all of the blame on the students. Nursing school is hard its suppose to be because you have the potential to save or kill a person. For $10,000 a semester id like for my professors to have the patiences to explain things instead of "its in the book"

Laboure is the worst decision i have ever made. They are very unorganized and very unreasonable. I have been to major name universities such as salem state and uml and this school is ridiculous. Its like pulling teeth to get someone to listen or understand. They claim they are flexable and willing to work with people's schedule but they do not! They are money hungry! BEWARE

I would rather run through Hell with Gasoline Soaked underwear, then to attend this school. One of the Costliest mistake, I ever made in my life. This school was not student friendly, would be the understatement of the century. The instructors, are unsympathetic to say the lease. The instructors were quickly, angered if, the class did not understand, a certain nursing diagnosis, or a medication equations, on the introduction of the subject. These instructor as well as the administration, would belittled and berate students to tears. The tell student they did have, what it takes to become a nurse
