I SHOULD'VE DONE DUE DILIGENCE BEFORE ENROLLING. GRADUATION RATE IS ONLY 12%. THAT TELLS YOU…read moreEVERYTHING. Where to begin. I was a student at Americare from 2024-2026. I am also not bashing them - I'm using my real name on this review because it's facts, nothing to hide. They go through a constant change of teachers, or their current teacher takes on a different position in the company. - Unstructured: neither your counselor nor anybody else knows what's going on for future class schedules, etc. -The biggest joke: you have a teacher that meets with students outside of America's hours- to have a study group on Sunday mornings. Yeah a study group. That's unprofessional, especially since the teacher holds a higher nursing degree and apparently doesn't know better. -Same teacher, refused to teach me over an incident that occurred- that had no doing of my own. I had my daughter willing to talk to whoever to explain & about 4 officers from a police dept. to back what had occurred and also willing to speak to the school. No one wanted to hear it. Just that this teacher didnt want to teach me. * I emailed the counslour, my previous teacher Michelle & Stephanie. ALL WITH NO RESPONSE BECAUSE THEY KNEW IT WAS BULLSHIT. I HAVE PROOF OF ALL THE TEXT MESSAGES, EMAILS AND ECT. * -So because of that - I only had a choice but to do night classes. And what kind of adult, licensed teacher, who also has a professional liscense, I beleive as an NP doesnt want to teach a student. Then why are you at Americare to teach. -Let's keep going - there medical bag that they charge you $375 for - none of it works and I beleive they purchased from Temu. That bad. - I went and did all my pre reqs there - incredible teacher! He is no longer there. GO FIGURE. -Then started the nursing program did Fumdamentals of Nursing then went into MEDSURG1 lecture MY FAULT DIDNT STUDY & I FAILED. So obviously I had to retake that course just the lecture part and then passed with an a 100%So all in all I did Fundamentals of Nursing lecture lab and clinicals I did MedSurg1 lecture and lab I did pharmacology1 Lecture- THEN CLINICALS. Then I had to take an ATI test. -Failed that. Well maybe it was because I had 4 or 5 different teachers and every teacher teaching or not teaching was something different - no standard across the board teaching material. Teachers do what they want. - The school offered no tutoring or anything and says you have 4 days to re take the ATI, and if you dont pass that one - back to Fundamentals of Nursing. I didnt know 1/4 of what was in that ATI of course NOT with all the different teachers I had. - One teacher, we did lab with, did our clinicals, came back and that teacher was gone. So of course with no help not knowing what to study no tutoring no nothing I re took and I failed it again. IMAGINE THAT. - Ok so Back to the beggining. I still cant take the day class still because a teacher doesnt want to teach me - so still stuck in night classes. But wait, theres a twist.... when I signed up for this school I signed up because it was hybrid meaning you do everything at home except for your midterms your finals your test out of labs and obviously your clinicals. Plot twist another new night teacher doesnt like the online teaching. So now id have to go in 2 or 3 times a week. Thats when I said thats it, Im done ! Almost 2 years wasted in time, money & everything else and nothing to show for it. -This school only cares about money, only wants to see you fail and is the most unstructured school ive ever been to- or ever heard of. I know there isnt much more options in Illinois for LPN programs. GRADUATION RATE IS ONLY 12% CONTINUED IN BELOW PIC BECAUSE ONLY ALLOWED SO MANY CHARACTERS

Lack of communication was apparent, which was frustrating to say the least. Whenever an issue was…read moreraised by a student, it was often mishandled and ignored. Hidden fees were NOT disclosed upfront and when asked to have an itemized bill, the school could not come up with one. This institution is more interested in accruing revenue than helping their students to succeed. I would caution anyone reading this to read all of the reviews on here before thinking of enrolling at this school as these hidden fees may cause you to be financially strained in the end. If you look at the pass rate of this school for NCLEX-PN, it is BELOW the average passing rate in the state of Illinois and WAY BELOW the national average. No wonder this school is ON PROBATION. See the links at the end of my review. If I were you, I would spend my hard earned money on an institution that has a great reputation and an above average NCLEX pass rate. In my experience, it is best to apply to nursing schools with at least a 95% pass rate; the higher the percentage, the better. SOURCES: 1.
