This school is a ponzi scheme run as a minority owned business by a husband and wife team from Haiti. They previously ran a Nurses Aid Training School in Lawrence, MA, but were thrown out of Massachusetts. After being forced to close they somehow were able to get approval to open a Licensed Practical Nursing Program through the NH Board of Nursing. This is a very shady outfit. They basically take advantage of vulnerable people from other countries by making all kinds of promises. They force people to pay the total tuition up front, and if they fail they do not get any money back. So they take anyone regardless of what they claim to do from an Admissions standpoint. Some of these people cannot speak English. The majority are from Haiti, and some are from Africa. The owners live high on the hog as they tell the students to find money by borrowing it and refinancing their old cars. It is all about money for them, not about the quality of education. The NCLEX scores are sub par and have been throughout most of the time this school has existed, so they are tough on teaching to pass the NCLEX from day one. Never mind learning the Fundamentals. Bringing up the test scores is management’s priority because if the graduates cannot pass, people will not go there and even worse the Board of Nursing will not allow the program to continue. This would mean that the owners would no longer have a cash cow. The owners invest nothing back into the business, they just take it out and spend it living lavishly and who knows where they have hidden money. In the meantime the students don't get books on time, have to put up with teachers quitting because of the treatment they receive from this rude arrogant President/Owner, and sit in hot non air conditioned rooms with cockroaches. The place is a dump. They also change the help out every few months which probably means once they catch on to the scam they start to know too much, so it's time to say bye. They fire people for no reason at all, or make up reasons to terminate them so they don't have to pay unemployment. The owners love cash, and bank checks and money orders that are not filled out. They are so greedy that they constantly up the costs by adding on parking (which is obviously free), library (a joke), and have even started collecting escalating graduation fees at the time of entrance. This way they can keep the money if someone fails, and some classes are so peeved by the time they are ready to graduate, that they don’t want to participate. They will accept two courses that can be transferred into the program, but they still charge you full tuition for the classes. The graduation is a scam as they use a free church and don’t provide so much as a bottle of water to anyone. No refreshments or food. While there are some good teachers, they end up getting burned or tired of the owner’s BS and quit. This entire business is about making money, not making nurses. The Ferdinand’s would sell their parents and kids to make a buck. Hopefully the NH Board of Nursing will shut them down before they take advantage of any more students. So many people flunk out or cheat their way through (huge problem), and these unethical owners cash in on people’s misery. Many of the students are new to the US and not even citizens. They work low wage aide jobs and the owner is right there with his hand out. From the time you walk in the building, the owner starts working you like a Timeshare Agent. He will tell you it’s the last available spot and to get the money to him immediately if you want it. He, his wife and the Program Director can barely keep a LPN Program going, but they will lie and fill up your head with ideas to shut you up such as that they will be starting an RN Program. You have to be kidding; they invest nothing in this school. Barely a poster on the walls and the skeleton and torso in A&P are ancient. The clinical lab rooms have old junky hospital beds and equipment. With such a high percentage of students admitted just so the owners can get their full tuition up front, they are not star performers at clinical sites, so they cannot maintain any decent places for students to obtain experience and clinical hours. Every time they get a good site they lose it. In fact sometimes students have to find their own clinicals. They tell you coming in about all the wonderful places you’ll be going, and it’s a sham. The owners should be arrested for fraud and for taking student’s money and using it for their own rock star lifestyle. Nothing would please the students more than seeing management serve jail time because they deserve it. Hopefully they won’t flee the country before the NH Government gets them into court. Stay the hell away from FCTI!
