This nursing program at this school is being shut down. They are teaching out the remaining students, some are being re-taught at the phoenix campus at the schools expense. BMC phoenix is going in front of the board of nursing topday at noon. It IS televised, feel free to watch on the AZ baird of nursing website.
"and used veterinary supplies when it ran out of medical "
The patients must have been feeling a little hoarse (horse).
This fraud is no different than the poster speaking about the poor quality product, lack of equipment and mind numbing curriculum in culinary. In culinary, it is interesting to note, in a cost saving measure EDMC took away the safety and sanitation course! The only thing that might be worse about the culinary example is that those students likely have NO idea how little they know. How much longer before students are taken seriously instead of being exploited by these degree factories?
This is an article written for The Arizona Daily Star by Carol ann Alaimo. It was published on August 15, so it's timely. It will help summarize the facts for all about EDMC.

Where are the accrediting agencies? The schools should be closed. Hardly as slap on the wrist.
This is going to haunt all of us when we get old sitting in some horrible nursing home. "don't worry Sir, I will take good care of you, I was educated at the prestigious EDMC school of nursing." ......."now lets clip those ears and cut that tail" LOL
