Piberry Institute Inc — Local services in Homestead

I want to share my worst experience with that thing they call Piberry, I went to this school, when i was registering as a LPN student they never told you, that you had to take an HESSI for each exam. It's when you start they tell you, you're going to take HESSI's, they don't even practice HESSI with you, it's just a way for them to make money. It's a school that you cant express your opinion, if a teacher can't teach and you express how you feel they mark you as an enemy. Can you imagine In my promotion there was like 15 of us, only 1 person was able to finish, they put everyone out at the end because you don't pass an HESSI, if you're a parent and you have a dream don't go to that school it's a scam. They're not going to put you outside at the beginning but they're going to wait till you're almost done and when you already have a lot of loans , can you imagine they put you out when you have nothing and you got to pay more than a 12k loan, and you haven't gain anything. In this school you take 4 test, you take 1 final, and 1 HESSI for each exam even you past all the 4 test with an A and the final with an A if you don't pass the HESSI you fail the class. It's just a way they do it to make you lose your money and waste your time. They don't care about your future or you they just care about their pocket. Between 15 months I've spent in this school, everywhere else its 12 months for LPN, this school it's almost 2 years for LPN. For my 15 they change the grade to pass 3 times, when you register they say it's 73%, than 83%, at the end they change it again. P.S.: The worst thing the promotion who were before my promotion it was 5 student left, before they take the final exit HESSI, the grade was 900 to pass, one week before they took the final exit HESSI they change the grade to 1000 to pass. When they take it and they don't pass it twice they kick all of them out. It's just a way to make more and more money. After that they told them to pay 3k each to take them back. And they give them another HESSI and they tell them they don't need 1000 anymore they just need 900 to pass, that's the worst school, I've never seen a school like this. Everyone I've told this has been shocked. please guys don't go to this school if you want your money. Because when you're entering they give you a nice face after that...

Not sure which school many of these reviewers are speaking of, But that school has got to be the worst EVER. I didn't get to finish my second exit exam, i text Dr. P and didn't receive a call or a text regarding my exit exam. I was supposed to complete school in July of 2020. Many of my classmates are waiting to do their NCLEX exam and have not receive any notification as to when they will take their exam. No follow-up with anything about your concerns ONLY when it deals with them getting MORE more. PLEASE, do not waste your time and money. No one will complete the class if they still owe money. Some of my classmates started the class through financial aid and somewhere during the course was told they were not eligible and had to start paying out of pocket, which many did not have the money to do so and was now force to seek ways to pay for their classes. Until this day they are still paying for their classes.

YOU have been WARNED!!

I will say this, my son also attended the school and received all he intended. His teacher was one the BEST, and that's why i feel...

Where should I start?!? To begin, Piberry is an exceptional school. Although they have come from humble beginnings, they have truly taken off like a rocket ship and will continue to propel to the highest of height! I am one of the graduates of the first PN class. The program wasn’t easy and had its challenges such as adjusting to nursing and all that comes with it! Listen, nursing ISN’T easy!!!! I was away from my son, had a health scare, lost family members and had to be distant from friends in order to accomplish this achievement. I can honestly say throughout it all, the staff of Piberry made it all worth it! Our professor, the dean, the president herself was available to us all! I am very proud of myself and fellow classmates. We displayed excellent work ethic, thus resulting in us passing. 100 % be prepared to work! Be prepared to cry, be prepared to rejoice and be prepared to feel accomplished-once your name is called with either PN or CMA attached to it! Piberry will not let you down unless YOU let yourself down.
