I've been in RINI for almost years. When I first came I didn't like it, we only have half of our school building. Since being here we've went on like three field trips. I've started liking RINI not because of the school but because of some of the teachers and my friends.

Out of 10 years of nursing preparation this sham school has produced 1 nurse. The faculty is changed more frequently than some people change their sheets. Constant turnover. Ask yourself why this might be and then ask yourself if you want to work here or send your child here. The only way they got more than a 1 star review on this site is because the CEO probably had the board members write fake reviews. FACTS.

Rhode Island Nursing Institute Middle College is one of the worst charter schools in RI. They do not care about the students, they only care about making the school look good. Yes you do get a CNA license and a CPR license but other than that this school is not worth it.
