Rue Education read the fine print and sign with caution, they're a money pit with a poor refund policy. Clearwater Florida

 

"CANCELLATION POLICY You may cancel this contract at any time prior to midnight of the third business day after the date of the contract. Written notification is required."-Rue contract

What does this mean?

This means that if you decide to not use their material after the 3 days are up, you still are contractually obligated to pay! The only exceptions to the contract are if you decide to go to a traditional school or have a medical condition that will not allow you to work as a nurse. Otherwise, if anything comes up in your life along the way and you decide your money is better spent elsewhere, forget it. You will be sent to collections for the balance of the amount due.

We all know things come up, plans don't work out and for some unforeseen reason you can not continue with the education goals you set. Well that's too bad, because Rue will send you to collections until every penny is collected. We all know a contract is a contract, but this is so inflexible that it might be worth a second or third look before signing your life away! Stop and read the fine print before you sign!

"Rue Education does not refund for any reason other than those stated above. If the Purchasers payments are not current at the time of refund, the refund will be applied to the Purchasers unpaid balance." -Rue Contract

My personal experience with Rue was that I found school by mail was not working for me and I knew I would need to go to a traditional school with real instructors. At this time I don't have the time to attend any type of school and wanted a refund so I could put it towards tuition, books, lab fees etc. Rue said they would refund my money once I started attending school, but I don't know how long it will take for me to be in the position to go, and I don't want my money sitting in Florida waiting for me gaining them interest.

Looking back, I should have read the fine print. I know my money is gone and someone in Florida is using it to buy a new boat or palm tree or something. I just want any other nurses out there who might be thinking about Rue to use extreme caution before signing. If for any reason you may not be able to finish the program, save your money anyway. Rue will sue you for it.

By the way, they threatened to sue me for contacting LPN programs and telling them my story. Nice.
