(Chicago Tribune) — When Denise Parnell enrolled in the Illinois School of Health Careers last summer, she was told she could use her education to become a certified nursing assistant — a lifelong dream for the 20-year-old single mother who lives with her aunt in Englewood.
But in June, just as Parnell was finishing the 8-month-long program at the for-profit school, she learned her hard work and thousands of dollars in federal loans had been wasted. The school’s program wasn’t approved by the Illinois Department of Public Health, and Parnell was no closer to qualifying for a nursing job than when she started.
