20 Best 2 Year Nursing Programs In Cape Coral, FL (2022 Updated)

Okay school but professors suck! Good learning platform with Blackboard (easy to use & navigate). Professors are very picky & strict with grading. They act like they are from Harvard. Faculty is not professional & highly rude. They don't care about you learning or helping you succeed. Rather expect you to fail. Lots of errors & typos on quizzes. No live or recorded lectures. Didn't learn much. Spend the extra money & attend brick & mortar or better online school to get a job.Oliver

I highly recommend Hodges University! I enrolled in the fast track BS degree with 10 classes left to finish in Interdisciplinary Studies. I graduated 18 months later! All of my teachers were phenomenal and my counselor reached out to me at the beginning of each semester to enroll me in the correct classes to finish my degree program as quickly as possible. Having attended other universities, I found this one to be the most committed in helping me complete my degree program!Ann AL

I have been at Hodges for two years now. Every time I hear about another school, I always compare my experience to Hodges. This has led me to believe that there are no other schools that I would be as happy with. The professors I have had actually WANT me to succeed and will do what they can to help us as students to develop and learn. I'm grateful for Hodges and their staff for always doing what they can to cheer me on in my education.Camille Smallwood

I appreciate Rasmussen University for having an abundance of resources and many professors and other staff members who demonstrate they want students to succeed. I especially have enjoyed being a peer educator, being privileged to work with Tammy Hopps who is an excellent supervisor and leader, and also being able to work with other peer educators who care for their peers as much as I do. I transferred from a local state college, which I considered sticking with to save money, but in reality, not much is saved when you compare the timeframe for graduation. At the state college it would take me an extra 2 whole years to receive my BSN, whereas at Rasmussen I save 2 years of time because of their second-degree BSN option. I am very pleased with the quality of technology – at the state school blackboard and other resources were slow and did not work as well on my cell phone, whereas with Rasmussen I can easily access everything I need from my phone when I'm on the go. It's inspiring to see so many single parents and married parents in school, some of which also work full time or part time like myself while completing their degree. Highly recommend!HappyNessa11:11& Family

I had such high hopes when enrolling at this school. However my experience hasn't been favorable at all. I am a current student and I was disappointed because even though I was able to enroll and start classes I really felt unsupported on this journey. I'm realizing Rasmussen may not be the school for me. I REALLY thought I would be supported and encouraged. I was made to feel that Rasmussen would be rooting for me through my academic journey. Instead I am bombarded with emails and calls telling me what I already know… I owe money. No calls or emails about how I can be helped to budget so that I can pay more toward the balance. I'm only being told: what I owe, to get the balance down to $500-$1000 and to take out loans; which will only put me in debt and it's too early to be taking out loans when I've been in school since September of 2021 and have 2 more years. Also this school doesn't cater to single parents, limited income and individuals that HAVE to work. This school ONLY has day classes for the nursing program and as I said before I HAVE to work full time.Sherria Clark

This morning I called the university for the North Orlando Campus for the Nursing program and spoke to the director of Nursing who was discusstingly rude on the phone. I called to get information, He had no patience and told me Not to proceed a career in Nursing because it was Not for me. This was a university that I was so excited to be a part of and be a graduate of Nursing. The director needs to be Fired because he is giving the university a bad reputation. To whom it may concern please take this review into consideration and hire a new director of Nursing for the program.Georgia Conde

I think a 1 star review is generous. I went for my BSN and one term in (8 weeks) we were told that the program is 90% the student and 10% the staff. Most of what you get from staff is power point presentations. That is when you are not doing the teaching based on a group project. And you have one of those every 8 weeks, having to depend on people for your grade and knowledge. They brag about a low drop out rate. That is a joke. It is low because it costs so much and, like all other schools of this nature, nothing transfers. So they "let you" return to repeat the term and continue. (You pay for the repeat which is why I put it in quotations) The person that arranges the clinical rotations, and ultimately handles your volunteer hour documentation, is beyond unorganized. She will lose things and send you notification you did not turn something in even if you hand it directly to her. And her excuse is she has so much going on, not my problem especially for the amount I paid for tuition. They make you feel like if you complain about anything it will be held against you. I would not recommend this school. But in all honesty there probably isn't one of these schools that would be much different.Michelle Ford Gonsowski

I had an outstanding experience with the Physical Therapist Assistant program. Every member of the PTA faculty is highly experienced, very personable, and really goes above and beyond in providing students with a high quality learning experience that definitely exceeded my expectations. As an accelerated medical program, the workload is very heavy making working while going to school very challenging. The benefit however is finishing the program earlier and working as a PTA sooner. In addition to providing you with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in the field of physical therapy, the program does a great job of preparing you for the board exam as well as helping you find a job afterwards if needed. I’m very happy I made the decision to attend Herzing University for PTA and would recommend it to any highly motivated person interested in becoming a Physical Therapist Assistant.Mitch Pottinger

I am an alumni from the Herzing University- Winter Park Physical Therapist Assistant Program. Each step of the way the staff and faculty are 100% supportive of your goals! With the PTA program in particular, the program faculty and director truly care about your success in the program as well as in your career. Their passion for teaching and physical therapy is evident in their teaching EVERY DAY! I successfully passed my national exam my first time taking it and felt adequately prepared to take the exam and more importantly to practice physical therapy. I was offered a job prior to graduation. If you are considering a career in physical therapy this program will prepare you for a long, rewarding and successful career. #Cohort 13 for the win!Kelly Graham

One of the best instructors I’ve come across. He ensures that everyone is able to grasp and learn the information by using real world examples and repeating the information throughout the session along with demonstrating on the practice mannequin. Although he is very thorough with his explanations, he keeps the session fun by joking around which keeps the audience more engaged as well. 10/10 would recommend to anyoneAmanda Kurver

This was the most fun and engaging CPR class I've ever been part off. The instructor is very knowledgeable and makes it easy to digest all the information by keeping it interesting throughout the class. By the time you leave the class you actually feel like you have enough knowledge to apply on a real life situation. Would definitely recommend it and will be back in 2 years.carla Miranda

It was the best CPR class I’ve ever taken since having to take them since I was in highschool, so 12 years worth! Steven was hilarious & kept you drawn in. Thank you Steven for a great class 🙂 I was annoyed I had to retake it but honestly I’m happy I did for a refresher & the laughs with his jokes.Katelyn Bjerke

Attending ACESO was an amazing experience. I had not practiced nursing in quite a while and was a bit reticent about rejoining the RN workforce. Deborah James MSN was a force to be reckoned with. Her extensive knowledge coupled with her ability to convey and share pertinent information was invaluable. Ms. James sense of humor and her genuine humbleness made this the perfect storm for an amazing learning experience. Niki Nelson MSN was also an amazing wealth of knowledge and professionalism. I felt confident and 100% supported in every clinical situation. No question went unanswered and my comfort level, along with my fellow student's comfort level was always put at the forefront. I can unequivocally state with total honesty that I had learned more than I ever thought possible in so short of time. I feel both of these professionals took a personal interest in each and every one of us in the class and were sincere in their concern to truly help us. I highly recommend ACESO nursing school. I have nothing but great memories of my time there and it was truly my pleasure to be able to attend this wonderful school.

I stumbled upon Aceso looking for an accredited school to take a CNA course. My first interaction was with Ms. Nelson, the program director, who was very thorough in providing information and answering questions. Her enthusiasm upon answering the phone caught me by surprise and I knew at that moment Aceso was where I wanted to attend. Mrs. Cervi was an awesome teacher and I loved how she was able to tie the material into life learned lessons. This made certain topics relatable and easy to remember. Mrs. Jones was also a great teacher during BLS skills and the brief time she taught the CNA course. She too was one to break down harder topics into components easy to recall. All in all, I truly appreciate the time and effort that Aceso puts into ensuring that their students succeed! They are a one of a kind school.Kia Singleton

I called every Florida approved nursing remedial school on the list . Aceso was the only one with clear and concise answers to my questions. They define the parameters of the program very well and are very patient answering your questions . I am so grateful to have found Aceso ! Niki Nelson and Deborah Jones are impassioned and dedicated to your success. They are both very accessible and will call or text you back quickly with any questions you have . They make themselves available for extra help and education if required . You have to follow the rules that are clearly laid out .I forgot my hospital badge one early morning. Even though my hotel was 10 minutes away they sent me home for the day . My bad LOL I highly recommend them and the school program !Justin Steurer

Rasmussen has really given me a second chance at hope. I started this journey not truly believing that I could do this. Fate matched me with Nicole M as my initial advisor and I'd be lying if I said her help provided motivation and confidence to know I can do this. She was there every step of the way to guide to my next steps and would even stay on the phone with me to make sure I'd accomplish certain tasks before the deadline. I was so moved by her I persuaded my two sisters to enroll as well and she helped get them acclimated as well. I am now in the nursing program and am given a second chance at life to make something of myself and for that I am eternally grateful. My mother also is an alumni of rasmussen, so to know that I'll be abstaining my nursing degree in the very same school my mother went to is the icing on the cake. Thanks Rasmussen and thanks again Nikki for being there for us!!!Emmanuel Leconté

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think after three kids and a full-time job, I would be able to start school again in my 30s, and Rasmussen University, with its fantastic support team, has been there every step of the way for me through the process. I have been able to enroll in a nursing program where it's been eight months now, and I have pretty much finished all my prereqs in the convenience of my home. So, all I can say is just because your past didn't turn out the way you wanted it to does not mean your future can't be better than you imagined. Here's to being a future nurse! Thank you, Rasmussen!Yesenia Echevarria

During the Entire process Raquel was my Admissions Advisor and she was very nice. She was able to answer any questions I had, She was very informative and was very responsive to all my emails & Calls in a timely manner. I am very glad to work with her throughout my Steps to graduation. She is the best. She always kept me updated throughout the entire process. As becoming a first time student she made it very clear that i was making the right choice in joining the school. Her customer service was 110%. Thank You Raquel for everythingdavisha howard

4/2019 – I did a lot of research prior to attending Jersey College Largo Campus. I looked into going to HCC, Galen, Rasmussen, as well as other Jersey College Campuses. I talked with all the school counselors, toured the schools, and talked with co-workers/friends who had gone to each school and are currently working RN's. I decided to go with Jersey College Largo Campus, and it was the best decision I've ever made! The teachers truly want you to succeed, they care about your success, you have so much support, weekly tutoring offered by every instructor, and the staff truly becomes your family. The students are also very supportive of each other. The level of education you receive is advanced, you start working in the hospital with patients by semester one and continue weekly clinical rotations in the hospital until you graduate the program in semester six. The other RN programs offered at different schools didn't start clinical rotations until the last few semesters, didn't offer clinical rotations in a hospital setting, and didn't seem to truly prepare you for your daily job as an RN. The clinical experience with Jersey College Largo is fantastic! As a student you’re able to have clinical rotations in the ER, med surg floor, OR, specialty units, follow the residents, as well as many other things. I'm so thankful for such an amazing opportunity. The clinical instructors are great, and the hospital staff is so kind and willing to teach. Also I looked into accreditation and they are fully accredited with ACEN (accreditation commission for education in nursing) Plus I have a coworker and friend who attended Jersey College for her associates in nursing, went on to complete her bachelors in nursing, went for her masters, and is now a Nurse Practitioner. The program sets you up to be an amazing RN but also gives you a solid foundation for your BSN and MSN if you would like to further your career in the future. It's a very hard program, but if you do everything the teachers say…. you'll make it!! 🙂 I've been in your situation, and I know how big of a decision this is… so I hope all this information helps you!! **Update 4/2021: I passed my HESI exit exam and NCLEX on the first try. I’m now enrolled in a fully accredited BSN program and the same goes for all of my original classmates. I didn’t struggle finding a job and was offered positions in ICU, and the OR right out of school. Many of the employers liked that I attended a residency program that was more hands on training vs other schools and I believe that residency experience helped me get these higher level nursing job offers. My class studied a lot! It took a lot of work! I am so proud of my classmates and thankful for this school! Just remember, no matter how hard the program gets don’t give up because all of the hard work and studying will pay off in the end. Good luck!**Shannon McNulty

I am a recent graduate of Jersey College and I must say I Loved It !!! I mean of course it had its ups and downs because as we all know nothing is perfect but my overall experience was great. Anything that is worth having will not be easy so I will not say that it was the easiest thing to do but it was the best decision I ever made!! I felt the support from staff && classmates, it was like a family && I loved that. I am now working in the field but I still come back to campus if I need help with things && there is no hesitation with helping me even though I'm no longer a student. Ms. V && Ms. Evans pushed me beyond measures to get me ready for NCLEX at the time I wanted to scream lol but they really helped me bring my dream to reality && for that I am forever grateful ❤👩🏾‍⚕️ I Love Jersey College!!!Lavetta Hall

I am a current student at Jersey College and so far my experience has been great everyone is welcoming, supportive and resourceful. There are somethings that needs improvement BUT not everyone or everything is perfect. Overall the instructors and administration staff are awesome. The instructor DO THEIR BEST to teach you in everyway possible so you understand each lecture and skills. Resources are provided and tutoring is available. In all honesty it is also the student responsibility to also do their part and review chapters and/or material so they have a better understanding and if it is becoming overwhelming just ASK FOR HELP! DO NOT BE AFRAID TO ASK! The instructors and staff will help or find the help you need.Karina Mora

I am proudly graduating with a Bachellor Degree in Nursing after a two year program in Antigua College International next May 6th of 2022. The experience has been wonderful filled with great memories that include the high educational level of the school, the quality of classrooms and accommodations, the wonderful team of professors always ready to support the students, and the high qualified Administration staff ready to clear doubts and help the students with registration, documents, and the schedule of classes, and more. Also I am very grateful with the Principal, Dr. D. Antigua, for all the support and reviews of strategies, and to Dr. J. Antigua for the wonderful Reviews of content.raisa caceres

Professors for nursing Core classes here are truly amazing!! Only giving one star because despite my good experience with the professors here, Hispanic students pressure the professors to give classes in Spanish when per the Board of Nursing Education Department it is illegal for classes to be held in Spanish when the content your being tested on is in English. ALL my nursing core classes were given in Spanish which is not my first language. Don’t recommend this school if you are American. Don’t waste your time or money hereEmelyn Concepcion

I graduated in Antigua Collage International, I recommend this school 100%. If you want to become a knowledgeable nurse, here you have the opportunity to count with caring professors that will help you through all the process. The preparation is the best and they have a lot of resources to get you ready for the license. I am so grateful for the help, for the teaching, but must of all for all the resources that you provide for us to get ready. Thank you Antigua college.Tahimi Arias

We really enjoy helping our students. We are so glad that we can make a difference in our community. We understand that every student might have a different perspective of our school. However, we encourage you to call and experience it for yourself. Like every schools, we have cancellation and drop out policies and the students who have posted the bad reviews are student who frequently either failed to follow those policies or have been dismissed due to misconduct. Also, lately we have been getting bad reviews from some students who were denied federal fundings such as grants due to their own lack, but feels like the school is responsible for it. We do not issue government subsidies, we only refer students. The only issue we recently encountered was Phlebotomy employment and this issue has been resolved to our knowledge. As of right now, we have a full administration staff ready to assist anyone with interest in our programs. We also have an 87% Medical Assistant placement rate. There are two side to every story and we can assure you that some of the claims from everyone on here aren't accurate and some never even attended school with us and getting us confused with another local technical school with a similar name. Please call our admission department to discuss your future career with us. We are friendly, helpful and dedicated to our students success. Social medial and the internet give customers a platform to express their opinions which is great ,like everything else in life, you have those who will take advantage and fabricate stories to avoid responsibilities of their own actions. Do not allow other people misfortune be your barrier to a better future. Thank you.SWVT FL

I recently completed the Phlebotomy/EKG program March 2021. Zeal tech is very professional and informative from the first phone call, to the admission process to the actual classes itself. I couldn’t have joined a better school! I would especially like to give recognition to my instructors Ms. Nadia. She went above and beyond not only for myself but also for a handful of students who wanted and/or needed the help. She will literally stay after class every day and help us study for exams, update our resumes and also prepped us with interview questions (and answers) ensuring that we were all ready and prepared for what’s to come next. If I could take both classes all over again, I would just to be in Ms Nadia classroom once again. Thanks to her I am now an employee with Lee Health only one week after finishing my programs.Ashley Simmons

I completed the Phlebotomy program at SWVT, and it was the best decision of my life so far. I've been a stay at home mom for the past 3 years, and im generally a very nervous person ,so school was a bit nerve wracking for me. But my class was a lot of fun, my classmates were amazing people and we all really helped each other. Mr.John is a great teacher and a funny guy,with a sense of humor that i enjoyed. He will absolutely make sure you pass ,he got me through it even when I wasn't feeling too confident in myself, and I can never thank him enough.Alanna Richter

My late husband and I moved into a lovely 2 bedroom apartment in the Independent Living building two weeks after they opened in August, 2017. He was in declining health and the burden of home ownership was more than I wanted to deal with. Like any new operation, Discovery Village initially had its share of problems, mostly related to its on site management team. A little over a year ago, a new Executive Director, Patricia Price was brought on board and Discovery Village truly became my home. A great management team is in place, systems and infrastructure are in place and working well. Patty and her team work tirelessly to ensure resident satisfaction. There are a wealth of activities for residents to partake in, both on premise and off premise. Housekeeping services are included in the rent, any maintenance issues are resolved quickly, and the extensive and tasty menu has selections to please any palate. The measure of a retirement community is in how well they perform in a crisis and whether a feeling of "at home atmosphere" is felt. Covid-19 definitely qualifies as a crisis and Discovery Village has more than met the challenge. Protocols were immediately put into place to protect both the residents and the staff. Activities were modified to insure our continued safety with proper sanitizing and social distancing. The entire staff, with no exception, did everything possible to meet our needs. Bottom line is the residents were safe, happy and we still remain Covid free. Being "shutdown" was comparable to "roughing it in a 5 star resort", in other words, it was a delightful experience. Residents are also what make Discovery Village a home. I have met many friends here who have become just like family. The welcoming of new residents continues even after three years. We are truly a cohesive community. I would like to thank Patty, Nicolle, Travis and Joel for making my home such an enjoyable place to live. Extra thanks go to Joel and his team for always finding a way to procure, prepare, deliver and serve such a wide variety of delicious meals, especially during this pandemic. I love living at Discovery Village at the Forum and my family loves that I am happy and safe.Barbara Gatison

I moved to Discovery Village Independent Living approximately six months ago. I am delighted to say, I have been so satisfied with everything so far. I feel that they have so much to offer for their residents no matter what your lifestyle is like. Activities and games, that I particularly love to play include Euchre, Bridge, Wii Bowling, Arts and Crafts, Sewing, Billiards and using the pool. Not too long after I moved in, Florida went on Stay at Home status. A group of residents saw a need and organized to make face masks for the local Fort Myers community, starting with the hospitals and some home health agencies. JoAnn Fabrics was kind enough to donate some supplies and leadership at Discover Village under the direction of Executive Director, Patricia Price really went above and beyond picking up the expenses for all the supplies we needed. When we finished, we had completed 1750 masks and also made masks for all the residents of our facility and for two other sister facilities in Texas. Because we had a number of residents who owned sewing machines and liked working on projects together, Patty provided us with our own space and now we have our own Sewing Club where we can make projects that interest us as well as things like the American Flag we quilted and gave to Patty to display at the front entrance of our facility. The Church has always been a home to me. Now that I am in Discovery Village at the Forum, I feel like I have found a new home, one that many wonderful friends who are also like family to me. I plan to stay here for a long time.Irena Pickens

Moved mom here on a trial several months ago and couldn't be happier with the decision. We considered many other communities and even though Discovery Village is further away from us than we'd like, this community came out ahead of all the other communities we visited. The staff and residents were all so welcoming and continue to be the shining light that make my mother's days wonderful. Everyone is great but the two "Super-Stars" are Mike from Sales and Nicole. These two are always available to assist whenever I have a question or a need for mom. They go above and beyond what I believe is their job description. Being as far away as we are, knowing I can call them at anytime takes the worry out of any concerns I might have. They are both incredible Ambassador for the DV brand. Even though she is in Independent Living, I know she is in good hands. I am always asking mom how she feels about being at Discovery and she is thrilled. She has made numerous friends that she now calls her "Other family" and she is always happy and busy with the many activities. Finally, when we or anyone comes to visit her, we/they are also treated like family.H G

I would not recommend the memory care portion of this facility at all. They are unable to handle a person dealing with sundowners. My mother was in the facility just short of two months. While having episodes of sundowners, the staff routinely called my family to come handle the situation. They also do not tell the truth. My mother got out of the memory care portion. One staff member stated my mother was outside by the road. Another person stated that she only went out to the lobby area. Another incident, we received a call stating my mother fell in the bathroom and was asleep on the floor. Another staff member stated they believe she was looking for a lost hearing aid on the floor and fell asleep on the floor by the bed. A fall in the bathroom or getting down to look for a hearing aid…which is the story your using. Final straw, after another “sundowners” type incident, my mother was taken to the hospital. Meds were changed. At 11 am on her release day, we were told she could come back to the waters. Asked questions about how they would handle her etc. We were told that they would work with her and not be sending her to Park Royal the psych hospital to have meds further adjusted. My sister went to the facility at 3:45 waiting on the transport from the hospital to the waters. When she walked in she was told that Beth was on the phone with Park Royal making arrangements to have my mother placed over there. When we confronted Beth she said that my mother had needed to be there earlier in the day, so that they can work with her. How did a meeting at 11 am without a return time (like anyone can control a hospital release time and a transport) turn into you placing my mother in Park Royal. When my mother return to the Waters, my sister met the transport ambulance. When my mother told the driver, that my mom was going home with her, the transport driver said he was glad because he did not like what he sees when he picks residents up from here. There is little interaction with staff and patients. Walk in to see staff sitting on their phones. Beth, Christine have been the two I’ve talked to personally and I do not trust them.Mary Bentivegna

I would not recommend placing your loved one here . My father has been here 1.5 years in the Memory Care Unit and they do absolutely nothing for his care here . They never change him , make sure he's clean , and pay no mind to putting his depends on like they're supposed to . I come here to visit and he always smells of urine, no depends on , shoes and clothes on backwards. The staff is absolutely lazy and forget about administration , when you bring something to their attention , they "yes" you to death and promise things will change . Beth and Christine are about as cold as ice. Both of them are heartless individuals and should not be working in this profession . They don't care about the residents , just care about who they can get placed there to meet their quota!! .They brush things off and do nothing to discipline their staff for not doing their job . Everyday I have to come here and shower him , take his clothes home to wash ( if I didn't , they'd never get washed ) .this is a service he's paying for , as well as showering , cleaning the room …etc… My brother and I do their work and still paying a price for full care ! They barely have any activities for the people in the Memory care Unit . When I walk in , half of them are just sitting in the dining area, sometimes asleep in the tables, or in their rooms . These people need their minds going at all times and nothing . They do more for the people on the Assisted living side . Very sad to say the least! I am highly disappointed in this place and have now rated them 1 star , when a year ago I thought they were 5 !Shannon

Well the way they treated the situation with my father in law is unacceptable.. When we had our first meeting here before he moved in.They were asked if he took a turn for the worse and was put on hospice if he could still be able to come back to this facility. They said yes it's his home.So after being in the hospital at discharge they made up very excuse to deny his coming back there.I should be able to give them a zero if I could.We offered to be there to feed him.Then the final decision was him not being weight bearing.how many hospice patients did you have that were?They lie from day one! I know this is an assisted living facility but come on.I live a.5 miles away and told them to call anytime and I would be there if assistance was needed. To top it off they told the hospital to put down he was a Hoyer lift so they wouldn't have to take him back.Which is another lie. Such a shady outfit.UPDATE Beth had the gall to ask me to change my review because it was harsh.Well telling the truth can be harsh and have no reason to lie.Ive emailed there Corporate there no response.To top things off a resident told me it was a good thing to get him out of here and they only care about money.But the nurses and most CNA are good from what I personally say.But managment is another story.Well I'm done and never looking back.David Swanson

I live in New Jersey and my mom lives in Fort Myers, Florida. I have used these folks for several years to provide quality care for my mother, who is this side of 101 years old and has dementia. They have always taken excellent care of her. Hurricane Irma really put them to the test. Mom had to be evacuated twice because both her home and the company office fell in the mandatory evacuation zones. With only limited staff available due to the hurricane, the owner, Tom Dean, took it upon himself to insure Mom was moved to a safe place with a dedicated caregiver as well as himself looking after Mom. After the storm had passed, Mom was moved back to their office, which had a generator to provide electricity and A/C. Tom personally checked out Mom's house and let me know if was only lacking electricity. Today the power came on and Mom is now back at home. These folks really care about their clients. They went way above and beyond to insure my Mom was cared for under extremely difficult circumstances. I could not recommend them more highly!Sam Rabinowitz

I would give them 5 stars. If I could give them more I would. We have been using them for 3 years now and my experience has been so positive. I live out of state so I am totally dependent of Comfort Keepers to provide care for my mom. They provide care for her seven days a week and we have had last minute emergencies where I have needed more help at the last minute. They have always come through. Image what it is like to have your 90 year old father on the way to the hospital with your invalid mother at home. They assured me they would get someone, not to worry. They have worked tirelessly in order to find the right fit for my mother. In case you are worried that I am connected to them in some way, because this is such a raving report, I am not. I would never consider another company when looking for home health care. They are without a doubt the best!! I am on a first name basis with those assigned to my moms case. When I call, I never feel like I am a number. I can guarantee if you use them you will be pleased.Laurie Detweiler

Someone complain to their (general manager/manager) after just having them do 3 things off the lists (small lite cleaning). Instead of speaking to me, they had to tell their (general manager/manager) who then told me about their complaint. They weren’t even around for a month and when Ian came. They didn’t even want to owe for the hours that were missed. I even tried to get 2-4 hours for the hours lost, for the following week, from the previous week (they said they couldn’t). But when I spoke to the (general manager/manager), she even said herself, there was nothing she could do about it. I wouldn’t recommend Comfort Keepers of Ft Myers to anyone.Veronica Gonzalez

I was in the practical nursing department. I had an instructor named Dawn. She never taught us any clinical skills in the lab or in the hospital. She kept talking about weddings and what she thought we thought about weddings. I just now looked her name up eight years later and realize she is a wedding decorator. She was decorating weddings instead of teaching us what we needed to do and she gave us all F’s on our clinicals andSaid don’t worry you have to have an F at first and then it’ll turn into an A. I disagree. All of her students failed exam after exam and I got all A’s and B’s. I began to use the knowledge I learned in the textbook at the hospital. On a couple of floors employees stated “she is awesome. She will succeed.” Dawn wanted to understand why they felt that way. They said all of your students play on their phones but her. She is trying nursing skills. It is a mess. I was thrown out for being late a few times which is understandable however they said I did not have my clinical hours when Dawn for the first month decided that she wanted us to only do clinicals. I had forgotten this detail. They said they had to throw me out because I didn’t have clinical hours when she decided she want didn’t want to do class at all. Dawn Wanted us to only do clinicals for the first eight weeks so I had not missed clinical hours. I really had because Don sat on her computer the whole time. She ended up getting me kicked out and she did not teach anyone anything I hope she’s not still teaching there. She did not even know what MMHG means. Millimeters of mercury. The pressure in our bodies is tested by the way mercury moves. She did not know anything at all and did not care and sat in the hospitals on her computer designing weddings. She never taught us a single clinical skills. She began with 20 students or something like that and ended up with three or four. I am so disappointed as this was my last government grant I could have. I went to SCF and i was given such amazing knowledge in a short amount of time. If Dawn Was terminated I would like to have another chance at the nursing program. Thank you. I am disgusted and hunted this whole time. I was kicked out of the program for a few absences when I did way more clinical hours and exhausted myself so she could sit on her computer. I was too emotionally overwhelmed to let them know hey we did clinicals for 8 to 10 weeks straight because she didn’t like teaching the book. I assume that was because she was called out for her wrong information several times by me and one other woman. No, that’s probably not true. She wanted to sit on her computer and develop her business rather than teach us how to do clinical skills.Bridgette Bianchi

My son was the first class to graduate from the Paramedic Program. He and a few of his friends who had just graduated from the local fire academy were planning to attend a different Paramedic Program however they were constantly being approached by the dept head/instructor of the program at CTC to attend her very first class. Although they were concerned that this was the very first class, they were promised that the program was going to be accredited within a year and that they would be able to take their Paramedic anywhere after passing the National Registry Exam! This we just learned is completely FALSE! My son passed the state exam, worked for 1.5 yrs in the field, just took the National Exam and passed only to learn that the school has not been accredited and has not started the process! We relocated back home to MA shortly after passing his National Exam. 2 very amazing Fire Depts offered him positions which he had to decline after learning his certification is worth nothing outside of the State of FL!!! I am sickened to think of the time and money lost. People that choose this career put the lives of others first. They are brave heroes! In this time when we need more first responders, my son can’t practice! Shame on this school! Shame on the depth head! Please look into this program before committing! You never know where life takes you and you certainly don’t want to be left having do the program all over again!Cherie Fickett

The campus is very convoluted they have the technical college they have the County Public School office they have the main campus they have modular units the buildings are kind of poorly labeled I'm not really sure I'm trying to find the Welcome Center and I'm having a hard time signs that give you directions our place to put their very spaced out and I'm not putting down the school as a whole cuz I don't know the actual School itself but I know I've been turned around twice by the sign maybe it's just me not usually bad with directions but overall the campus Little Messi I've seen some trash grasses and cut good and I know being a technical school there's definitely some kids that can bust out the lawn mowers and weed wackers pressure washers I see some moldy stuff everywhere and being a technical school I know these kids to do it for free but other than that the front of the building looks cool I like the layout and I like the overall shapes and Contours the trees with the Weeping moss and it looks very Floridamatthew greeenwood

I attend Capscare for practical nursing and LOVE it. I always struggled in a traditional school setting and feared pursuing my dream to become a nurse because of this. Capscare was not a easy program by all means, but for the first time in my life I excelled in school. Im graduating on time and look forward to passing my boards with tons of confidence on the first try. I will always remember my wonderful instructors that put all of their hearts into teaching us.The school provided us with doctors as well as nurses who always went above and beyond for all of us.Organization and timing was always on point. We did clinical rotations at many local hospitals as well as having FAU and St.Marys fully welcoming us into there simulator laboratory. I-enjoyed my experience so much the first time around, that when I heard the school was offering a LPN-RN bridge program I was so eager to sign up. Yes it is private pay but at the end of the day you will take more out with loans on top of financial aide then this school would ever cost you! As long as your up front they work with you! I strongly recommend and am proud to say I went to Capscare Academy.Meredith Gilbert

First of all, I’m not one for posting anything, especially online but I don’t think the school is getting its due recognition. Capscare was a God send for me. The program was challenging and intense. The instructors that I encountered were nurses with no less than a BSN degree. Very helpful, encouraging, and knowledgeable. The clinical instructors were great also. Both in lab and on site at the facilities. They made you feel at ease while giving you the technical skills you need. Once the program was completed, I was not left behind. I was followed by the instructors during the entire RN-NCLEX review process with regular scheduled appointments and phone calls at least three to four times a week down to the last few days before the exam. It was great to see the lengths they went to in order to help you to pass the boards. I, personally was impressed. My advice would be…. give Capscare a try. Their return call response time needs improvement, but don’t be discouraged. They really are there to give you help and hope for a successful RN-NCLEX exam experience. I passed the first time, and took less than 2 hours to do it!Babylon System

I was in the RN ADN program and I am very grateful that I found this school! Right from the beginning Ms. Hacker was very helpful, encouraging and very knowledgeable. The classes were small and the instructor always answered questions and was always very informative. After finishing the classes Mrs. Hacker continued to email us exams and then graded them and sent rationales so that we would continue to study and be successful for the RN NCLEX exam and I was able to pass the NCLEX exam on the first try. Yay!!! This is a great school and I would definitely recommend it to anyone! Thanks Capscare Academy for all your help. I must mention that many schools can learn a lot from your program.Evelyn Hernandez

When my husband Walt and I decided we wanted to take the stress out of our life and move to a Senior Independent Living facility we pretty much thought we would go to Gulf Coast Village since my mom had been here when it was only 2 years old and it was such a wonderful experience for her and us. But our only child lived in Texas and wanted us to move to out there. So we took a trip to visit her and toured 4 or 5 of the facilities in the area. While it was close to her and they were all new and beautiful but not in the weather we had gotten used to in SW Florida and we felt that perhaps being closer to her could wait until only one of us was alive. While sad, she understood how we felt but asked that we explore other newer facilities in our area to make sure that Gulf Coast Village was the right one for us. While we had been attending many of the social gatherings at Gulf Coast Village, met residents and staff and felt right at home we honored her request. We visited 4 or 5 of the local facilities that were newer and met the people who were marketing them. All very nice people and lovely facilities but not all were "Forever Care" and they all had such a "clinical" feel to them. While they were newer they lacked the "I am home" feeling that the wooded campus of Gulf Coast Village had. At that point we were sold. It was not easy to make such a drastic move but once settled in we felt like we were living on a cruise ship. Now while that was impressive, it is nothing compared to the feeling of living in a lovely little section of a wonderful mansion with so many things to do and with so many others who are sharing the experience. And even that… is nothing compared to living in a place with staff that treats you with love and patience as though you are family. We truly wish we had done this 5 years ago when we were younger instead of waiting. It would have been so much easier. But thankfully we did do it and turns out when all factors are considered such as food, entertainment, maintenance etc….it is less money monthly to live here in our little piece of heaven. Perhaps you will decide to join us in the experience. If you do, be sure to looks us up. Jacqui and Walt Smithjacqueline smith

I am sad that I had to leave even 1 star. I spent 34 days in this facility and I have to say it was the worst experience of my life. 9 I have never left a bad review but I feel compelled as far as this place is concerned. The food was terrible and the meals were always cold. The entire time I was there I think I had 1 warm meal. They moved me 3 times I had to wait for the 2hrs the 2nd time while they cleaned and sanitized a room for me. Well guess what the room they gave me was filthy, shoes stuck to the floor and bugs were running rampant. It had not been cleaned. It was so disgusting that my physical therapist cleaned the floor with wet paper towels. I was in that room for 2 weeks and they never cleaned it. Also my call button did not work there were times I had to wait a long time for help to the bathroom. I tested positive for covid after 3 weeks because they moved the patients with covid right next door to me. They hung a curtain in the hallway to keep the covid germs away, what a joke. Half of the time the nurses and CVNs didn't wear the proper garments to enter my room. I even had a nurse come mto my room.with no gloves,no mask, and no paper gown. l called management nearly every day to no avail. Lynn DavisLynn Davis

How does one manage a pandemic? Let me tell you how Gulf Coast Village does it. They do it by caring. Every hour of every day they care by providing us with meals in our apartments, activities we can do either by ourselves or in small groups well spaced apart, shopping at stores for us, taking us to our doctor appointments, and providing for those with special needs. For each of these actions, the well trained staff demonstrate remarkable patience, skill, and humor. The dining selections offered in our weekly menu show the imagination and talent in our kitchen. Although the servings are boxed, each item is carefully prepared, and the proof is in the tasting. The meals are distributed by the dining room servers to our door where we make our selection for the day. They may suggest and offer help as well as recommendations, but maintain the strict discipline required for our isolation. With everyone wearing a face mask, recognition of our servers is difficult. I want to tell them all how much I appreciate what they, and the entire staff, are doing to make us comfortable and safe during this seriously troubling epidemic. May God bless them!.Stuart Hodes

Since I have placed my dad Luis to Hope Pace in Cape Coral I can’t say nothing but great things about the program and the staff there. They have been incredibly helpful to our family at a time of need. I brag about them all the time and would recommend them. I brag about the staff all the time. Thanks so much for all that you do.Ana Rodriguez

The staff there is excellent but for my personal experience with them, there is a need of improvement in communications.Migdalina Linares

Mr.Martion ( idk how to spell his name) was very rude and unprofessional. Yesterday I took my GED test and lost time because he and a lady in the testing center did not want to attend me. Today I called and Martino was very rude to me and told me I did not lose time because I wasn’t attended( he was arguing with me and rising his voice a bit) but I called a GED representative and they said I indeed lost time because no one attended me before my test started at 1:30….. I was stilling waiting to take my test at 1:35 and still no one came to help me. I only got 60 minutes for my test and I had to guess on multiple questions although I did pass I was not given enough time and got a low passing score when I knew I could have gotten a High score and college credit. this is not the first time I or my boyfriend had problems with him either restaff or set him straight!Snagurr

I only gave two stars because I graduated from the high school side. Outside of my school experience, as a customer their automotive collusion side isn't good. If you choose to being your car there because you graduated from the school (or not) DO NOT take it over there. After they got my car they didn't check everything like the teacher said he and his students did. Plus at a ACTUAL auto shop the workers are NOT supposed to get in contact with their customers over their personal cellphones only through a company phone(don't tell me other wise because I did my research). It's weird/wrong they made me pay about 4000 for things they didn't fix under my hood.Selena Young

I am currently enrolled in the aviation program the program is basically run by no one there’s no organization we sit around doing nothing a lot of the time because they’re understaffed. They have had the same teacher for about 10 years who just currently left and was messing up on documentation and would lose students information moral of the story is this school is a disaster don’t get caught in the trap!!!!!! There just about moneyKyle McKenna

Spoke with the director and set up a tour for today and my daughter was looking forward to it. We arrived at my tour time. Rang the doorbells and called their phone upon arrival – just to be ignored. The mailman actually entered the code to let us in. We stood there in the front lobby and waited 10 minutes for someone to assist us. I heard multiple staff members speaking loudly in the hallways to each other but no one came to the front ever to see if someone was even there or to help. I am disappointed. If they can’t even handle a tour then I don’t feel comfortable sending my child there for care. I never write reviews but felt I needed to share my experience to prevent others from wasting their time.Stephanie B

I absolutely LOVE this school/daycare, they have always been so willing to help my son transition from his first day ever at daycare, to learning his colors, numbers, letters, manners and they stick by the Christian principles. That's so comforting to a mother's and father's heart! We've had a total of four of our kids/ stepkids go to this daycare then on to their school and it has always been a benefit to our children and us! I would recommend this Academy to anyone with kids of any age! Thank you Nicaea Academy Cape Coral for all your love and compassion and patience with us as parent's and our children! God Bless you all!Amy Dawes

I love there child care facility! Both of my children have been attending Nicaea for over a year. One is 3 and the other is 1. Yes there has been one incident that worried me but the director handled it accordingly. Erica is extremely pro-active, and it was perfectly clear that it was more a parenting issue than a supervision one. I am very fortunate to have found Nicaea Academy because I can trust them fully in supervising and educating my children.Gwen Nunez

Amazing school! Almost done with my Medical Assisting Program and every teacher I have had has gone above and beyond for me and helping me when I'm struggling with my studies… If anyone has anything bad to say about this school, it's because of their own personal issues of why they did not succeed at this school. I am in my last class and am graduating with straight A's! If you put in the time and effort to study and be here, then there is no reason to not succeed and if you didn't do those things, then you are 100% responsible for your failures, not the teachers, not this school. This school is great! I'm not even done and I've already had interview offers and the women in career services help you ready yourself for interviews, help you create your resume and help with setting up interviews, they even provide nice clothes for you if you can not afford to buy your own! This school goes above and beyond for the students here. The accept financial aide and stupdent loans AND THEY ARE ACCREDITED!!!! Not as expensive as most schools! I'm glad I chose this school and greatful to be able to better myself with them helping me achieve my goals! Thank you Southern Tech!!!Sheay Pennington

I love this school! I have not had one bad experience with the teachers or any of the staff. When I first came to the school to check it out I was super nervous, but they walked me through the whole campus showing me all the classrooms and explaining how everything goes. Once I saw all of that I was so excited to get started!!! I would totally recommend this college for anyone who’s looking to further their career. They really do care about the students and work with us to make sure we pass our classes and get the good grades that we deserve 😊 I’m about to graduate from the Medical Assisting program with straight A’s. I have seen negative reviews that do not make sense to me, these people are great and give credit where it’s due. Before you judge this place from other people’s bad reviews, give it a try yourself!Dana Morgan

OKAY. Despite all previous negative comments, I'm having a great experience and as far as caring goes.. teachers wont care for you if you wont care for your work. That's just how it goes. This isn't high school its college. And for more generalized information this school was South West Florida College until it was bought out by a private institution and then was name Southern Technical College. So yes the price is more, its what you expect if you'd put your child in a private school; it would be more extra. So I'm sorry I do not agree with any comments. Financial representatives were amazing and still continue to be. And personally my teachers where there for me. They were always very lenient and gave credit when its due. I cannot speak for any program other than Criminal Justice. I never had any problems. =)amanda peroza
