20 Best 2 Year Nursing Programs In Oklahoma City, OK (2022 Updated)

This school is hardly what it pretends to be in its recruiting campaigns. The professors are usually great, and the student culture is very welcoming, but the administration of the school is far over reaching, and their public image is decietful at best. Nothing really sets this school apart from any other secular liberal arts college except their over-bearing restrictions and expectations. They claim to be affordable and award academic scholarships generously but don't factor that into your budget for the long haul: tuition rises, awards don't. Apart from those scholarships, the school is especially expensive and needlessly so. They require an expensive meal plan for their unbelievably wasteful cafeteria and they charge high price for minimal housing accommodation. You will find that once you enroll here you drop to the bottom priority of the administration. Everything here is about impressing visitors (well except for the attrocious landscaping across campus). On football game days, you will likely have difficulty finding parking spaces, despite the fact that you live here and ought to be able to park here. If on gameday you decide to park elsewhere on campus (if you manage to find a space) you will almost certainly receive a citation. Citations are enforced on the students who live here and pay to attend, but visitors are given a pass for just about every infraction they could dream of committing. For their most recent new residence center they have added only a gravel parking lot (behind the building so visitors hopefully won't see it) and I assume they don't intend to pave it considering it's been 3 years now. Who knows if this trend will continue. Internet has never been great here but it gets worse as the years go on. They have installed more restrictions over their network as the years go on. YouTube is hit or miss since half the intersting things you'll find might be blocked. (I'm not talking about just innapropriate content, but almost anything from an unverified channel that might be censored). Like most Christian colleges they have a chapel requirement, and they are very strict about it. You won't graduate unless you watch all 96 of the half-baked evangelistic sermons they force feed you and don't you dare try to be distracted by your phone or with homework. I don't want you to get the wrong idea here. You probably will struggle to find another university that's much better about most these issues. My point is, though, that OBU really is nothing exceptional as a school and especially not as a Christian school. It's very clear that they are far more concerned about the prevalence of Christian appearance than ministering to their students or their community. Just go to a state school and join a campus ministry if you really want a Christian experience in college. This place isn't worth it.Tony Carter

You won't find a university with a more caring staff, faculty, or student body. Within a week of being on campus, I found my place. OBU offers plenty of student organizations and sports and encourages campus involvement (Biggie, Spring Affair, basketball, football, TWIRP, and more). Yes, classes are rigorous, but I felt more prepared for a career than friends who attended state schools. After attending a state school myself, I can say I felt more like a person than an ID number at OBU. Your professors will know who are and even invite you for afternoon tea. Whether you are enjoying the hammocks in the spring, filling the fountain with bubbles, or attending Canterbury, it's easy to find your place at OBU.Cami Sayre

The theatre professors are great and a lot of the students are nice but other than that this school sucks. You are forced to take classes that have nothing to do with your major, forced to do chapel and worst of all the food is disgusting except on days they have students that are wanting to go there to school. Its a waste of money and time and too expensive. You are better off going to OU or another college. And you will not get your tuition money or work study jobs. And if you are a theatre student you are forced to build sets even if you want to act. And if you are a minority your chances of getting a part in a play is slim pickings. Save ur money and go to another school. #slavelaborFinese Leoni

Let’s 👏🏻 Stop 👏🏻 Texting 👏🏻 And 👏🏻 Calling 👏🏻 Me 👏🏻 Asking 👏🏻 If 👏🏻 I 👏🏻 Want 👏🏻 To 👏🏻 Receive 👏🏻 More 👏🏻 Texts 👏🏻 And 👏🏻 Calls. I have answered NO about 20 times at least. Your school provided years of mental trauma to me and I am just now trying to find peace with Jesus again after being shown how the “Church of Christ” handles students who are struggling with their ridiculous rules and trying to attend enough events every semester to make the staff feel good, or have any worldviews apart from their own. Good luck working out over the next decade with this new generation who loves to love!Morgan Christie

Do you want to be shown the OPPOSITE of Christ’s love, and be taught to live the OPPOSITE ways he has directed us to in the Bible? Look no further! This school enjoys collecting fines from students and scrutinizing young adults, even going as far as to kick them out with no chance of finishing their school year or earning their money back, because there was a male student hanging out with them in their apartment. 8 years ago, that’s exactly what they did to me! Be careful not to have any opposite gender friends; they’re a big no-no to God apparently.Morgan C

As an OC alumni I daily an thankful for my time at OC. I was challenged intellectually and I greatly enjoyed my time with my brothers in Kappa Sigma Tau. I plan on returning for graduate work because of the personal relationship I gained with many of my professors during my undergraduate studies. The student/teacher ratio is one of the best things about this school and if you're looking for a Christian education that challenges your faith and prepares you for the workplace, this is a great University to look at.Brent Stafford

Love love love Redlands works with ya helps you when you need it and the teachers and staff members are amazing, I went to the school store and got me a t shirt today, Redlands staff are always so helpful and will help guide you along your college journey, the teachers are very helpful and caring and very very understanding and are their to help You be very successful, they do online classes and have different degree offers their is always give always and fun activities that they set up at the college that is kid friendly as well for students who are parents you can either stay at home or the college dorms, but other than that Redlands so far has been a very amazing college experience for me and I'm so glad I chose Redlands for me to go to get my degree.Angelica Clark

I met a lot of great faculty members that were passionate about their subject and engaging to their students. Not to mention the Horse Whisperer Bob Hooker! I have never met a more patient, calm and effective trainer!Brad Burke

Redlands Community College is an outstanding school providing an affordable education to students in the El Reno area. The professors and staff are all deeply in tune with the welfare of their studentsBurger Boy

This school doesn't even deserve 1 star but that was the only option. My son has been denied into this school 2 years in a row even as a student! Last year he couldn't get in even after going through all the tests because the program closed. This year he applied as a student but wanted more if he could get more. I found out he doesn't qualify for a student because he graduates in May so we were told to apply for another program. He applied for another program going through a 2nd interview only to not get into a program once again!!! It is very disappointing because when someone wants to learn and told they can't it can discourage that child. We now are now forced to look elsewhere. I don't think he will apply here again because being denied twice…..it just shows you are not as invested in young adults learning as you say. Educating students that trade school is the way to go only just to shut the door in their face is extremely unprofessional. Not everyone wants to attend college but what do you do when college and tech schools are both not an option?waleta morgan

I just got finished with my basic motorcycling course through MNTC and i’m posting this on behalf of the warehouse and the school itself. I had some riding experience but this class has helped sharpen my skills as a rider. It was a long 20 hour weekend but our instructor, Dennis Phillips, made sure to make the best out of it and taught the class extremely well. I was more than satisfied with how Dennis instructed and ran the class. Shout out to his wife for also giving us pointers. The bikes provided for the course were very nice and easy to learn on. this also was the cheapest course I’ve found around for a level one bike course, take it here! Dennis will take care of you. I don’t write a lot of reviews but really wanted to make sure everyone knows Dennis is the best instructor in the area, will keep everyone safe and have some fun while learning! Thank you so much Dennis and Nicole for making me and my classmates safer riders.Tavian Johnson

I had a little bit of confusion in the beginning of signing up with my asbestos refresher course. Two ladies named Bobbi & franc ( so sorry if I spelled the names wrong) We’re just the mouse to help for ladies I have ever talk to in my life on the phone. They were very informational very supportive very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I felt like they went out of their way to help me and I am so satisfied with my purchase of classes at this school. Every year for my refresher course I drive down from Eufaula Oklahoma to take my refresher, I love the teacher I love the faculty I just don’t think they’re a better school!!! Thank you again so much ladies for all of your help -Jacob.hJacob High

I can't speak to the actual course offerings, but I can attest to their treatment of potential customers/students. I went here yesterday to try and enroll in their Enterprise Development program as part of the Programming and Software Development track and was turned away with a three to four year wait period! That's longer than it would take to get into an actual college, and if it actually does take that long to get into a program, I would think that a disclaimer on their website might be helpful to avoid potential miscommunication in the future. I had been planning on taking this program for the past eight months or so, and it was a little disappointing to be turned away without even so much as having my information taken so that I could be notified when and if something opens up. Also, the fact that they offer free education for high school students but not for everyone else is completely ludicrous. If they are able to offer free education for high school students, why not do it for everyone? The gentleman that I spoke to seemed courteous and even shook the male student's hand that he saw before me, but then during my consultation he was extremely short and very unhelpful. I'm not sure if it's because I'm a female or what, but the disparity in attitude was a big red flag to me. Luckily there are other better options out there online, so I'll just use this as motivation to find an alternate route to achieve my career goals.Elizabeth S.

If you’re thinking of joining the esthetician/manucurist program READ THIS! I advise you take your money else where. I was on the waiting list for a year and was very excited about finally starting school. I’ve officially been here 4 months and can count on one hand how many times the instructor has actually taught me anything. I teach myself with YouTube videos and occasional help from my peers. I’m part of the manicurist program and originally planned to enroll back into this school for the esthetician program but I’d much rather take my money to an esthetician program at a different school. Where they actually care to teach you something at least twice a week. I have 3 months left and have hardly learned anything from my instructor! Do not feel prepared for my State Board exam at all.Kimberly Strob

I went through the cosmtology program in 2 years and I finished up my hours in June 2018. The teachers were all very nice and but didn’t set any of us up for success in the real world. They taught us how to pass state board but what’s the point of passing and having no skill. When trying to find jobs we are automatically at a disadvantage because we didn’t have enough hands on experience. It’s a nice start but you will need continued education to be as good as students who graduated from other schools. We needed more color theory and cutting classes and less cross words, word searches, pin curls and roller sets.Anonymous user

My husband and son are here this morning for a written driving test. Everyone here has greeted us, asked us if we need assistance, and has been thoroughly helpful. Even when we walked into the door to a common area, random people greeted us and asked if we needed help. I am extremely pleased and impressed, and I am honestly looking at their course catalog now. I hope my kids have the opportunity to take classes here. And, the campus is truly beautiful.Debra Stiger

I have looked for 20 minutes trying to find information on medication aide class and I couldn't find anything. I called up here and they told me to get online and go here and there to find it. I already did that this is why I called. All I wanted was the price and hours and I still have no idea but she could have just told me on the phone instead of explaining which tabs to click on. I'll just look into a different school.Elle Sgr

Proud graduate, Class of 2019, from the Radiologic Technology program there, and the first and, thus far, only gold medalist at the Postsecondary/Collegiate level from Metro Technology Centers at HOSA-Future Health Professionals' annual International Leadership Conference. I highly recommend Metro Technology Centers to anyone who is looking for a better life, especially in the health care field.amanhas landedhere

Attended a summer conference hosted here, and found the building was pleasantly air-conditioned, not freezing, and the rest-rooms were clean, well supplied, and quite adequate for the large number of attendees. The central conference room had movable partitions that divided it into smaller meeting rooms, and these walls insulated about 90% of the sound. Architecture included pockets of natural light from circular sitting rooms at the ends of several hallways, and outdoor seating areas with thoughtful landscaping. Classrooms on exterior walls had windows with see-through sunshades, blocking the heat but admitting some light quite nicely. Overhead lighting was not harsh white but a softer natural light. Overall, an excellent choice.Denise Klein

My girlfriend took a CNA class here. Should have known better when they claimed no refunds when paying for the class. The Nurse in charge of the class was not helpful at all, two different nurses told her she should be on different videos than the other one said she should be on. Basically they handed her notes and a book and called it a class with zero guidance and nothing but confusion. So of course she quit taking that class and they didn't want to give a refund. If you are thinking of taking this course here save yourself the time and flush 500 bucks down the toiletJeffrey Powell

I took the flextrack CMA class. I must say the teachers pointed out important things to know during all skills tests on the cart. They really worked with me when I didn't understand something quite surely. They guided to me to be a Certified CMA today. Thank you guys.Amy Kitchens

They have/had a contract with a company to train CNAs during covid, they failed to train the class that started on February 14, part was due to weather and part was due to the teacher not really caring if the students learned. Fast forward to test day, that was a joke the hands on equipment was gross and broken. The instructions where being read by someone who spoke broken English. The bladder to the blood pressure cuff was outside the wrap. Of course test taker failed first try. Finally got a retest date, test is on the 19th is all we were told until 4:45pm today the 16th and they scheduled the written test for 6:30am and skills at 9am. We tried to see if it could be started at 7am just so the baby could be taken to daycare they said no and aren't even willing to try to work out a better time. This is by far the WORST school ever. They didn't provide textbook nor work books just gave you tube links for information to be looked up. If you are someone who asks questions or needs help DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE!carol wagle

I just completed my CNA training. My instructor Jennifer was fantastic! She was upbeat, positive and very knowledgeable. She made the class feel comfortable and confident. I learned so much great information in class. The website was easy to navigate and contained all the information I needed to pass the exam. The rest of the staff was super friendly and helpful (Thanks Everyone). This was the best learning experience that I have ever had. I am going to get my LPN certification at Mednoc.Gary Freeman

I just recently finished the CNA class here and I loved it! My instructor was very kind, well-educated, and professional. Everyone was very helpful. The facility was clean and well-kept, too. Overall, it was a great experience and I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in taking a medical training class.alyssa cote

If I could leave a zero star review, I would. There are some quality nurses that work here, however client beware they will drop (discharge) you on a whim. After a recent surgery, my 80 year old mother was discharged with a care plan to ensure she would receive her antibiotic drip 3 times per day at home. Only 4 days in, I received notification that they had "kind of goofed up on the skilled nursing rates". But was ensured, "not to worry, that there was a plan to fix it". They offered to honor the rate quoted for 3 days. Day 1 became day 2 and day 2 I was put off until day 3. On day 3, the "plan to fix it" was 1) my mom does the drip herself (she does not have the dexterity) 2) she goes to a facility (she does not want to leave her husband of 48 years) or 3) she pays 3x the amount quoted. When I offered another, more viable solution, I was hung up on. Several minutes later, I received a text from the owner/manager that all in home care was being canceled. Interim Healthcare discharged my mom. Yes, they gave the obligated 5 day discharge notice, but expected my mom to pay the new rate for those 5 days. This was NOT a I "kind of goofed up on the skilled nursing rates". This was a gross misrepresentation of the cost of care to get my mother home. Where I am from, when this happens the company takes the loss. In this case, my mom is the one that is suffering. And our family will be the one taking the loss when my mom dies of sepsis from not receiving her antibiotics. This was the SECOND time they canceled service on my mom. Screw me once shame on you. Screw me twice shame on me.Tonda Fields

I am a nurse, navy veteran and have worked at interim for about 7 months. I can honestly say that it was the best decision for my family and career. The main reason I chose to work at interim is because of the many programs available to care for veterans and that it’s family owned! I have many family members that served throughout their life and I’d absolutely recommend interim to care for my own family whether that’s home health, palliative or hospice! The knowledge and compassion from the nurses who trained me is unbeatable. The leadership and culture is incredibly positive, they strive to achieve this goal every single day to ensure quality care and quality staff. This company always takes care of each employee, they hold fun and creative events for staff and patients, offer informative and up to date training and they communicate thoroughly to work together to provide the utmost medical care. The patients and their family are all one of a kind! It is such an honor to provide care for each patient throughout their home health journey. If you want quality care at home, Interim is the right choice.Taylor Melendez

I have worked in healthcare/Therapyworld for 10+ years and have never been around such a great team of office staff, physicians, nurses, aides, and therapists alike. Top-to-bottom, Interim Healthcare is a great place to work, along with providing your loved ones the care you or they may need. I truely appreciate the time they have invested in the efforts to help make me a better therapist as well. That says a lot about an organization willing to provide their employees help, to continue providing the care needed for our patients in the community. It's all about giving the best care possible. And I can say, I am happy to be alongside a team that puts care first!Shannon Gogel

My brother (Tom) was diagnosed with Cancer that had spread to his brain. He was given only a few months to live, and he wanted to spend that time at home. Unfortunately, he was at great risk for seizures so he could not be left alone. I contacted the Midwest City location of Visiting Angels and explained my brother's condition. The staff was very responsive. They scheduled an in-home visit quickly and provided several options as to how they could help. We chose to have 24hr./7 days/week in home care for for Tom. The Care team consisted of a Registered Nurse and 2 live in Companions. The Registered Nurse oversaw the work of the Companions, and was the point person with the family. The companions prepared meals for Tom, made sure he remained safe when moving about the house, and riding his stationary bike. They dispensed his medication, and kept us informed of any changes/concerns relating to Tom's condition and care. The Visiting Angels staff also assisted us in obtaining Hospice Care. The staff belonging to the 2 separate agencies communicated with each other on a consistent basis. This communication enabled everyone to be aware of Tom's condition, and kept everyone up to date as to current plan of care. I highly recommend Visiting Angels of Southeast Oklahoma. The people that we worked with were compassionate, skilled and caring. We were provided with clear information as to what to expect, and the details of who to contact when we needed something. Tom was well cared for and our family felt great comfort in knowing he was being taken care of when we could not be there ourselves. Peg SamuelsonPeg Samuelson

We have recently engaged Visiting Angels of SE OKC to provide care 10 hours during the day for our mother after Dad's passing. Mom was lost, confused and needed more social contact. Her health was failing and we were very concerned. We do not live close enough to visit daily – my sister and I take turns seeing Mom on the weekends. Soon after the angels began visiting Mom, she came alive again. She has even learned to use Facebook with the help of the Angels and is now in touch with out of state family. The change has been wonderful and Mom is attached to each of her caregivers. Visiting Angels has been a lifesaver for our family and for Mom. We get updates from the Visiting Angels staff after any visit if there is ever an issue that they feel we would be concerned about. This gives us peace of mind. We highly recommend Visiting Angels. They are extremely caring – from the office staff to each of the caregivers!Pat Merryweather

Tina is my visiting angel and she comes prepared to dive right in and give me invaluable help. My husband is a Vietnam Veteran and almost totally disabled. She knows what to do without being told and from the minute she walks in, she is prepared to help in any way possible. I appreciate the help more than I can say and will always request Visiting Angels due to Tina's loving and compassionate care. She is very careful under these circumstances when she has to cope with the virus as well as her workJeri Hinkle

My parents have lived at the Statesman Club for the past four years and have loved it from the day they moved in. Every single employee treats them as family. We could not have chosen a better place for them to live. The other residents are all great too, which really matters if you visit other places. There is always something going on to do. My mom loved her water aerobics classes… the heated pool was great. The food is also excellent. Not only do they provide two new menu choices at lunch and dinner, they offer fish, chicken, burgers, etc. that you can order off of the menu. Rose is the head chef and does an amazing job. The wait staff are very patient with all of the residents. I have noticed this not only with my parents but with everyone there. Many times elderly can be borderline rude when they want something. But the staff always shows these people patience and kindness. Housekeeping comes weekly and my parents love Jocelyn. She is so attentive and loving to my parents! The Statesman Club provides transportation to doctors appointments on Tuesdays and Thursdays as well as other places like WalMart, etc. Utilities, including basic cable, are provided. All you have to do is get a home phone if you want one. If you or your parents are ready to live somewhere where you don't have to worry about cooking or cleaning anymore, you cannot find a better home than the Statesman Club! Call them and ask for Valerie. She'll treat your parents like family just like she did mine!H. J. Crow

Hate to tell you this Helen. I don't know who your parents are but the staff is still very friendly but the food has gone down tremendously under Brookdale's Administration. They announced or at least made it known the other day they will no longer serve hamburgers at lunch because too many people were eating those instead of the main menu items. They never thought that maybe that was happening because no one liked their menu choices!! I'm not going to sign this because they will know who I am when I post this next statement. My dad has to take supplemental food to the dining room or order half menu and a hot dog. They don't feed people enough to survive. Notice they have had a HUGE turnover lately? I think it's from malnutrition and rapid weight loss. My parents have been there for 10 years. Mom died this year but dad…takes food to the dining room so he has enough to eat. Also, the activity director would just as soon no one show up for her activities. The entertainment on Friday nights has dropped tremendously to nobody showing up or if they do, don't pay attention. The Casady School kids used to come 2-3 times a year and entertain them. The people loved it. They stopped coming because the activity director was never prepared for them and it was always nothing but a cluster-f**k. Signed ME!Kathy Lantz

My mother has lived at the Statesman for around 6, maybe 7 years, and overall it has been the best move she could have made. She went from a year living with us and feeling like a shut-in, to the Independent Living that fits her very independent lifestyle. The Statesman has the activities, excursions, Beautiful facility, and amenities, to keep most of this very diverse group of retired individuals. As most will not experience everything offered at the Statesman, tell your loved ones to try the pool! My mother loves it, and uses it at least three times a week, but this is one of the most under-used amenities at the facility, and at the average age of the residents it should be the most! Generally she still loves living here, even though she is on a restricted diet, for the most part they take care of that, and of course, she can fix her own meals in her kitchen when they don't.David Bourn

This is an account of my Mother in law’s stay. She is 95 and needed skilled nursing rehab so she could go back home to living independently. She was there two days to long. These were week days. We quickly saw the quality of care not good but really wanted to like this beautiful well staffed facility. When we arrived, she had been transported from Mercy Hospital. She had been there for over 30 minutes. No one had set up a call button and not until we insisted did anyone come to her room to assist. She would of been there for hours without help. She had no food and we had to go get her food at the kitchen. Check in was horrible. The next day she needed water and pushed the call button, no one answered for 1 1/2 hours. She was quarantined from coming out of her room even if she could of walked out to get her some, which she was not able on her own. Their protocol if you have not had Covid booster in the last 6 months. She had 3, but was waiting for the 4th. When my husband was gathering her things to leave a woman was hollering for help, yet no staff was assisting her. My question is why have a place this nice, well staffed and have no help for these precious patients. She is out of there and we are thankful for there are places that do care. Improvement is much needed. Don’t be influenced by the frills. Jan BoldingJan Bolding

My folks moved in here about 8 years ago and found themselves in company with all kinds of people they have known over the years. The CEO Ron Kelly says people are trying to transfer in from other area facilities, which is easy to understand. 7 day a week showings, with a Goldilocks type option for immersion visits for the serious buyer to come and try out services live on the campus for a few hours. This place is coming back to life after COVID. There's a full service continuum for independent living, assisted living, dementia care and skilled nursing units. My Mom AND her friends swear this is the very best place to live as they age.Diana Winslow MSW

This is a place where older adults I know find friends, old and new. They continue to work on improving program and service gaps. They have some Goldilocks options, where potential residents can visit with current residents, and hang out at some service points to see how they like it. Epworth has regular live and virtual tours. This property offers basic independent residences of all sorts, assisted living and skilled nursing, including dementia care resources. Epworth has affiliated with Mercy and other providers. It's been in top place more than once in area newspapers surveys.Diana Winslow MSW ACSW

My mom has been at Brookdale Oklahoma City Southwest for two years now. My brother and I selected it because of its homey atmosphere; not too big and not too little. I have been very pleased with the administration and caregivers! They all genuinely seem to care for the residents. The first year was a learning experience for me just dealing with a loved one with dementia and they also had to learn what stimulated my mom's memory. She loves music and dancing! There is hymn singing every Thursday at 1:00 and a faithful gentleman, Kurt, comes in and leads the music. If mom is hurting from all the weather changes, the music always lifts her spirits! When they have parties, family gathering, or just someone playing or singing impromptu, my mom probably will start to dance. I discovered from her living at Brookdale that my mom was and still is quite a dancer (jitterbug, etc.) I love seeing this side of her! I would definitely recommend Brookdale Oklahoma City Southwest to others. The family atmosphere, care, activities, food, and fun are many reasons to seek it out for a loved one. Debbie Mortensen (daughter)John Mortensen

I moved my mom there 6 months ago and she seems to be doing well with the adjustment. She smiles at the staff and is eating better than at the other place. I think the staff is very attentive to her and the other residents. If I ever have a question come up, I just talk to the staff and it gets addressed promptly. The staff really cares about the residents' well being. The staff is always working on activities for the residents and they really seem to enjoy themselves. The support group for caregivers is also helpful. All in all, I am very happy that I made the move for mama and wish I had done it sooner. Thank you staff for helping me realize I made the right choice.brenda card

The staff at Brookdale South is just like family. They always have the best interest of the patient at heart. The facility is clean, cheerful. The family nights they host they host are great and give the residents special time to interact with others. I looked at a lot of places before deciding on this facility and would say it is the best. My friend used to be home alone with no interaction except from his neighbor and me. Lonely and now he is here , clean happy and enjoying people and eating three meals a day and actually smiling a lot which he never did before. The staff is amazing. Highly recommend this facility.Lenie Treadway

The teachers treat the adult students like they are kids and the computer repair class is a joke. The teachers will even say that you will be doing most of the learning on your own, then like what is the point of going to the school? I was gotten onto for being late when I was on time. Their clocks ran fast, I was given a tardy even though their time was wrong. When I needed the help the teacher would just get angry and get mad he would have to help. If you want a place that teachers treat you like an adult and treat you like an actual teacher should I would look elsewhere. This was the worst school experience I have had so far.ImEMP VR

This is not a place for anybody with any kind of special needs. They take anyone who has trouble learning or they think is hard to handle and stick them in the custodian class instead of actually trying to help them find a career they want So if you know anyone who has a special kid here or is thinking about taking their special needs kid here please let them know that they will not get treated right heretimburtonfan 1

Went for testing the admin LS was reluctant to take my documentation submitted by State. Her daughter who isn’t employed was shadowing her with all my confidential information in view and once successfully completing exam was provided test results from printer with little ink which made my document illegible and when I asked her about it she stated it would be fine. Not the case at all.Ms. Sutton

I love the CSBA and will continue to go there whenever I can to get something done. I have had my nails, hair, make up and a facial there and I loved it. I go often to get a Meni Pedi and sometimes take my niece with me since they seem to be the only ones that can handle people with ticklish feet. I have got my hair done twice their now and love that I can get a cut and color for only $38 just a color at other salons cost a min of $65. Today 6-17-14 I went in and wanted a whole new look a color and cut. I knew what color I wanted but not the cut just that I wanted it short. The girl I had her name was Morgan and she is very sweet and understanding. She was shocked that I pretty much wanted all my hair chopped off since it was to my mid back. I explained that I was recently diagnosed with a medical issue that was causing my hair to fall out and that instead of shaving it all off I would try just cutting it short. She got the dye right the very first time and dyed my hair perfect with no mistakes at all. Was very professional while working on my hair. I wasn't sure how I wanted it cut so she provided me some magizens to look at and I showed her what I liked and her and the girl working at the station next to her described some styles that they thought would look good on me. They came up with one that I couldn't say no to. It was Awesome the instructor showed her how to best do it with my hair since I have thin hair and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I have never had my hair this short before and never thought that I would. I love my hair. I have never walked out of a Salon feeling so excited about my hair as I did today. THANK YOU MORGAN!!! I will defiantly be going back to CSBA!!Jessica Craig

I went there for a day of beauty that I won> I got a manicure,facial, shampoo and haircut and style and make up, declined the pedicure due to the fact I have a lot of pain in my feet and don't like them touched. the manicure was good given what she had to work with cause I have hardly any nails to begin with, loved the wax dip she did it made my hands feel like they were melting felt very nice. the girl was very nice and quiet but did engage in conversation some. the facial was done by a girl who had very good massaging techniques, she about put me to sleep. when it was over I was all like can't I just have you do this all day lol. my hairstylist did a good job as well with some assistance from a supervisor they both seemed to understand what I wanted and it was actually the first time EVER someone cut my hair right. the girl who did my makeup was good as well, she listened to what I said and thats what matters that and she had a very good personality and confidence. I have no complaints about my expeirence there and would go back againAva Simone

I just read a couple of the reviews. I have to say that several years back I went here for the manicure program. Yes, some of the things are a little out dated. But, it is cosmetology school. I will say one thing..While this was a few years back, I never once had an issue with any of the instructors. I went to school every day and actually finished 3 weeks early. Also, the way they teach you is exactly the way you have to do it at state board. It was second nature to me when I went to take my exam. I HAVE gone to another school since to complete the Esthetics program, because it was cheaper…there was a HUGE difference. I finished early as well there but the instruction was awful. They did not look out and watch for "bad habits" or even teach you how it will need to be done for the exam. There is much worse out there. My over all experience was just fine. It is all in what you are looking for.J H

My parents have been living at Legend for 4 months. I could not be happier with the facility. I drop in nearly every day to check on my parents. One of the first things I noticed about Legend was that the staff always has a smile for me when I come in. Employees genuinely care for the residents and are cheerful. My dad loves to tease and be teased, so they tease him. My mother is fairly quiet, so they interact with her in a more reserved manner. Everyone there knew my parents by name by the end of the first week. I feel like they go the extra mile to help my parents with their room, the laundry, getting meals to them or getting them to the dining hall. My parents love the food. The nursing staff tries to abide by my wishes in spite of the fact that my dad often has other ideas. My dad gets confused and frustrated by things, but they are good about cajoling him into a safe alternative. I have never seen angry employees, unsafe conditions, cleanliness problems or issues that have not been addressed in a timely manner. One reason we looked at Legend was an employee I ran into. He had worked there for nearly 2 years and he loved the place. He thought his boss was the best ever. I thought, if someone can work there for 2 years and still love their boss I should check the place out. Placing my parents there was an excellent decision. The cost is high, but you get what you pay for. Edited. It has been 3 years since I wrote this review. Both of my parents have passed away. My review of Legends still stands. They have the best staff ever. After 3 years many of the staff were the same as when my parents moved in. High staff retention says a lot of good things about a place. My mother lived through the covid times. She couldn't understand why I couldn't come in to see her, why I had quit eating with her or why masks. It was hard, but knowing they loved her and were taking excellent care of her made it acceptable.Deborah Martin

Went to see my fiance's father who resides in the memory care wing His father has deteriorated so much in just the 2 weeks he has been there that he just wanted to leave. We were given the impression that he would be engaged in activites from right after breakfast until lunch and then again after lunch until dinner. We got there just after 9:15am and were told at 9:30 that activities would be starting any minute We wanted to see what activities he would be participating in on this day we left at 10:53 and still no activities had begun The room was messy and the toilet was nasty. I asked about weather he was on insulin because while he was staying with us his blood sugar was in the high 200's to over 300 and he is diabetic they said his A1c was good and they give him peanut butter and jelly and cookies for lunch (Are you people crazy?) As far as memory care goes the only memory care I can see is that the wing he is on is locked so he can't wonder off. I said this was not what we were expecting when we got there. His dad was asleep and I was told that if he didn't want to participate he didn't have to and they were not going to make him so I made the statement that so he could just stay in his room and watch tv or sleep all day if he wanted? They said if that's what he wants. Then because I questioned them about his care they said I was confrontational and I was not allowed to come back.Sue Griffith

Facility was clean, neat, and residents well cared for, everything looked fantastic and like a really awesome place until I saw staff on cell phones, staff being bullied and verbally abused by other staff openly , even heard and saw what I am assuming was a supervisor making fun of other employees and using foul language. Employees looked miserable and you could tell that there were segregated groups that if you were not a part of them you were harassed and treated very poorly. This behavior was shocking to see amongst adults and in such a beautiful place, my hat is off to the poor women that have to work and endure such treatment, they are real troopers and despite the noticeable frustration and hurt these ladies were obviously feeling they never once showed it or took it out on a resident, great job ladies and head's up people see the truth and do notice your great job and hard work.MIKE Tompkins

The staff all around is terrible. Most of the professors act high and mighty. Constantly remind you that they’ve already gotten their degree while simultaneously refusing to give answers to the smallest questions. Also, departments such as housing and student conduct do not seem to care about their jobs. I constantly email, call, message; no matter what I do, they place me on hold and never get back to me. I’ve had the same concern for a month and tried THREE departments and nothing has come of it. I have pictures, emails, call logs and videos yet am not being taken serious. Parking is atrocious; why did I spend $200 just to not have anywhere to park ?! Such a small area is designated for student parking for as much as we spent on a pass. As someone stated before it’s extremely boring, and for us to be spending money for so many different things, we have access to so little. The school and staff is a joke but I’m sure when they see this review all of a sudden they’ll care about my concerns.Jaelyn williams

The professors at this school are amazing and the campus itself is very nice. However, parking is a nightmare and so is getting your GI Bill set up. The last school I was at made this process go by smoothly. Here, I did everything as instructed months in advance and still fear that I won't be able to enroll into classes next semester due to financial holds since my paperwork for this semester (that ends next month..) Has just been processed through the VA. I was told there's only one person processing all of the paperwork for every veteran student. This is unacceptable. If there's so many veterans at this school, employees should be proportionate to demand. After this semester, I might go to a different school or be forced to take it off and put my education on hold. I'm very disappointed.Raven Hickman

College charges kids $700 a semester to park a car in their parking lot even one day a week. There are people that can afford this many cannot. This is an unfair burden that is being placed on UCO families. Our child has to walk nearly a mile to find a place to park their car at school off campus after they drive 40 miles to get there. Now we are constantly worried about what's going to happen when they have to walk to their car late at night. Edmond as a city is not near as safe as it used to be. The UCO parking lot fee structure is exorbitant and unnecessary and this parking for profit will ultimately bring harm on those that cannot afford to pay UCOs sky high poor tax.SilverJ

Excellent college however the residence life is dismissive of suggestions and refuses to acknowledge problems such as when the gates are open people who don't pay for parking are parking inside the village residence, if you work you're penalized by a "first come, first served" policy (because how dare you contribute to society and actually work while going to college) that doesn't apply to staff who have their own reserved spots for parking near the buildings, dismissing the idea of doing region based parking for those who live near say building D to have parking near building D reserved for them and C gets parking near C, and so on. Went to the residence life office and was dismissed despite the sentiment being shared and having another student agree with the idea, which seemed a reasonable proposal. The housing life could do with having less stubbornness and actually having a process to allow suggestions to be voted on and approved rather than dismissing them. Feels more like you're living under tyranny you're paying for instead of a mutual arrangement.Aaron English

Not a great option for adult learners or those needing online classes. I had some great professors, but most classes had very limited professor involvement and were basically a glorified computer program with a high price tag. I also had emails ignored by more than one professor which I found to be unprofessional. I feel that the lack of engagement makes this school a poor value. If you are just trying to knock out a few courses this school is fine, but if you are seeking a professional, collaborative educational experience, I would apply elsewhere.Tiffny Sykes

I'm halfway finished with my second year and I couldn't be more happier! I'm glad I chose Rose State and applaud the professors and staff on how well they've adapted to the corona virus! They've added a new student center that is amazing too!… (update) still rocking! I love Rose State. Affordable and I feel like you get more attention from staff than you would University.Jeremy Fields

LOTS OF KRAMER NURSING STUDENTS REGRET COMING HERE. Kramer Nursing School has VERY LOW QUALITY OF EDUCATION. There are lots of INCOMPETENT INSTRUCTORS who do not know the subjects well enough to teach the classes. When students ask questions, they either tell the students the material is in the book or they say they will get back to you with the answers which they never do. Lots of students have to drop and retake courses because of the poor teaching. There are so many students who are VERY UNHAPPY and TRAPPED in the program because transferring to another nursing school means starting nursing school all over. There was a MASS CHEATING SCANDAL in the summer 2013 in Adult Health II course in that half of the class were put on academic probation. When half of the class were caught with academic dishonesty, there were systematic problems with the program. Students resorted to cheating on exams maybe because of the poor teaching. Kramer nursing program should be anyone's last option. If you are on the waiting list for other nursing school, just wait.Kualuwan Kurlawalee

I am extremely unimpressed with this college. While I had a great experience with my private violin instructor, I found the culture at OCU quite distasteful. I can’t speak for every department at the school, but the staff (and deans) at the School of Music are not very helpful and can sometimes be extremely disrespectful. OCU desperately needs to work on improving the experience for students and making them feel more welcome. OCU also gives very lousy financial aid compared to other colleges in the state. Frankly, the quality of the education and the service for students is not worth a tenth of the price. Would not recommend.Micaela “Mack Truck” Shaenys

I attended OCU for 2 major reasons. 1. OCU has an outstanding science curriculum and medical school acceptance rate. 2. OCU is known around the globe for excellence in performing arts. I loved OCU because I was able to continue double bass studies with the amazing Dr. Schimek and to earn a great scientific education at a liberal arts university. I Highly Recommend OCU!austin powers

My Son and I have been up do OCCC many times over 2 months speaking to each department, taking tests, providing income verification, signing form after form. Provided them with 16-17 FASFA approval and 18-19 FASFA approval and have told them from day 1 that the EMT course is what he will be taking, we also provided Fasfa application with OCCC as the school and the Emt being the class. He was approved for 5900. and the cost is something around 2500. I took 2 days off of work using my vacation hours to get this completed. We enrolled him into the course and got his ID and he has a required pre class mid May he must go to for more details on uniforms or material needed for course. I am him mother they have just as much info about me as him due to him living at home still but have emailed my son yesterday a month after enrolling and testing and such and advised him they spoke to director and Fasfa doesn't cover this course!! So I called the Financial Aid office and they refused to speak to me with out my sons authorization are you kidding me but they want me to be responsable and provide income verification for my SON to get inrolled but refuse to speak to me about his FASFA?? So I asked them if it was FASFA or them that decided 2 months later that the course he was taking from day 1 wasn't elegable for FASFA and the lady told me that it was up to FASFA!! So I called Fasfa to confirm this info that OCCC financial aid had advised me and spoke to a young lady that informed me this is grant money and the final decision is up to the school not to FASFA… so I was lied to waisted my vacation hours and time enrolling my son for them to decide after we were in that office 2days speaking to each department and NO ONE COULD TELL US THAT THEN??? This is BS I am a single mom of 3 we got qualified for FASFA for a reason due to low income but Occc want to run us through the ringerMelody Curtis

After several consultations as a transfer student with 60 credits geared towards nursing bachelors and some general education courses I was assured by my unofficial transcripts that I only need 2 more classes for the RN program. The day of classes I was advised that I would need another 2 classes. Completing 8 weeks I was then informed I would need another 2 classes. That’s 6 more classes when advised I only needed 2. My financial aid will not cover all of these additional courses along with the previous accumulated transferred courses. I was SCAMMED. This university SCAMMED me into more courses. I would advise anyone to make sure everything said to be in writing and record all phone conversations so you could report them to the government as a victim like myself. The chemistry course was misleading and my ebooks were delayed past assignment dates and no extra credit given or opportunity to do the assignment once the learning material is actually available. Everyone’s experience is different and mine is unfortunate. At the rate of added courses I think a bachelors is the best move and would have never ever wasted my hard earned money and time away from family for this. I had 3 advisors and each one had something different to say about what is needed. Now the courses I’ve taken is wasted and useless. I shouldn’t have to pay for them.Jay Cop

There processing people could use a brush up. Campus is a little confusing. Records has some really kind people working behind those counter tops. Hats off to that department as well as admissions for all their hard efforts. Gotta commend the disabilities department for their mission to its disabled population there at OCCC for aiding those with challenges to each individual’s needs.Jason Golden
