15 Best Absn Programs In Las Vegas, NV (2022 Updated)

It's so sad to say but the speech department is a hot mess right now. There are really good teachers, but there's also really horrible teachers. I wanted to love this school because it's the only school here in Las Vegas that offers a degree in speech pathology. But after having terrible teachers like Christy Fleck, I feel like dropping out. It's not even that the material is hard, it's that the instructor herself does not know how to teach. How can you succeed in a school where the instructors put information on tests that aren't covered in the textbook, class, or modules? How can you succeed in school and learn from your mistakes when professors don't give you feedback on assignments until LITERALLY the last day of school, and have assignments that build off of each other. I want to love this school because there are really great teachers here, but the horrible teachers really mess it up for everyone else. This school has a lot of organization issues and have corruption issues; they all cover each others butts. They don't look for the student's best interests and that to me is enough to not want to come here anymore.Addhiliz Londono

Nevada State College makes me feel welcome. Although relaxed and open, the long term goal seems to be prevalent in everyone's mind: to help the students grow, and by extension the school. There are always opportunities to be had, and there are great people willing to guide you to them as long as you seek them. I'm so glad I get to be here and be one of the people to play a tiny role in the future of an institution that shows great promise. I can't wait to see what the future brings!Melanie Croft

Nevada State College has been a great school to me. It's a growing school so we may not have all the amenities a big university does, but we are getting there. The professors are great and approachable so long as the student is willing to learn. Be warned, it is competitive, especially those who plan on entering the nursing program. Its a competitive industry and can you blame them if they want to weed out those that do not have what it takes to succeed in the program?Diana Kuan

ASBN Nursing Accelerated BSN Program (16 months): The Truth. There are no lectures, just tests. They tell you to buy a ton of books, give you slides with audio in place of lectures (and some of them are pretty bad where the speaker doesn't speak English well or is reading from a book). Pros: They have a "block" system which is fast paced, and you only have to go on campus roughly 25% of the time for tests, labs, or reviews a couple of days before the test. Most courses work like this: you get a 50 page syllabus and are told to read 25-30 chapters (essentially like 2 text books in total) and the tests really don't stick to what the syllabus says they are testing on. This creates students to have test anxiety and not know what to study until 2 days before the test; which they cram and have to pass with a 90%. Pro: they say you need 90% on exams, but you get a couple of chances to retake it (also you get group exams that give you 3-4 percentage boosts when you take the group tests. Pro: some of the instructors are great, but some are absolute garbage–hit or miss. Pro: It's a decent price, and the facilities are decent, but the financial aid people never give you straight answers–it's about $65K for the whole program. Don't get caught up in the confusing price sheets they give you. Cons: the Clinical rotations schedules are always late, and the Clinical Department that arranges the schedule is constantly loosing your paperwork for immunizations and physicals. Don't think they are considerate with your time as you literally find out 7-10 days prior to having to work 12 hour shifts at hospitals across town. The recruiters are absolute and complete liars. They get paid to get you to enroll so they will lie and say anything to get you to attend. They say this program is manageable for people who work–no way unless you have a flexible schedule at the last minute. Second BIG CON: you do not receive grades!!! When you graduate good luck getting into an NP program with transcripts that say Pass/Fail; they claim to give you a letter to compensate for that, but some grad schools will not accept it. Hit or miss is the labs there too; sometimes they teach practices that you find out are never used or out of date. Another big CON: bragging about the NCLEX pass rates is a complete fraud, as they won't let you graduate to take the NCLEX unless you pass the ATI exam with 90%. That ensures their numbers are high. The support system there is an absolute joke too; they lock their doors to the instructors offices and it's a "CLOSED DOOR" program. They act like students have plague. Good program if you can read from books and learn yourself.Arnell Cornfelt

(For Reference: I am a nontraditional student, and currently enrolled in the program.) This program is an amazing experience. I highly recommend it to any potential future students. Roseman University does everything in their power to set you up for success. The university guides the student through their program with the help from the faculty, current students, and alumni. By utilizing all three resources, Roseman University manages to adapt and continually grow. The faculty go out of their way to make sure they are available for the students. Many of the faculty stay way past office hours to answer questions during the blocks they teach. Also, the faculty become your mentors throughout the program. They are there to answer any question, and help direct you for what comes after Roseman. I am consistently in contact with my mentor. Having a mentor is hands down my favorite part of Roseman University. Roseman University encourages the students to learn for each other. From day one, Roseman gathers the individual strengths of each student to make well rounded teams. The teams do not compete against each other. The teams are there to help teach and guide each other. Plus, who doesn't like an automatic built-in study group? You will also have opportunity to work side by side with some of the alumni during your rotations. Many alumni still live and work in Las Vegas. They will know exactly what you are going through, and will offer you great advice. Overall, if you are looking for a great university to continue your path in Pharmacy….I can't think of many better than Roseman University.Cory Wages

My advice STAY AWAY! This school pretends to care about quality but the results are very poor. Don't believe me, ask around….anyone who gets treatment here is often told they will complete treatment in 2 years but it always goes on for 3 or more. Once you are that far in you are almost trapped and to go to another orthodontist to get your kids treated correctly will cost you double. They don't offer you any refund for giving your child poor care. My child was in treatment there for over 4 years and in the end I told them to take the braces off because we were burnt out so after all that time he still didn't get the smile that we were promised. I went to another "real" orthodontist, not a "student" and found out that we would need another year or more to fix everything they had not fixed. Don't buy into the fact that their fee's are low, you will be wasting your time and money.Micheal Marchesi

I just started my first semester of school and I will update to keep my review true to the stars I give. I never finished college when I was supposed to, 20 years ago, so now I’m back! It was hard looking for schools that would take me and my grades. There aren’t too many nursing schools in the Vegas Valley but I talked to a lot of them. They told me I would have to retake my classes, and/or take more classes before they would even let me in. I figured it would be an extra 1-3 years before I even got into their programs and I didn’t know what to take first and in which order to take them. Everything was so confusing! So I am glad that AZ accepted me in (with my HS GPA). Bruce was amazing and he made things easy in bringing me into the college! Ask for him if you’re interested in applying here. It’s a fairly new college to the Las Vegas area. The staff seem to like each other, laugh with each other and enjoy what they do. I love that. Who wants to go to school and learn from staff that hate what they do. Although for the first part of Nursing School we are in actual class for 2 or 3 days a week, it is a FULL time course. In orientation I heard people saying that they were going to work full time. I also heard that by the time you get to the Core classes, there aren’t as many students left. AZ has a high expectation where you have to get at least a B average in certain classes to get into Core. So I don’t believe that trying to go to an accelerated course like this, although “2-3 days a week” and working will work, thus the reason why people don’t make it into Core. You’ve got to put in 100% of yourself in studies. Also there are 2 ways Colleges and University’s get accredited. They are either regionally accredited or nationally accredited. So do your research before choosing a college. I chose this school because I don’t plan to move anywhere in the next 3 years. I want to stay in this school and I don’t plan to transfer out. As for the finance part of it, my military benefit of Post 9/11 covers the entire 3 years. I also applied for FASFA and I’m receiving an amount from them. It makes it so much easier to just concentrate on school!Flordeliza Sia

Arizona College Of Nursing would be best described as a school that only cares about getting money from students. Alex Chang is an advisor who will probably only contact you when it’s good for him, which is probably 20% of the time. Catherine Chege seems like a chicken with her head cut off running around never knowing any correct information talking 1000 mph while giving you the incorrect information and not really caring about anything besides herself. This school has not only wasted my time but wasted my money, with endless lies and promises that at the last minute were taken away. Don’t think this is just a disgruntled student who couldn’t pass, I currently have a 4.0 I was promised to be able to start at a certain date and as the date approached, was told that I would have to wait a year to start my classes, like that was some gift from them to me. So condescending and disrespectful when I have been working myself to DEATH trying to get everything done so I could start core. As if anyone even cared. And to top that off I was told directly by Catherine that at least I only wasted a little bit of time. Yes a little bit of time, three semesters $3000 and taking classes only for this specific program. That sure sounds like just a little bit of time doesn’t it? My so-called advisor never even bothered to reach back out to me because well why would he if they weren’t going to get my money. I would advise before thinking about this school, honestly just teach yourself to be a nurse before You even ever apply— you would probably get much further. They are t worried about supporting nurses they just need to make sure you can afford that $717/ credit hr. Unless you want to waste your time money and mental health go anywhere else but here. I guess they thought ignoring me would make the situation go away but I’ll be letting everyone know EXACTLY how this school operates until I can’t find anymore review sites. If you don’t want to respond to me professionally, then I’ll just allow everyone to know the details of personally. Don’t bother contacting me now either, it’s too late. You’ve made your decisions and now I’m making mine.Sah J.

I have been at Arizona College for nearly a year now. My time that I have been here has been filled with many great memories and memorable experiences. Arizonas staff members and professors show their genuine role in leading a way for their students success and makes it known that they genuinely care for their students. Our leaders make or break a facility, and I'm grateful to have the ones we do at Arizona College of Nursing here in Las Vegas! Alex helped me begin my nursing journey. He was super helpful, and eager for me to get enrolled and made sure that I stayed on track, was patient with me, and supported me the full way. Alex in admissions if you're reading this, thank you for helping me start my dream being as passionate as you are about your job to help students like me!Lala Marie

Changing career paths as an adult is never easy and comes with a load of hesitation. I am so happy that I made the decision to inquire about the Radiography program at Pima. My initial interaction with career services and admissions left me feeling safe and confident that this program and school would be the key to my success in this industry. My admissions staff member was available to me through every step of the process, from enrollment to the positive interactions with her daily while on campus. There just aren’t enough words to express my gratitude to each member of the radiography program at Pima. Every one of them set the highest expectations during the interview process. So much so that I thought, "man, can I really do this?" The program is rigorous, but the expectations were clearly set from the start. The Program Director, Clinical Director, and instructors became family. They were hard on us, not only because they cared about our individual successes, but also because they take pride in producing quality techs who enter the field of Radiology. Like family, they provide support, cheer us on, and lift us up when things get rough. They make sure "every day is a Radiology day," and they inspire. Hands down, this school and program were the best decisions I’ve ever made.a ova

Hands down best experience I have had. I completed the MA program in 2019 which was a wonderful atmosphere and I learned so much. I went on to the Radiography program where all the instructors fought for our education during the pandemic. They did everything in their power to make sure we received a proper education and were able to graduate on time. Sure enough we just graduated! Even with a family the program managed to make it all work. Our program director made sure we stayed on track every minute of the way. And our clinical director always made sure we had a clinical site to go to that we could learn at. I gained the best experiences at every site I went to and now have a job as guaranteed. This program has taught me so many things that I will take with me through my career. Thank you Pima and all the instructors in this program for everything!Alexis Nolasco

I graduated Pima from the rad program in 2016. My experience was wonderful even though I had a background in Radiography from finishing the school in the Army, but never pursue to get licensed. As a student at Pima, I learned so much from the staff who really showed they cared about getting you through the program and having success in the field. The campus was cleaned and maintained. I would recommend anyone I feel is a fit for the rad program to attend Pima. To this day I'm able to contact any rad program instructor including the program director for any advice or job inquiring and they'll be happy to assist me.george walker

Open availability. Easy, seamless sign-up online. Convenient e-reminder. Google Map directions did not disappoint. Warmest, genuine welcome by the receptionist/front desk. Clean wash room. Informative and entertaining class by Brandon. He/the company even offered hair-ties to students – very thoughtful. Further, he genuinely cared about the success of his students. eCard delivered practically instantaneously upon class completion. Absolutely recommend.Mykel Anderson

Second time taking CPR class there with Brandon. He's engaging, has a great sense of humor and takes time to ask all students if there is anything they need him to review before he continues on with the class. I'd rather go there and pay the fee then do the class at work for free. I highly recommend this location .Bridge K

I have done my recertification classes here a few times. The staff is always very accomadating and the teachers are knowledgeable and able to apply real life scenarios and make the class succinct and effective as well as show their personalities which make the class more enjoyable!Rochelle Read

stay away!! This university was student oriented back when I began in 2015. This has dramatically changed and they make it as difficult as possible for the student to achieve the degree. I am a 3.98 average student, so it is not the course work that is difficult, it is dealing with getting things done as far as practicum and finance. These people are a nightmare to deal with. Save yourself some aggravation and go to a different school.Richard Cipollino

Had really great meetings here. CCNE Accreditation’s And Regionally Accredited! Definitely will consider them in the future. Only reason I went somewhere else is because the other school offers night classes prior to the Nursing Core program. Chamberlain does not. Sooooo many people I know would have went here but again NO night classes. Hopefully that changes real soon!Aloha Vida

Chamberlain College of Nursing has absolutely fantastic professors and they genuinely care about your progress in the program. I would recommend it to anyone. The reasoning for my lack of a 5-star review is due to the fact that it is still a new school and many developments are underway for improvement. I am so happy I attended this school for my BSN.Alexandra Msaddi

This is how far out my truck sticks even when it's kissing the pillar behind it. School would rather give 6 million dollars to its basketball coach rather than use it repaint larger spaces in their parking garage and to build another parking garage to include more parking. Must pay to do homework online. No one available to answer phones at any department ever. Staff is poorly trained, unprofessional, and not knowledgeable about their departments. Arrogant teachers who will yell at you for something as simple as using your phone. Counselors are always backed up for a month, which could be fixed yet again by redirecting funds, but that doesn't make money… I could go on and on, but I will end with that this is the least accommodating and most poorly run business I've ever paid for. They treat the students like they only want their money, but then don't even treat them like real customers. The only saving grace this school has is that it's clean. Would transfer if I had the money to. EDIT: Had to change my rating to one star after the campus decided to start citing students for lack of parking permits early this year without notification. Seriously, they have the time to spam us with these stupid Rebel News articles every week, but not enough time to send an email about something that actually matters? They will find any reason to charge you extra fees as long as it makes them money. WORST BUSINESS IN THE CITY!Natalie Lam

Was able to get my covid-19 vaccine shot here. The staff and volunteers did an excellent job of moving people through the line quick and efficiently. The setup was planned out very well so that everything just naturally flowed through the student union building. There was plenty of parking available as well. Everything was by appointment only so be sure to set that up before you go. My appointment was at 1:30 and I was done and back on the road by 1:55 and that is with a mandatory 15 minuet wait where they have you just sit to make sure that you don't have an adverse reaction to the vaccine. I definitely recommend getting your shot here if you are eligible.Wayne Davies

I love being a patient here. I never have to wait longer than 10 min or so in the waiting room. It's a very clean place with great service. My doctor always lets me know what is going to be done during my visits and gets it done fast and efficient. They let you know how to properly care for your teeth. I would recommend being a patient at the UNLV dental clinic. Great experience.Amallely Gutierrez

You get what you pay for (sometimes) I've attended this school for most of my adult life (over 10 years). I've experienced good professors and I've experienced lazy ones. I've experienced passionate professors and I've experienced halfhearted ones. All being said, enrolling as a business major for my first degree, I remember professors like Mr. Raiford. Then I remember my passionate political science teacher (who will go unnamed) teach the class in his prospective of a "blue, progressive" manner. Challenging him whenever he injected his personal believes and became part of the discussion. He didn't like me correcting him about the Federal Reserve putting "in god we trust" on our currency. He tried to telling the class that government was responsible but I quickly corrected him by stating it was a private entity and by doing so they could put whatever they wanted on there. The school can be a great place to learn. I've witnessed other online schools pass students on poor work. I can appreciate the education I've received here and I will always carry that knowledge moving forward. I don't think CSN has a strong social community, nor does it have a strong leadership presence. I would recommend to my friends and family to attend CSN as a stepping stone. It can be less expensive as going straight into a University.Family Auto LLC

First, I've been attending CSN classes for 2+ years, online and in person, and I'm telling you it's all in the professors you pick. Most are really genuinely nice and will cut you some slack: (Round your grade, let you retake a missing test, offer you extra-credit, drop your lowest grade, etc) I so far, have benefited tremendously from Financial Aid; it help pays all my classes. I am doing full-time, majoring in Business, likely will be returning for in-person learning in the Fall. They have a Starbucks!! Had both of my vaccines shot done. And met cool and awesome club people there who I still hangout with to this day. This review is based on my personal experience, results may vary… and best of luck. Edit: Also don't take Biology Lab in person, just don't. Take it online, it's much more easier.Miss Moonlight

My experience so far with this college; I find this college staff/teacher not sensitive nor do they understand ADA compliance nor equipped with knowledge to address people accommodations at the school! I wouldn't recommend this School if you have a disability!angel above

On that day of November 12, 2021 I was scheduled for finger printing and I totally forgot my appointment time so I went to their office early morning. When I got there, two female staff were there by the window and one of them told me to write my name in the appointment log. I was not done yet on the log list the same lady came to me and asked the purpose of my visit, I said finger printing but I forgot the time. She checked the appointment list and she said its on 3:00 pm. then I said Ill come back and then she said No, I can do it now and she fixed everything. The bottom line is: They are very helpful and this Female Staff was Nice and has patience too. I did not get a chance to ask her name, She had eye glasses on and nice smiles and with pleasing personality. Thank you to that Person for accomodating me and made my time worth it. Antonio Eric E.

They make it difficult to practice nursing in the State of Nevada. We all take the same NCLEX, it shouldn't be so much work to obtain another states license. I have had my RN license in 4 different states, and Nevada is my least favorite to obtain and renew. Their website needs so much work, and the entire process needs an overhaul. You would think you'd want to make it easy and attractive for nurses to come work in your state, not extremely difficult. Don't get me wrong, pretty much all state boards of nursing are this way; its a systemic problem. But Nevada is particularly bad. If your a nurse and are considering work in Nevada, consider elsewhere, because dealing with the Nevada State Board of Nursing makes whatever that hospital is paying you NOT worth it.James Seely

If there if half star I would select that they are not worth even one star. We all know during coronavirus pandemic. I dropped of my finger print card. No customer service at all. Very rude. Her name is KARINA. I hope I don’t need to come here againDiamond23

I visited the Henderson facility but the classes I wanted wasn’t offered there so they referred me over to this campus. I was told I did not need an appointment with anybody to gather the information that I needed so that I could make a decision about attending school once more. I drove 25 miles to this campus…upon entering the school I was impressed by the cleanliness and the modernity of its buildings. Sad to say this is where the the fancy ends. I went straight to the information desk to ask where I could find the information. after fumbling about for 5 minutes, the student working behind plexiglass nervously hands me a stick it note. Written on the note was a phone number she insisted I call instead. I thought to myself how strange this is. I was expecting directions to an actual person or office and not a darn phone number I could have looked up myself without driving 25 miles. I walked a way from the clueless information desk to find answers on my own. I was eventually directed to student recruitment and got to speak to a guy named David. David turned out to be more clueless than the information desk lady. The guy sat down on his desk, flipped his pc monitor so I could see, and fumbled through his own colleges’ website. I don’t think he even knew how to spell the name of the program I was looking to get information from. Alas he gives me another phone number on another post it. I left without any more information about the degree I wanted. Absolutely none! For an institution that is supposed to offer higher education, these employees should be embarrassed about themselves. I will not be attending this school, nor would I recommend to anybody seeking to further educate themselves. Shame!Paul P

It’s an okay school. The class sizes are small no more than 50 people. Campuses are large, clean and really quiet which is great for studying, but the social scene is nonexistent. Everyone has different schedules which makes it difficult to network and make friends. I love that parking is free and abundant! Professors are ok, but there were a couple I found to be unapproachable and rude. One of my recent instructors, an older woman, would always stare me up and down like she was insecure or something lol. The staff in general just seems like they hate their life. I didn’t have problems with financial aid until my last semester. I think they’re doing some illegal activities now such as hoarding our grants. I was supposed to get the recent HEERF grant when I was one of the first to apply and accept it but never received it. They also tried to reduce my federal pell grant when I qualify for the full amount. UNLV offered me the full pell grant amount so IDK why they lowered mine when it should be consistent no matter what school you decide to go to. I’d recommend getting your associates here and then transfer to UNLV to save. UNLV has a more upbeat, friendly vibe. Make sure to be pushy with financial aid because they will try to shorthand you.B

I was just there on Monday, I was told a lot of misinformation. I’m considered and out-of-state student.I spoke to a financial advisor and he seemed nice, he saw on my profile that I owe $5000 in balances.. he doesn’t say a word. I finally see financial aid and they also fail to tell me that I owe money. I finally see the cashiers desk and then it’s printed on my paper that I owe a balance, me being confused I didn’t understand why. The lady at the cashier desk awkwardly told me to see financial aid and ask them. I do that and the woman who I spoke to the first time told me that I won’t be getting a refund . AFTER SHE JUST LIED TO ME BECAUSE I SAW THE SAME WOMAN IN THE FINANCIAL AID LINE. Unfortunately I just couldn’t pay for classes so I had to drop them. Very disappointed!! Just to note I was approved a pell grant but it wasn’t enough. I would’ve had a balance of $3000 to pay off.Kay Kay

Fantastic preschool! Awesome teachers and great facility. The teachers take special interest in each individual kid and fully prepare them for Kindergarten. I graduated from here in 2005 and I LOVED coming here! I have so many happy memories of this place that brings back nostalgia. I personally would want to send my future children here!Ryan Emery

Excellent preschool program. The entire staff was truly caring and devoted to early childhood education. Great choice for a preschool.Luis Pierrott

Parking isn't always great…but it is what it is. All best colleges have an awful parking system. I suggest to be there early or to have a different schedule; most students chooses classes starting 9 am, and the parking may be full until 3-4 afternoon (unless you go around in circle and get lucky). Classes at 8 am aren't so awful even for a morning person, it will save you a lot of time (unless you work). P.S In Fall semester (when winter comes), it can get really dark at 5 pm, and there is not so much light provided.Ariel

Not really good for the older professionals or military veterans who has families. Lacking a variation of academic choices. Better off going to CSU or UNLV.Chad LeMons
