20 Best Absn Programs In Orlando, FL (2022 Updated)

I was referred here by a close friend who is studying at the school for dentistry. The entire experience was great! From the moment I walked in, everybody had a smiling, friendly face. The initial examination was quick and thorough. The pricing is fantastic, and the instructors that guide the students are very knowledgeable and helpful. Everything is very professional and clean. It is a very nice building, and you can tell they have all the best and newest equipment on hand. Even the ceiling tiles are fun while you’re laying in the chair, as they have animal prints engraved in them and other fun things going on! I highly recommend checking it out. It will help a student that is studying dentistry, and you will be given fantastic here at a fantastic price!Raymond Bobrowiecki

Good god, just let us use our email in an outlook application. We already have the other o365 tools. Having to access emails through the site is inefficient and we aren't notified of an incoming email unless we're actively checking. Also, the school's application no longer works. I'm not the only one. Read the reviews. Please use the "technology fees and other silly fees that we pay for something useful or please provide a refund. Reply: the pulse app is terrible and still does not notify of incoming emails. It doesn't display well at all. Please just use the technology fee we pay for, for some email licenses in o365.Heather De La Cruz

I have to say that the campus itself looks very well maintained and is enormous. I visited this location for training that deals with my current career. As a individual who has never visited this campus before I think my biggest and only complaint is that there is not enough signage to tell you where to go. Which is really annoying since I never been there before. My instructors were amazing and exceptional in what they do (kept it real) and had really good stories that made class go by pretty fast. Personally just a little too big for me but I hate crowds so ehh could just be my inverted mentality telling me to run.NW TCG

Rollins is truly such a special place! There are plenty of opportunities to get involved on campus and become a leader, engage in research and service opportunities, and work on campus. The professors at Rollins are truly exceptional and deeply care about each one of their students. The education I received at Rollins better prepared me for the next step in my career path. I am so grateful!Jessica Gonzalez

One of the most precious universities with such a unique environment. Since the day I toured the place I knew how special this college is. Awesome professors which are available to help at all times, good food served and nice organizational structure.Adriana Hudkins

the views and places you can go on campus is breath-taking by itself. there's nice valley-walks you can take, and the people there are oh, so nice! I'm in LOVE with Rollins College, and congrats to the people who graduated on sunday!Jordan-Skyy Evans

I have had an amazing experience with Herzing University! I am excelling in my degree choice and I couldn't be more satisfied with my learning experience and the flexibility that the online program gives me.The instructors are all willing to help whenever I have a question, and if they see many students struggling with something, they will post an announcement with some helpful tips on how to proceed through our courses. The learning material is easy to understand, the discussion boards really help me connect with my classmates more than I normally would, the library is full of everything you might need for your studies, and the Coach rooms and Tutoring center are very helpful! I have seen many posts off and on about how students struggled in this school. I have to say the most common thing I see students struggling from in these courses is not doing the assigned work on time, not participating in the discussions, and not following the assigned directions on assignments. We have to take responsibility and do our work (on time!) or we will not succeed, and we should not blame someone else for our lack of trying. Just with everything else in life, if you do not put any effort into something, you will not gain anything from it. Overall, if you need a great school, with a good price, amazing learning experiences, and great instructors, then Herzing is the way to go!Kohake Family Shared

I stared with Herzing back in 2013 for my undergrad BSN RN. At that time, school was still establishing itself, therefore, I had some rough time getting through the program, but overall my experience was good. This year I came back for my MSN FNP and let me tell you ))) My experience with Herzing in 2019 is absolutely amazing. This school grew so much! Lots of support, any time you need it, everyone is very attentive and friendly. You still have to do a lots of studying, but isn't what we came here for? I'm beyond satisfied, thank you Herzing faculty and staff, you're the best!KateM M

This University is so awesome. I am in my 3rd semester and am grateful for the progress I am making. I even made the Dean's list! The instructors are active, involved, and try helping you succeed every way they can. I am super excited about where this will take me in my near future. I really enjoy the online learning experience and I'm so happy with the decision I've made.Jasmine Coleman

This University is not a safe place to send your child if you care about them and their safety. I spent two semesters living on campus, my freshman year and they were the worst months of my life; communal bathrooms are not clean, things are broken often and do not get fixed, and security cameras are few and far between. The campus itself is not in a good neighborhood, which is a common fear of most people. Administration has done nothing to make the campus safer, there are not any cameras in parking lots, the cameras in the municipal parking garage do not work, and people are able to walk on to campus even if they do not attend the school. Young children steal student's bikes in broad daylight and grown adults walk onto the campus as well. The cafeteria food is not good and the staff is 99.9% of the time very rude, and you may get a plate of food thrown at you even if you are polite. I have witnessed people be served raw chicken, romaine lettuce when there was an E. coli outbreak, and also contract E. coli. The Bursar's office constantly removed and added money to my account saying one day I owed X amount of dollars and then one day I owed Y amount of dollars, and whenever I asked why my balance fluctuated during the semester, they had no answer. Financial aid is not easy to deal with especially if your family makes a mid-range income. If you household income is low or very high, do not expect to pay a lot per year. The social environment is like high school: judgmental and everyone stays in their own "clique" The only reason I will give this "university" a 2-star review is because the professor's do care about you and your success. They will work with you, and help you when need be. Every professor I had only wanted their students to succeed, and nothing else (with the exception of a woman who just had graduated from college and did not know the subject which she was teaching).Ashlynne Donovan

This school is one of the best veteran friendly schools in the U.S. currently we are in the top 100, we even have our own USO sponsored lounge called the defenders den where we can be around fellow veterans. The classes here are incredible and the professors genuinely care and thrive off interaction. You will not become another gear in the chain at this university, also the campus even though small is absolutely gorgeous. I’ve been to other schools and I am sincerely proud to finish my degree at an institution that values their Veteran population.Kostantinos Efstathiou

The worst school ever! I did a year at JU and lived on campus! there is nothing to do! You will be bored out of your mind if you are from the north. The staff was unhelpful, and forget about getting any extra financial help. I come from a one parent house hold and my mom lost her job I went into the aid office to see if they can help me with any extra aid and all they could offer was goods from the food pantry. What a jokeAlexandria Wilson

Since they have instituted 6 sessions Columbia College has proven they are not about the students. By making this move they force students to take student loans or lose part of their Pell grant due to not being enrolled full time. They try telling their students that 6 sessions per year will benefit them. Being a student that is currently enrolled and have been for a few years now I can tell you it is of no good to the student. Not only does it cost us more but instead of having any type of break between already accelerated courses we only have two days off. This is ultimately going to lead to more stressed out students and lower GPA's. There was a time I recommended this College to everyone I came across. Now sadly I make it very clear Columbia College is the worst college you could attend. It is a joke. Rolla's new policy if we don't offer something you need in seat take it online. Not mentioning that not only are online courses significantly more expensive but the work that is required for these is beyond reason. I am talking at minimum double the workload of an in seat class. The teachers are great, administration from the main campus down is terrible. This is no longer a student centered college no matter what their website portrays.Sean Dahlman

I'm currently enrolled at CC. This is the best college I've ever been to. The faculty is understanding and very helpful. They actually care about your education. My advisor was by far the best. She helped me through some very tough decisions and helped me to make the best financial decisions. I visited the enrollment center 3 times to change classes due to my own reasons and all three times they were understanding, helpful, and encouraging. I also went to the enrollment services about my financial status multiple times throughout the year and they were always there to help. They showed me my financial plan exactly including scholarships, loans, and grants. They explained everything to where I could understand and even printed me copies of my plan. BEST COLLEGE containing the VERY BEST PEOPLE! The other reviews that had one star and rude comments, it's because of their stupidity and closed mindedness. This college is truly amazing and makes you feel apart of the community, on or off campus.Rebecca Brewer

I had a terrible experience at this school. I would highly recommend not going to this college. They do not care about how you as the student does. All they care a bout is your money. You will NEVER hear back from any of your online teachers. I tried emailing a teaching with a question 3 times and not once did I hear back from the teacher. If for any reason you need to withdrawal they will not except it. Even if you withdraw a day or 2 after the deadline, they will make you pay every cent, even if you had good reason for the withdrawal. If you want to attend a college that cares about your needs and your success I would highly recommend choosing a different college because the only thing they care about at this college is getting your money. I'm reading all of these other reviews and I had similar experiences. The service is absolutely terrible! I will never return here and never recommend this pathetic college to anyone.Brandon Moore

Got my B.S. here, and am finished with my coursework for my MBA, just waiting for grades to be posted. Saw some of the negative reviews…thought I'd chime in. Excellent School, especially for a Veteran like me. Well organized, and if you need support, ask for it, it will be there. Accreditation is not an issue. If they weren't accredited, they couldn't take the GI bill. I found a job with a Fortune 10 company, and they accepted my degree just like any other. Whoever said that in the review down there is wrong. Very well organized class structures, easy to navigate interface, and hell, they even send you the books for the class you register for- automatically and at no additional cost. Not once did they fail to do that. Professors normally have a PHD or other terminal degree. Took a lot of classes, only had issues with one of them, and she's gone. Some were absolutely awesome. That said, it's adult learning. Not everyone gets an A on everything. Do the work, get the grade you earned based on the syllabus and rubric for that assignment…it's not complicated. I apply the things I learned in my classes to my work as a project manager. The direct relevance of the curriculum to today's business environment is outstanding. IF you are looking for a great online school, especially as a Veteran, this is the place.Bo Scott

ZERO STARS. Fun story…I hurried to get my credentials in, my post 9/11 GI Bill eligibility letter, etc to be enrolled, for less than a week. To my extreme dismay, as I had asked the appropriate advisor multiple times, my VA benefits were NOT fully given to me. The school will tell you that taking their 2 class maximum is considered “full time” status for you veterans out there, don’t let them fool you. You deserve every penny for your time served. To add to that, 1 of the 3 assignments I turned in before kicking this place to the curb, was graded on a persona level…meaning, I responded to what the assignment(discussion board) asked, yet because apparently my professor didn’t like my answer on a personal level, I was given less than a 100. It was a personal belief question and asking other students what made them join the class…who does that? How do you get an 87% on a pass/fail discussion board? Don’t let me review sway you. Do your own research and enroll if you like. If you are a veteran, continue your search elsewhere brothers and sisters. They just want you for the VA payments.Brandon Morton

Enjoyed the coursework – currently working on my MBA – until I reached the Business Ethics course. I am a college instructor and have several other degrees and went from making an A on every single assignment throughout the entire program to barely passing the Business Ethics course due to the instructor. He grades on pieces he doesn't ask for in the rubric and even has the gall to announce to the class that "we should not take offense to his grading". I fully agree with many of my classmates and several other people that have commented here that it's not the best option when choosing schools. There's a reason they schedule you to have this course at the very end when graduation is approaching – if you had this instructor first – no one would continue spending the money to attend the school.Amber Wolf

I never had a chance to visit barry university before enrolling and I wound up not liking the area. The area outside of it is very ghetto and the dorms are smaller than what is shown on the layout online. I didn't feel safe in the general area so I withdrew from the university during the grace period where I should've gotten a 100% refund on classes and an 80% refund on housing. It's been almost two months since I signed and dated the form where I only agreed on paying 20% for housing and 0% for classes. I had not gone to any classes and now I am moved out and enrolled in a different college. I am still being given hell on this process where they were only responsible for calculating the 20% on housing that I owed and signing a withdrawal form. It's taken them two months to do these simple tasks that should've been made a priority and I was told it would be. I am now being billed for $7,050 for classes. For what classes? I hadn't gone to any and withdrew during the grace period. I have copies of my withdrawal form stating what I signed for and printed copies of the official website stating the corresponding dates and percentages for refunds and billing. They are now either going to resolve this issue right away or I will be in the process of sueing the university. This is ridiculous. The only person I can say actually had done their job was my academic advisor who also agreed that this process has been a ridiculous money scam.Miranda Moran

What can I say: I love Barry. Even though I live way up here in Jax, I commuted down there for classes once a month. It was worth it to me. I’m in the PhD nursing program and I can say it really changed my life. Dr. Jessie Colin, who is also my chair, is the most intelligent and remarkable person I have ever met. The 5 stars is for her and how she is running the doctoral program. Thank you Dr. Colin! The rest of the nursing faculty are also wonderful. Lovely women (too many to name). I’m so glad I made the decision to come to this school. I’ve learned so much that this post would be too long to describe it all! It’s an intellectually challenging program, so be ready to learn. This school in general really focuses on social justice. If you are not open minded to multi-culturalism and discovering new ways of thinking outside of the norm, this may not be the school for you. I tell people this because I know how the culture is in America today (ignorance is bliss). You have to accept to live the ‘Barry Life’, which is being open to culture and seeking justice for those whose voices might go unheard. Like some say on other reviews, yes, the area in which the school is in is kinda sketchy. And be prepared, the student parking is awful. The biggest parking lot is a couple blocks away and you have to take a shuttle to get to the campus. It’s a small campus but quite beautiful.904 CZV

Barry University is the worst. I was enrolled for one semester in 2013. The way the school system is set up is terrible. NO ONE is on the same page, rarely will credits transfer, teachers do not truly care or seemed interested in making personal relationships (mind you this is a PRIVATE college), and lastly…getting your transcripts sent to other colleges is the HARDEST. They go through different programs like "Transcripts on Demand" so there's no help from Barry because they don't even know whats going on in the transcript process. They just buy some company to come handle all of their students and transcripts for them. My transcripts are now late being sent to two different colleges and its been over a month since I sent my consent form (since when do you need a consent form to sent transcripts…usually you pay a fee and that's that). Thank you Barry for giving us kids the BEST education and care a private college could! NOTBrittany Hallet

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 furthered and completed my education at City College. I achieved my Associates Degree in Paralegal / Legal Assisting in 2017 and took a year off and now I am one Semester away from achieving my Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration with a focus in Project Management! I have been able to utilize every resource offered by City College. First off it’s like a place of refuge where I not only go to learn but get away from life. The Professors are always willing to give freely of their time to assist in achieving my goals. Career Services door is always opened, it’s through their highly recommended services that I obtained my current job as a Trial Specialist II. Furthermore, when I was seeking a promotion I went back for a mock interview and help with updating my resume, they are always ready, will, and, able to help. Financial aid stays on top of budgeting out the money to make it all possible. My peers are in bearable age range, not too young, and not too old. We as a student body in my classes worked to achieve our same achievements. I have made some people here at City College that will remain my friends forever. My last and final goal would be to become an Ambassador but seems a little more challenging for students in the evening class program. I have been trying to be an Ambassador during my Associates years but to no avail. I will keep trying! Go for it, give it your all, City College is the way to go!!!Yolanda Ried

If I could give this school 0 stars I would. This school is a joke. No one is on the same page when it comes to anything. They do not reach out to the students when there is an issue. The student only finds out when it is almost too late. If it wasn't for the fact that I am almost done with the program and Dr. Luka (One of the best things going for City College) I would have quit a long time ago. I am taking classes that does not make sense to me. The financial aid department is a joke. You speak to three different people and get three different answers. I hate coming to this school, but I am too far ahead. So many professors have come and gone. You are marked absent if you leave class early although they don't start on time due to the fact that you are waiting on students that arrive late. I am counting down the days until this is all over as I have had just about enough of this school. Everyone is so warm welcoming in the beginning but once you sign up and they meet there quota for attendance and seat filling, you are nothing to them. Take my advice and do your research before enrolling in any school especially City College.Valerie Pew

I entered City College not knowing what to expect. So today I can tell you I high recommend. City College a very humble environment. It makes you feel at home. I come from a very culturally diverse background and I feel like City College understands that. The faculty and admin staff were very committed to the success of each cohort and were very helpful each step of the way. There are so many interesting courses taught by amazing and qualified professors. The professors for the classes I have taken thus far have been pretty great overall with a thorough understanding of their subject and concern for student's success. Medical Assistant program is awesome. It is perfectly well conceived and easy to follow. As a good student you just need to follow the guide and your professors' advises. I consider I have learned a lot and improved my whole knowledge, not only about medical field but in general. The program is full of real-life scenarios that we discuss constantly with classmates and the professor. I really enjoy being a student at City CollegeFlavia Figueiredo

When I first started signing up for my MBA I advised them that I had just graduated with my bachelors degree. My goal was to start August 5, and I submitted all my necessary paperwork and cooperated as such. When it got to my transcripts I was advised I could not start because the conferral date was not on the transcripts. The enrollment specialist told me to reach out to my previous school. I did and it was a hassle. I called the enrollment specialist at Capella to advise of the updates to only find out that Capella’s registrar team had already been in contact with my school. I wanted to start on the 5th as it was very discouraging to go through the process to be turned away at last minute. 1). Total waist of time as I took time out of my day to complete orientation and do what they advised of me. 2) I asked to speak with a supervisor who was very vague and could not provide the information needed. 3) I again called Capella to try and escalate the situation, but the manager never returned my call. I feel as if they had me sign up because they were the ones to get paid for each student to enroll and failed to educate me properly in the beginning, which is very misleading and discouraging. Since no one wanted to comply and take responsibility I will be escalating this to the BBB as this is not my fault and I should had been able to start in the promised time given and should have been educated properly.Tearra McCray

The worst university ever! They made me waste my time and my money from the first day, every time I communicated with them each counselor told me something different, and more than a month passed and I did not have an accurate answer on the status of my application, after a month a person from human resources let me know that I had to do my transcripts equivalency again on another website because the one I had already sent twice to them waiting for they review it (and that they themselves told me it was okay to do it that way) was not valid for them to take me into account to start the course this past October. 1- First time the transcripts were not encrypted, so they asked my to ask the institution they send it again but encrypted this time and I did it and sent it again. And after that they let me know that didn’t work for them. So I wasted my time, my money and above all the opportunity to start on the desired date. A very bad job of the staff. Very bad communication with the students who want to start there, and they also contradict each other. They all say different things and waste your time. They are also very rude. I hope that no one has this bad experience, nor misses the opportunity to start the course on the date they planned, and due to the horrible work of other people you lose opportunities in life.Claudia Espinosa

From the beginning of my Master's level school search, Capella stood out. I had a great recommendation from a friend already, but in researching complete online programs to work with my schedule, Capella checked all of the boxes I needed. I had a wonderful experience with my admissions counselor and continue to have great interactions with all communication. I am happy with all faculty thus far and feel that I am learning exactly what I need for my future as a school counselor. The course load is what I expected it to be and the time I spend on classwork is time well spent. I feel very confident that I will be prepared to enter the field of school counseling when I graduate. The very first thing Capella does once you are enrolled is to start you in a class to help navigate your program and get you familiar with the online format. This helped immensely and calmed my nerves for entering into a graduate program online. I feel very well cared for and have not had a negative experience yet! I am 1 year into my program.Jenna Skophammer

THIS IS THE WORST SCHOOL IN HISTORY OF SCHOOLS!!! PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!! If I could give it zero stars I would. This has absolutely been the worst experience I have ever encountered for school. When you need help and try to reach out for assistance no one replies back to your phone calls nor emails. But some how, some way they know how to get in touch with you to get a payment every month! Forget about admission. They sit you down and tell you all these good things about the school and how long the program is for but forget to mention once your course is completed you still have to take an additional 5 week course to take your exit then your allowed to sit for your NCLEX! Oh and another thing. If you think for a second they'll let you see you grade for the exam forget about it. Once you take an exam it literally takes about 2 weeks of waiting to get your score, and if you wait on MS. Provost for your grade it will take at least 4 weeks and don't think about calling or emailing her. She's allergic to responding back to people. When asked if you can see what you got wrong she will say "wE aReNt aLlOwEd tO sHoW yOu yOuR eXam, yOuR tEsT iS pRiVaTe" like huh?? IT'S MINES! So what they do is give you the top 5 question majority of the class got wrong and that's it. The reason why I passed was because I got a tutor and paid a lot of money for it. This school constantly changes it's rule to better themselves and get more money. I really wished I attended another school because the way they do things here is ridiculous!!!! The only class where I enjoyed learning and the teachers were amazing and really cared about us understanding the course was Mr. Ramdat (mental health) and Ms. Molina (ob/peds). They should teach at universities not this place.Moriah Long

I had the opportunity to attend the school for my LPN and RN. The LPN program I will give them a 3/5. The RN program a 2/5. The school is not consistent in anything. They give out term schedules the day prior and then the day the term starts it’s been changed but no one has up dated the online schedule or informed students. Forget ever getting in contact with anyone at this school unless you owe them money, then all of a sudden the phone email etc work. 1/2 the teachers have DISGUSTING, UNPROFESSIONAL attitudes. Don’t even bother trying to follow your syllabus because “that’s just up there I don’t follow that I do my own thing”, as stated by an RN teacher. Or famous quote they love “WHEN YOU ARE A REAL NURSE……” in regards to the LPNs which is wow because most of us attended JC for the LPN so maybe we need our money back since we aren’t “REAL NURSEs”.. your classes will be from 7a-330/4p Mon-Fri.. they like to make a lot of comments about “you can’t pass my class if you are working”.. Every school has its good and bad but be aware of what you sign up for. The cost of this school is very high and you will have to pay for parking each term(it’s first come first serve and about 80+\- spots) or risk getting hit by a car walking if you live in NY add tolls and gas and when you have clinicals you may need to pay for parking. If you come here honestly I would only recommend there LPN program, it’s tolerable. But the RN if you choose to attend try to transfer in as many classes as you can and save up a lot of money prior to starting. Also practice holding your breath because a lot of these instructors are “Vile”N R

I can honestly say that I am super happy I chose Jersey College. They have a team of amazing instructors, that come in prepared to give you everything, all the resources you need to be successful in the program. I am honored to soon be a graduate. It took a lot of hard work, and studying but I could not have done it without the help of my theory and clinical instructors who came In to every class giving their best which made it that much easier for me to give mine. If I had to choose again I would pick Jersey College everytime.Georrina Lampley

I'd be very wary with this school. They don't pay the teachers for their full work. Instead ONLY pay them for the time they're with students and none of the prep. I don't know how this is legal, but it's robbing the students of an adequate education, and exploiting the teachers hard work. High turn over rate. The place is poorly run and managed. A lot of misinformation. The school lacks a lot of basic supplies to teach, and lacked even a first aid kit.Willie Garcia

I am the parent of a student. I am very disappointed in the graduation venue they chose for these students who have worked so hard. First off everyone is talking through the ceremony, the sound system horrible, and awful old school auditorium. How disrespectful to the students to provide such a venue. I'm angry, and hurting for these students. To pay the high price they skimped on the celebration. Embarrassing and shame on the school.Cindy Cooper

I went to the Nursing program here after being CNA for several years, attending the program and getting licensed was the best decision I have ever made. The professors and instructors were very supportive. Most of the students were very motivated, if you’re motivated to get it done this is the school to attend, less wait lists and less stressful pre-reqs requirements. Best of luck!Gamachis Achamyeleh

When I initially came into this school I wanted to eventually go into their graduate program. The admissions advisor told me that I would have a higher change if I got my undergrad there as well. So I did. I graduated with a 3.4, the teachers were amazing and then I go to apply for my graduate program. Due to covid the interview was over the phone. The gentleman that interviewed me asked me why I wanted to go into mental health and I explained to him how in the past I had a substance abuse problem (I wanted to be as honest as I could) because I had been saved and I felt like my purpose was to be a vessel of god and help others. The minute I said that to him he answered “I AM SORRY BUT I DONT KNOW HOW I WILL BE ABLE TO PRESENT YOU IN FRONT OF THE COMMITTEE” “MAYBE YOU SHOULD TAKE SOME TIME OFF”. He did finish the interview but weeks later I received a letter saying that I was denied admission to the school. I was already in the school, so I called and no one understood why I wasn’t accepted. My advisor was confused, my teachers and myself. When I asked why I wasn’t accepted so that I can work on it and fix it no one knew. They said the committee looks at different things and decides. I had classmates with lower GPAs that were admitted, I had one friend who had failed a class and was admitted and I wasn’t admitted simply because I have a past with mental health. I asked to email someone so I may get an answer as to why this happened. They didn’t even send me the proper letter stating I wasn’t accepted into the program. No one ever got back to me and honestly it shattered me because here I am paying 3 times the amount of a state university to be discriminated by my past. I truly worked hard for my grades.Mari Molina

I personally did not like the college. I decided to leave after one semester because I didn’t feel the Christian culture as I should have. They don’t cater to commuter students. And the professors that I had didn’t care if you learned or not. The people in student services were rude to me and it showed me their true colors. They are nice when they want you to apply and mean after you apply. They lie and say they have scholarships to offer you and then in the end you have to take out loans. They chose my classes because I was a freshman and I didn’t like most of my teachers. They also put me in the wrong math class and when I transferred out it took so long that I already miss majority of the work and had to drop the class altogether. I wouldn’t recommend this college at all. They were expensive for no reason. I also didn’t like that they force you to do community service. When offering to the community it should be our choice because it will be in good will and our own choice. But when you force us we aren’t going it because we want to but because we have to so that we can graduate.Brittnay Baxter

I was a first year student at PBAU, and I can say whole-heartedly, the WORST school to be in, very uptight people and community. I got scammed by getting a 10k grant and got stuck with owing the school WAY more then was suppose to. The administration never gets back to you, and the new president gives all her work off and doesn’t try to reach out to the students- even when asked. This school does not care about the students and is a SCAM.Autumn Pucino

I transferred here from another college and honestly it was the best decision I could have made for myself. Herzing works with many different aspects of my life. Specifically, the Kenosha campus although a bit of a drive from home, I absolutely love this place. The front desk staff always says hello when I walk in the door, the nursing staff has been so helpful and always willing to meet and help work with me. And honestly, I’m blown away by the administration (the campus president, the Dean of Nursing, and the Dean of Education). They are honestly what makes this University what it is. They always are there for you, door open, willing to listen and to be a resource/guide for you, to help you to work through issues your having. They may not be able to fix everything, but they sure do everything they can to make your experience amazing and memorable. They have made such a positive impact during my time here. I would definitely consider coming back to be an educator after I become more established in my career as a Registered Nurse. I’m grateful for my experience here and have definitely found my drive and passion to work hard in the nursing program. Nursing school is definitely not an easy journey but I couldn’t have done it without them, their resources, there passion for their students, and the preparation they have put me through!Rachel V

I am just starting my third semester at Herzing and I can't say enough about the Administration, Professors and staff. EVERYONE is there to help you succeed. It's a small school and because of this it's very comforting to walk down the halls and have staff know your name. I am meeting people and can tell I am going to have lasting friendships. It's a casual, but professional environment where you are a student, but treated like family. I am able to schedule classes when it's convenient for me and when life gets in the way, the staff is VERY willing to work with you so you don't get behind. Herzing was one of the best decisions I have made to better myself and my families future. Thank you Herzing!!!! Jeff, Erin, Kristin Thank you for giving me a chance and choosing me for a scholarship.Kari Jean

I decided to choose Herzing to learn Insurance Billing and Coding because they offered classes online, but here were also campuses close to my home. I wasn't sure if I could be successful in juggling my family, a stressful full time job and school. Herzing is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. My online advisor has been there to guide me through many questions. The online educators have been excellent as well. I also have to mention that there are Librarians, and Academic coaches all there to help achieve success! Someone is always there to help me! I started out just wanting a Diploma in Billing and Coding. I have enjoyed this so much, that I want to finish my Bachelor's degree I started over 30 yrs ago!ELIZABETH NEATHERY

The most unorganized, unprofessional, "learning institution" I have ever come across. There are a FEW instructors within the nursing program that really have a passion for teaching nursing students, but the rest, this is merely a second source of income for them. It is very rare that you'll receive an email back in regards to an issue you have and if you do happen to get an email back it's most likely going to be at least a week later. While the school may be accredited to be a learning institution, the nursing program is NOT accredited. Save your time and money. It's enticing because of the shorter amount of time it will take to receive your ADN, but it is not worth the headache nor the amount of money they charge. If you can swing it, go to another institution that will provide you with QUALITY education, even if that means it takes a little longer. I promise you will wish you would have done that in the beginning if you choose to attend this school. Pay attention to the negative reviews on this school – they speak truth.Nani Neamiah

I have completed my A.S. Degree in EMS and have had the most professional experience I’ve experienced. My classes were online and the professors were beyond helpful in class. Krystal Zimbaldi was a key component in my success with HCI. She has made my college experience amazing and has been by my side throughout the whole process. From the first day I called to join HCI to complete my degree, she has been the point of contact for all my questions and concerns. The fact that she constantly checks up on students to make sure they are updated with information and to see how their college experience is going is an amazing trait to have. HCI is truly blessed to have such an amazing asset for the college. Because of this I will recommend this college to all my friends and colleagues for all their educational needs.Joshua Wagner

I am in my 12th month of nursing school and I absolutely love this School and the Nursing program. I would recommend this school to anyone that needs to work while going to school. This school is very accommodating. The best thing that ever happened to this school was bringing Isabelle Ayers on board, she has been such a positive change for this school. It has come a long way in a short time. The entire staff including Irene from the EMS program is always so helpful in any way needed and willing to go above and beyond to help out. Irene always has a smile on her face and kind words to greet you daily and even though she is not our direct mentor she has been a positive influence in me enjoying my experience at HCI and always there for all students.Kellie Jenkins

I have nothing but great things to say about this college! From my very first interaction over the phone with Amy DiMartino, where I had expressed to her my concerns and dissatisfaction with a previous nursing school that I attended in Tampa. Amy, was very understanding, professional and addressed all of my concerns. She was quick with setting up an interview with me at the school and she was a great asset in my academic endeavor at Arizona college of nursing! With Amy’s help and the rest of the staff at AZC I was able to transfer 30+ credits, take 7 GED courses and progress into the Nursing Core program in just 6 months! These past few months at AZC have been the most influential and educational months of my life. It is a fast paced and challenging program, with only 8 week semesters! But trust me, you will learn so much in such little time and will be so happy you did it! I am so proud of myself and feel very accomplished at this college. Everyone at AZC are super friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable! There is so much you will learn at this school! The instructors and professors go out of their way for their students here, making sure we are all understanding and grasping the material! Transferring to AZC has been one of the best decisions I could have ever made for my education and future nursing career! Thank you for being here AZC!Kayla Angelica Urena

I did a lot of research before checking out AZC for the first time. I had a lot of bad experiences with other schools and the constant going in circles to get into the programs I was looking for. The very first person I spoke with was Madison and she was absolutely amazing she listened to what I wanted to accomplish and where I wanted to go with my career. She also understood that I’m a full-time working single mom and had other priorities. She was very patient, knowledgeable and transparent with me and gave me every little detail along the way through the admission process. I just started my first session at AZC and so far I couldn’t be happier I’m so glad I finally made the decision to pursue a career in what I’m passionate about and I’m confident with the amazing administration and staff at AZC that I’m going to accomplish everything I’ve set out to do.Jacqueline Acevedo

In July I made a spontaneous decision to go to nursing school after giving up on it. I toured a lot of schools but none stood out Until, I came to azc. I was greeted with smiling faces. I met with Amy, and she was so sweet and accommodating of me and my family who came in for support. Every step of the way, Amy was there holding my hand and I have grown so fond of the family like environment here at azc. Amy has encouraged and motivated me the entire process . I’m only in my second week of class but I know from now that I am exactly where I need to be . Every one here is incredibly resourceful and I couldn’t asked for better! Thank you AZCJay Diaz

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

I graduated from the ADN Program here at Fortis and passed NCLEX a couple months after on the first try. My experience at Fortis was amazing. The nursing staff gave me the tools and knowledge I needed to prepare and sit for boards. I’d be lying if I said the journey was easy but it wasn’t. It was tough but not impossible. Nursing is no joke and one must really have a passion for it to be successful. There will be moments where you feel like giving up but that’s when you reach deep down inside of you and remember the reason you started in the first place. Every single nursing staff is there to help whenever needed. The professors may seem tough and Dean Lue but only because they truly care and want to see you succeed. I can’t forget about my fellow colleagues with whom I shared my experience with and who played a part in my success as well from the study groups we had to the late evenings practicing together on the mannequins for Capstone, it was worth it. Thank you to the amazing nursing staff and my colleagues! Thank you Fortis! The experience you have here at Fortis is what you make it. If you take the time and put in the work you will succeed. #FortisStrongAngelica Francisco

I currently attend Fortis for Medical Billing and Coding. I feel like this was one of the best investments I have made. The teachers here truly care about the students and their success. I look forward to each day with enthusiasm. I feel that I am gaining the knowledge and skills that I will need to be successful in my career. I am grateful for the teachers who go above and beyond because they love what they do and care about the students. Currently I am preparing to take the CPC exam and Fortis offers workshops to help me to achieve my goals. I know when I leave here I will not be alone because I know the caring staff are with me in each step that I take to be the best at what I do.Madeline Conlon Valdes

I recently graduated from Fortis Institute. I was in the Dental Assistant program. The teachers are awesome teachers, they are willing to give you a extra hand when you need. The teachers are very helpful and go the extra mile if you are struggling with the material in class. They are very understanding and they don't push you to the side when you are struggling compared to other schools where the teachers are just there for the paycheck.They dedicate their time and effort to their students everyday throughout the school years.I appreciate the teachers at fortis institute and especially the teachers from the Dental Assistant programdaniela tristan

I attended the phlebotomy course here at Cambridge. Heidi was very pleasant, she helped me understand the courses and enroll in the one that made the most since for me. Dr Tobias was my instructor, he was very knowledgeable, engaging, and took the time to make sure that we fully understood the course material. Mrs Pam popped in to assist when we started doing live sticks and that helped us all feel more confident. Renae works in the library and she wad helpful in setting up my card key and national technical honor society. Also just any questions we had about the school process she was able to answer. Mr Gabriel randomly popped in so many times just to say hi and make sure we all were comfortable and had everything we needed.. Then there was Theresa and Carmen who taught us how to interview well and helped us with our resumes. Theresa had many many connections for job placement, in fact I was hired on at adventhealth within the first week of my graduation. I hadn't even taken my NHA yet. Theresa and Carmen were constantly following up with me and them and helping in any way they could. I passed the course and the NHA with an exceptionally high grade and felt very confident in interviewing for my new role. The point of this very long review is that they are a family there and you will have a very strong support team at literally every step of your journey with them. Thanks Cambridge family for everything!Mona Tanner

I was very excited to attend Cambridge , spoke with Heidi to get everything started . I came in for orientation , signed all documents for them to get paid .I paid my admissions fee . A day before my start date I was called to tell me I wasn’t able to start school due to not being accepted in the school . So I’m confused on to why would you have to sign Paperwork just for her to call me and say I cannot start school so and that mindset that showed me that the school only cared about money I just getting their admission numbers accurate. This was the end January 6th . I went Multiple Times in January February to get my $50 admission fee back I was told on several occasions that I was not able to get it back I spoke to the Director of a school which assured me that I will get my $50 back back where they did not follow protocol by making sure I was able to go to the school before they had me sign all of the information.Heidi is very rude and only cares about numbers which is very unacceptable,she pretends to care about her job and making sure everything goes well but in reality she did nothing to help me . Still didn’t receive anything and still going on circles ! I’m not pleased or happy about even trying attend this school .ashanti deshazo

I’m a former student at Cambridge in the Altamonte location, I was in the MA program and I just wanna say they are an amazing school. Starting off with the administration staff, there very respectful and make the whole process as smoothly as possible. As far as my instructor Pamela Gyce she has nearly 30 years of experience in the field. It was a pleasure being in her class, she makes sure the class is on the same page. There is no favoritism whether you’re old or young she treats everyone with the most respect. She’s more than just an instructor Mrs.Gyce will always motivate and encourage you, if you have a goal she will do her best to help you reach it. Very professional and heart warming lady. Cambridge is the place to be.Justin Pinto

A little over a month ago, I wrote a review on here about a situation that was happening between this school and myself: I was receiving calls and emails from them in regards to a balance that I was unaware of due to some mishaps during Covid where the grant vouchers I turned in weren’t utilized and the balance remained. I was beyond frustrated and when it got to the point where they said I’d be I collections for a debt that wasn’t my fault. I became angry and explained the situation here. Not even an hour later, the school reached out to me about getting in touch with the new Campus President, Dr. Dean Vines, to speak more on the situation. When I tell you Dr. Vines was extremely warm, understanding and apologetic about what was happening and personally took the time to listen. He took it upon himself to reach out to me and look into the situation personally, even though this occurred back in 2020 before his time at Concorde. I am very grateful for him taking the time out from his busy schedule to not only correct the problem, but met with me in person to hand me my transcripts and diploma that I had yet to receive from them. Thank you Campus President Vines! You’re an incredible addition to an otherwise great school. I am so glad that Concorde has you as their guide. Both your current and future students are in great hands.Jamylet Flores

I have been trying to go back to school and further my education for years and years finally I came to Florida for a visit and spoke with Claudette Simpson an admission representative and fell in love with her she's been more down to earth more personable than anyone I've known in education she's helped in so many ways I meant a lot of the faculty and staff involved in occupational therapy assistant program and they've all seemed very very very very professional and very nice and very helpful unfortunately I was not able to complete the program when I started in 2020 but here I am 2022 and within within weeks I'm about to start again still feeling like family still feeling like I have support still feeling that everyone wants me to graduate it's a wonderful feeling it's been scary even though I know I can do it but with these people behind you pushing you and rooting for you I have no doubt in my mind they told me they cannot wait to see me graduate and I see me graduating thank you thank you Claudette you are Amazing!!!!Jennifer Lovelock

This is going to be my 3rd Course. So far so good. Everyone's very friendly including the receptionists they are very nice. They greet everyone, like if they knew you for a long time. Also, when you have problems with your work, your teachers makes sure you understand it, including the students. They just don't sign you up and ignore you. I love Ania, always asking how I am doing and cheering me up. Also love the coffee and snacks they have for us all the time 🤗Claudia Puerta
