16 Best Bsn Programs In El Paso, TX (2022 Updated)

This appointment was in the process since almost 6 months ago. There was no openings which was understandable from Covid. However when I arrived I was under the impression Dr Sing would be my doctor. I was told how sweet he is and reassured he's all in all a swell guy. In comes in Dr Wongmek who was the complete opposite from the beginning. She entered rushed and upset with the computers in the facility. She starts to rush my appointment and was condescending until I expressed I was becoming upset. She apologized for "how I was feeling" she soon changed her tone. I thought we were on to something when she asked me about my diagnosis. Unfortunately I was left in the room over another hour (almost 3 hrs total) nobody was in the hall to ask any questions. I had enough by then and walked out. I was gone almost 22 mins before they realized I had already left the premises. Mrs Rocio who was the sweetest ever, took it upon herself to call me. She wanted to reschedule me and I chose not to. Honestly for what… another 6 months. And to be passed off to another unhappy provider. Thank you but no thank you. I've been a Medical Assistant for over 13 years and never felt like such an inconvenience.Vanessa C

I went into a specific location and all I had done was a check-up basically, if you can really call it that. People say insurance is expensive, try not having it. All they did was check my weight, blood pressure, looked in my ear, looked down my throat and looked at my eyes. If I remember correctly. The whole process took about 15 minutes and I paid $100 the day of. I later received a bill with a balance of $300 roughly. It cost me almost $500 for a 15 minute check-up, that did absolutely nothing. I was given orders for blood-work and requested a colonoscopy, which I found out costs $2-3 thousand dollars, approximately. Not sure how much blood-work will cost, scared to ask. The doctor was good initially, seemed to truly care. The session was ended horribly, left feeling like, is the doctor coming back, feels like something was missing, felt incomplete. Capitalism is great and I understand it, but this country is ran by the dollar for the dollar. NOTHING IS DONE IN THIS COUNTRY FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE. Take covid-19 for example and all costs they were/are trying to pass on to the people. It's all about investors and how can they make as much money as possible.KayBecs

We are new in town Medicare with supplement and the closest clinic told us to come here maybe cecause they didn't like Medicare. A retired Physician Assistant I took 2 hours of reading with me but only waited 30 minutes. 5 stars for getting me in as a first time patient for a pre operative physical they had an appointment in two days instead of two weeks. Staff was courteous. Not sure if my MD was a resident but he was thorough and attentive. I found residents more engaged and interested than us old guys just trying to pay our mortgages. Better trained as well. Thanks. I have not had covid yet so glad to see spacious waiting room with few people in it.ken jenks

UTEP as university does not rank at all in either the QS, Times Higher Education or AWRU World University Rankings. Hence you do not go to this university to be competitive within academia nor expect career compensation on a commensurate monetary level as a Top Tier or even 100 ranked university. For those interested in careers in National Security or Intelligence, UTEP is one of the IC ACE (IC Centers for Academic Excellence) under the DIA. If you examine the current list of schools who classify, all with the exception of Penn State are sub-par in terms of academic ranking, reputation and overall competitiveness. As such, you should NOT expect to be recruited by premier alphabet federal agencies such as the CIA, ODI, FBI or DIA. The so-called meet and greet sessions with organizations such as the CIA are just for PR. Read A Curriculum of Fear by Nicole Nguyen. The IC ACE program is just an extension of the Milton High School program at a secondary level and subsequently proof of further militarization of academia. See Prof. David N. Gibbs research. UTEP NSSI program will not prepare you adequately for a position at an alphabet agency. I have direct experience in terms of the interview process and this includes two Five Eyes countries intelligence services. I would strongly advise having an established military background with an appropriate MOS, preferably working INT with high level clearance and exposure to analysis. Foreign language acquisition is mandatory. Being or becoming a polyglot is an enormous plus. Military is valuable for the vetting process and indoctrination. Finally I would also suggest majoring in fields of specialty as opposed to a generic umbrella like liberal arts program such as Intelligence studies. I would also suggest overseas exposure. Long term. Think Exchange student for extended periods. Total immersion including culturally and linguistically. Travel, gain first hand experience and real world knowledge. My final critique with UTEP is the faculty. None have applicable real world intelligence experience. Some have military background which is not the same as in the civilian world working for an agency. I can get more real world knowledge reading the articles written by ex-CIA McGovern or Philip Giraldi at Consortium News or watching Richard Steele on YouTube droning on about the need for total all source open intelligence as a reform for the CIA. This is a problem at UTEP and probably the entire IC ACE program. In fact, this was addressed in the Washington Post article, "Colleges Must Be Intelligent About Intelligence Studies" written by ex-CIA, professor of History, Nicholas Dujmovic. This was followed by a limited response from two UTEP professors entitled, "Can colleges teach intelligence? Three security studies professors argue they can, and should" I seriously suggest you READ BOTH. Pay special attention to the second follow up response comments. There are 14 comments including Dr. Dujmovic's timely response which adequately confirms my own beliefs and experience. as he correctly states, "professional academics, with little to no actual intelligence experience, who have an interest in perpetuating the degree programs they run." The additional comments are of equal merit as they brutally confront the apparent hypocrisy of the such academic programs from what genuinely appears to be INT insiders with both military and civilian intelligence experience. On a final personal note, I would like to express my disdain for the program's coordinator, Carmen B. Medellin whose has shown to be completely inconsiderate and rude to student needs and inquiries.Merauder

The school is good overall. They have enough classes so that people are not desperately trying to get registered for their class like they do in California. They have a wide range of degree programs you can choose. It is a commuter school, but still there is a lot of student life, activities and pride. University is what you make of it. You can go and leave each day without talking to anyone, or you can go and make lots of friends and join clubs making this the best years of your life. I read some of the comments that say that the professors don't answer questions and that they act like celebrities. I say talk to the dean, you are paying for your education they need to answer your questions. Of course don't be that person that tries to take over the class trying to feel smart asking question after question. Also there is a degree of learning that comes from in class teaching, but students also have to study on their own based on the guidance they get in class. How many hours do people really study? In regards to getting a degree, please don't get thousands of dollars into debt for a liberal arts degree unless you have some plan that will allow you to pay back your loans. It is no one but the students fault if they choose a useless degree. You guys should know what degrees will allow you to get a job after graduations and which ones are just going to look nice on your wall. At the end of the day, there are many Universities around the country, if you don't like it, go to another one or don't complain that you didn't get accepted anywhere else and you are stuck.Carlos Contreras

This University offers a beautiful campus. I enjoyed the scenery. On the other hand the University is awful. The structure and system of the University is poor. The staff within most departments lack knowledge. You are constantly being directed to different locations in order to resolve an issue. I wanted to change my major midway through the semester and I seriously had the worse time changing it. Let's just say, it is still the same major. I am unhappy at this University, the professors although some good, seem as if they just show in order to receive their check. My first two years, 70% of my professors were extremely anal and dealt with giving outrageous curves because the whole class was failing. The reason why everyone was failing was mostly because of the lack of teaching. Yes, it isn't always the professors but the students as well, I know, but when 95% of the class is below a 70, we have a problem. At this point I'd rather invest my money into a community college to rap up my basics. Give UTEP a try, but I am almost positive you won't be too happy.Austin Carson

My hubby have been so excited and prepared to start this coming session since the month of March. He had to wait till November because a new session started a week ago before he went in to the school. Mind you, He has rejected 4 job offers because he doesn't want what would interfere with his school work in the future. I have never seen a school administration this horrible. We are paying our own money for this school, but they don't even seem to care about their reputation. Right from my husband's time taking the exams to get in the program with the school earlier this year. An interview is required by the school, meanwhile the school administration rescheduled at the last minute. My husband got to the school for the interview at 12:02pm (Interview time is 12:00pm). He got sent back at 12:10pm that he was late for the interview. Meanwhile they can reschedule interviews at last minute, very bad with communication, I mean….. come on now, they haven't even call back or emailed. it's irritating that I'd rather let hubby continue with his master's degree than that school.Opeyemi Olorunfemi

By far the best school I’ve attended, everyone is attentive and show interest in wanting to help the best they can. Instructors are awesome I have nothing but great experience from this school. I graduated with honors and now work in an Urgent Care, they prepared me the best they know how. I wouldn’t trade Pima for any other. I definitely recommend you attend Pima, you won’t regret it. Good luck to you all, I hope pima is as good to you as it was for me ❤️linda echeverria

I participated in an Advisory Board meeting and wasd very impressed with the campus, instructors and administration. The MA department is really doing all that they can to provide their students the greatest tools for success. The meeting was conducted very professionally and orderly. Mrs. Escobedo was very knowledgeable and provided detailed information about her program. Her passion for her students came through as we spoke afterward.Ismael Ortiz

I would definitely not recommend this school, don’t look at the prices and get fooled, they don’t even teach you, your in a classroom with a computer and studying and doing it all yourself, minus well download a cdl phone app and save yourself the money. This school has a total of 144 student with a 61% passing rate, that is really bad compared to other schools, going in there on my first day now I know why only a little more then half pass, if your considering cdl school and looking for a good school that care if you pass or not then I would suggest not choosing this one, don’t be fooled by these people, they will try to convince you that this is a good school. Don’t find out to late, go to a school that’s a little more expensive but that will actually help you pass the first time, with the way these people teach it will take you a few attempts to pass and that’s more money out of your pocket, they only give you 1 driving test attempt and extra fees if you fail and want to retake, REALLY BAD SCHOOL!!Hasim Peterson

If I could give it a zero stars I would, do not waste your money on this school, you will not pass unless you have experience driving a rig, they give you very little manuever and driving hours. there is like 20 students trying to learn the pretrip at once from one instructor. the price is appealing but they don't tell you that they're gonna charge you 300$ or more every time you have to retest. Aside from all that you will probably wait for a couple of weeks to go take your test. The owners only care about taking your money. I have lost count of how many people have had to go to another school to get their CDL. My best advice is to go to western tech. They are a bit more pricey but you will save yourself a whole lot of time and headaches and you are guaranteed to get your CDL in the time they say.brian romero

I want to commend Julieta and Jorge at the administration office for their guidance and their willingness to help, very nice people. Dr. Hector Noriega is very knowledgeable and patient, explains all subjects very clearly and answers all your questions or doubts until you’re completely satisfied. Could not have chosen a better school, better staff. The programs are very well designed and very affordable, no student loan debt when you finish. Keep up the good work and best wishes to all. Definitely recommend this school and the phlebotomy program to any and everyone.Daniel Medina

Emerald nursing school is an outstanding place to get your CNA or update your CNA certification our instructor is an absolutely absolutely wonderful nurse she is extremely knowledgeable has a lot of experience and is a very capable professional woman. the director and the gentleman that take care of admissions are very much focused on the students success and they have gone as far as providing us with a small fridge a microwave a coffee pot just so we can feel a little more taken care of. it is just an outstanding school and a group of very wonderful professional people that genuinely care about their students. It is with pride that I am one of their students.Letty Holman

The instructor was great and taught us the material that was needed, but the quality of equipment was very poor, I took this course during COVID and we did not even have proper gloves to wear, instead of providing medical gloves we were given cheap disposable kitchen gloves. The scrubs that we paid for were not given to us until the last of class, and very poor communicationSara

This review is from a very satisfied student, definitely I will come back for more programs! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I highly recommend Western Tech collage for everone who want to learn and achieve in life. I just want thank you Western tech collage for helping me to attain my CDL. And open the door for me and my family for new opportunities in my career in trucking business Western tech collage providing outstanding quality of learning and Teaching compared to other competitors on every level and aspects, Best in El paso Hands Down! Western tech collage values represented in Mr. Guadal Gonzalez ( Mr. Lupe) and everyone in his team are providing high level of knowledge , motivation , persistency ( failure is not an option ) ,dedication, Skills, professional experience And teaching tools are required to achieve and succeed Western tech values : 1- my time and money. I got my cdl only 6 weeks. Even though I’m slow learner. 2- the program the cost is fraction of what other schools charges 3- profisionalism 4- Respect 5- Class A customer service Thank You Western TechAhmed Zayan

I’ve been going to Western Tech for the Diesel program for a little over a year now, almost heading out and honestly I would do it all again. This was by far the best life decision I made. The school isn’t perfect but like everyone and everything there’s always room for growth. Grateful for the teachers that I’ve had so far they couldn’t be more helpful shout out to Ismael Acosta, goes out of his to way to help a student, a great teacher and that’s an understatement. Overall the school is a great option presenting great opportunities, if I ever need a change of career WT would be the first option.J Sanchez

If there are any real reviews read the lowest ones. 5 stars, are you kidding me? How much did they pay you? lol. This school is a scam. Don't even bother, for the price of a 4yr undergraduate school, JUST GET YOUR BACHELOR'S DEGREE!!! constantly just overcharging adding to you tuition. I can honestly say I regret going to this school. It's designed to steal from the VA. Im glad I pushed through and graduated. I believe the only good thing I'm able to take from this is my AOS. I'll forever use it to repay this scam.Daniel Garcia

Everything about this school is amazing ! Staff actually seem like they want to be there and don’t hate their jobs. They go above and beyond to make sure you have a good experience at their school. They would even text me to make sure i’m doing good which you can’t say all schools do 😀 Unfortunately i dropped from my classes which they give you a full refund within the first 14 days which is awesome. The process was smooth and easy and the lady who helped me cancel “ Leticia Moreno” was super nice and non judge mental and even gave me a soda & snack. I recommend this school for anyone that wants to get a college degree. They are for sure the best option in El Paso !!dr pepper

I got my Associate's Degree back in December. No complaints. Decided to enroll in their Bachelors and finish up. I signed paperwork for an April start date on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I arrive on my start date only to be told oops, we forgot to tell you that you don't start until June and you'll be going on Mondays and Wednesdays. No professionalism. Lots of sorries, but no remorse. Now without adequate break times, we're no longer allowed to eat in class. This place has become a greedy money making institution with overpriced cafeteria food that they are forcing their students to have to eat if they want to get through their day.Amber Le Roy

My boyfriend comes to this college and I laugh at him all the time there basically stealing his money he was supposed to get 2000 back because the pell grant over paid so the college decided to add that money for the next semester which they have no right to touch it, but I called other great colleges and let the Pell grant know what is happening he will get his money back, military veterans stay away from here is this even a certified college?Sylvia W

I am a recent graduate from Southwest University. I graduated in March of 2021 with my AAS MA. I was very nervous to enroll in school in my 40's. Southwest University is an AMAZING school that cares about the success of their students. After working in the Healthcare Field, I decided to re-enroll in Southwest University to get a Bachelor's of Science in Healthcare Administration. I was apprehensive about enrolling again in school. I had an appointment with Ruby Ramirez who is an Admissions Advisor on campus. She not only answered all my questions, but she welcomed me back to Southwest University and made me feel great for pursuing my education. I cannot wait to begin this new milestone in my life and I am super excited that many of my classes from my AAS MA program actually transferred and will be accepted for my new degree plan. The next three years will definitely pay off and I cannot wait to obtain my Bachelor's of Science in Healthcare Administration. Thank you Ruby Ramirez for today and getting me excited again to go back to school. I guarantee, the entire staff at Southwest University will help answer any questions you might have about the admissions process and once you start your classes, all the teachers are going to be there for you! Definitely take the next steps and enroll in Southwest University! You will not be disappointed! UPDATE: I just completed my first term into my Bachelor's of Science in Healthcare Administration program. I had great professors this term and learned a lot!! For those who are about to take Electronic Medical Billing with Ms. Barreras, you are in great hands! She is an amazing professor and will help you step by step throughout the course. Her experience in the field will definitely help you to understand the material. Thanks for everything Ms. Barreras!!! I look forward to having you again next term for Quality Assessment and Performance.Lopaka Ahia

2022 is my second year enrolled at Southwest University. Here at Southwest your dedication and hard work will not go unnoticed as Cari Jo Pritchard has recognized my success and now I am a part of the prestigious organization of National Technical Honor Society. There is plenty of help to get you started speaking with Brenda and Ruby who are in admission to get you all information. The admissions stay connected through your journey of academics along with some great professors and helped me ensure all my credits from previous academic year get transferred along fitting my schedule by having day or night classes available. Southwest University builds a positive environment and get students involved by having events for everyone to join that encourages me to come back in the future earning another degree. No matter what program you follow through there will always be a reaching hand to help you be successful.Destiny Moore

So far my experience at this school has been extremely positive, the staff are very helpful and respectful. A specific staff member, Mrs. Breeden (My anatomy and med term teacher) has stood out from any other teachers I have had. Her love for teaching radiates, she is amazing at what she does, she genuinely cares for each and every one of her student's success in and outside of class. I look forward to showing up to her class daily and getting to enjoy her lectures. It has been such a privilege and blessing to have had the opportunity to learn from this outstanding woman. I highly recommend her for any class she teaches.evelyn lopez

Whoever ABBY is from the nursing clinic is extremely rude. I asked her to simply repeat an email that was extremely long and her reply was, “I don’t have all day to do this” being a nurse of 7 years myself, I would never reply to somebody that way. That is not taught at Epcc to act that way so why should the employees get to act in such a way. No mam. Very inappropriate.Rebecca Sifuentes

The parking is hectic. The Building B has no AC accommodate because I enrolled in Spring 2019 so the teacher decided move to building A with AC. The food is only optional as Taza coffee and Basil gardens. I miss subway so bad. The staff is courteous but sometimes it had problem.Angel Arreola

I have asked before to please update your pictures. I do not know how to stop my camera from updating through Google. You will leave me no chouce but to remove my email address.Leo.Manny Mendoza Jr

Great Phlebotomy course! Everyone that works there is extremely helpful and has a great sense of humor. The Instructor is awesome and makes sure you understand the content. Classroom time provides more than enough hands on experience in such a short amount of time which is why I would recommend this course. NOTE: VOLUNTEERS!! The more people you bring the more practice you’ll get! Show up to class, pay attention, and study what is provided and you’ll do fine. 5 stars for Freedom Academy!!Angel Lechuga

Top of the top schools in El Paso Tx, thank you so so much ❤ the instructors and director are respectful, understanding, amazing and very patient and helpful. They will go the extra mile to help you in anything. I highly recommend freedom academy👌 do not sleep on it ya'll.😊Gina Ramirez

I absolutely love coming here ! Ive learned so much and in a fun and challenging manner, the teacher is amazing and so is the principal, they have outstanding communication and i feel very comfortable with everyone and everything i love it here Jaqkie Silva

Im working to gets my AASMA . My experiences with the teachers/staff is awesome they are very outgoing and understand and are always there when you need them. They make sure you are ok and understand what we are learning. What I like best about Vantage is how everyone here is so nice and kinda to you and make you feel at home I always love how the classes are small and with at we are able to get more one on one and the teachers makes sure you are understanding before moving on. I would recommend Vantage College for all my friends or anyone who is trying to get there life on the right path . Vantage is the college to be at.Claudia Casas

I am going towards my Medical Assistant associates degree. The teacher here are great excellent towards there teaching/ the staff is awesome everything to the point. What i like about Vantage College is that I enjoy the atmosphere and the people who surround me. I feel comfortable. Also i have learned a lot throughout these past few months. I certainly recommend everyone who is interested in IT or Medical Assistant Career to come join us!Jannette Cunanan

This school has been a huge help in getting me prepared for my certification exams. I just finished my 220-801 & 220-802 and am now A+ certified. The hands-on training has helped me grasp concepts that would, otherwise, have been very difficult to wrap my head around. I strongly recommend this campus on Butterfield Trail Blvd and strongly recommend Oscar Lopez as your teacher if you consider the IT program!Romans OneSixteen

Just moved to El Paso 6 months ago. Went to the Dr twice and now I have 3 bills from a collection agency! No bill was ever sent to me! Call the collection agency and they can't even give me a number to call them! Terrible business practices!Stephanie Skarren

Texas Tech is an amazing asset for the greater El Paso region. Thank you for your investment and for providing amazing healthcare to our community!Shane Griffith

Dr. Jennifer Brown thank you very much for your attention and your services I appreciate it very much. I will miss you in El PasoMarisol Blanco

It's hard to get into the nursing program but once you are in, it is worth it. Not only they teach you skills a nurse must have, but also why you are doing what you do with the patients. This is key for knowing what could go wrong and either avoid it or be prepared for it. Great instructors.Claudia Romo

A beautiful setting to learn and grow in with state-of-the-art educational facilities and faculty! UTEP's School of Nursing is among the top ten in the nation. If you are searching for a satisfying and fulfilling career, this is the place to accomplish your dreams.Kathleen Cox

(Translated by Google) It has a unique architecture, it is also very large and has very beautiful gardens, it is also the only one that has a Methodist religious building belonging to the country of Dr Buthan within the facilities that opens its doors to the general public on Wednesdays from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. :00pm (Original) Tiene una arquitectura unica ademas esta muy grande y tiene unos jardines muy bonitos ademas es la unica que cuenta con un edificio religioso metodista perteneciente al pais dr Buthan dentro de las instalaciones que abre sus puertas al publico en general los miercoles de 11:00 a 1:00pmTeresita Patricia Garza Espinoza

Love this school! Great instructors that actually care about how you are doing. They regularly follow up with you and are genuinely concerned. However, it is a very very hard program. You will not make it through this program if you are not focused. Time management accounts for a lot. I was gainfully employed as an RN after I graduated.A A

Spend your money elsewhere. EPCC has a way more affordable program where the school does not view you as just a number/statistic/ piece of data. What a waste of money.natalie jaime

I would like to first thank K & B institution for this opportunity , leading to me graduating as a Nursing Assistant..I am better prepared to work in the medical field; with all the material and skills that I have learnt from you..This was a great experiece and rewarding Thank you..ROSE DELICE
