20 Best Bsn Programs In Philadelphia, PA (2022 Updated)

I have just graduated from Gwynedd in the fall of 2021. When I first started, I was terrified. What college freshman wouldn't be scared? It was a brand new environment and I didn't know anyone. After a few weeks I felt right at home and now, 3.5 years later, I couldn't be happier with my decision to attend Gwynedd. The school has given me amazing opportunities to expand my knowledge in a family-oriented environment. The professors truly care about each student's success no matter what course and they're more than willing to help students get the help they need. Advisors are awesome as well. If it weren't for my advisor, I wouldn't have pushed myself as hard and I wouldn't have graduated early. I will never regret my decision to attend Gwynedd for many reasons. The school gave me everything I could've possibly wanted and needed. As a commuter, the location was perfect. The drive was no more than 30 minutes and the area around Gwynedd is comfortable. Gwynedd is primarily commuters and I think they did a really great job of making sure those students were involved with as much as possible. Events are held in the afternoon or evening so commuters have the option to participate and join in the fun. Gwynedd did an amazing job at providing the college experience to commuters while they also having the comfort of their own home. Overall, it was the best of both worlds. I also had the privilege of being a student-athlete at GMercyU. As a D3 school, Gwynedd offers an incredible opportunity for students to perform well academically while participating in the sport they love. The coaches each play a huge role in the success of the student-athlete body by monitoring grades, attendance, and participation. They're completely understanding when students need to focus on their classwork and they acknowledge that academics come first. Gwynedd places much emphasis on the athletes to help keep the school spirit up. Each team is extremely supportive of the others and they are always more than willing to help out with school events. My time at Gwynedd has been part of the best 3.5 years of my life. Everyone on campus, whether it's students, faculty, or staff, is extremely welcoming and friendly. The campus community is one big family and I'm extremely thankful to have been a part of that. There are so many ways to get involved on campus, from athletics to clubs to honor societies. There's truly something for everyone here and I highly recommend attending. Go Griffs!!!!Lauren Yancer

Look elsewhere! I went to this "university" many years ago when it was still a college. Based on the reviews, it seems nothing has changed since when I went. I was an adult student for secondary education and the program was the worst. Once you're locked in to their program, that's it – your credits are good no where else. There were at least twenty people in my secondary education class – at the final, only three of us were left – and not because of the students, but because of the teacher. The students I spoke to who were just out of high school said that the campus life was non-existent and boring, that they hated it here (that hasn't changed, either). The classes are spaced so far apart that you can either stick around and be bored for hours or drive home and waste gas. After reading the reviews and seeing nothing has changed in all these years – that they didn't care to change, why would you go here?Nemysis OnEarth

Although I do not have any experience with the education provide by this Christian institution, as a local I am displeased with the un-neighborly and un-Christian way Gwynedd Mercy security officers, or "public safety officers," handle individuals who are lead onto the campus by the local park trail. I understand this is a private university and they can ask people to leave if they are intruding, but simply riding my bike through an empty campus to avoid dangerous traffic on Sumnytown Pike seems like a bit much. Not to mention when I asked one of the officers, "so I need to go get hit by a car on Sumneytown rather than ride here without any issue," and he replied, "YES!" God Bless, maybe the Lord will help you prioritize people's lives over property Gwynedd Mercy.Dominic Vasturia

I am surprise people are voting Holy Family University 4 or 5 stars. I guess these rating are NOT based on the quality of the education. AS A PARENT who toured the campus with my child during an open house , I felt that Holy Family can't compete with students from the other schools in the area. Yes, they offer small class sizes ,personal attention, but what else? You don't here a lot about Holy Family graduates in Philadelphia or its surrounding area. Villanova, La Salle, and St.Joseph's are stealing the spotlight from other catholic colleges. Upenn, and Drexel are the large private schools. Temple is a large public school. You could find graduates from those 6 colleges working in MANY different fields around Philadelphia. What is Holy Family's problem? I think they have a problem standing out from the crowd. Like someone has mentioned, Holy Family is too calm. They are afraid to push boundaries, try new things, and compete with the other schools. The school is too relax. It's a calm peaceful university, that DON'T make things happen, but instead THEY WAIT for things to happen. Holy Family is VERY similar to Rosemont ,Cabrini and Gwynedd Mercy, three other failing colleges in the area. They don't have a strong alumni network and programs with a long legacy of success. You CAN'T BLAME this on the school's small size or the school's late founding, 1954. MOST OF THE BLAME SHOULD be place of Holy Family's administration. Not much is done in the president's office. You hear about their nursing program, but you also hear about better nursing programs in the area. What makes Holy Family Different? Most online reviews are commenting on the grading system. I don't understand why this university is hurting their students. Let's be honest, most students at Holy Family were not bright in high school (look at admission stats), so why would the school want to change the system. This grading system should NOT be an incentive for students to work harder. Based on everything I said, I would not recommend Holy Family. If you want be in the philly area, go to a good school. Go to one of the good schools i listed (city 6).Thomas B. Smith

The worst university ever. Do not waste your time and money sending your child here. They do not practice Catholic Values At all. The instructors are not even qualified to teach, they do not teach anything. They teach everything from power point that student already have copies of. Most of the instructors do not have PH.D's. Tuition is very expensive and under-qualified instructors all always discouraging students and putting them down. If students have problems, the faculty sides with instructors not helping students at all. The university is overrated. The name is just a cover up to attract Christian students. The faculty members and instructors, do not follow the Christian principles in the way they act and conduct themselves, specially toward students. Parents be aware, do not let the name fool you – Holy Family. Not Holy at all the way the faculty member and instructors conduct themselves. At holy family university nobody gets a second chance, evilness prevails.O Dre

Since transferring to Holy Family University in 2014 I've come to realize that this was one of the best decisions I have made in my collegiate career thus far. I have never been more satisfied with this university in terms of education, faculty/staff, and the students I have met and ultimately became close with. Holy Family is more than a University, it is a place that, should you put your mind to it, can open doors for your career and future. As graduation quickly approaches I look back on these past two years and realize that the education I gained, not only scholastically but emotionally and spiritually, will be the the ground work in creating a successful future for myself. I just wanted to thank all the faculty, staff, and students that made me feel like I was a part of their family even though we may share different views and beliefs.Adam Lee Price

I joined Drexel University as a Computer Science major with a sole aim to take transfer to a better institution. The only two things that I liked at Drexel was :- 1. Scholarship and Financial Aid 2. Math faculty (Dimitri, Jason and Pavel Grinfield) The CS lectures were aweful, so was the CS faculty. I had a 4 GPA for 3 continuous quarters (that's how long I stayed here). CS 164 was a course which taught Javascript language. However, I knew more JavaScript before taking the course than I came out learning after the course. Totally confusing. Popyack was my professor. CS 171 and 172 were fine, just because I had prior experience with C++. In 8 out of 10 lectures I fell asleep, because they were extremely boring. The professor made no eye contact what so ever. Half of the time what he says would make no sense. The labs don't really help you out, they are poorly designed. Most labs will take more time than the time allotted. You'll have to go home with extra work. The university is fraud and extremely unmanaged. There's no infrastructure compared to the good colleges. Small football field. The area is not safe at all. You keep hearing this person got shot, that person got robbed, raped etc. They do not maintain student to faculty ratio. Classes are oversized and poorly air conditioned. Drexel course registration system is very poor. Generally by the time your registration time starts most of the classes you had planned to take would be full. Leaving you sweating and worried early in the morning (around 7 am). There's something called Drexel Central at Drexel, which helps you out with general/administrative/financial aid questions. I emailed them many a times, however, out of 5 emails, I only got reply to 3 of them. Bad service. (They say they maintain a well-designed database system for all the messages/inquiries/support). They compare themselves to UPenn. (Yes, you can laugh). Also, some professors say that Drexel Dragons are much better than UPenn students. (Laugh again). Extremely expensive. (So much money for nothin'. In fact, the tuition is more than that of UPenn which is an Ivey League) There are two places where you can go and have meals, and hang out with friends too. However, the food options there is so limited that it's better you rather eat at other places and waste all your meal swipes for which you are paying about $ 2000 per quarter. Even with meal swipes you don't get everything (basically the good things). For most of the things you can't use meal swipes. For meal swipe, at one of the locations, for example you can buy Pepppperrrronnnni Pizza (You can guess the quality of the pizza! The worst pepperoni is served here.) The free refill cups are extremely small. When I joined in the Fall the cups had a good size of 16 oz, but as time flew the cups became smaller and smaller. They are now half (may be even lesser) of what they used to be. The books for the courses are at extremely high price, and are hardly used. Drexel maintains rating and review system for course and faculy, however, though it is hardly ever evaluated. (But they will send you a million emails asking you to complete course/faculty rating/review). For example, one of the Pfysics professors at Drexel, who is pathetic at teaching, asks the students to buy books if they are taking the course compulsorily, still continues this practice of making them buy books, even after so many reviews having been done against it. No action taken by Drexel. The dorm life is not bad. Except that the washrooms, toilets are not cleaned on a daily basis. The kitchen is always dirty. Laundry room is always full. Well, they do have a Subway, but the quality of service provided there is extremely poor. The guy there literally just throws everything you tell him on the bread, such that when the bread is folded, 1/4th of the sandwich comes out. Chick fil A at Drexel unlike at all other locations does not provide free refills. Again they are charging you so much for nothing. Never consider going here.Niam Tomer

Surprisingly good University, presenting a good amount of development and a few excellent professors. The co-op opportunities are very interesting, a great idea and implementation. It is, however, a very expensive education, leading to a lower prestige/cost relationship. To become a top-ranked University, Drexel still needs a lot of branding through student achievement – combined with school pride, which could be much stronger – and research projects/applications with high visibility. Both could be reached with benefits to bring more top-level students and professors and with good money usage (because there is a lot of it) and cooperations for project funding.Leonardo Rolim

I attended Drexel and I can honestly say this was the worst choice I've made in a school choice. My professors were pretty decent, but the staff are not helpful and they talk to you like you should know certain things already. I pay this damn school every month on time because I have a balance due, and they won't release my transcripts even though I am paying them upward $125 per month. Which are payments that I am never late paying. I can honestly say I regret this decision and really should have went with my first choice which was Temple and my second choice being Cheyney. The one thing that i did love was it was fast track learning.Ashley Hinton

What a great group of Nurses! These ladies and Gentlemen are what keeps hospitals running! The heart and soul of the medical system! I spent a few hours with this great group of people today for a test and they made me feel relaxed and cared for! I wish I could remember each of their names to personally thank them but sadly they gave me some milk of amnesia and I woke up no remembering my own name! Thanks for all the care and thanks for the great nap!Stanley Rucci

Prism Career Institute Philadelphia Campus LPN program PN 38 Started in Nov 2018 Graduate in March 2020 Day Pilot Program I went to Aria RN program but left when I had my son. The Prism program reminds me of Aria's RN program in it's quality. I think it's even better because of how much the teachers care and come from an understanding perspective. From the DON to the teachers, us students are regarded as unique individuals with the potential of becoming quality nurses. We're treated with the utmost respect and taken seriously. How kind and helpful the teachers are encourages us to study harder. The program is accredited and will be for couple more years (confirm before you join any program). The clinical instructors are very helpful. A few may need to brush up on the exact protocol but other than that a lot of the instructors are very knowledgeable, relaxed, caring and welcome questions to enhance our learning. They do not look for reasons to fail students. The simulation lab helps you to further learn nursing skills and is done in a way where privacy is upheld (other students and teachers are not privy to what you have done in the sim lab). The practice dummy has simulated breath sounds, vital signs etc. to help create life like events seen on clinical floors. The guidance counselors help you tremendously in finding jobs and guiding you to a RN program. Some negatives include the bathrooms being messy time to time. Students can come off rowdy, unprofessional and immature. But sitting in the front can avoid any issues with students who talk during lecture time. Some days I do find classes starting really late due to teacher's unpreparedness. Selection of where we do clinicals need to be improved. Few of the clinical sites were a little gut wrenching but at least the clinical instructors made it tolerable. If you are trying to decide between the LPN and RN program let the TEAS exam decide for you. If you scored just enough for the LPN program definitely pick the Prism program especially if it's close to you and affordable. This can be the stepping stone in the health field for you that you need.Laya Thomas

This school’s zoom teaching during the pandemic has been a complete mess! This place gets you to the last semester and fails people over and over because they weren’t prepared from the second semester! I feel very sorry four the students that go here because teaching on zoom and working on manaquins is not a proper way to train a nurse. Without hands-on in person clinical it’s very difficult for the students to grasp the concepts. The teaching of the nursing courses Is actually done by reading power points to them and that’s it! There’s no helpful Counseling on how to get through these tests there’s no guidance! I can’t understand why they can’t look at the test that they’re giving and give test prep questions on their subjects but the teacher said that requires her to do more work and she’s not doing it ! She said and I quote it’s time for all of you to get off the training wheels! What kind of support person trying to get students through a pandemic teaching situation would talk to them Like that! tutoring consist of the exact same thing zoom classes making you bring to them what you don’t understand instead of them helping you grasp the concepts of the things that you are failing! Person after person keeps saying I’m failing and failing and failing and they’re doing nothing but collecting money hoping for the next semester to come along and they can collect more money but not change anything ! these reviews on this site are serious issues that need to be addressed. I feel duped I’m sure most of the other students Do too! this was a total letdown I understand the pandemic closed for different schooling situations but my God reading from a PowerPoint is not teaching! Yes anybody could do that my 15-year-old daughter could do that! There’s a difference between the nurse and the nurse teacher. Plus the state seems to randomly show up a lot! Save yourself money and time. Anytime I mention the school to anybody people cringe and say oh my God that’s cool is so bad!!!! I’m embarrassed that we were part of such a poorly designed program!erin donohoe

I have experienced observing and hearing students in the community also read some of the reviews which are subjective, To obtain true thorough reviews The Main Question is what is the passing percentage of the students who complete and graduate along with what is the percentage for passing the State Boards. If the percentage is low then the focus is the teachers and course format, itinerary. Students that I had observed, and overheard their frustrations appear to be with the faculty. Labeled as poor teaching methods, and knowledge is limited, they just read from "book" along with having a personality of a friend, street affect when speaking, or answering a question, and is probably because the teacher wants to be friendly, liked , but that is not a professional way. So additional questions for a true review, Is the State monitoring close not only the format of course, but is what is written and accredited being implemented through thorough teaching, mentoring, etc. . Remember any course, program, etc. is considered a Great, Successful, Recommendable, etc. is those who excel with high student success , achievements……not low passing percentages and low drop out rates. Also, If the school has low success outcomes I would assume the State would place more attention to ensure full correct accreditation, which is another question, how many times does the State do an on site check and if there are trends, is the Plan of Correction not only submitted by school, but is is implemented by school to ensure success and increase of achieved outcomes of goals . So reviews are superficial, and for a career choice ensure you obtain the facts for the program, of career course. Good Luck and hopefully this program is not under any State surveillance.Bridget Po'gMoTho'in

If you care about your mental health don’t go here. They lied about having a cafeteria, so students paid tuition not knowing they couldn’t get a meal at school. Super disorganized and a mess with covid, a shame because some professors are good. I made over 4 appointments last semester with financial aid and “walk up” advisors. First of all you will wait an hour or more and they don’t let you schedule in advance. Filled out homeless paperwork the first day of classes in fall for my fasfa. The FA department emailed me after they didn’t answer my 6+ attempts to contact them this summer then sent me an email about how they’d mail me a paper with some questions. (Homeless means I didn’t have a house to send a letter too) After my second meeting they assured me I was all set, I filled out the papers. That my AID package would be available in a week. Next month nothing was showing up so I went back. They apologized and said the lady was out for a month, said definitely next week. This happened again and again until a Thanksgiving where I was told I couldn’t apply for the FASFA because I needed all types of documents (that I asked about the first day of classes). Got a rude email from the FA guy a day later. Don’t go to RCBC these people just want your money, and if you don’t have it they treat you like a dog.dally grace

Both my wife and I have received our A.S. degree from here. It is an excellence school and we love our experience here. I got my degree in Physics in 2019 and my wife got her degree in Biology in 2018. We both had been to other schools before and know full well these complaints from these young high schooler is nothing new to any schools. College is about personal responsibility and they are not going to hold your hand and give you a degree because you show up. You need to earn it with hard work. I did mine while serving full time in the military, if I can do it anyone can do it no matter how much they want to say they can't make time from work. It is a beautiful college that make it very easy for you to get into Rowan University, Rutgers, and Such. Your Future is secure if you come here. My wife is now going to Medical School in VA and I am finishing up my Physics B.S. at Liberty University. I also got a Ph.D. position line up for Engineering at Liberty and a Master at John Hopkins. The low cost here allow us to save a lot of money. Don't go to big universities your first two years and get scam out of your mind. Look at these Picture of our time at RCBC.Capo Solomon

The relatively low cost of tuition does not outweigh the carelessness and ignorance of the administrators. I e-mailed an administrator six times trying to figure out some important information regarding my classes and to get my problem solved, and when I finally got an answer it was her telling me that the school was closed and to message her on google meets if I "truly had an issue". Mind you, I sent the first of the six emails before the school had closed for break, so there was more than enough time to solve my problem or even just send me a reply. Also, the message she sent me was clearly not an automated one, so instead of answering my extremely important questions, she brushed me off and sent me a super general email. Beyond unprofessional, and the frustration is not worth it for the money you spend here. I simply would NOT recommend this school to ANYONE who wanted to get a higher education. Paying out of county rates would be more beneficial for a better education than coming here.Jami Ream

Toby Flenderson from The Office earned a degree in Social work from Temple Uni (S7 E2). It is possible that he was the Scranton strangler too.Akash

Temple has been nothing but a nightmare to me. I chose temple because it has great academics and it does! The classes and the support for classes is phenomenal, but what really makes this school miserable to me is everything else. This is just my experience and if you like partying and city life, this is a good school for you. But what has been terrible for me is the food, the health services and the overall campus itself. I live in Johnson and the nearby dining hall is j and h dining hall and it has the worst food I have ever tasted. The variety is non existent and the food thy do serve is not acceptable. I got sick eating the burger and because everything is so horrendous, I refused to eat their and I almost starved to death. When I went to get myself checked out after I vomited blood, the people at the health services told me to come in the next day when I told them I was vomiting blood and I had to have my mom come all the way from home to philly to take me to the local hospital where I had to have surgery and stay a few nights! If I did what they said and waited for the appointment the next day, I could have been in terrible shape! It scares me that the food services and the health services are practically worthless in this school because instead of trying to have fun, I'm more concerned with surviving the year! I have already decided that after this year I will transfer out because I can't take the lousy services this school offers. But like previously stated, this is just my experiences and the academics are wonderful which is why I chose temple. But don't expect decent food or care because u probably won't find it here. Sorry Temple but you just aren't for meJake Murray

Attending Temple University has been one of the best choices I've made in my life. I transferred from Penn State, which is itself a fantastic school, and found Temple's urban campus to be a great fit for me. Temple offers great academics, internship opportunities, extracurricular activities, sports programs, a beautiful campus–which they are always building up to be even bigger and better, caring and highly educated professors–many of whom will give their personal numbers to students for any extra help they may need, and a friendly and diverse student body. Having been to two of Pennsylvania's flagship universities offers me good insight. While both schools are great, I don't think anyone can argue against the more clear advantage Temple enjoys over Penn State: its geographical location. Having its main campus located in the heart of Philadelphia provides a wealth of opportunities for education, student life, internships, cultural experiences, and employment opportunities. I've enjoyed Temple so much I'm planning on sticking around for another three years to attend Temple's highly ranked Beasley School of Law. –Just one of the nearly 10,000 proud graduates of Temple University's Class of 2017!William Wilson

I contacted these people ONCE.. and now I'm getting nothing but spam upon spam with no way to 'unsubscribe'. It would be cheaper to go back to my own college for grad school than to take them up on their "online courses".. which require you to stay at their facility for a week during "orientation". Most graduate programs will offer you tools and resources to ensure you'll get the best, but also have the opportunity to grasp a job upon completion. If you're looking for just the degree, fine. If you're looking for the degree and the possibility to meet contacts and have a shot at a job scouting you.. look elsewhere. From what I've experienced from just the contacting/information phase.. there is no way I'd trust these people with my money. Not to mention that none of the e-mails you get are directly through a representative nor can you respond back through that e-mail. If I'm sent an e-mail through a company, I want to at least be able to respond back directly to whom sent me that e-mail. Very low transparency = Temple University is hiding something. Do not trust.Alexander Mann

The staff and faculty have been absolutely amazing and I appreciate all of the support they have provided during the transition from high school to attending the University in August 2022. My daughter is very excited and looks forward to attending the nursing program.Karen Barnes

The accelerated nursing program is great! I do not regret my decision to go here. The teachers are patient and never too busy to try to make sure you understand a topic. I love it!Tiffany Walton

I would love an experience to share. I’m praying that I get into this college. Wish me look. I gave five star because my friend got accepted.Destiny Gines

I just graduated from Peirce this past August, 2016. I had an amazing experience here. If it wasn't for Peirce I don't think I would've been able to accomplish my goal of receiving my Bachelors Degree in the legal field. I am now looking for a job as a paralegal! I recommend Peirce to anyone, especially those that have to work and have families and need a flexible schedule to complete their degree. The accelerated courses made it possible to finish my degree in 2 years. The only negative thing that I can say about Peirce is the fact that the tuition per credit increases a significant amount each year. When I started Peirce was about $1500 a course and when I finished it was $1700 a course!! But since I received my Associates from CCP and transferred, I still had plenty of financial aid available.Shelley Bastos

Currently enrolled and studying Technology Management. I have been wowed ever since. Every new term presents its own challenge and makes you appreciate the great detailed instruction provided by Peirce's Professors! In my opinion, Perice is like a hidden gem. I love this college. Update: I graduated with honors in 2016.. The invaluable education gained from PEIRCE nicely set me up for graduate study at saint Joseph's university. I am a year away from completing my MS in computer science. I hope this review helps someone who may be having second thoughts about the quality of education at PEIRCE college.Lloyd Harris

Pierce College is a great school for working adults. Their online programs are well designed which makes for a great learning experience. The staff and Professors were outstanding; I enjoyed my time at Pierce and highly recommend the school.Ben Gimbel

This review is about the campus of Penn, not the academics or admissions. The campus is located in the heart of Philadelphia, University City in West Philly to be precise. Even though it is an urban campus, most of what students need are within the boundaries of the campus or within a block or two. The architecture is Late Gothic Revival, Tudor Revival, and Romanesque. The campus is mostly safe but it is a city so best to stay aware. Locust Walk is the main thoroughfare throughout the heart of the campus and there one will find campus buildings, fraternities and sororities, sculpture, dining halls, and plenty of spots to stop and relax. There are always students, faculty, staff, and visitors moving about. Parking is not easy in the area but you may get lucky with a 2/3 hr spot just make sure you pay the meter! Tickets are issued within moments of violation so driver beware!KGQ NYC

The staff in the ER and on the admitted floor is OUTSTANDING. I was treated very kindly. As soon as I arrived, I spoke to the intake and admittedly was taken back to see the Nurse Doctors ext.. Unfortunately I was consider an ER case.(extreme chest and back pains, high fever and difficulties.it wasn't covid19)dimplez

A beautiful school with history and pride. As the nation's first university, UPenn locates in city of Philadelphia so the campus is within city blocks. But even with that, the campus has walking paths and give you the feeling it is a school standing by itself.Howard Zhu

BEAUTIFUL SCHOOL VERY BEAUTIFUL. IT WAS A NICE COLLEGE EXPERIENCE. EVERYONE WAS REAL DIFFERENT AND SPECIAL AT LASALLE. I GAVE ONE STAR BECAUSE OF THIS FEMALE CASHIER WHO WAS VERY IGNORANT AND PROFILING TO US IN THE BOOK STORE. THATS A SHAME SHE WAS STANDOFFISH AND IGNORANT. A VERY VERY BIAS FEELING FROM HER. THE YOUNG MAN WAS PLEASANT AND RESPECTFUL. HE HAD TO SEND US OVER TO THIS IGNORANT YOUNG LADY. SHE SEEN US STANDING THERE BUT ACTED AS IF SHE WASNT AND DIDNT WANT TO WAIT ON US. THE GENTLEMEN SAID SHE CAN TAKE YOU OVER THERE. THE WORST HOSPITALITY EVER. I DIDNT EXPECT THIS AT ALL. SHE WATCHED US LONG DISTANCE FROM THE TIME WE WALKED IN . SHE GOT GREAT PLEASEURE OUT OF BEING IGNORANT. I HAD TO ASK IF SHE COULD TALK. SHE WAS NON VERBAL THE ENTIRE TIME. THATS VERY IGNORANT AND A BAD LOOK FOR A FAMOUS COLLEGE.HYPERTROPHY HOMILETICS

Great school. Not one complaint. Care so much about their student and will always work with them their best to make sure the student is taking care of. I truly see issues like students getting no attention or communication and wind up wasting credits and semesters on things they did not need and having to graduate late at places like Temple University. That would never happen at LaSalle they always are open to talk and you have to see your academic counselor before signing up for classes every semester and they are really here to help.Nicole Shull

I Graduated in 2014, School of Nursing, and I must say, I love this University, great education, intimate feel. the campus is beautiful, it has a secluded feel in an urban setting. As a African American student, I felt very welcomed and had the opportunity to participate in Travel study courses. That does not mean everyone or even all instructors were welcoming, but if issues arose, administration handled them swiftly and efficiently. Great experience!!! Wouldn't change it for the world…..Akeeya Allen

Most of the teachers are extremely friendly and pretty chill with students. Especially Mrs.Mcgrew (best teacher ever) The gym is pretty cold in the winter and the cafeteria food is pretty bad. Not to mention you can't bring your own food. Most of the students are very nice. The administrators do not play around with dimerites. The Shops are great! You get to choose what you want to do and visit the shop before you make your choice. The hallways are a little crowded but most teachers will let you slide if they see your a minute or two late and out of breath. They do help you learn a lot of useful things most high schools don't consider teaching. There are plenty of clubs and sports you can do as well. It's a small school so rumors do get around pretty quickly, my advice, just don't get involved in any drama and you'll be fine. Everyone respects you for who you are despite race,gender,ethnicity,religion ex. They don't give a lot of homework. (unless your in cosmetology, then I can't help you) Some people love this school while other want to leave. It depends on you personal preference.Fendry Rodriguez Fernandez

Mercy really lives up to its name. I know from experience that when I drop my son Luke off in the morning that he is in great hands. Mercy is extended family where your child is genuinely cared for. Mercy sees your child's potential and gives awesome guidance. Staff is always available for any concerns you may have for your studentRene Dep (Sparrow)

My daughter really enjoy going to Mercy, and for me that means a lot when teenagers enjoy their learning Experience she is doing well With her grades and for me that is all that is important. She is learning and enjoying it. I will mold her with the rest because I am and will always be her first teacher.Dana Michelle

A most challenging and rewarding education is offered by the school of nursing at U Penn. The NP program prepared my niece well to meet the challenges of the real world.G. Birmingham III

No stars! I am a current student at this institution. I started 01/06/2020. I get to the end of the program… my last class to pass and they fail me due to not passing the ATI 2017 Med Surg 2. Which was passed on the second attempt with a 71%. However, they would not except this score because of a situation that occurred while taking the online proctored exam. Needless to say I had to take it a third time which led to me receiving a 68.9% on a new version of the ATI 2020 (OUR CURRENT ATI BOOKS ARE 2017) NOTED. So now I am stuck at this institution and must repeat the class. Even though I have passed the class with an 84% overall grade. Now here is the messed up part. The institution states that in order for me to re-take med surg 2 over I must test out of A and P and BNS. I get two attempts and if I don't pass these test out exams I must complete A and P and BNS all over again. Which I have passed already. How mad am I? When you make it to the end and this happens. No negotiations, no make up this is what it is. Though out my time at this school there has been… difficulties. With the PN administrative department and some instructors. note: I have witness 3 excellent instructors and they know who they are. For our class 54… We started with about 32 students and ended up finishing with 6 and out of that 6 only 3 are taking the exit exam 'hopefully'. I do plan to finish because I can't afford to start over elsewhere. But I hope that if anyone is planning to obtain a career in nursing to go elsewhere. I do not recommend this institution to anyone. Yes it is easy to get in but hard to stay in and complete the PN program. Our class made it because we understood that we must stick together to pass and we made it as a team and still some of us failed. I am so proud of those of us that will/may finish. This proves that self-dedication is possible with the determination to finish this program against everything that was thrown at us. I am sad that this has happened to me but I still will do my best to pass. Its unfortunate but things happen. i just wanted to share my story.Dawanda Wiley

Although I did graduate from this school, the experience was HORRIBLE!!! PITC needs to increase student support and communication. There were times we went weeks without a response from staff, not even the DON (Alex) or owners of the school. My last class ended in September 2020. We did not take the Exit Exam until January 2021. During that waiting period; we have not heard a word from Suja or administration about what the next step would be. We’ve sent countless emails, left many messages and voicemails with no response. Their communication is despicable.This school is not worth the amount of money they charge. The simulation lab was not really a simulation lab. During my attendance, the only clinical experience we had was in nursing homes. No hospital experience, which means no Peds, Maternity, Med Surg, or Mental Health experience prior to graduating. There were a couple of great instructors that actually cared about the students, but overall, I would never want to attend this school again. I finished valedictorian and didn’t even attend the graduation because of my disgust with the school. I’ve been to different schools and NEVER experienced anything like this. I have so much more to say, but I’ll cut it short. If I had to do it again, I would not choose to attend this school. I would not recommend this school to anyone. This school needs to be shut down. I feel sorry for anyone currently attending there.sharae cannon

I really wish I had of listened to the reviews about this school as well…WARNING DO NOT ATTEND THIS SCHOOL PLEASE!!!!!! You will regret every moment of it. This program has so many issues from terrible teaching to lies and deceit. You basically teach yourself since everything is on l online because of covid-19. The owner doesn't care about anything that goes on with the students enrolled. You only get one uniform and you're spending almost 40k for tuition. They make everything sound so good when enrolling students but it's all a facade. Look how they respond to the bad reviews🤔 how so apologize for someone stating an opinion about your program and then turn around and rub in the reviewers face about the fact that people have graduated from the program? Most likely they graduated by the skin of their teeth. To sum everything up don't waste your time or money please.. Follow up comment 06/03/2022. I still advise people to avoid this school. Look at how they patronize and demoralize people if you comment negatively about their terrible program. For example the comment they provided below. Seems like a guilty response to me.Siani Press

The trainings are incredible, detail oriented-no one left behind. I have experienced some thorough professionals that happen to be instructors. I'm in month#3 of a 5 month training for Registered Behavior Health Technician with a perfect 100% average I am also and have been in college for Behavioral Health for 2 years now with 27 credits;currently I attend 2 schools. I am a Marine Veteran as well;I'm a proud citizen- I've run for public office-hell I even volunteered for O'Bama's campaign- and truly value the constitution and my civil rights.During todays instruction mt instructor Michelle Kerr-Spry started talking about while badgering our elected president Donald Trump-talking about how she would verbally cuss someones mother out if they ever talked positively about Donald Trump-I put on my TRUMP hat and she had the audacity to instruct me to remove my hat. First of all-I'm in my own home-secondly I'm an american citizen with rights-I care not what candidate you or anyone endorses-I'm in school to learn Behavioral Health and not political science. I am appalled and insulted-how dare she even think that she can request I take my hat off-It's only a hat-c'mon man-I am requesting that she verbally apologize and recant her statement to my entire class and explain how wrong her actions were-and not ever go out of her way to hinder or jeopardize my education as I now expect retaliation for my complaining about this reprehensible behavior. I would appreciate it if I would be contacted by someone in a position of authority,immediately -I am persuing this in a civil manner.It won't allow me to post until i suggest what star level I feel they qualify as-I pick zero just because of this situation -but must choose or not have my statement postedJames Blair

I have not had a good experience with them. I have been a fair share member since 2012. They have been taking about $50+ out of my check once a month since 2012. I spoke to a lady in June of this year(2017) that is my "contact" for the union for the first time ever and she asked me if I just started. Like, really?! 5 year, I have been here 5 years. They cancelled mine and my family members health insurance without contacting me at all. When I call them I get the run around, never any real answers if they respond to my calls at all. If you are this union and it works for you, that's great. Kudos to you, but for me they absolutely suck.Miranda Massey

Air precaution! Director of Nursing Program attitude stinks (someone needs to have a talk w/her, attitude turn off during Info. Session)🤦. They DON'T ACCEPT College Credits & neither do they give it. But if you you just want experience and a leg up then do it. Don't know how they get funding and their program nearly have you going thru more hoops than you would in a ADN, BSN Program… To eaches own…LYNDA B.

I was visiting a sick friend today at Lourdes . The employees here are great . They led me to the elevator and then on the 3rd floor to the room. Everyone was courteous and pleasant . The nurses are keeping their patients comfortable and their families are treated with respect. We had a few too many in the room and they didn't escort us out . We weren't being noisy and given the patients condition I see they gave us a break All in all I give this place 10 out of 10 today. Thank youJennifer Rase

Our Lady of Lourdes is a great Hospital, I had a heart catheterization done yesterday (12/04/20) and everything went very well, the Doctor and Nurses who took care of me were very good, given a choice it's the only Hospital that I'll go to, they get 5 out of 5 Stars! I actually gave my nurse a hug before I left, that's how much I was impressed with her care of me after the procedure, fine job by both her and the Doctor, thank you both!D.J. Smith Jr.

Please do not contact this place they refuse to answer any questions you may have regarding joining the school, they just tell you to go and look on the website and call back after you have a specific question after I asked them did I need any extra classes before hand. Front desk person and coordinator were extremely unprofessional ! Just imagine how the instructors are.Elle Dameron

Please do not waste your time with scam artists looking to make a quick buck off young people wanting to start a career on the basis of helping others. This program will not be completed, they will not certify you regardless of how long your enrollment is dragged on. There are so many people waiting on their state exam from this school who started over 5 months ago (4 weeks is a joke and so is the fact that they are still advertising it as such) because the program is run by people who act as if they believe laws don't apply to them. Communication is very literally zero barring a legal threat, they tell different students different things, try to bully and intimidate anyone who speaks up about their blatant lies and disrespect, and their "lab" (before clinicals, which still have not happened 5 months in) was the most uninformative waste of time I've ever experienced, short of all attempted email and phone conversations with the director. Save yourself the time, effort, and stress- find somewhere reputable. My classmates and I saw the low reviews and ignored them from desperation to start a course, PLEASE do not make the same mistake. There are other programs, this is NOT an option. With how many pending complaints against them they have, I would strongly consider the probable longevity of the programs existence before enrolling if nothing else has swayed you.Hope Geiter

I attended PANAT December 2019 – January 2020, & I have no regrets. We had hands on training sessions, we got Test on a regular basis to make sure that we understood what was being taught, our main instructor Miss Kathy was patient with us, & all the other instructors was also great. I am also CPR Certified, because that was a part of the course, we was required to do clinical & our teachers was there with us each day to make sure that everything went well at the nursing home. PANAT sent off all our documents to Pearson Vue & gave us the information to set our date, my exams date was initially set for March 2020 but due to Covid19 I had to reschedule & didnt get a date until November 2020. All in all I am excited, because I am a Certified CNA & the only training I got was from PANAT & I just studied my books, practice my skills, listen to the instructors & did what they taught me! I would definitely recommend this school to anyone who is serious about become a CNA & is ready to put in the work that is required!Kaye Foster-King

THIS PROGRAM IS A SCAM!!!! I’ve paid $1,300 for this program, completed the program , and still have yet to take my State Boards. I took the 8 hour course Trump passed for TEMP NURSING AIDES and presented that to them. Ms. Pearson and myself have communicated by email NUMEROUS of times concerning using my hours from 2 Different Long term Nursing Homes, towards my clinicals. Ms. Pearson has requested Both places of employment, and stated in the last email back in Jan 3,2020 that my Roster was up, and my name were submitted already; I have YET to hear ANYTHING! “ Your roster was submitted last Thursday to Pearson/Vue you should be receive an email from them over the next few days. Let me know when you get it Peg “. I wish I could put attachments with this to show you all the 12 EMAILS I’ve emailed to Ms.Peg Pearson and to NO EVAIL. PLEASE DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS PROGRAM.Ms. B

The school is fraud. Not to mention they hate to see their students succeed. For the most part I am speaking on the behavior health department. That department will give you a hard time to get a degree. I have had my account disabled so I can not register for classes. I am a priority student which means you can register early. But thanks to the vandictive behavior health department they are up to their rediculus nonsense again. This is why I have to warn other students. Be aware they have a degree but God forbid you get one. I advise that apartment to help others as others have helped you. Haba!Belle Alena

I’ve been attending CCP since 2017 and what these past years have shown me is that this place is very unprofessional. The staff here does not only have major attitude problems but they give you the runaround as well. This school has been having problems with locating my H.S transcripts, even though I received a call in 2020 from a staff member claiming that they received it. No one shows compassion in email or in person. I cannot wait to transfer!Harmony B

I just dont know about CCP anymore. The service to the students which we are the ones who keep the school open is beyond horrible. You barely reach anyone. Everyone is using this whole oh work from home thing as the reason why no one is responding. I just can't wait to i graduate but I do not recommend CCP to anyoneZendora Gilbert
