14 Best Bsn Programs In Phoenix, AZ (2022 Updated)

As someone who isn’t from the USA and relocated from United Kingdom , it was important that I made the correct choice when it came to education in the United States , after doing my research and reaching out to different schools who have a massage program I chose gateway because from the first contact with Mr Tapscott he was super friendly , passionate and helpful , he made sure I had all the information I needed and he directed me to the right place to complete my registration to the program . The price is amazing and they definitely can charge way more for the service they provide , gateway and especially Mr Tapscott made the process so easy and comfortable . My first day of class was so welcoming and they went the extra mile to make sure I/ we students were comfortable , I had the best experience at gateway and this experience was due to my fellow classmates but mostly for the teachers attitude and pride in teaching , Mr Tapscott , ms bouer, and mr Ybarra were amazing , they are so good at what they do and the effort and dedication they put in to each and every student sets them apart from any other education opportunity I’ve taken , we created a family and this includes the teachers , they allowed us to learn at our own pace and didn’t disrespect us , they encouraged us , the material in the program was inspiring and the method of teaching made the learning fun , it was a pleasure to go to gateway for the 9 months of the program and I looked forward to seeing my teachers and classmates everyday throughout the course , the program allows for Externship which gives us the opportunity to work with others in the community also work with employers of massage therapy , it gives you an insight to what to expect after the program . This in my option gives you the experience and confidence to be successful in your future , I love Mr Tapscott and is in my opinion an amazing teacher , a kind , honest , trustworthy person who has pride in his work , he has a pride for everything he does or talks about , I couldn’t of asked for a better college to attend and I am blessed to be apart of the experience and to see people who are passionate about what they do to improve peoples lives .

Thank you GATEWAY thank you thank you thank you !!!!!Simon Richards

I recently graduated from the Massage Therapy Program at Gateway. Mr. Tapscott and his team were the most supportive, inspirational, knowledgeable and humorous group of instructors I have ever studied under. Mr. Tapscott taught the online portion of the course that was heavily weighted in anatomy, physiology and introduction to massage therapy. Mr. Tapscott was always offering assistance to students and following up on financial aid, GI Bill funding, finding places to do externships, or assisting with any other issues the students may have faced. The lab portions of the class were taught by Mr. Ybarra and Ms. Bauer, both experienced massage therapists, both dedicated to successful outcomes for all the students. Mr. Ybarra is known for his demonstrations on various massage and stretching techniques during labs. All three instructors shared a great many stories of their experiences in the massage industry. This team of teachers worked very well together and created an environment where the students felt proud to be part of the class and continuously improved in their massage skills through out the course. Each teacher has a great sense of humor, will be direct if there are issues to address but they are always respectful and professional. The program was also the start of many long lasting friendships and a successful future in the massage industry for myself. I highly recommend the Gateway Massage Therapy Program for anyone that has a desire to improve peoples lives.Kathleen Dimitruck

DO NOT ATTEND THIS SCHOOL!!! I have been attending this school for a while. When I had enrolled I wasn’t given proper information. I do online school and I’ve been struggling with math and biology and to my surprise the instructors do not put the effort in to help other students online. I went in to speak to an advisor and low and behold she didn’t help either. I have a learning disability and stated that information to the advisor and the best answer she gave me was “unfortunately we don’t have special services for students who have disabilities” I’m in the process of getting my associates degree in DMS and no advisors informed me before I started the program that I needed to take an HESI Exam. Another thing is for students who do the online classes, students have to their webcams on to take the tests/quizzes but don’t require it during other class time such as completing assignments. IM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS SCHOOL!!! THERE IS NO HELP WHAT SO EVER AND DONT HELP STUDENTS SUCCEED!! DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!!!! And because I struggle in math, I’ve tried free Tutoring and they only available for an hour and if you need more time you need to make a new appointment. An hour gets 3 questions done and they still don’t walk you through the process.Monica Balderrama

Signing up was easy, I was provided help at every step in order to insure my success when I completed my diploma, I felt confident enough to move forward with a degree. Once I completed my diploma and as I have been working on my degree I have had the best career advisor. Even though life got busy with work, school and home issues and sometimes I did not respond, my career counselor Marianne Cooper never gave up on me. I am happy to say I have found employment and couldn't be happier, thank you to Brookline college, it's teaching staff as well as every one else who helped me in moving toward improving my educatuon as well as my financial situation, you are the best!Nicole Adrian

I attended Brookline College online in the Medical Office Administration program. From the beginning at admission, to the instructors and career services it has been a great experience. Everyone was always willing to assist you with whatever is needed and very responsive to all communication. This program has taught me a lot and has given me the experience and knowledge needed to make the transition into the career field I've always wanted to be in. I would recommend Brookline College to anyone wanting to make that life change as I was!Melissa Martinez

Today is a great day! I just graduated the MA program ! I’m so proud of myself, I’ve learned so much! I always been very shy and working through the MA I’ve really come out of my shell. Thank you Mrs. Lisa for being my cheerleader and helping me with my resume! Mrs. Lisa even called a employer and scheduled me for a interview tomorrow! Thank you Ms. April for helping me finish my program strong! If you are looking for a great college Brookline has an amazing MA program! Take it from they really care!Christina Estrada

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

This medical assistant program was everything I wanted out of a school and my education. Growing up in Hawai’i and the culture there it has become an instinct to seek out anything that feels like a community. I graduated at the beginning of February of this year and after completing 11 weeks of externship here is what I have learned: Any other MAs I work with are extraordinary at their jobs; personable, professional, HIPAA compliant, OSHA compliant, etc. They are wonderful MAs all in their own way but what I feel is profoundly different from them, their education, and the one I have gotten is knowing my scope of practice. It’s become apparent that many MAs like to be directed on what to do and when to do it for their patients, and that’s amazing, however, it is well within our scope of practice to ask questions, to advocate on our patients behalf, and to educate our patients on, not only their rights, but their medical care. My coworkers often ask me WHY I am always going to the providers and asking if a certain treatment will benefit our patient.. well, because I was given the confidence and the knowledge to know that, while I may not suggest or recommend any treatment to a patient, I CAN ask a provider if something different will help our patient. Sometimes they tell me no and every time they have it has been another opportunity to learn. In the often times they do take my inquiries under consideration, more often than not, I find that the treatment/patient care has benefited our patient 1. Because it makes them feel and let’s them know we are all in with them. 2. They are the ones who are actually in control when we’re in a room together. And 3. They just need to be reminded that simple fixes don’t always exist and it’s okay to ask/research what may work for them. It is because of The Allen School that I am not the kind of medical assistant who applies my medical knowledge to my patient.. instead, I apply every patient, their symptoms, their history, and their experiences, to my medical knowledge and build from there. Being in the medical field (especially working in womens health) is what I was born to do. Allen School and my instructors fueled my passion more everyday. I can only hope to represent them to the best of my ability and to continue being the medical assistant I would wish for every single one of my loved ones to have. Allen school is not easy, no one should attend expecting to float through the program without being challenged.. this program cultivates wonderful and highly sought after MAs for a reason. What I will say is, the education you choose could make a difference in how you care for someone’s loved one, you have to ask yourself.. do you want the best education or not? Would you want the MA you have caring for you to be as educated and prepared as they possibly can be? Allen School isn’t perfect.. but you will leave there knowledgeable, you will leave there prepared for your externship, and you will leave knowing you can return to a community that will be there for you. I would like to add that Tara Evans, the externship advisor/coordinator is an absolute god-send. She, too, was born for her position and her passion for Human Resources and matching an MA to the specialty they feel their heart is called to is unmatched. And Dr. Hunt, both an instructor and the director of the school, absolutely will call on you to show up, everyday, as the best version of yourself and.. she will always require that you can defend your knowledge. If you are not sure if this school is a good fit for you, you can tour the campus and ask the student advisor any/all questions you may have. You can come by and meet instructors and see the students in their class-setting. It was the best decision I have ever made for myself but more importantly for my current and future patients.Rubyan Rodriguez

I have only been here for two months but my experience has been very well. The faculty has a very good depth of knowledge in their own area of practice and have a clear understanding of the Medical Assistant role. The Doctor Directing the entire program teaches some of the more challenging classes and shares real life scenarios while presenting the material to help give a better understanding that will help us grasp the subject. Each instructor is always open to answer questions in or outside the classroom. What I also like is that tutoring is available everyday after school. The school has a recognition program, where certain students are recognized for certain achievements in front of their peers every 5 weeks. I look forward to completing the program and starting a new career by the end of the year. I'm glad I chose Allen School of Health Sciences.IRENE GONZALES

The Allen school of health sciences has by far been the best choice i have made in my life. Going into the school I was nervous and excited to open the door to my career, however there was nothing to be nervous about. All the instructors and staff treat you as if you are one of their own and are willing to help you no matter what. Whether it be personal life and you need someone to talk to or if you need help academically, they are always there. My classmates have become my family and there is nothing I would change about my experience. I would like to personally thank Dr. Hunt for believing in me and giving me the chance to have a better life. It's a lot of hard work but will always be worth it in the long run. Thank you Allen school family❣️Kiley Murphy

I don't know where to begin. Being frustrated and feeling as though I am giving the runaround, trying to get my diploma and trying to get my official transcript from a school that never answers a phone call during business hours. I never had to rely on a voicemail message to get back in contact with me due to miss understanding of phones calls. I have set up a payment arrangement back in May 2021, and I was told that if I miss a payment out of six months I will have to start all over again. I have been making payments and unfortunately was told that I missed three payments but look at my account and I see they're taking money out of my account. But still won’t give me my diploma. The staff is very rude and have not sympathy or compassion about the students other are trying to make something out of themselves in life. Talking to the staff is like hopping and excepting. Staff that not willing to work with you to try to help me. I've been only help by Miss Sherry, which I was told no longer works there. She's been the only person helping me getting my diploma and trying to get everything situated. I feel frustrated disappointed disgusted and hurt that I can't even depend on the school that I thought would help me succeed in life. This is hurtful and I would not wishes upon no one else. I work so hard live alone have no family here and you're telling me that I can't get any of my transcripts or I can't get my diploma because you guys messed up on your end and you're making me suffer which is not right and unacceptable. As much as I talk about you guys school and the staff that helps me and for someone to sit there and make me feel as though it's my fault is unacceptable. Question would you want to recommend a school to someone? For me at this point I will say no because I see that they're not even trying to help at all but take my money and won't give me my diploma or my transcripts I need to speak to someone and the corporate office as a CEO or CFO that can help meMoquatin Washington

If I could give 0 stars, I would. Every campus that I have spoken to someone on the phone has been rude and dismissive and not willing to help… I attended the nursing program in 2016…completed one semester…and had to withdraw from the second (before it started) because My son was having health issues. They told me to come back whenever I wanted that they would gladly accept me back into the program where I left off… which was absolutely not true! When I tried to go back….i was told I could be accepted into the current semester…Which would have been fine except….they were changing the curriculum the following semester…Which if I would have gone back would have forced me to start all over again…. Also, When I asked If I would be able to have a financial credit for the first semester that I completed because they changed the curriculum, I was told to speak with the head of the nursing dept and then she told me that was a question for financial aid who then referred me back to the nursing dept head…and they both said that they couldn’t help me. Don’t waste your time nor effort here. $24,000 down the drain for absolutely nothing! And not only that, But when you try to have your transcripts sent, it takes forever to actually get a hold of someone…and with the rude staff on the phone at every single campus it’s ridiculous!Melissa Kloess

I’m so happy I came across the Arizona College of Allied Health on google. I requested to receive more information about the college and not even a few days later I get a text from Justin. Justin was very nice and gave me so much information that helped me decide this was the college for me. Before I came here I was at Community Colleges for the last 5 years completing only prerequisites not even in a program yet. When Justin told me I would graduate next year in July getting my DA diploma I was beyond excited. I can’t thank Justin enough for all his help. I just got done with my first track passing all my classes. I could have not done it without Ms. Vosteen. She is the best teacher I’ve ever had at all the schools I’ve been to. I am going to miss being in her classes but I am so excited to continue my journey. Thank you Arizona College of Allied Health for everyone there that I’ve seen have all been so nice and some teachers actually joke around with students instead of being so serious and rude it’s so refreshing being able to be in a environment with teachers like that.Ashley Brandon

Horrible horrible experience. Lack of empathy towards students. Laurie in particular is absolutely horrible at her job. I don’t know her job title or if she even has a degree but, she made me and my families life very stressful. Finding a nursing school should be exciting, but this was a nightmare. It started by calling multiple times and the school not having a profile saved with my information. Laurie, I had to give you my information every time I spoke with you until I was assertive enough to ask if you or someone could possibly create me a profile? Then, before I knew that I guess Arizona College only allows you to get your questions answered by one person, I spoke with another “Admissions Advisor” because I was tired of constantly texting and never could get a reply. I expressed that I would have preferred a phone call. It’s kind of nice to actually speak to someone over the phone especially, when you’re about to make a life changing decision. I just wanted a phone call to see where things were and get the answers I needed. Texting isn’t clear and at that point in the admissions process a phone call should have taken place. Laurie appeared to get upset and stated “I was told you don’t like me and don’t want to work with me?” This is very unprofessional. I was being gossiped about and started to feel there must be bonuses or possible commission involved. I felt like I was in a ran down car lot being pushed to buy a car I didn’t want. All Laurie’s concern was for me to sign the application. She was never enthusiastic about starting nursing school. Something along the lines of “come in and take a tour with your family and see what our campus has to offer. I can also help clarify any questions or concerns you and your spouse may have.” Instead it was always arguing back and forth with her. It was ridiculous! The biggest thing is that I was given the run around multiple times, this was extremely stressful. I was told one thing one minute and another the next. This is why I called someone else to get clarification. I felt Laurie is incompetent. It’s important to know the handbook and what the admissions process consists of. First she wanted this document. Turns out it had to be a different document. Then, she lost the email and asked if I could send another document. Turns out none of the documents worked after being told they would. I was never offered a tour of the school, rarely got a return phone call, texted all day, treated with rudeness, given the run around daily, etc. For a $100,000 degree I expect to have an actual Admissions Advisor helping me through my admission process. I’m not that hard to please and I’m a humble person, but this is uncalled for. Get to know the handbook and what the state or school actually requires for admissions instead of having me do the work to track down and pay for documents that once again won’t work. An advisor that remembers my name, treats me with respect and kindness, and someone who has a profile set-up with my information so that every time we reconnect she has my information in front of her would have been ideal. I shouldn’t have to explain what we just talked about more than 3x. Names of colleges attended, my excellent GPA, my current degrees, reminding her I already sent my transcripts, my current career, reminding her of my name, etc. I'm so glad it didn’t work out. I want a school that supports me and somewhere where I feel secure. If the admissions process is like that then, I can’t imagine how I’m suppose to keep a solid B through the whole BSN program with faculty like that. Absolutely the most stressful admissions process from any school I have looked into. I’m so glad it didn’t work out. Everything happens for a reason. I don’t want to help them improve their graduation rates. I will take my degree in Medical Assisting, 8 years of medical field experience, 1 1/2 years of nursing pre-reqs, and my excellent GPA to a school who values me and my compassion for helping people and saving lives.Lacey Newton

Where do I start!! I submit an inquiry for information about the accelerated BSN program on a Sunday Night. I filled out information for GCU and Arizona College of Nursing. I spoke with Laurie from Arizona College of Nursing **the next day**, and I don’t even remember the name of the person I spoke with at GCU. The minute I spoke with Laurie, she led the way. She helped me get my starter ducks in a row to begin the process for enrollment. She provided all the resources needed to get everything going for the August 31st class. I truly believe that the schools 3-year BSN program and Laurie are the two key points to my decision. As soon as I was in, I was in. She didn’t let me go, she followed-up with me consistently to ensure I was ready and had everything I needed to be successful. I was scheduled for my HESI-A2 test that Friday, passed and have been happy, grateful, excited ever since. The school is very hands-on and engaged to make sure you have what you need and the tools to be successful. Also Ms. Amanda at the front desk is amazing! She’s a total sweetheart and is there for anything you need just as all the other staff members are. Ms. Jardee is also phenomenal! I mean I could go on but I would literally be here forever. They have workshops, laptop programs for an affordable price, with so many more resources and benefits to make sure you are on the right track. Bottom line is, if you’re thinking about enrolling- DO It! And if you’re choosing between Arizona college of nursing and another school, go with Arizona college of Nursing because you will not regret it!!Fatima Nimes

Please do not apply to this school ! Do not apply to the Phoenix campus or the Tempe campus . They only take in students of color to meet the government’s diversity quota for government based grant . They treat students of color like garbage . They actually hired racist , hateful professors like professor Nicole Solomon ! they are bullies. You’ll often see a professor yelling and insulting their students in front of a class like it’s normal . The Dean of nursing and the professors pick their favorites and if you do not fall on that list , good luck to you and your mental and emotional ! This school has to be the worse school I have ever attended! Students are getting abused by professors and if you speak up , they’ll you professor Sabrina Emerson Miller to get rid of you claiming you plagiarized! Stay away from this school ! This place should be shut down and I know they will eventually ! No evil goes unpunished . Their credits do not transfer out ! Be cautious!Blessed Vorgar

I completed my CNA program with Star Canyon & would definitely recommend it to anyone that's willing to commit to a few weeks of hard work. The program is fast paced but if you study & stick with it, you will succeed. My Instructor Ms Regina was Phenomenal. She was always willing to answer questions, gave real life examples in the field, and it was obvious that she really had the students best interest at heart. The program also allowed extra time for skills practice which was much appreciated since working full time made it difficult for me to find time to practice at home. I highly recommend Star Canyon for anyone looking to obtain your CNA license. Thanks again Ms Regina for everything!shakara jackson

Ms. Regina is an amazing instructor. She gives you all the information you need to succeed. She doesn’t teach you like an ordinary instructor would, she breaks it down in a language that you will relate and understand. The class size is small so you will get that one on one attention you may need. She is very attentive and available for all her students and takes the extra time out if needed. It can be a bit overwhelming but Ms. Regina makes it easier as you continue. I am so happy that I made the choice to attend. Star Canyon School of Nursing and Ms. Regina has completely changed my life. I recommend this school for anyone who is seeking a CNA/ LNA.Jessica Myles

Mrs. Regina is one of the best instructors, hands down. She gives her students tough love that pushes everyone to work hard. She is very knowledgeable and gives encouraging insight into what state is like. This program definitely prepares you to pass your state exams and they also give you additional time to do practice tests/skills even after the 5 weeks are over. I’m so thankful for all the staff at Star Canyon as well as my class mates that I met & practiced with. I would highly recommend coming here for your CNA program. I also recommend doing your CPR course with them, David is a great instructor. Long story short: Trust the reviews! 🙂Shanya Perez

I have been going to this school for more than 2 years now, I will be done with BACHELORS (YAY) next year! It goes by fast! This school has given me so much to be proud of! They have mapped up my every class, clinical, and lab! They are available always when I need help! The instructors are always available to help when you need them and want you to succeed! AZC has some of the best passing rates on the NCLEX because of the way they create their tests here at school is very similar to the NCLEX test itself. Some say that this school doesn't really let you work or have outside life, and that is true. Before you sign up make sure this is your first priority, it is not easy. If you fail a class you have one chance to re-take it and pass it. If you do not, you are out of the school. Failing must not be an option. You have to get at least 77% accumulative on the exams or you fail. There is one nursing math test that requires a 100% or you fail, you have 3 times to take that. With that being said, I have never failed. If you put in the time, the work, ask for help when you need it, the teachers and staff will be here. I am very excited for my future because of this school and have a lot of friends beside me excited as well!Deena Binder

Love this school (Tempe, AZ)! Yes it’s expensive, but it will be worth it. The admissions part was very smooth sailing. The professors here are amazing. The environment is awesome. This school will help you get to where you want to be. If you are having a hard time in any class, there are professors and counselors that will help you. They want to see you succeed. I feel like when I previously went to a community college, all they cared about was if you had a 4.0 or not. Keep in mind in most classes, you do need at least a B in every class to pass, but this school will help you in every way to make that happen. Nursing school is not whatsoever “easy”. It is hard. It like a full time job and it will take up your time. But keep-in mind we are going to be nurses one day, helping save lives. It’s supposed to be hard and difficult. Trust me, if I can do it, you can too!! Highly highly recommend this school. When it comes to the financial aid part, I just wish there were better financial advisors. But if you’ve been to any college you know that its always the most difficult to find a good financial advisor.Cailin Seimears

After attending Arizona College of Las Vegas for about year. I can honestly say the professors do their best to teach especially during the circumstances of Covid. However, I have since then moved out of state and they will not release me my transcripts. It came down to them not doing their job and submitting the forms I signed for financial aid to the government to cover the 2,000 dollars from my last session before I moved. All they had to do was submit the forms on time before the semester ended…Due to this, they are now saying I owe them at least HALF the money before they will even release my transcripts. They are putting my future in jeopardy due to their incompetence. Just beware before attending this school. Don’t say someone didn’t warn you.Julia Cox

I’m a current student in the ADN program. I knew it was fast paced when I signed up, I knew what it would be like to do a program like this. I prepared myself but the school didn’t really care about the fact that COVID affected everyone differently. Especially a few of the instructors. I never missed a day of school after I got COVID the first week of class and was prompt in communication and was sick for weeks but told I had to return or I’d fall too far behind. I definitely struggled during the semester, but I pushed through, one of my instructors who is the Pharm teacher let me know I couldn’t use COVID as an excuse. She was not sympathetic and wouldn’t let me re take anything, while my other teacher encouraged me and pushed me till I passed. The biggest issue is you have one set of people who care and another set who don’t. They need to reevaluate their staff because they are definitely discouraging many of the students. I’m just one who speaks up.Jocelyn Monique

My experience it was so bad here.. it was a nightmare there was one instructor she was a bully!! She was instructor here and at. 6751 N Sunset Blvd #330, Glendale, She bully students she didn’t like she was so childish unprofessional she act like a high schooler Mean girl lol . she would talk bad about the one student she doesn’t like to everybody to make her look horrible the saddest part is some believe her. she pick favorites and will literally fail students she don't like and brag about it. And make fun of them make them cry. I forgive her but I always going to remember her. All I can say is don’t hired racist Jealousy & Insecure instructor it’s sad. I never thought I would experience something like this in college ugh . I find a better college and I made it I’m gratefulOseri Orie

Fast paced schooling which I love. I attended the Glendale campus because it was so much closer to me than the Phoenix campus on Dunlap. I know it’s not for everyone. I liked that they had the option of doing evening classes, it was pretty flexible with the 2 days outta the week. My dental instructor Mr. Hester was knowledgeable and really helped prep me for my radiation health exam, which I was able to pass on the first try. And found a job rather quickly after I finished. Few things I didn’t like was having to attend all those meetings for how to write a resume and how to look professional for an interview, I really hated those lol. But that showed me that they really do help set you up for success if you have no experience in working for a professional field.Yuzelly Ramirez

I noticed that there aren’t a lot of reviews for this school campus’ LPN program yet. So, here’s mine: First of all, let me start by saying that this school is legit! I’ve just graduated from their LPN program. I have also recently sat for my NCLEX and passed! I’m celebrating! And, I’ve just received notice that nursing license is officially active. So for any prospective students hesitant if they should enroll or not, wondering if this school legit, do know that, yes, this is an accredited and legit institution (accredited by ACCSC and approved by the Arizona State Board of Nursing). There are pros and cons though, and reasons why I couldn’t give this review a 5 star. As of the school’s areas of improvement, wish there was a more active communication during the school’s program. There were a lot of changes while our cohort was in the program (change of management, change of process, and even instructors). For a moment, we felt like we were in a circus and riding a roller coaster. There just had to be more structure, organization, and a proper cascade of communication which I would say I’ve seen them try to improve and have been working on towards the later part of our program. I hope they’ve worked on that now and still are. Another downside is that this school is only nationally accredited (not regionally) which means it’s harder to transfer your credits somewhere else. I still went for it because I wanted to skip the daunting task of doing useless prerequisites and I was in a time crunch. Price-wise, this school is expensive! But, if you have the means to support yourself, don’t let this stop you. Oh, last grievance, our class did not get a graduation! Lol We were pretty bummed. They blamed COVID of course. Now, let me talk about the positives and what I love about this school. We had amazing instructors! At least in the beginning and on our last block. Shout out to Bill, Nilsa, and Tahira! They really cared about our success. They were patient enough to answer our questions, give us resources, listened to our needs, and made themselves available for us to learn and grow in knowledge and skills. They understood nursing is a tough program and never judged our learning capabilities but believed in us. I also liked how our schedule was a hybrid of in-person and zoom. The schedule allowed me to work while in school and allowed me to still maintain a social life. We need balance and this school allowed that. Another thing I liked, though not perfect, was the program. It was work but it wasn’t overwhelming. As long as you do your part, put in work, and study, you’ll be just fine. Perhaps, it wasn’t much of a challenge for me because I created my own study curriculum for myself Lol We were given tools to supplement and support our learning such as ATI and additional content mastery books. This helped me prep for our finals and even the NCLEX. A huge plus, even after our cohort graduated from the program, we were still given school resources to prep for the NCLEX. Instructors conducted review sessions via zoom. They’ve sent us study materials and learning documents to help review. They were there to answer questions and room for our class to support each other. This school also had the infrastructure and skills labs to help us learn unfamiliar processes. It’s almost complete with all the tools we need to practice nursing skills. So overall, this school may not be the best but it is still a good school to go to. For me, it truly worked out time-wise and what I needed to accomplish. Look, I’m already a nurse in a year’s time. No waitlist. No further delays. Of course, everyone’s situation and goals are different, but I can say this school helped with mine. If you think this school’s program(s) is for you, go for it. Don’t let your fears and apprehension scare you. I hope this review provides helpful information and help those who need to make an educational decision if they should enroll into Smith Chason’s LPN program or not. Good luck everyone!Caleb Michael Torneros

I graduated from west coast June 2020. When I was in school I went through a tough time. The staff was so hands on helping me get through school and changing my schedule. I cannot thank Kallie enough. She is part of the reason I finished school when I wanted to give up. She went above and beyond for me and made sure she kept in contact. I also had the best teachers that really prepared me for the field. Lastly I want to thank Jason for helping me land my dream job!! I currently work full time in Tempe with his help! He sends out emails with jobs and helps students set up interviews after graduation! I know there are some negative reviews but in all I recommend WCUI to anyone who asked me where I graduated. They have prepared me for my lifelong career that not only I enjoy but has changed life for my daughter and I. I’m so grateful I took that step to call the school and enroll when I did!!christiana kelly

I recently graduated from WCUI with a Bachelors degree in Cardiovascular Sonography. The staff is incredibly understanding and helpful. I had my second child while in school and they were incredibly helpful and made all the necessary accommodations for me to return back to school with a newborn at home. The instructors are INCREDIBLE. Each and every one of them took the time to work with me one on one to ensure I understood the course material and to help improve my scanning abilities. They always take the time to really get to know each student, and they truly care about each student. The staff worked very hard to place me at an amazing clinical site where I now work. If you are willing to work hard, WCUI can make your dreams of becoming a sonographer 100% possible. Thank you to everyone at WCUI that helped me on my journey.Braidyn Wells

It was hard but I have learned from experiences at Carrington. I had two of the best instructors Ms.Kelly and Mr. Ingram that helped me understand billing and coding. They were my best support system and I am proud to have had them be my mentors. Also, I passed my certification exam this month and now I'm a (CBCS) Certified Billing and Coding Specialist. Thank you Carrington for the knowledge and skills needed for my career 🙏💙❤💯 CONGRATULATIONS CLASS OF 2021👩🏾‍🎓🧑🏽‍🎓Miss Mo

Attended and graduated from this college in Medical Assisting. I've had to stop on by for transcript copies every now and then. The staff continues to be friendly and professional. The highlight of attending this college was how friendly the atmosphere was between students, teachers and staff as well. They seemed to value teamwork within the students and strongly encouraged it. They also held hands-on learning in high regard which was very useful after graduating.L Cruz

It's been almost 30 years since I've back to school and the staff and advisors have made this a seamless process. I highly recommend Carrington to anyone who's interested in attending school again no matter your age.LYNN CAPEREL

Thank God we have a competent nursing program in Phoenix. The Certified Nursing Assistant Program was great. I passed my state test the first time I Try. The instructor is a Nurse Practitioner. The administrative team are all doctors, they are very Professional. I will recommend them to any anyone looking to go to nursing school. The are just amazing!Guillet Builders

SCL College of Nursing is great. Even though the class was two days away, I took and passed my entrance test and they helped med to get my other paperwork to get started. 100% graduation rate too. Not bad!Shakera Nathan

Kind of one of the funnest colleges to work at and to go to school fun people great staff recommend it to anyone trying to go back to schoolRuben Garcia

If you want to be an RN, I would suggest not attending classes here. The mannequins are outdated and would constantly malfunction. The school is always understaffed and they don't care to provide more funding to hire more teachers and staff as well as not providing better resources like up-to-date mannequins and software. ASU has never cared about the student's education. It's always been about generating money. If you want to save the trouble and the headache, I'd suggest attending classes at any of the community colleges that offer the nursing program. It will save you a ton of money.A K
