20 Best Rn Programs In Memphis, TN (2022 Updated)

From the first day I came in to visit the school until I graduated, everybody on campus was fantastic. Any time I needed help or was struggling, there was always somebody to help point you in the right direction. Everybody I have come into contact with has been extremely helpful. Throughout your program, you will remain in contact with a success coach, for me this was Mr. Hollis. Your success coach will reach out and contact you just to check up on how you're doing and see if there is anything that they can help with. Coming from a 4 year institution, I did not the advantage of a success coach and this adds a level of accountability which helps you to succeed. I have never met more down to earth individuals who truly care about helping you to succeed.Zachary Baker

I just finished one of Concorde’s many medical programs. My admissions advisor was Mr. Todd Hollis, although I believe he works primarily in the business office now, he was a great first impression as to the kind of people Concorde has working for them to help the students succeed. Mr. Hollis answered any and all of the questions I had. He walked me through the step by step application process over the phone as I was completely things on my computer at home. During my time as a Concorde student, Mr. Hollis would always stop and ask me how things we going and always reiterate that he was there to help. All of staff at Concorde really care about the students and want to see them succeed!Kourtney Payne

My name is Mya Griffin and I just completed the Medical Assistant program. All I can say is this school alone was absolutely amazing, but I couldn't start or get through my certification without the help of Mr. Todd Hollis. I thank Mr. Hollis for believing in me when I didn't believe in myself. If you are thinking about going to Concorde Career College I recommend you go through Mr. Hollis he will make sure to motivate you if you don't have any I promise.Mya Griffin

I called once and they told me to speak with Misty Love. I called back and Misty wasn’t there. I left a message, but no one called me back. So, I called back and they told me to speak with Dana Tanner. I called back and left a message on Dana Tanner’s machine. She was not in either. No one called me back, so I called back and yelled at the manager. I yhreatened to contact a lawyer. She finally took down my information and told me to take my car and get an estimate. If this lady had not hit me, I would never deal with this group. Very stressful experience. Robert FowlerRobert F

We have known Shawn Rogers at Farm Bureau for many years. Shawn is honest, trustworthy, fair and dependable! What else can you ask for? We have had complete peace of mind with our property and possessions since we have switched everything over to being insured by Farm Bureau years ago!!! From the quotes he provided when we were inquiring about changing insurance companies, to the customer service provided by both Farm Bureau and Shawn’s local agency, it has been a top-notch experience from start to finish! We highly recommend Shawn for all your insurance needs!Cristian Salazar

My agent Robert O’Kelly is the best agent ever. I have his cell number, he will stop playing golf just to talk to me to take care of whatever I need. He’s very professional, a find and happy voice. He knows his job. The best service ever. Thank you Farm Bureau. Ms TinaEvertina Halfacre

I try to get a massage at least every 6 weeks. After trying Concord in Southaven, MS 1 time, I'm hooked! You aren't alone in the rather large massage area, but you are in a private area that is quiet and tranquil. Don't expect foo-foo spa experience. However, you will receive a truly professional massage at a fraction of the cost. The students are very professional and will leave you knowing you've had a most wonderful massage.Stephanie Morphis

i love concorde. very chill and honest school. i was blessed with the two best DA teachers. ms aundrea and mrs.brittney. shoutout to concorde southaven!!!Tianna

I called the 1-877 phone number today around 9AM 12/18/2021 inquiring about my Home insurance asking for an email address and the rep stated that I would need to contact my local office which is closed on Saturdays and she was no help at all. My policy is up for renewal in a couple of months and I will take this under consideration.Martin Hill

Had a bad experience with a claims adjuster after being a loyal customer for more than 10+ years. I have moved on to another company for my insurance needs. Thanks for taking care for 10+ years . I will not come back.Dr. Do Little

I recently had a claim on a totaled l vehicle. I was able to reach my agent immediately and worked with us quickly and received the check quicker than I expected. I am very pleased with their serviceRick Williams

My experience has been pretty great considering I'm going through the student program. The students that have been working on my mouth have done very well! It's high quality care at the cheapest prices you'll find anywhere else in Memphis.Charlotte Favreau

Excellent work place particularly i worked in Physiology department Under mentor of Dr.Rao lab is great achievement in my life excellent mentor in this world. UTHSC is hygiene of work place at all level. Thank you UT…..Siva G

Very sweet doctors. I had a corneal ulcer and had to be seen every day for over a month and they worked around my schedule and would even text me and check up on me in between. Highly recommendCortney Roach-Scott

The University of Memphis is a great urban University in the heart of Memphis, Tennessee. It has grown and developed tremendously over the last 20 years. I am an alumnus with bachelor's and master's degrees in business. My father earned his EdD here, my wife (accounting) and one of my children (music) are also graduates, and I have two more children that will be seniors this year, one in child development and one in French. There are many notable alumni, including Brad Martin, the retired chairman of the board of Saks Incorporated, who could live anywhere in the world and chooses to live in Memphis, TN. My degrees from Memphis prepared me well and have served me well in my 28 year career in financial services. I still have close connections with some of my grad school professors, and I teach in the business college as an adjunct. We have many dedicated and deeply experienced faculty who truly care about their students. Like all organizations, not all employees are as strong or friendly or caring as others, but the majority of the people I have worked with and was taught by are excellent. Memphis has great facilities (getting better all the time), and a strong, diverse, and highly engaged student body. As with all higher education, you will get out of it what you put into it. My kids have all placed a high priority on their education (partly because we did, but also on their own) and as a result have done well academically and socially. They have been highly involved in campus life, including numerous academic, social, and professional student organizations. They have truly thrived and grown and matured here. I am proud to call the University of Memphis my alma matter.Richard Marsh

Any time I've had to deal with administration over credits, applications for scholarship/dorm/etc. something has been messed up and its a nightmare to fix. I wish the school cared less about sports and more about my major, and how we don't have much in the way of resources. The food was pretty bad when I had a meal plan but I've heard its getting better. My time in the LLC was pretty fun. My professors have been great. The library is great, except for the time they charged me $300 in overdue fees when I returned all my books on time, and I had to talk to 3 people before one finally looked for my books, which were all sitting on the shelves. Wish tuition wasn't going up. Literally anything that has to do with money or bureaucracy is a nightmare – when I dealt with Bursar's they give me eye rolls and sighs and act like I'm the biggest inconvenience because the classes I paid for and passed with A's aren't showing on my transcript and it's screwing me out of scholarships! I don't know where the university finds its employees. But I absolutely loved my program and my professors! I just hate that my school is run like a for-profit business!!!Breanna Parker

Advisors are slow to respond to emails, ya have to contact advisors a week in advance to schedule something, rather than within a week regardless of deadlines. I am a transfer student and i have received a letter saying they have my records however when i sign for classes online it says i need prerequisites i have already taken and so i tried getting a permit but their permit site is down. the registration processs is more confusing than anything and is very fustrating. Also to reach somebody by phone you have to wait absolutely forever before you may get a hold of someone, it is rediculous.Jon McCarthy

Great college! I graduated in 2018 with my Bachelors in Biomedical Sciences. The faculty and staff are very warm and supportive. If you utilize your resources and are a hard working student you will prosper. Take advantage of the tutoring services and your Professors office hours when you can. The Biomedical Sciences staff is very supportive and will give you all the tools you need to succeed. There are so many great places to study if you don’t want to study in your dorm room or if you live off campus. The campus is very safe with 24 hour security. I lived on campus and I felt safe the entire time I was there. If you ever have an issue or concern there is always someone you can speak with. The school is always hosting events for students to participate in during their free time between classes and study breaks. I suggest that everyone try to get involved with a club or activity at Baptist because it allows you to connect with other students and have a break sometimes.Diamond Daniels

I’ve been here for a year now. I am a non-traditional student. I’m married and have three kids. This school has been so wonderful and supportive! The professors are so devoted to the student’s success too! The material is a lot harder than I was used to when I transferred here, but with discipline and time management I have caught up. The cafe is pricey- but other than that, I have nothing that I would change. They really go all out for students and are always doing some thoughtful kind of thing for us. I’m very thankful that I get the opportunity to attend this school.Jen Crunk

If you can this should be your last option school. It takes absolutely to long to become a nurse. It’s usually 2 years once you get into a program, but their program is actually like 2 years and 4 months. They handled the pandemic terribly. Everyone else school moved on, but Baptist is the only one that held their students back by extending graduation dates. They made sure they didn’t lose money though. I never understood how you can get no breaks, such as summer or anything, you go to school way more than other students at different nursing programs, but finish after them.Mathie Zone

100% one the best choices I’ve ever made in life was to attend CBU for undergrad & grad school. These incredible professors believed in me when no one else did, including myself. Now, I desire to become a professor like the ones who’ve so lovingly and wisely imparted their knowledge and good attributes to me. Recommend strongly to anyone considering this university.Anthony Maranise

Pricey. Not worth taking out student loans for. Overall not a good investment for African Americans and 1st generation college students. Your achievement gap will be wide due to you being an expensive quota just to get you there. If you have student loans on your financial aid package, run because its not a good ROI.Stacey Trotter

I am a current student and I dislike this school for many reasons. Campus is far too small, feels just like high school, majority of students are stuck up, arts department might as well be nonexistent… just to name a few.Shea Parker

I attend night classes here probably about 1 or 2 months ago. It was well worth it. Instructors care and answer any questions you may have. They will even stay a little late to help work on a skill you didn’t understand. If you are paying out of pocket you can make payments as many times as you would like while in class just make sure you pay in full before you head off to clinicals. The difference is all the instructors care about you passing and succeeding. If you are serious about getting your foot in the door this is the place to go! The classmates were great and super friendly, we all still keep in touch! I got a job within 3 weeks as a CNA.amelia strickland

This School was so good and really worked with me when I was out sick. They set a day aside so I can complete my skills I missed and help me get my certificate. If you pass the class the instructor will set up your State test for you. They even summarize the CNA book so you get only the best information and not the dead space in between. It worked for me.Kristin Dunn

this is a great school. i finished the program in 2015 and ms kay and ms brenda were wonderful in helping me to find a job. I will be beginning lpn school this year and ms brenda and ms kay wrote me wonderful letters of recomendation. I loved their cna program and I would recommend it to anybody!Nacaria Brown

My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 23 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Memphis, where all the apartments are, and I am not married. and I get in my room every day by 9:25 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally sleep. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. Yet still haunted at night by the nightmarish restrictions JobCorp holds and the horrid smell of rooms and declining hygiene of staff and students alike, their breath is a serious problem. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning, realizing I still have to deal with this place. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning until I realize I'm still at this emotionally unstable staff infested, same food from the week before, prison like place which shouldn't be called a Job Preparation center. It's ironic it's called that because the staff never admits their wrongs or do their jobs and edit student statements to make this dumpster fire of a place look good. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that if I left now it would bring me happiness. Also, I lay a card face down, Your move.DréCo Pone

People tend to get here 7 to 14 days after their second interview. But know that the situation here has some omission. When you get here you'll spend a month not in your trade, you'll then take two tests that are designed for you to fail. If you do faile you'll do 60 hours of basic reading and math until you do pass. No trade training though. Or very little at best. I thought I was out of the woods when I passed on the first try, but then there's the living conditions. Mold on the vents, consistently cold in the dorm even in January (on account of their wallets I'm sure) and a flu outbreak where it took my seven days to get any help even with a fever. And I'm a lucky one. There's a reason they can't meet their quotas, however I graduate in about a month, and I'll be leaving with all I came for and more, with a free trip back home. So it CAN work for you. Just be informed about the situation, and expect politics and diversions on the way. Strongly recommend Florida centers though.Tiras Carr

In one word ‘Impressive’ but here’s more… I have family members there, initially I was very mis-informed as to what Job Corps (JC) was about; I attended two orientations plus I did an on-site tour, each encounter was very professional and personable. This is a great opportunity for the younger generation to get a Great start on a Better future. My advice is for you to do your own assessment on what JC has to offer.. versus the false information, because this is a hidden gem for those needing directions to a better future. I challenge you to check this out AND share. More people should hear about the JC goodsCathy S

I went here from September of 2018-May 2019. Classroom: My instructor didn’t really “teach” but was available if questions needed to be answered. It was quite a chilled and laidback classroom setting. Curriculum was easy to follow. The coursework was pretty much laid out. Breaks: I really liked that we had our own lunch area at the back of the classroom because, well, there was no way I was going to the main cafeteria with that crowd. These people would not clean up after themselves and were extremely loud and chaotic. No way. Environment: Most of my classmates were respectable peers, however, the students at this school have issues. If you are a decent person that keeps to herself, beware— bootmouth thots run amok and will hate on you for absolutely no reason, hints of racism from foreign students and domestic students will be apparent and students belonging to certain programs will stick their nose up at you. 100% not joking nor exaggerating. Social depravity at its finest. Student Services: Hit or miss. It can be super crowded in there during January, May, and September. Please don’t go during these times unless you want your paperwork “misplaced”. I have no real complaints other than some of the staff seem to be mentally lacking and this could be crucial for requesting your diploma, transcripts or waiting to receive your check disbursements. Overall, Classroom: C+ Breaks: A Environment: F- Student Services: C Decent, (for the budget) school to get your foot in the door of whichever career choice you pursue.JustTerri

The employees here are very unprofessional and very much comfortable in doing whatever it is that they want they catch attitudes and make you jump through all kinds of hoops to get what you need. I was trying to get my test scores and as soon I finished testing I was told the test giver was gone for the day after 45 mins of raising suspicion and asking to speak with her boss she suddenly appears and gives me my test scores they speak to students here in a manner as if your incarcerated. Employees at this location lack proper etiquette when it comes to professionalism I tested at this location three times before I was informed that we could use a calculator for the math portion of test finally I pass the test when I used the calculator and was waiting on test scores so that I could sign up for classes in September at the covington location sadly I didn't make the deadline due to the test giver leaving for an hour and wasn't able to get all my paperwork in time for 2022 class year so I'll be attending classes fall of 2023 there needs to be an in-service given to the employes of tcat memphis on basic job responsibilities because you guys lack what it takes horriblyJAYE BURD

Seriously considering going anywhere else but tcat for education next semester. Idek what the curriculum is. Ive been in school for about a month. I havent learned anything useful. Cant buy school books because the schools certifying official went on vacation in the middle of certification. That lasted two weeks. Now that ive annoyed them into cooperation, apparently school funds and financial aid are late or have been pushed back due to my certification being processed late by the said certifying official. In addition to this Im being mislead by multiple tcat employees on fund availability. Online payment schedules havent been accurate. Im loosing bill money paying out of pocket and no school official ive talked to moves, genuinely cares, or helps unless i act out or until theres nothing they can do. And Maybe its because of the pandemic bt PLEASE HEED THIS WARNING If youre looking to attend a school your better off anywhere else.Jay Curtis

Great experience when I visited, clean facility and knowledgeable teachers, especially Zakiya Percy teaching Aviation Safety. Take her class you won't be disappointed!Carlin Bratcher

While most of the teachers and staff are cooperative with my enrollment im finding it difficult to officially start classes. I identify as a veteran and have been attending school for a little under a month. However ive been extremely frustrated and disappointed with veteran services. Nobody responds to calls and voicemails. The emails given aren't valid enough to maintain communication. And they only take appointments for in-person visits.As a student Class is cool but i cannot officially engage until benefits have been verified to VA. I anticipated school being a challenge but this isnt what i had in mind.Jay Curtis

Southwest is. great with assisting students and the staff is awesome. Excellent service and environment. I would rate them with 5 stars. Keep up the good work. It is greatly appreciated by many.Janet Hicks
