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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I sent my residency information two weeks ago and nothing is in my file! Classes start today but I can’t start because they have tuition as out of state. Also they had to have my JU transcripts as if the credits transferred because of a policy. I’m no longer going to this school. It’s bootleg and ghetto. They are slow about admissions process and don’t reach out about what we need. Even in the student portal there’s nothing that said I needed anything or that my residency information wasn’t received!No Name

Online school at Saint Johns river state is especially a scam but all the saint johns state college schools are trash. Online classes besides a select few are all run through third party sources in which u have to pay hundreds for on top of the already pricey classes in which the teachers do not do a single thing but wait for weeks after to grade assignments that aren’t auto graded by bots it’s crazy almost like these online teachers have a passive incomeVan Rippon

So far they've been able to help me with every problem I've had. I've only taken a few classes so far, but all of my professors have been great. Especially my Spanish professor, Dr. Gil makes learning so much fun. I would highly reccomend this professor if you decide to take Spanish to fulfill your language requirements.Caleb Kulpa

This is my Story: Being an International Student at Santa Fe College is the worst thing that can happen to you. Besides that your tuition is 3 times more just for being an immigrant, they don't offer scholarships. Why we are not allow to get help? because we are just seem as a profit. Also, we do not get the benefit to choose how many classes we want to take because we are "required" to be full-time. We can only take one class online for semester. This post is about my tuition and what they did to me at Santa Fe. I apply for a student loan because I couldn't pay the ridiculous amount of money, but what happened is that the "amazing people" at financial aid didn't processed my loan, so my classes got drop. I talked with everyone at Santa Fe for help, even trying a payment plan but the last day to add/drop classes just passed. I brought all my papers signed of my loan to financial aid, and they told me that nothing can be done to help me. They just play with me sending me to person to person making lose my time and nobody helped me. Whenever I went to cashier's office and told what my situation was this lady after treating me horrible told me "we don't care about your situation, we just need the $6,000 today or you can start saying "goodbye" to your visa. I feel really glad about the help that they didn't give me, by the end of this semester I am going to be back in Venezuela because they did nothing to help me keep my visa status. Thanks for nothing I might be kill at Venezuela 🙂Shakira Fadus

SF College is nice and affordable for local kids; however, they are not at all equipped to handle international students' concerns. Staff that students interact on a day to day basis are made up of mostly underpaid student workers, and their answer to every question is a default "No". It is really frustrating. You can immediately see and feel the difference between this small state college and your typical large, internationally experienced university. Nonetheless, in-house faculty do a decent job teaching courses. I can't say the same about Santa Fe's adjunct instructors. Some are truly clueless (though it is not their fault; poor adjunct instructors are so underpaid that it made my jaw drop when I heard how much they make per semester). As a student who wants to actually learn the material, your best bet would be to register early for courses based on the instructors offering them. Overall, Santa Fe College is an affordable stepping stone to a larger University, such as their next door neighbor UF. I suppose it would also be a nice option for regional kids from lower to middle-income families. But that's about all the credit I can give to Santa Fe College. Culturally, it is lacking diversity. Administratively, there are incompetence issues affecting students' daily lives.Leno Rosecan

Went there in 2012 right after HS from Orlando. I went there to hopefully transfer to UF. The system failed me. The guidance counselors did nothing to guide me, I got depressed there and failed. I was a very good student in high school(top 5% with both IB and AP-full coursework) until 12th grade a personal event happened and I stopped attending and starting failing but still graduated. This is why I had to go to SF college as my gpa dropped to be able to to to UF. I had a 2030 on the SAT in HS as well. I was highly able to do well at SF but they failed me by not giving proper guidance or support and it ruined my whole college career as they didn’t accept my appeals for late withdrawal and I was stuck with a horrible GPA that ruined my life.Anonymous Someone

Horrible experience!! Everybody is supposed to be young adults however my daughter was bullied and they did nothing!!! Correction, when my daughter made threats to her tormentors so they would back off the school had a officer call me and she began yelling at me, really verbally assulting me about how bad of a mother I was! This woman was completely disrespectful. They called DCF on me and the guy who shows up at my house says the principle remarked that I sounded lethargic during our phone call which made me feel like she was suggesting that I didn't care or was high (which btw I am a single mom working a full time job overnight while school personnel are sleeping only to come home in enough time to get my kids ready and off to school before I can sleep!!!!!😑) 2 days after the incident they removed my daughter from school and baker acted (put her in a mental institution against her will) her!!! They told me this after they did it so I had to find her. At least the male officer who took her to the institution was careful with his words and respectful towards me. She was alone and scared in a locked room for 2 days without her shoestrings, bra (her underwire is considered a weapon) or phone before being evaluated and immediately released after their psych doctor found nothing wrong with her. It was tearfully agonizing for us; Meanwhile her bullies got to remain in school UNPUNISHED and the school personnel involved never apologized for what they put us through. The end result was another blow to her confidence and ability to trust people and she stopped going to classes to get prepared for her GED. Please consider our nightmare before enrolling your child as this was the best path they chose to handle my child's situation. I swear I don't know how they sleep at night knowing how they failed her!! EDITED: Your response is incorrect. This happened to my daughter at the mid florida oakridge campus a few years back. Now that I have become a guide I wanted to leave this review of what happened to my family because of your school. I as well as that campus the police, the mental facility and dcf have paperwork concerning the situation.Katrina Williams

I went in today on April 20th to register for school the man at front desk was not a greeter of new students at all. He was on the phone and acted as if his personal phone conversation was more important than being of any assistance to providing me with what the school offered. He wasn't informative of what the school offered. I went to ask he a question and he acted as if I was a bother too him while being rude to others as he spoke to them. He replied very rudely when I told him that I needed his undivided attention to explain too me about the program. He goes WHAT DO YOU NEED! I TOLD HIM IT SEEMS LIKE YOUR PHONE CALL IS MORE IMPORTANT! HE GOES IN A RUDE VOICE EXPLAINING THE PROGRAM . CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ASSIST ME WITH APPLYING FOR CLASSESNikki Real

I applied online, did all the steps and applied for FAFSA but couldn’t get ahold of anyone there. They let the phone ring until they finally send it straight to voicemail. Someone picked up first ring but all I heard was a woman breathing and mumbling to herself completely ignoring me after I acknowledged myself multiple times. Super unprofessional of OTC to expect so much money for these programs but can’t even give us a call back.tamar Collington

I appreciate Rasmussen University for having an abundance of resources and many professors and other staff members who demonstrate they want students to succeed. I especially have enjoyed being a peer educator, being privileged to work with Tammy Hopps who is an excellent supervisor and leader, and also being able to work with other peer educators who care for their peers as much as I do. I transferred from a local state college, which I considered sticking with to save money, but in reality, not much is saved when you compare the timeframe for graduation. At the state college it would take me an extra 2 whole years to receive my BSN, whereas at Rasmussen I save 2 years of time because of their second-degree BSN option. I am very pleased with the quality of technology – at the state school blackboard and other resources were slow and did not work as well on my cell phone, whereas with Rasmussen I can easily access everything I need from my phone when I'm on the go. It's inspiring to see so many single parents and married parents in school, some of which also work full time or part time like myself while completing their degree. Highly recommend!HappyNessa11:11& Family

I had such high hopes when enrolling at this school. However my experience hasn't been favorable at all. I am a current student and I was disappointed because even though I was able to enroll and start classes I really felt unsupported on this journey. I'm realizing Rasmussen may not be the school for me. I REALLY thought I would be supported and encouraged. I was made to feel that Rasmussen would be rooting for me through my academic journey. Instead I am bombarded with emails and calls telling me what I already know… I owe money. No calls or emails about how I can be helped to budget so that I can pay more toward the balance. I'm only being told: what I owe, to get the balance down to $500-$1000 and to take out loans; which will only put me in debt and it's too early to be taking out loans when I've been in school since September of 2021 and have 2 more years. Also this school doesn't cater to single parents, limited income and individuals that HAVE to work. This school ONLY has day classes for the nursing program and as I said before I HAVE to work full time.Sherria Clark

This morning I called the university for the North Orlando Campus for the Nursing program and spoke to the director of Nursing who was discusstingly rude on the phone. I called to get information, He had no patience and told me Not to proceed a career in Nursing because it was Not for me. This was a university that I was so excited to be a part of and be a graduate of Nursing. The director needs to be Fired because he is giving the university a bad reputation. To whom it may concern please take this review into consideration and hire a new director of Nursing for the program.Georgia Conde

This school makes you want to give up on Pursuing a degree. I have never had so much trouble, issues or headaches dealing with any other school like I have this one. You are treated very poorly by most, close to all of the employees. There has been multiple times they requested information for my financial aid and my transcripts and every time I go in and turn the information they still say they didn’t receive it until I have to argue with them and then it’s “oh I have it right here” I was supposed to start classes MONTHS ago and every time I think I’m there they pull something else out the hat. I went in weeks ago to turn in my additional verification for financial aid and then walk in a week before classes start just for them to tell me “ oh we don’t have it you need to fill it out again” after some pushing they take the time to search and find out they do have it and it never was submitted. Now I have the school calling me because classes are about to start asking for money because they haven’t heard from financial aid and trying to drop me from starting my class because of their mistake. I call financial aid then they tell me oh we can’t help you because it doesn’t look like you have ever been enrolled (I have my student ID and my class schedule by the way and enrolled for early child care management) and that I need to contact admissions. I call them only to be met with such disrespectful employees with no sympathy in helping with the problem. Finally was told a supervisor would call me back and never heard from her. This school is a complete let down and makes you just want to give up like your fighting a losing battle. If I ever get to start my first class I’m scared to see how the teachers are considering out of the many people I’ve talked to there maybe only 1-2 that was kind of decent or slightly helpful. If I could give them zero stars I would. T. NobleAlexis Noble

They offer higher education at an affordable cost. Get your stuff done months before open registration so you're not stressing last minute! They offer and try to bring "the student life" to campus. REMINDER this is NOT A UNIVERSITY – so they can only offer you so much with sports, clubs, and programs due to funding but what they have is good. They do offer lots of programs, scholarships, and dual enrollment courses. I've had a great experience with Polk State Winter Haven for the past years. If you have no idea what to major in they will say stick with AA liberal arts (general courses) so you can transfer to a 4 year UNI. The campus is easy to navigate for first time students. This does not have 5 stars due to the cafeteria/event hours. What they offer for morning/day students is a lot more then what they offer for evening/night students. Professors overall are great. Online courses are also offered.Professional Reviewer

The staff at the WH campus is entirely unhelpful. They give you wrong information every time you have an issue that needs to be addressed. Most professors I’ve had at WH PSC campus have been rude and not helpful. The professors at the JD Alexander Center are much more helpful, understanding and nice to work with. The advisors at the JD Alexander Center are amazing, Faith and Warren are so helpful and kind. PSC has double charged me for tuition every semester; I’ll pay the amount of tuition I am responsible for (as I use FL Prepaid) and then the same amount of money I’m responsible for will be taken out of my student loans even though the remainder of tuition has already been paid for. I don’t have the easiest time getting someone from Financial Aid on the phone, and I have yet to receive an answer as to why I’m being double charged for tuition, semester after semester.Toni G

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

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

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

Where to even start ?! First, Doctor Vega thank you for making my labor literally painless to the point the baby was out in 20 minutes and we were laughing and joking between pushes ! Nurse Nadine, you are amazing as well. My labor was so personal just Nadine and Dr.Vega with my fiancé and I. The epidural they gave me was so strong I didn’t feel a thing! From the moment I got admitted due to low amniotic fluid , to the very first nurse in triage who hugged me and said I would be okay, to the PA telling me I saved my baby’s life by knowing to come in after not feeling her move much one evening at 37 weeks and 5 days…. Every single interaction down to the people who come in and change your trash felt so personal and genuine. Many meals we didn’t pay for at all, not even my fiancé. Free mental health consult, free lactation consultant (Rachel is amazing ) who came back twice and literally taught me how to do everything, even pump. amazing food, comfy beds, suites with your own bathrooms , 24/7 attentive care from all staff. Not a single bad interaction with anyone. Mala on mama and baby floor was absolutely amazing and sweet, she was the most memorable one to me, she is a very warm and caring nurse. Jenny as well! Jenny helped me change my pads out and really felt like having my own mother there with me. Everyone said congratulations and made me feel at home. We even had to stay a fourth night due to baby having jaundice and they fought to make sure we didn’t have to switch rooms. Walk in warm showers, free aftercare supplies for mama and baby. It makes me want to have another baby just to come back ! Thank you Winnie Palmer and staff for making the scariest most exciting time of our life feel like home. I will never forget these very first moments in this place.Our night nurse Karen also helped us a lot and recommend giving baby binky while she was under photo therapy and now my baby latches better during feeding. I am so sad to leave tomorrow. I’m genuinely so grateful for this experience. Love this hospital.Mar

I don’t even know where to begin with this hospital. when my wife myself and my daughter arrived and checked in we were told that my daughter which is 11 could not stay overnight and had to leave before visiting hours were over. I asked several nurses about this and it was just point blank she can’t be here. so I informed them the only person in the family who could watch my daughter was my mother who is currently just admitted into another hospital with a pneumonia. I informed the staff that there is nobody to supervise my daughter so either I had to take her home and miss my son being born and not being there for my wife or that they through calling child family services on me because she’s there. Very nasty very short planning simple very unprofessional I understand rules are rules but also to if there’s nobody to watch my daughter you put me in a situation to stress out my wife that’s pregnant and myself and make my daughter feel unwanted. my wife came in to be induced and on her charts they put that she went into spontaneous labor because she was severely obese. Which is in accurate because we came in to be induced The staff on the fifth floor all of them very unprofessional very rude cold I can’t say I was about to literally check out of there because this was turned into such a big ordeal. I will be filing a complaint in grievance with the AHCA for an accurate charting reports. Also I will contact the BBB. This is hands-down the worst experience I’ve ever had in a hospital. we were so excited to find out we were going to Winnie Palmer because of word of mouth. But just be cautious and be aware of what’s going on in this hospital. However after this review I will be nominating at least two nurses and the anesthesiologist for recognition on the second floor which one above and beyond which was Sarah, Emily, and her anesthesiologist they were amazing they kept me calmDavid Becker

From beginning to end this place was wonderful . I came in to be induced a week early . All of the nurses were incredibly nice and attentive and constantly trying to make sure I had everything I needed and was comfortable . The food here was really good too . Hospital food being good has to be mentioned !!! Lol being induced was a little tricky . My body didn't want to do everything as it should but they were able to inform me, give me options, and were patient with me . My labor process ended up being pretty nearly painless even before any kind of IV or epidural help . Must have been lucky ! Obviously near the end it got worse . Once we started the delivery process I was able to get my beautiful baby boy out within two contractions with their help and instructions . Of course my OB was there too . Natasha Spencer . I absolutely love her . There was one night nurse on the postpartum floor that was kind of rude and didn't really want to come into my room . She was the one nurse that didn't introduce herself or anything . But honestly besides her , this was all perfect . I cannot mention enough how they try to make sure you are comfortable during your visit . And want to make sure you get the most out of your experience . They are filled with so much knowledge and are more than ready and willing to share to help you when you leave the hospital as well . They even helped me find a pediatrician . Thank you guys so much for everything . I had the greatest experience . I loved it !Yvonne Ferrentino

The school has absolutely been ran down into the ground. It was bad when I was there but now it's even worse. As a graduating student I suggest you spend your money elsewhere because it is not worth the hassle, the time, or the broken promises that are promised to you before graduating School. As a graduating student I was promised that I would be able to go back to the school whenever I was able to have the time to during the classes or the labs to be able to practice well lo and behold that is by far not the truth. And to receive comments of it's paying students before graduating students is unacceptable and very unprofessional. That sounds like discrimination at his best and I am still waiting a call back from the dean to be able to discuss the matter. Which I still have not received a call back. Not only have all the best teachers left the school, but they have also pushed away a lot of good teachers that should still be there. A lot has changed even since when I was going there but to be honest a lot has changed to where I don't want to go back even as a graduating student to be able to practice for where I need to be.Rachel Phillips

Halfway through my program which cost 20k they decided to switch to online learning. Of course using COVID as an excuse but this came probably the day after the governor lifted the mandates. This is after falsely advertising “hands on” education. I tried to switch classes explaining that it is very difficult to learn a skilled trade on a computer screen and was sent to the dean. She very kindly told me that if I didn’t like it I could just drop out. Leaving me financially responsible for a degree I didn’t receive and knowledge I did not learn. Two weeks into these hybrid classes the instructor sleeps at his desk the days we are in class and today he never showed. If you care about your education and money run away from this place. They enroll you on all these promises of a wonderful school. What you really get is old dirty buildings. Overcrowded classrooms. Antique tools and equipment that are broken and falling apart.B s

I made the biggest mistake of my life enrolling in this school. I enrolled in the veterinary assisting program and at least at my campus in Orlando we weren’t very hands on with anything when I got to my new place of work I had knowledge of things but couldn’t actually demonstrate anything because we didn’t have any practice in my school. Students would go in smelling like dope because the campus is on orange blossom trail I didn’t feel safe doing night classes. And the thing that has frustrated me the most is that you don’t really get a real degree. You get a certification that you have to renew every year or so that gains you absolutely no status at a vets office. You start just like anyone else who doesn’t have experience. Which means I could’ve just applied at a vets office with no experience and probably still gotten hired. If you’re looking to waste your money and time go for it.Elizabeth garza

I had a great experience here with my induction/labor/delivery. As a first time mom, I had no idea what to expect, and I have to say that it turned out to me much better than what I ever imagined. The whole process itself was very smooth, and the nurses/doctors were not only very professional but extremely friendly and personable and were very respectful of all my birth wishes. I really appreciated that. The recovery after delivery was very comfortable and in a very modern, almost hotel-style room. My baby and I were continuously checked on, and they really tried to make me feel more confident about being a new mom. My only regret is not staying the extra night I could have had! Overall, wonderful experience. I’d definitely use them again.Ashleigh Markel

Overall I had a great stay at AdventHealth Orlando. I was scheduled for a C-section but my little guy came a few days early. The whole process of getting me admitted and prep for my C-section went smoothly. The doctors were friendly and informed me about the whole process. Recovery went well too. The nurses checked on me consistently. The only thing I would recommend for improvement would be the meals and the lactation consultants. After I had my baby I didn’t see a lactation consultant until the next day. I think it’s important to see a lactation consultant periodically throughout the day to assist Moms with breast-feeding.Rebecca McKoy

Uterine cancer Dr Holloway and his team along with the nurses were top notch. They answered and took care of me as if I was family. The hospital has morning prayer to begin the day which is such a blessing. The other staff at the hospital we’re wonderful as well registration testing guiding us around how to get from point a to b the food was wonderful and I never once had to ask for help after surgery they checked in on me constantly. The waiting room for family kept family members aware of were I was during surgery and recovery. The outside garden was beautiful and peaceful Thank you so much and God Bless you alllisa garrett

If you want to become a CNA, this is your place to go! I passed my state exam and I couldn’t make it to my last two refresher courses, which tells you how well they teach you in class and have hands on training with great instructors. I also want to say that the online prep course is awesome! I got to practice the written test and saw the videos of each skill to refresh my memory(best thing ever) Thank you Gabriel Health Institute and ALL the faculty members who helped me throughout everything!! Will definitely recommend to everyone looking to become a CNA!Christie Hernandez

I had such a great experience. The service is definitely an A+. I took the evening class and I'm very pleased with the class and the Instructor Ms.Maria, she is very patient, explains everything in detail and was always willing to answer all our questions making sure that all the students have the chance to practice the skills and do it correctly. I have to add that Ms. Rosa is also very good and a great person. My personal experience overall was excellent.Carmen Acosta

This school was great and I'd highly recommend it to others. It's very affordable and informative. Marcella is a very good instructor and informs you on all the dos and donts..she tries her best with everyone of the students to ensure we learn as much as we can. I enjoyed being in the class and getting to meet new people..thank you for the opportunity afforded to me.Louise Thomas

I think a 1 star review is generous. I went for my BSN and one term in (8 weeks) we were told that the program is 90% the student and 10% the staff. Most of what you get from staff is power point presentations. That is when you are not doing the teaching based on a group project. And you have one of those every 8 weeks, having to depend on people for your grade and knowledge. They brag about a low drop out rate. That is a joke. It is low because it costs so much and, like all other schools of this nature, nothing transfers. So they "let you" return to repeat the term and continue. (You pay for the repeat which is why I put it in quotations) The person that arranges the clinical rotations, and ultimately handles your volunteer hour documentation, is beyond unorganized. She will lose things and send you notification you did not turn something in even if you hand it directly to her. And her excuse is she has so much going on, not my problem especially for the amount I paid for tuition. They make you feel like if you complain about anything it will be held against you. I would not recommend this school. But in all honesty there probably isn't one of these schools that would be much different.Michelle Ford Gonsowski

I had an outstanding experience with the Physical Therapist Assistant program. Every member of the PTA faculty is highly experienced, very personable, and really goes above and beyond in providing students with a high quality learning experience that definitely exceeded my expectations. As an accelerated medical program, the workload is very heavy making working while going to school very challenging. The benefit however is finishing the program earlier and working as a PTA sooner. In addition to providing you with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in the field of physical therapy, the program does a great job of preparing you for the board exam as well as helping you find a job afterwards if needed. I’m very happy I made the decision to attend Herzing University for PTA and would recommend it to any highly motivated person interested in becoming a Physical Therapist Assistant.Mitch Pottinger

I am an alumni from the Herzing University- Winter Park Physical Therapist Assistant Program. Each step of the way the staff and faculty are 100% supportive of your goals! With the PTA program in particular, the program faculty and director truly care about your success in the program as well as in your career. Their passion for teaching and physical therapy is evident in their teaching EVERY DAY! I successfully passed my national exam my first time taking it and felt adequately prepared to take the exam and more importantly to practice physical therapy. I was offered a job prior to graduation. If you are considering a career in physical therapy this program will prepare you for a long, rewarding and successful career. #Cohort 13 for the win!Kelly Graham

From the day I walked in the school all I ever experienced was positivity. Everyone were so professional and respectful. Professor Jenny is the best!!! But you better pay attention in her classes😘😘😘 she makes it fun and exciting to learn. Gitsy who is in charge of school is amazing!!! She makes sure you are heading for success. My advice for everyone are go to class on time, pay attention, study!!! And get involved in class. Everything she thought me was in my final exam!!! If you looking to advance your future there's no other way but ……IT Technical Florida👍👍👍👍Marceline Siril

I just want to share the experience that I had with I.T. Of Central Florida because they honestly do go above and beyond! The teachers are all very professional, knowledgeable, and make you feel as a part of their family. The classes are very straight forward and enjoyable, and if you ever have any doubts or questions the teachers are always there to help and guide you through every step of the way! The facility is very tidy, well kept, and clean! It’s a very enjoyable learning atmosphere and I am so glad I decided to go with them!!Katherine Harriette

I love this school! The prices are reasonable and the teacher is very well experienced and knows the material. She goes hand and hand with every subject, if by any chance you dont you don't understand something, she goes over it with more details. She's bilingual so when I dont understand something, she repeat it in Spanish. Professor Yenny is the best for medical assistant!stephanie rondon

This is a "Christian university," which is why I choose to come here and I was the class chaplain for the ultrasound program. AHU (formerly ADU) is far from mercy or grace. I made 2 C's and have been completely dismissed from the program forever (one new and experimental course not required for ultrasound-pediatrics)… 3 years and $30k debt later with 1 required class left, I cannot graduate. I went to the admissions director explaining the circumstances. Basically, I was told their decision stands. Something is very wrong about this situation. My family and 3 children are worst off from AHU. I had to deal with major health issues (and marital) that are now reasonably stable and have been completely withdrawn from the program with one required class remaining to be registered as a sonographer. We may seek legal action against them. I'm a disabled veteran that developed a rare condition and was finally properly diagnosed while attending the program. It was a nightmare trying to go to medical appointments, etc. They treat young and old alike, like children. The program looks for reasons to drop your grade… An example would be the routine checks to look at your home and class notes, books, etc If you don't meet their standard, they take away from your professional integrity grade. The people leading the program are careless/ruthless. The year before last we went through a hurricane with property damage. While all schools were out, mine was in session leaving no time to prepare my home and family… Same thing following the hurricane… we were back in classes being quizzed/tested while public schools had no schooling in session. I was told life happens and in healthcare you must be able to keep up… No excuses… No empathy… I explained there was no power or fuel in my area for over a week, needing to clean up, property damage… Still didn't care. Realistically, someone in my situation could have called out of work opposed to running off on the family having little food, fuel and a damaged home/property to run off school. Sadly, one student who performed well on all their quizzes and tests even came to class to take a quiz with a concussion… No joke! They didn't do well, but it was better than having their grade significantly reduced or receiving an F all together… The negative experiences are endless. Do yourself a favor, if you are determined to enter the ultrasound field, this is not a school to attend. Consider Valencia, Keiser, SantaFe. There was over a 50% fail/drop rate for the class of 2017 (I'm writing this in 2019… would have graduated with the class of 2019) and I'm talking about nearly straight-A students that were hand selected for a program with this high fail rate, which is a testament for this program. We are not dealing with students that don't know how to study or manage themselves. When the program was going through re-certification, we were told what we could and couldn't say… They expressed a concern of the courses having way too much content. Often you'll sit through three hours of lectures and then for the same class have another two to three hours of material to go through in online lectures… I don't know how they got away with only making many of the courses three credit hours. My curriculum changed several times spending money and taking class that were not required because the program kept changing; AHU does not refund unnecessary classes they tell you to take and then drops them as requirements. They do not respect you or your responsibilities as a student or as parent and will not look out for you. I've been to some of the best colleges in Florida: Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, Stetson and Asbury Seminary. I've also attended Daytona State college and by far AdventHealth University is the worst experience I've ever had… specifically their ultrasound program. Keep in mind I'm a middle aged adult with a bachelor's of science and a masters with 4 classes remaining to complete my second masters degree. Avoid this schoolJan Vandermark

I was lucky enough to attend both AHU In Florida and Denver. the staffing Florida seem to actually care and go above and beyond for the students who put the work in. they were very well equipped with drop-in tutoring, helpful library, and flexible teacher hours. Denver was not like this. when I left ahu they did not have a nursing teacher in place;instead had the principal overextend herself to not only teach but continue her job as principal with help of a old nursing friend (with no teaching experience whatsoever). they did not have a library or any official tutoring hours except for a student-run tutoring session held over Skype. also keep in mind that you will be barely any financial assistance considering that the Denver campus is barely set up as a Colorado college therefore is not accepting Colorado Pell Grant or any other Colorado grants or financial assistance. I was paying almost 7000 a trimester, 5000 out of pocket with FASFA help. then there was the religious stigmas and relationships within the school. the only way I can describe the situation was.. think of mean girls. the religious, varsity, I'm-better-then-you white women. that is the people running this campus. all women are over 50 years old, religious, gossiping, and judgmental. if you are not exactly what they want you to be, you will experience discrimination, bullying, and gossip. I never felt comfortable there talking to any of them about any situations I was having in my life because of the energy The faculty gave off. so if you are a uptight, well off, Christian who can devote the next four years to learning everything from the book because there are no teachers to help you; then this is the school for you, otherwise there is many other schools that are better prepared to help you become a real world nurse.Sierra Freemyer

I am a current student at Adventist University and I do not regret my decision. I have finished my first year of college and can tell you that the professors care about the students and are always available to speak with you with open arms. The staff is friendly and helpful and make it their duty to help you as best as they can. The campus is clean and great and not to mention how it is right next to the Florida Hospital which gives students chances to get that hands on experience. It is great knowing you are surrounded by people who have a similar passion for helping people and an interest in health science professions.sAga99

I have probably been going to training through Tony Renta, since before I became an RN through word of mouth and continued thereafter (RN for 10 years this coming year). Was so thrilled when he started his company. They have always had excellent communication about schedule availability and been willing to accommodate as I travel as well as being night shift. They have an excellent knowledge base and are patient in helping you understand the concepts. I've done many classes with Bobby and he's wonderful! Excellent customer service, and are quick and timely with facilitating getting your cards. I will keep going back and sending people their way!Asha Alexander

I have used this company for recertification renewal and as a resource for the last few years and couldn't be more impressed with their professionalism. They are excellent at providing their training in a timely and efficient manner that really works for those of us that work in the industry. The knowledge and experience the instructors bring to the table is remarkable and is reflected in their presentations. As a former AHA instructor, I was impressed with how the instructors simplified the whole process which resulted in more students leaving the class with a good understanding of the material and not just a certification.Jeff Morlen

I have used On-Call Training Solutions a few times now and the experience is always exceptional. I reached out to Tony to schedule for my renewal and not only did he respond right away, but he also had me scheduled for a class that same week! Bobby was the perfect instructor. He provided updates that were released since my past renewal, detailed clean overviews of all topics related to my ACLS/BLS/PALS certifications, and was timely in sending my certification cards. Always great customer service, a great class, and outstanding communication. Highly recommend to everyone and I will be back in two years!Samantha Huron

Jeffrey Socrates was my instructor for the AHA BLS Provider class. His teaching was very focused and supportive. He highlighted all of the important facts that was essential to the written and skills test. He made sure my technique in performing cpr and rescue breaths in adults, children, and infants were perfect, and I felt confident in everything I was doing. I would definitely have him again as my instructor when I have to renew my certification. You are a great teacher!Grace Taylor

My instructor was named Jeffery Socrates. His course was amazing, he helped me throughout the whole process from beginning to end. He was very open to answering all of my questions and explained everything to me in detail. I recommend taking his course for a great BLS experience. I learned a lot of stuff that I didn't know before when it came to rescuing potential victims.Dotted Patato

This was my first time taking the AHA BLS class and it was a great time. The class was very informative but the instructor made it very engaging and kept the scenarios exciting. I would highly recommend Jeffrey Socrates if you are looking to get or renew your BLS certification.Derick Duval

I am privileged to be a Florida Academy of Nursing alumna; graduate of both the ASN, and now more recently, BSN programs. This nursing school is exceptional and stands out with its unique mission to nurture the whole student and provide a comprehensive community of support. From start to finish of the student journey the FAN team is welcoming, encouraging, accommodating, and supportive. When you join FAN you become part of the family. It is truly where everybody knows your name. The staff and faculty are deeply invested in the development and growth of all its students, and work tirelessly to help them achieve success. Knowledgeable instructors and small class sizes provide uniquely personalized and immersive learning experiences. The course curricula are challenging, engaging, and thought-provoking; encouraging students to become positive innovators of change in the communities they will serve.Kayla Wright

FAN is a great school. One thing I must remind future students who will be attending FAN is that they expect their students to put in the time to read, do their homework and understand the material, and I will tell you why…… Nurses must be professional and are at the center of the patient’s health care team. In some instances, nurses are expected to know more about how their patients are doing than the attending physician. So if you don’t understand why FAN requires excellence in nursing then you will have a difficult time at this wonderful nursing school that treats everyone with respect and treats everyone as family.Gage Mon

I am a former student of Florida Academy of Nursing other wise known as FAN. My experience at FAN was great the faculty at FAN are exceptional they go above and beyond for their students they know each and everyone of us by name and they are very nurturing and groom us for the nursing world , I was able to get a job as a LNP right out of nursing school thanks to my training from FAN. As One of my favorite quotes of FAN is “the best way to predict the future is to create it” – so here’s to a FAN -tastic future that we’ll create together. Thank you FAN for helping me to create my futurecamelle adams

READ THIS BEFORE YOU APPLY TO THE LPN PROGRAM I am making this post because I don’t want anyone else having to go into this Without knowing exactly what this program and school are like. 1. If you are expecting to pay for someone to actually teach you, this is not the place for you. The teachers here literally do not want to teach, probably because they have no idea how to. Only one of the actually cared, and when she lectured, we actually learned and had class discussions about the topics at hand. The rest would either A) split up part of a chapter and have the class make posters all day and then present to the class, B)split up a chapter (med surg chapters, so think disorders, nursing interventions, and meds, pretty important stuff that I don’t believe students who have no prior knowledge or experience should be teaching other students in the same class, isn’t that why the instructors are there for?) There were unfortunately very few times that we got a lecture. 2. The head teacher is a bully, and she likes to play favorites. Lord help you if you get on her bad side. Singles out students, makes fun of them, talks about them to OTHER STUDENTS behind their backs. Certain rules apply to certain students but not others because she likes them. If you end up enrolling, do not trust her. She likes to power trip. A lot. If she doesn’t get her way, she will play dirty till she does, and all the other teachers, including people above her seem scared of her for some reason. 3. Grades are messed with. If you do or say anything that upsets a certain someone, grades mysteriously suffer, and this isn’t just coming from student experience. People in the office warned us about her and the grades. 4. They are just as bad at teaching skills as they are lecturing. Complete disorganization. No demonstrations. We were told to read the book and figure it out. If we asked them a question, they would yell at us to look in the book. It was all in the book. The book was our teacher. Some students asked if they could please demonstrate for the class first and then have us practice, they would say no. “That’s not the way it works in the real world” or “no one is going to show you how to do this in the hospital, if you don’t know, you have to go and figure it out”. Yeeeaaa… pretty sure patients and their families don’t want you to “figure it out” at the hospital, but ok. 5. Speaking of skills, let’s talk about clinicals. So, you learned all these skills in class, and clinical is the time to get your hands dirty and reinforce the skills you learned, right? Nope! Can’t give shots, can’t pass med, can’t take vitals, can’t do anything, except practice CNA skills. We saw other nursing students from other schools get assigned to a nurse and do everything with the RN, but not us. We were not allowed to. 6. Although the school promotes itself as a “college”, expect to be treated like a middle schooler. While I do understand that there are dual enrollment students at the school (high schoolers), that is no reason to treat grown adult student like children. You will be talked down to. A LOT. Literally no respect whatsoever. Sometimes you even forget that you are an adult in this place. Valencia and Seminole also have dual enrollment, and everyone is treated in a professional manner, regardless of your age, so that is no excuse. 7. Let’s talk pharmacology. Very important in nursing. We never ever ever EVER had a single pharmacology lecture. AT ALL! Never! All we got were packets. That’s it. So that pharm class on your class schedule, forget about it. Doesn’t exist. The meds we did learn, we learned in the med surg chapters. That was the extent of our exposure to pharm. I wanted to write this so other people know exactly what they are getting into, because I wish I had known, so I could have made an informed decision (run!!!) There was so very little information available, and had I known about the toxic environment that I would be getting myself into, I would have never ever gone to this “college”.Flo Nighting

If I could give them a zero star I would!! DO NOT I repeat DO NOT waste your time with this school !!! it's a JOKE. The staff downstairs are a whole bunch of liars and have no ideas what they are talking about half of the time. I took accounting with a teacher that is not certified to teach! she does nothing but sit on her computer and look at houses all day. when I registered for this school I was told that I will have an professor that will actually teach me accounting and go over everything with me. We teach our self! EVERYTHING we do is ONLINE!!! but they want you to sit here for 900 hours!!! and it's doesn't matter if your child is sick or if you have court YOU HAVE TO MAKE ALL OF THE HOURS UP! so please don't waste you time. there is a similar school in the area that offer the same programs as this school. I wish I went there instead!!!Francisca Joseph

I am NEVER a person to leave feedback no matter how unprofessional one is . But this school is HORRIBLE &VERY unprofessional !! I applied for surgical tech and completed the paperwork & medical for this program back January 2021. In May I begin to email BOTH instructors over this program to see what date in August will I be able to start so after multiple emails and phone calls I was finally able to speak to front desk who advised me that they're still accepting people from 2019 for surgical .Why do they still have it open if their that backed up ??like I could have chose a different program.Then The instructor called me and said we don't have your paperwork on file and that I need to come back down to resubmit it. Like whatttt??? .Jah'Nyce Floyd

I received excellent care and treatment for a very bad right shoulder injury. Steven and Christine worked diligently for 3 months to help me regain use and restore strength to my shoulder and arm. They are very dedicated professionals who genuinely care about their patients and recovery. The front desk personnel were always cheerful and provided medical insurance information when I needed it. I highly recommend the Ability Rehabilitation located at 801 N. Orange Avenue, Orlando, FL. I am truly thankful for Steven and Christine's physical therapy expertise and dedication for my successful recovery. Maggie BomwellMaggie Bomwell

The entire staff is very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. I was in for wrist therapy, and I mainly worked with Kristine. When I started, I had little confidence that I would be able to play golf again. However, with every session, at-home exercises, and motivation from Kristine, I was able to play golf again and feel confident using my wrist through its full range of motion. Rachel, who did my intro and exit evaluations, is also very knowledgeable and helpful. Her and Kristine make an excellent team.Brandon Lee

I had a great experience at Ability Rehab. I had a shoulder issue, and they knew exactly what to do to bring back my range of motion. Everyone was very friendly and professional. They are all top notch physical therapists, and I highly recommend them! Thank you, Melissa!Debbie Halye
