20 Best Rn Programs In Palm Bay, 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

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

This school is some sort of racket, I would recommend looking elsewhere to receive your degree. The school’s “academic advisors” are actually the program directors and professors, so they have a personal interest in what classes they put you in and won’t let you choose or advocate for yourself. Because of this, they are also not interested in solving problems you may face because then they’d have to take responsibility for them. The TAs barely know what they’re supposed to be instructing you in, and will get flustered if you have a question and do the work for you instead of actually teaching you to be self-sufficient. Additionally, the course descriptions are severely lacking and you will find that the instruction for nearly all classes feels very clandestine and disorganized. There is no transparency or way to make an informed decision at this “school”. For those living on campus in student housing, you may experience mold, insects, and furniture caked in animal hair. The school will not put effort into remedying this. The cafeteria food is abysmal after the first week of classes. There is a large foreign student population at this school, FIT may be relying on their newness to the States in order to maintain their poor standards. For those of us who value receiving a first-world and excellent education, I suggest NOT ATTENDING FLORIDA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY.K Washington

First. This place has its ups & downs. But one thing’s for sure, they provide quality education as good as Ivy leagues. 80% of Professors are great at teaching. Some will even be the reason youre passionate about you’re major. Downside to this place is the QS ranking(doesn’t exist on there). But they make up to that by being well known in the community & having connections with big engineering companies. I graduated may2020 with an Bsc in ME. & am now getting my masters at UCI in MAE. Let me tell you I study with students from berkely & UCSD & I am just as knowledgeable as they are or even better at times. One of the downsides is the extremely expensive university housing which you’re forced as an international student to stay in for 1 year. Wish FIT imvested a bit more on better parking lol. Best 4 years of my life. Even though Melbourne is extremely boring. Orlando & miami are 1 & 2:30 hours away. Don’t ever estimate the quality of education FIT is providing. I once did & now know better. Take up that panther 🐆 pride. One last thing. You’ll get to see rockets 🚀 taking off every couple weeks from campus. Nasa & cape canaveral are 40mins away.Khaled AlSamri

Florida Tech has been my home away from home. The energy the place and the people have is unique and would say that I am as happy as I can be here at Florida Tech. Ever since I started attending school here I felt like my education and wellness was more than covered. It has given me connections and friendships that will last forever and I will forever be grateful to have chosen Florida Tech. My professors have always been caring and helpful and I have never felt like I didn't belong here. I loved the community and how many different clubs and organizations they have, so socializing has been an easy part as well. Overall I don't think I could have chosen a better experience than attending Florida Tech.Daniel Lopez Esser

I have nothing but great things to say about this college! From my very first interaction over the phone with Amy DiMartino, where I had expressed to her my concerns and dissatisfaction with a previous nursing school that I attended in Tampa. Amy, was very understanding, professional and addressed all of my concerns. She was quick with setting up an interview with me at the school and she was a great asset in my academic endeavor at Arizona college of nursing! With Amy’s help and the rest of the staff at AZC I was able to transfer 30+ credits, take 7 GED courses and progress into the Nursing Core program in just 6 months! These past few months at AZC have been the most influential and educational months of my life. It is a fast paced and challenging program, with only 8 week semesters! But trust me, you will learn so much in such little time and will be so happy you did it! I am so proud of myself and feel very accomplished at this college. Everyone at AZC are super friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable! There is so much you will learn at this school! The instructors and professors go out of their way for their students here, making sure we are all understanding and grasping the material! Transferring to AZC has been one of the best decisions I could have ever made for my education and future nursing career! Thank you for being here AZC!Kayla Angelica Urena

I did a lot of research before checking out AZC for the first time. I had a lot of bad experiences with other schools and the constant going in circles to get into the programs I was looking for. The very first person I spoke with was Madison and she was absolutely amazing she listened to what I wanted to accomplish and where I wanted to go with my career. She also understood that I’m a full-time working single mom and had other priorities. She was very patient, knowledgeable and transparent with me and gave me every little detail along the way through the admission process. I just started my first session at AZC and so far I couldn’t be happier I’m so glad I finally made the decision to pursue a career in what I’m passionate about and I’m confident with the amazing administration and staff at AZC that I’m going to accomplish everything I’ve set out to do.Jacqueline Acevedo

In July I made a spontaneous decision to go to nursing school after giving up on it. I toured a lot of schools but none stood out Until, I came to azc. I was greeted with smiling faces. I met with Amy, and she was so sweet and accommodating of me and my family who came in for support. Every step of the way, Amy was there holding my hand and I have grown so fond of the family like environment here at azc. Amy has encouraged and motivated me the entire process . I’m only in my second week of class but I know from now that I am exactly where I need to be . Every one here is incredibly resourceful and I couldn’t asked for better! Thank you AZCJay Diaz

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

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

Tammi is amazing! She comes to my class of Patent Care Technician students every semester and teaches them BLS for healthcare providers. She is extremely knowledgeable with over 20 years of emergency medical experience and has some crazy stories that keep the students engaged and help them really understand the WHY behind the training! Not only will you pass and get certified, you will actually learn something! I’d give her 10 stars if I could!!!Laura N

I've done multiple acls renewal classes and Tammi is not only one of the most knowledgeable instructors but also makes the class fun and relaxed. She uses case studies from personal experience working as a paramedic and rn and also takes the time to make sure you have a full comprehension while simplifying steps in a user friendly manner. I would recommend anyone at any level of medical proficiency.Deanna Geiger

Tammy was wonderful and very informative! She had a lot of valuable insight and information to provide and share that you do not get in your average ACLS class. Her enthusiasm in teaching the material was very apparent and you can tell she enjoys teaching as well as having the students in her classes succeed. I will be back next time I need to recert and am in the area!Ryan Lane

I was so impressed with Mary at the front desk. She made me feel welcome, cared about what I needed and communication between her and the other staff and visitors was second to none. Unfortunately the allied health program is not at all strong. Outdated books, organized to a point but not as organized as the well established colleges, no structure to the rules and regulations for student attendance policy, because the program is so small, students get away with treating staff and instructors badly, staff needs to pay attention to educational detail to guide students in the correct direction and not make rules and regulations as they go day to day, some instructors that are there just for a paycheck, very bad relations between Nursing Program staff and Allied Health staff because one thinks they are better than the other and look to create drama to cause low moral for staff and students, and the financial struggles month after month that any school gas, but very disorganized on how they deal with the struggles. Advice, spend your money at a better college or institute so you can have a well rounded education with a school that makes sense.Freedom 1

Before going to this school …please read this!! Run…they don't care about you ….all they want is your money. Most of the teachers care for the most part but if you have issues with your teachers they turn a deaf ear . They don't listen to you especially if you have teachers who are failing you on purpose ,belittling you in front of the class and make you feel small in front of everybody. When you get to med surge the teacher will fail you on purpose ..majority of my class failed . The school knows all about this teacher and won't do a thing about it . So my advice to you is go to concorde because gwinnett in Orlando don't care about you. It's funny how the school is trying to help people pass capstone!!When we only got a two day remediation..the capstone teachers job Is already alot in a whole. They banned me from repeating my capstone even tho I'm done program!! All I asked for is proper remediation…go elsewhere. If enough student's get together they should sue themNeisha Simpson

I graduated from the RN program at Gwinnett Institute July 1, 2019. Less than 3 weeks later I passed the NCLEX on the first try! The school providing me all the necessary tools to pass this exam. The instructors made theirselves available for tutoring, not only with nursing/patient topics but with hands on skills. I also really felt like the staff cared about me. If I ever had a problem, as a student or in my personal life, I always had someone I could go to. The administration literally kept their doors open for the students. I would recommend this school to anyone looking for an education in health care. I am just so grateful to Gwinnett Institute for the education, life long career and the many friendships I've made along the way.Diane lambeth

I wish I could give this school 10 stars!!! They go above and beyond to make sure students are successful. Many students are given many chances that in my opinion they don’t deserve but the Director truly wants to see everyone succeed! In just 9 months I took an accelerated LPN program and passed the HESI Exit with a 900 and NCLEX the first time with 75 questions. You definitely have to study and put in the work but they will help you and provide the resources you need to be successful. The Director is an experienced nurse and teacher. I love her!!! Oh they are good for remediation too, I sent my friend there after she failed the NCLEX and she passed too! Now we both are licensed nurses and making money!!!!Student Nurse

Let me start off by saying they welcomed me with opened arms. I called around to many school but after talking to the administration my heart lead me there. Mrs Lisa & Ms Tia is a blessing and they really help you in many ways. I gladly to say I’m a graduate LPN of Step Medical and was under such great leadership. I will highly recommend this institution to anyone. Again thanks Step Medical institute.Kennesha Fulmore

Great staff. The course is very thorough and easy to navigate. Make sure you have a computer with an updated system, I did not and had a bit of technical difficulties but the staff was extremely understanding and helped me through it. Mrs Tia is a gem, she will guide and help you in every way she can. Mrs Lisa is great as well. Thanks ladies!Lizbeth Escobar

I am a 2020 high school graduate and this was the best decision I have ever made for my self. I decided instead of going to a big college and putting myself in major debt, I would start here by getting my CNA. This was a five week program and when it’s completed you not only receive your CNA but you receive for HHA as well. It has already opened the door to multiple job opportunities for me with competitive pay rates as a recent graduate! This school cares about you and they go above and beyond to help you not just with school but with anything you need. Our instructor was Marcia Jackson and she for sure was hands down the best you could ask for. She will go out of her way to help with anything you need (personal or educational). She gives tips and tricks to make these way easier and she becomes a friend that you can confide in if needed be. She cares about her students and the group of people I had in my class became a big family and we all have outstanding grades just by the way she teaches!! Thank you VERY much for the opportunity to go to this school, it is HIGHLY recommended in my bookTaylor Bristol

I don’t normally give reviews but I highly recommend BNA! I entered BNA with no knowledge of the medical Field or what I really wanted to do. Today, I passed my CNA state exam, something that I never thought id be doing. And I give thanks to my instructor Mrs Marcia Jackson. She is an amazing teacher, she took time to really explain medical information I didn’t understand as well show us how to be successful doing our skills. And she never got tired of answering my questions, she is my Angel! And like her, the rest of the staff are just amazing from the secretary (Stephanie) who convinced me that I could do the CNA program to Mrs Mardella who helped guide me through clinicals. Truly an amazing school who care and go over and beyond. Thank you Brevard Nursing Academy, I pray I can one day come back for the LPN program with Mrs Marcia hopefully as an LPN instructor! ☺️Trisha Annamarie Ruiz

I went to the CNA program and loved it, from the beginning to the end, was welcomed and treated nicely by the staff. They guided me through all the steps needed to enter the program and be successful. Ms. Marcia is simply amazing. I highly recommend her. Her passion for teaching and caring for others made this program a great experience. She made the class fun and tought us everything we needed to know to succeed in both, the tests and in the skills. Overall I had a great time and was given the skills and experience needed to go out there and feel confident in my ability to care for others. Thanks to the amazing people who work here, I was given the opportunity to help and care for others.Miguel Rivera

I graduated the LPN program at this school about a year or so ago and recently became a Licensed Practical Nurse. Although there were many bumps in the road for me, the staff were always willing and there to help along the way. They encourage you and push you to not give up! Amazing. As long as you stay dedicated and work hard, you will pass at this school and graduate. I had the privilege of having a great instructor there for all of my classes. I will probably be returning for their bridge program. Thank youKC Lubin

I am a recent graduate from care hope college. The staff at the school are extremely magnificent. Through all the tribulations I faced every one stood by my side. When I failed they picked me up and believed in me when I doubted myself. Ms. Bobbet, Paige, Hope, Shaffian and Miller never doubted my success. I love them all. The program was flexible and the team guided my steps all they way to the end. I promise it is an adventure worth taking. Care hope college is definitely one of the best schools I attended.Angelina Cash

so happy to be at this school great staff great people great instructor great everybody fuuullliiiieeeee sportive to every student glad to be here I recommended this school to anyone Even y that you struggling in other school come to check this place up you will love it I'm Hugo and approved this message.hugo mejia

I took the TEAS exam so many times and didn’t do good until I came into contact with Dr. Adkins. I am accepted into nursing school. Dr. Adkins is very detail and break everything down and very knowledgeable and this just show he’s a very good doctor. He teaches this class as he writing orders for nurses and it makes it easier because this how the teas are conducting their tests. Which made it more easier for me to be familiar, confident and comfortable with the 209 questions the teas give. Dr. Adkins class was a success and allow you to engage and interact with all your classmates and ask how much questions you want. He dedicate his day and time all the way to 1 am or 2. He doesn’t care how long it takes everybody he will stay up all night to teach the class to make sure we all get the materials. Anything negative on these comment sections is not accurate I have been around for a while until I was able to afford to take his class. He did not give up on me even when I gave up on myself. Not only is he a good doctor. He’s also a good person. So I will love to have a good person and doctor to give me knowledge to help me grow not only in my professional life but in my personal life as well. Thank you Dr. Adkins for everything you do to help us all get accepted and succeed in nursing school.Sha'Daria Hardy

I signed up for Dr. Adkins preparatory course because I needed professional tutoring that was also structured and would keep me on task with weekly sessions. To characterize the sessions as "thorough" would be a gross understatement. I have never met anyone as dedicated as Dr. Adkins who willing to speak with students at any time of the day (even on non-class days) to help bring further clarification and assistance with the subjects covered. Dr. Adkins always answers phone calls and texts promptly, which was impressive. I signed up with the Adkins Academy at the end of November 2021 and diligently took his classes 2x per week, not including the Monday office hour sessions. In March 2022, I took the TEAS and received a very competitive score in the 80's. Within just a few hours of Dr. Adkins very first class, I was vehemently aware that there were no other preparatory courses or books that would prepare me for the TEAS like this course would. There is simply no other resources out there that will match the level of preparedness that The Adkins Academy provided!Michael Roland

I wanted to thank You The Adkins Academy Test Perp. Course for helping me pass my TEAS test first attempt with 83.3%. This is a very proud moment for me. You awesome instructor Dr. Adkins . I remember when I started first day and the first time I took the live class with Dr. Adkins I was nervous not confident but after two months straight taking this course with him I see a disaster change in my knowledge and confidence. The questions he taught us in his session cover every thing what we can expect from this test. I am 100% satisfied with the course and I recommend you people take it and increase your chances of getting high score. Lots of thank you again to Dr. Adkin from Central Valley, CA.shefali nayyar

Following surgery my wife developed Dementia, having had home health services for several years doctors recommended a locked memory unit. Visited at least 20 facilities, some I would not put my dog in.2018 a representative from Life Care Center Palm Bay walked into a temporary facility wife was in and told us about Life Care Center Palm Bay. I emmediately visited the facility. We had a warm reception by staff. I was greatly impressed by the staff and the beautiful facility. It was well maintained, clean and had NO. Odors. The staff are extremely knowledgeable, willing to help, polite and professional. To today I am still impressed with all the staff. On average I visit my wife 4 days a week now. Initially I visited my wite everyday to help her adjust and assure myself, she was well taken care of. She always has been. One time a staff person was inappropriate, i spoke to a supervisor and person was reassigned. It truly is a fantastic facility that I pray for daily. Jim McGovern, M.A., M.A.Linda McGovern

While I am happy to report all personnel at this Palm Bay Florida facility were competent, professional, and caring. There sometimes is one who goes above and beyond to ensure total patient well- being, and I say Carolyn Fernandez is one such person. No request too small, no need unmet, the hours of 7-3 were her signature time when a friend walked the halls who would just arbitrarily stick her head inside the room and ask if all was well, could anything be got? As a former employer myself, I say you don't find people like this, they find you, how lucky for me my wife was cared for there.BeachsideHank

My dad was admitted to this facility for a rehab after a 10 day hospital stay. The staff were professional, patient and kind. The facility was spotless and 100% free of odor. The atmosphere was friendly, quiet and peaceful – exactly what you need when trying to rehabilitate after an illness. My dad is a picky eater but really liked the food. The therapy team did their job and got my dad strong enough to return to his home. We had a very positive experience and I highly recommend life Care Center of PALM BAY.Jodi Woodside

I had a great experience at OMI. I attended a "Flipped classroom" for Paramedic school led by retired FDNY Lieutenant Paramedic Hector Arroyo, and the most important thing I can say is that you get out what you put in. If you put in the work, the staff of OMI will work tirelessly to make sure you get the education you paid for. No games, no egos, just knowledge. The clinical coordinator Jessica Sasser absolutely made my year. I have never in my life worked with someone more accommodating or approachable than she has been. My year of Paramedic school would have been substantially worse if not for her kind, understanding, and extremely hardworking and available approach to clinical internship. While I enjoyed my overall experience at OMI, if I recommend OMI to coworkers or friends, my experience with Jessica will be one of the first anecdotes I share. In addition, I would be remiss if I did not mention the Vice President, Mrs. Abby Marquez. Her caring nature and calm demeanor while dealing with conflicts cannot be overlooked. No matter the obstacle, we all knew we could go speak to Abby, and she would help us come to a tenable solution. Knowing that the administrative staff of your school is on your side and truly cares about you is a feeling you cannot put a price on. I definitely recommend this school for those individuals looking for a no-nonsense, straightforward, and rewarding approach to higher education.Logan Reedy

As a recent graduate of the EMT program at Orlando Medical Institute, I want to take a second to recognize the staff for all of their hard work. From the admin staff to the instructors and lab instructors, everyone did an amazing job preparing the students for excellence in the field. Even during the shutdown and inability to get into hospitals for clinical hours due to the coronavirus, they worked hard to keep us on track and provided simulations to practice our skills. Thank you to everyone at OMI for your help and your dedication to the students. I recommend this school to anyone looking to enter the field. I'm looking forward to continuing my education with OMI in the paramedic program.Darren Barnes

Okay I attended this school way back years ago. Yes the owners do like and make money. The teachers are pretty good but all work multiple jobs and can be late or they may rush to fill a teacher last minute. Their driver cert truck is very old. Abby never bothered me. One thing to be carful. If you are going on to college classes or certs they may not accept your cert or you will have to take the college test. OMI does not require a college entry test. Seminole state does. Felix is very knowable and cares about the school. Just remember this is a private school. Not a college or university. Other than that I attend learned and passed without issue.brad gibson

I use to be a student here in the GED prep classes and a previous student of the month, due to mental health and physically health issues missed too many consecutive days in a row. I had to register again/pay a fee. The deen himself wanted to talk to me gave me a scolding on where my life was going because I missed school, interrupted me when I tried to explain myself and told me he didn't want to hear my "excuses" when I tried to confide in him that I was struggling with major depression. I also had a very inappropriate comment told to me when I was planning on not register again for fall classes by one of the men the administration office when i told him i was planning to put my ged on hold and move states for a job opportunity and he basically told me i was going to throw my life away but the real kicker was that he said i had so much potential and that i was " the right color" and could get far in life with an education. This made me so uncomfortable and was beyond inappropriate I was speechless i could not get out of there fast enough. This school's saving grace was Mr. Cribb and Miss DeJesus. They worked so hard with me truly believed i had potential to be brilliant and i'll never forget all the kindness they treated me with me went out of their way to listen and explain things to me.Emily

If you come to this program for Pharmacy Tech DO NOT DO IT!!!!! I REPEAT DO NOT DO IT! This is the worst most unorganized program ever. They dont teach you and it will take forever to get internship! I have been waiting for a month to get retail internship. They tell you about hospital internship and most students don't go because they don't have space. Everybody plays the blame game from administration, financial aid, and teachers. Nobody knows whats going on its like the faculty at this program don't know anything about pharmacy tech! Just a complete mess. You find out that you pay for all these things they don't tell you in the beginning when signing up for program. I WILL NOT RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL TO ANYBODY FOR PHARMACY TECHNICIAN.Robbie Hart

I currently am a student in the enterprise desktop and mobile support class. And I gotta say it’s helped me so much learn about fixing computers and phones and troubleshooting them. Along with network issues. It’s a good program and recommend going here for it. I don’t know much about the medical area at the school but as far as the technical/computer part goes it’s really good. Could use some upgrading and more effort into it as the labs and stuff are old windows 7 labs when hardly anyone uses it anymore. But other than that can’t complain. Some of teachers help you some don’t, some care more than others. It’s college what more can I say. Just enjoy what you’re doing and it shouldn’t matter what program you’re in.Alex D

After reading many positive reviews I was thrilled to begin class last March with Horizon Healthcare Institute. Mrs. Dominque, who I believe is the head of the institute, is attentive and kind. However, I am saddened by the education our class received during our four weeks. Our instructor Mrs. Janice was lovely and very knowledgeable, but struggled to provide us with the material in the hours we were scheduled to be in class. Our class would ask when certain material would be coming up, unfortunately most of the time she did not know. The syllabus was not updated at the beginning of the course, I believe it has not been updated since Covid. This may have contributed to the confusion of our instructor, ultimately leaving us confused and off track. We were not taught all the practical skills in person and were only hands on 2 of the 4 days we were in class. The last day they dismissed us an hour early… I am happy they provide videos online for the practical skills, however with the cost of the class, it was ideal to be taught in person and for us to learn hands on with the limited time provided. Our final exam in class (not the state exam) consisted of information that was not in the textbook or taught over zoom meetings/in class. All four of us failed the first try, and the three others failed their 2nd attempt. I feel this result represents the teaching of the program. We were also told the exam would be administered to us the last day of class, but instead was given to us 2 weeks after the course was scheduled to finish. With the certificates we received for the class, such as Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders, OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens, and HIV/AIDS, it’s listed on the certificate that we received 4-6 contact hours as required by Florida Statue, however we only watched less than an hour long video for these subjects and took a quiz, that is all. CPR training consisted of a 40 minute video, a quiz, and in class teaching which was rushed through our last day and we did not do any hands on. With this, I feel ginormous corners were cut. After completing the course and applying for jobs, interviewers were very surprised to learn we completed 24 clinical hours in a very small 6 bed privately owned assisted living facility. There were three others in my class who felt the same with the teaching, lack of structure, and lack of hands on. I am thrilled to have passed the state exam, however I feel ill prepared for this career. It may have been an off month for the institute, but I feel inclined to leave this review as it was not only myself that felt this way about the course. I am saddened by this experience and very regretful to have chosen Horizon Healthcare Institute for the CNA program.Alex Bula

Horizon Health Care Institute- Melbourne. This institution offered me everything and more.. A knowledgeable and capable instructor, hands on learning, great curriculum and a positive community! The environment alone was something I enjoyed so much, its welcoming and uplifting and so positive.. They truly thrive off of their students success and happiness. Mrs. Dominique herself showed me so much grace and support through my time there.. she did everything possible to make sure that as long as I was committed and determined – that I would make it through my program successfully. Personally- I had a situation arise to where I was unable to get my number of sticks necessary to complete my Phlebotomy program.. she graciously allowed me back into another class to complete the physical part of the course. Without that opportunity I would not have completed my program successfully.. and of course this was not something she or the school owed me in any way. I am forever grateful for that opportunity.. So if you are trying to choose your campus/ institute to go for you certifications.. I 1000% recommend without a doubt Horizon Health Care !!Ashley Pichaj

I attended this school and EARNED my LPN license. You DO have to work for it, it will not just be handed to you, but such is the case with any nursing program. I had a scheduling conflict due to a death in the family and HHI worked with me to accommodate my schedule even when they were not obligated to do so. I had Mrs. Beverly as a teacher and she was awesome!!! She will do whatever it takes for you to understand the material. She even caters to each students individual learning style. I experienced a minor set back on one final exam due to the circumstances of life and the administration worked with me and I was all the better for it. The enrollment process was easy and you really do get one on one attention while attending this school. My teacher even called to check on me after I had graduated, passed the NCLEX and started working. The individualized approach is like none other. If you want it bad enough HHI will do whatever it takes to help get you there.!!!John Shaver

UPDATE: On October 21, 2022, I received a call from the director of the campus. They gave me time to state my concerns, state my requests, and ask questions. I was able to receive everything that I asked for. To the director of the Tampa campus: Thank you for all of your help and well wishes in my future endeavors. _______________________________________________ I attended Jersey College’s (Tampa, FL) LPN program from January of 2022 to June of 2022. I was put on academic withdrawal for failing their Anatomy & Physiology class for the second time. The overall passing grade for this school is a 73. I had a 70. There is no room for redemption at Jersey College. If you fail a test, that is it. You have to wait until the next exam and do better. With A&P being as complex as it is, there is no lab to attend. You just have your textbook and lecture days. I had a decent instructor, but getting their help through tutoring wasn’t possible because they were constantly tutoring the RN students. You have no choice but to leave “mandatory” lectures, go home, and teach yourself through other sources. As of October 2022, I am unable to attend my school of choice because Jersey College told me that they will not release any documents pertaining to the classes I took there and the grades I received until I pay my balance. I was told that the school I am wishing to attend can send a form to have my transcripts sent over. The school sent the form twice, and has yet to receive my transcripts. I attended three classes at Jersey College. This balance, which is over $7K, is beyond inaccurate considering the fact that they have charged me for a “Academic Year 2,” which is a term that I have not stepped foot on their campus for. I am expected to pay a balance that has not been corrected. I wish I had positive things to say, but I need others to be aware of this school’s dishonorable actions. On the Florida Department of Education website, you will find the primary rights of parents and eligible students under FERPA are the right to: • Inspect and review education records • Seek amendments to education records • Have some control over the disclosure of information from educational records If you are considering attending this school, please be cautious. I have filed a complaint with the Department of Education to start an investigation.O'Shan Coleman

I want to start by saying thank you to all the administration and instructors at Jersey College in Tampa. Attending this school was the best decision I have ever made professionally. Jersey College and the staff gave me the opportunity for a whole new life. This school was not just an education. It changed my life forever, I never thought a school would have such a huge impact on me. The way the instructors and administration care about every student is remarkable. They want everyone to succeed, and they will give you every resource available to make that happen day or night. I can not thank Jersey College enough. If it wasn't for the amazing instructors encouraging me to push on and follow through, I would not be a nurse today. If anyone is thinking about becoming a nurse, talk to this school and give them a chance. Another thing I like about this school, is I did not feel like a number. They made me feel like a human being and every instructor and administrator knew my name before I knew theirs. Jersey College changed my life forever. I know they could change anyone's as long as the work is put in. I will be coming back to this school to continue in my nursing education. Thank you all at Jersey College!!!Alex Siegfried

Not a great nursing program. Not worth your time, money or mental health. It’s better to go to Hillsborough community, buckle down and make the grades. This school advertises inspiring success stories and that they’re here to help us meet our career goals and that’s just not the reality. In my own experience, when I was attending, their passing grade for a term is 75. I made a 73 in nutrition and they made me repeat the term. They then a term later changed the passing grade to 73 and I did not get credit nor refunded for the second time I had to take nutrition. (Which I passed). I am actively paying on a loan and they will not release my transcripts for another school so in return this is holding me back from accomplishing my career goals. Which is opposite of what they say they stand for. I am not here to slander but to share my experience that I am having with this nursing school. Be smart about how you choose your nursing program, do your research and ask questions.Eleanor Benjamin

I started on November 11, 2019. I had toured about four other schools before touring Jersey College. It would be by fate that even though Jersey College was the last school I toured. That I instantly felt that this is where I would have my ADN finally. I had started and stop so many times before. I had just from January 2019 till October 2019 attended an approve but not accredited school. Please do not waste your time and money like I did. I wanted to have a school that was accredited and had an excellence reputation with the community. I found both at Jersey College. Trust me every school has its ups and downs. There is no perfect nursing school. Moreover, I during my second semester saw how while other schools were closed and not open Jersey College was committed to keeping up with their end of the agreement. Providing me with a structured and quality education. A totally brick and mortar institution transformed to a highly functioning virtual online school, literally overnight. I did not stop or have any delay due to CoVid 19. I thank GOD for Jersey College. For the great Professors both theory and clinical that pushed us to strive for excellence. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I salute and I am proud to be a Jersey College graduate May 25, 2022. Dreams and goals really can and will come to fruition. Please do not give up on yourself no matter how long it takes. You are worth it and there are clients, patients, professional colleagues that need that special something that only you can give. The world is waiting on you. Take that first step and make today that day. I can't not forget to mention Ms. Maxine, Professor Chaundra Whitehead, Professor Zunga,Associate Dean Dr. Marilou Strider, Professor Irina Gubanova, Professor Donald Avart, Professor Maxine Brainey, Professor Alberto Velasquez, Professor Jinghai Wen, Professor Anthony Santana, Professor Clara Samuels, Professor Dr. John Silver, Dean Dr. Cynthia Short, Professor Dr. Axel Collazo, Professor Lois Lazzopina, Professor Miguel Acosta, Professor Anna Guerrero, Professor Jill Sclaver, Professor Julie Gladstein, Professor Krystal Rivera. Professor Arizbeth Ortiz. Thank-you all for all your help and words of encouragement!Roseline Guerrier

Good Evening, I wanted to take the time to thank you all once again for this amazing journey and graduation celebration! You all are the best school, I have ever attended in my adult life. I was so happy at the graduation, I couldn't contain my joy. I've been through so much to reach this accomplishment. These last 2 years have been very challenging. You all stood by my side from day one all the way until the very end. From academics, funding, theory, skills. Ups and downs. You never judged me or told me I can't. You always encouraged me. You've helped me through my difficulty times and celebrated my accomplishments. You understood everything that went on during these 2 years. You gave me the will power when I wanted to give up. Thank you Thank you Thank you! I thank God for giving all of us this divine connection! All of us are Forever and Ever in my heart. With sincerity and joy your grateful student, Joanne L. WilliamsJ W.

I had a terrible experience at this school. They are completely unorgaized and are money hungry. They make you take classes that you've taken at your previous school because to them its expire if it's older than 5 years. Teachers are not willing to help you when you need it. Teachers quit during the term and big turnover in staffing of the school. However, the syllabus of the school is difficult for students to pass their classes because they don't offer extra room to improve grade. Only give you one midterm and final with a lot of percentage and short percentage for homework grade, which makes it difficult for you to move forward if our struggling. I'm glad I was able to leave when I did. Wish I knew sooner and not invested my money here. Please save yourself the time and look elsewhere. There are better and affordable nursing schools elsewhere for students in broward county.Cindy J
