20 Best Rn Programs In Washington, DC (2022 Updated)

So far I have had a just ok experience here at SPSCC. First starting with the financial aid office. We are almost three weeks into the quarter and they just now processed my awards (grants that is) but it is sitting and hasn’t been disbursed yet. Every time I have inquired about it I am given the excuse of their new ctclink system. We have got to get it together! People that apply for and receive financial aid and grants need these to help get through school. They are eligible for a reason and that is because they are low income. So taking an excessive amount of time of sending students their financial aid puts a damper on not only their learning but also their living situation. This is effecting the students and the students only. Also, the bookstore listed a book for my class as required so I purchased it a week before the quarter. Come to find out the Professor is using two completely different books. Had to make another trip to the campus to return it which was an inconvenience since I’m all online classes. Then the two books needed the bookstore does not carry. It’s been challenge after challenge here and this is just the beginning.glenda fox

I attended this college for exactly five months, and I decided to leave because I lost interest in the classes that I took, and I didn't have the interest to have a major career. An education for myself would have been very important, and I had the capability to work with subjects if I was committed to the work that I was doing, but I didn't have the interest, so I decided to be a writer instead. I also left the college because I was treated carelessly by many students, and I was treated the same way in high school, so I didn't want to continue spending more time in an environment where I would continue to be disregarded. If you are committed to getting an education, then it is all a matter of interest for what your career is, and it's up to anyone for what they want best, but even if I don't have a high education, I still have moral education from my potential to be a writer. I do recommend this college for anyone, but I hoped that the students would have been more sincere and polite, then I would have stayed there.Colby Kanter

I attended a few classes here a long time ago. I needed to get the transcripts rather quickly because the deadline for University admissions is closing in. When I visited the office the lady that helped me proceeded to treat me like dirt. I asked if the document would be in an envelope and if they needed the address I was sending it to and she proceeded to mansplain transcripts ("this is the paper its going to go on after I feed it into the printer"). From the perspective of someone who works in higher education…if I were a student and had to be mansplained to every time in needed to speak to registration/financial aid/cashiering…I would complain to her boss. The lady that checked me in was wonderful though!Amanda Crespo

If you are looking for a university that constantly drops classes without notifying you and consistently mess up your financial aid and student loans, then this is the university for you. I have never dealt with such an unorganized and incompetent higher education facility. If I were not so close to reaching my end goal with my education I would transfer. If you are planning on taking courses at the HEAT Center in Aberdeen through Notre Dame, such as myself, don't bother because courses are rarely offered there and I have had 3 courses in the past 2 semesters that were to be held at the HEAT Center that have been cancelled and I was never notified by Notre Dame. Now they have notified Fed Loans that I graduated in August when I have not completed all my coursework. Talk about unorganized. I don't think I have encountered one person on the administrative staff that seems like they know what they are doing. I can say my professors have been good; however all of the negative encounters I have had with administration has overshadowed those positives.Kelly Borowiak

This review is of the Entry level BSN nursing program. To be fair, this institution actually has a very good nursing program. The culture of the environment however needs plenty of improvements. This nursing program lacks cultural diversity and sensitivity. The nursing program and it’s educators still caters to the program’s largely Caucasian student population. All of the full time professors that lecture are white with the exception of one Indo-Caribbean professor. This has created an environment of both intentional and unintentional biases, which has also created an open tolerance for racial and ethnic prejudices that should never be acceptable or tolerated in an educational environment. The nursing program would greatly benefit from including an office of Cultural diversity and inclusion to better accommodate and nurture its students from different racial and ethnic backgrounds.Beautiful Life of B

Notre Dame of Maryland was the last college I visited, but the first one that felt like home. I'm only a sophomore, but I know that I made the best decision because the faculty, staff, and student body make this place so great. My professors are always available and helpful, which is great in a pinch, and living on campus with my friends is the best thing I could have asked for. The programs create something for everyone (as seen in my own dorm!) with one roommate as Pre-Pharm in the 3/4 year program, the other currently applying for the Nursing Program, and I'm applying for the 5 year MAT program for education. Notre Dame really is the place to be!Lauren Romagnano

I have had an amazing experience with Herzing University! I am excelling in my degree choice and I couldn't be more satisfied with my learning experience and the flexibility that the online program gives me.The instructors are all willing to help whenever I have a question, and if they see many students struggling with something, they will post an announcement with some helpful tips on how to proceed through our courses. The learning material is easy to understand, the discussion boards really help me connect with my classmates more than I normally would, the library is full of everything you might need for your studies, and the Coach rooms and Tutoring center are very helpful! I have seen many posts off and on about how students struggled in this school. I have to say the most common thing I see students struggling from in these courses is not doing the assigned work on time, not participating in the discussions, and not following the assigned directions on assignments. We have to take responsibility and do our work (on time!) or we will not succeed, and we should not blame someone else for our lack of trying. Just with everything else in life, if you do not put any effort into something, you will not gain anything from it. Overall, if you need a great school, with a good price, amazing learning experiences, and great instructors, then Herzing is the way to go!Kohake Family Shared

I stared with Herzing back in 2013 for my undergrad BSN RN. At that time, school was still establishing itself, therefore, I had some rough time getting through the program, but overall my experience was good. This year I came back for my MSN FNP and let me tell you ))) My experience with Herzing in 2019 is absolutely amazing. This school grew so much! Lots of support, any time you need it, everyone is very attentive and friendly. You still have to do a lots of studying, but isn't what we came here for? I'm beyond satisfied, thank you Herzing faculty and staff, you're the best!KateM M

This University is so awesome. I am in my 3rd semester and am grateful for the progress I am making. I even made the Dean's list! The instructors are active, involved, and try helping you succeed every way they can. I am super excited about where this will take me in my near future. I really enjoy the online learning experience and I'm so happy with the decision I've made.Jasmine Coleman

I AM NOT A STUDENT. IM A TOURIST I toured this beautiful school yesterday. It was absolutely beautiful. To walk around seeing so much scripture. So many things to inspire young minds and hearts to Christ. I did not get a chance to walk around the entire campus but the places I did see were amazing. My tour guide was Robert Vann. He knew a lot of history and important things about the school. He probably knew the mission statement if I asked him. He took us into the Chapel and had so many great things to say about it. He also said, the school was a safe place for Christians. The professors and staff, knew Jesus. Frfr. They encourage a relationship with Christ. He has never been around so many different ethnicities fully in worship together. It reminded him of Heaven. He saw that we are all the same. The school opened the eyes of his heart to so many different beautiful things about ALL of the people of God. I’m not gone lie, I don’t wanna say that I would ever move back to Virginia. And I do not like school. However, after seeing the school, and hearing the Words of Mr. Vann, it makes me want to consider attending Regent. Makes me actually want to consider experiencing it all myself.Tiray Randle

I could not have chosen a better university to finish my education as well continue with. My professors are very understanding and compassionate because we need that today in the world we live in. Even if you aren't a Christian the respect and just humbleness of all my professors and even peers has been extremely outstanding . I am speechless. My professors pray for me and at times that's what I needed the most. The School work had true meaning and purpose. You aren't just going to school just to go to school. All of it has meaning. I am excited to Start my PhD program and finish proudly as a regent Graduate. Trust me I did my undergrad at a major university and I was just a number and did not feel like I got as much out of as much I got out my masters. Also it's affordable!!! It's an all around win for me Love you regent universitybianca blanc

First, let me say I'm so glad I choose Regent University to study. The Professors, staff, and administration made you feel welcome. My past two years there are ones I'll cherish. The biblical principles and education I received have equipped me to go out and change the world. The Professors care about your well-being just as much as your academic development. Although the classes were online. We engaged in numerous zoom sessions and kept a level of closeness. I highly recommend Regent University to anyone seeking quality higher education. I am proud to be an alumnus of a university that takes a total interest in growing, equipping, and developing the skills of those who will Lead the world. I am a World Leader!

Beautiful campus off a not-so scenic main thoroughfare (Baltimore Avenue). I attended for one short semester and it was nice to return and see all the progress and development that has occurred over the years. Numerous new buildings including campus dining and resident halls. The campus tour we attended for my child was long, and they still have covid protocols required for visitors, which is a bit bizarre, but not entirely surprising, since the State of Maryland always thinks it's on the cutting edge of progress. Also surprised how dead it was on homecoming weekend, and the students we did see wandering on campus do not wear their Maryland colors. A bit disappointing.Avalus

From my experience till now UMD is an amazing college with an even amazing staff and infrastructure. Orientation for students are very important and UMD makes sure they have proper ones. The college is really big and is like another city in itself with everything possible available. It will take time for you to know your way around. Classes are equipped with the latest tech. Lecturers know their subject and are very approachable. These few words wouldn't justify everything about the college. Make sure you do your own research. Would 10/10 recommend selecting UMD for any type of degree!!nikhil pullela

Really nice room. All the lights had mood settings and automation. The scenery was very modern and clean. The bathroom was nice and it had some amazing views very comfortable hotel would definitely visit again. My only recommendation would be maybe having some kind of microwave or something available in the room. However I might end up upgrading to an executive suite next time just to have a dedicated kitchen.Jovon Leblanc

We just got a bill for 13000 more then what we paid last 2 years with no notice that our aid was taken away . I will never recommend this school to anyone we know. My sons went to f and m and Millersville and had a great experience but the way the school handled this situation is a disgrace . They haven’t even replied to my email I sent on June 30 th to the board so I assumed I’m just screwed we have no choice but to pay since already a Junior and can’t transfer. Look elsewhere this place is a true disappoint thinking we were going to a small school which would treat us like they cared ! Not !Kristie

Proud to be an alumnus of Washington College. My husband and I both had a great experience during our time here. We loved our classes and working with our professors. I would highly recommend any ambitious students looking for a great and personalized education to consider applying here.Amanda Tokash-Peters

I will never be able to fully express how much Washington College means to me. The WAC community is so supportive and the professors truly care about you. WAC is a small school with big heart and I recommend it to anyone and everyone looking for a place to call home for college.Connor Lugo-Harris

I was here for two years after my time at Nova CC. I was with the Schar School of Policy and Government. It was a fantastic experience I wouldn't trade for anything. The professors are all experts in their fields with PhD's. Everyone in my classes were respectful and engaging. For a social life it was average, you have to make your own friends by joining clubs or living in dorms with your door open. Be polite and talk to people. Infrastructure wise there is a huge effort by the university to modernize. With the Peterson Medical building, Nguyen Engineering Building, Fenwick library, exploratory building, and the new Robinson building that is being built in the middle of campus, it's gonna be great. For now the construction may put people off but it will become a great school for students and graduate students alike. 4/5 would do it again. Not really but still.Ameen Karim

The George Mason University is better than I expected going in. Many Norther Virginia High School students don’t really want to go to this school because they think it is not that good and they do not want to stay home. This is a great place to learn especially is you are on a budget. Stay at home and commute, it is a great way to save money while getting a good quality education at a university. This school is great and although there is not much on campus culture, there are many things that make the school amazing. This was not my first choice school, but I am content with the decision I made.Johnathan le

A business foremost that specializes in creating unwitting debtors of their customers ("Students") by misleading business practices involving academic advisors that give out entirely counter factual information regarding enrollment and tuition policies but never record such negligent advice only recording events relevant to legally obligating students to pay up or be hastily sent to collections. Hopefully when I file a complaint with the state's council of higher education they will be aware of their malpractice.Jon Doe

Word of advice: try and transfer out of this ghetto school as soon as possible. It'll save you the headache. TAKE ONLINE CLASSES! That way, you will not have to deal with their crap. The only good thing you'll find about this school is the cheap tuition, some good professors if you can find the right ones. So far, I managed to have good ones. And a few nice students along the way. But the unprofessional, unorganized with the admins, staff, etc is a nightmare. I'm speaking from experience with the financial aid and trying to sign up for classes. They act like they don't know what they're doing. Not to mention, you try to be friendly and they give you attitude like you did something wrong. Plus, the staff and admins are incredibly immature and straight up bullies. When you ask for help, they will act irritated, rude or expect you to it yourself. You know that you are going to be around students all day long, and if that is something you cannot handle or deliver civil professionalism, then why are you working here to begin with? Oh yeah, because they just hire anybody, and just hungry for a paycheck. Oh and also, people just tell you different answers or just straight up lie to you. If I had the choice, I would not spend another semester here for another minute. They really need to do something about this ghetto, unprofessional, unorganized, low class school and hire better admins, staff, etc too. I'll be so glad when I'm able to leave this school because I will not miss it. I'm sticking to my statement that Virginia schools are better. Also, another thing to add is that the advisers do not know how to do their jobs! They are just there for the title, so know what YOU want and YOUR plan, because these advisers will just tell you anything. In addition, they will act so conceited to make you look stupid. That's why I'm going with my own plan, and I can't wait to leave this school in the spring of 2018. It has been nothing but very poor. They just want your money. This school is nothing but a joke. If I could give this school a zero, I would in a heartbeat.Jazmin M

I hated this college including all staffs, administration and president of this college I had many issues with back when I was attending this college. Yes, I graduated in 2004, made very high grades and achieve my goals, but the President of this college did nothing about my situation. She failed to do her job claiming that she will not bar a student for harassing me. She is very lucky I did not sue her before I graduated. Other people has complained about allowing non-visitors attending to this school for no reason. This brings a major concern about safety. I would advise no one attend to this school. It sure has very poor administration. I do not care what that president said, she is a very poor administrator. I am glad I am moving out of this state and I will be a excellent administrator this president of this college. We need to hire new administrators in this college and make changes in this college and other schools. I will do way better than this sorry loser president of this GHETTO and dysfunctional college.Joy Timmons

I wonder why there are so many bad reviews about this school. It's not as bad as I thought or as I read. Yes, I did have a bad impression at first because I was supposed to take four courses, now I'm taking three because of their carelessness. But that's the only problem I've encountered here. My professors are good. I read bad reviews about the financial aid also but there was no problem with my financial aid and everything went smoothly. Overall, this school is not so bad. I'll still be checking tho. Maybe I haven't seen the bad part of the school yet. LolVic Thoria

Stalinist little place. The whole campus was like a totalitarian police state in 20/21. False accusations were thrown at students about masks and stupid Covid tests. University policy accords no rights to the accused – punishment before adjudication, no right to know or face your accuser or even to view the complaint against you, pressure to admit guilt, and not even an apology when you are found "innocent." The girls cross country team is toxic, with cliques, favoritism and bullying, all courtesy of the coach – Andrew Marrocco. SU of course imposed a fascist and scientifically unsupportable vaccine mandate, resulting in a loss of intelligent, free thinking staff. The buck of course always stops at the top. Tracy Fitzsimmons is running a morally bankrupt operation.Jim Doran

I think the respiratory care team they still live in dark ages. they dont have any ethic how to treat with student. if you choose to go there. you choose to lose your mind the respiratory THREE semester track IS big joke. the graduate student from this program said we had lack of information, we did not prepare to work from just three semesters. they gave us wrong info, never respect us, they are nervous all the time. the make fun of students. they are happy when you are SAD.AQEELA ALGHANIM

This school is a waste of money! My daughter was assigned to live in a dorm room that was a converted motel room! Right behind a dump of a gas station. She is a presidential scholar and athlete and this is the best that Shenandoah had to offer one of its bests. Unacceptable! She will be leaving this school immediately!Paul Martin

Hi everyone! Hope all of you are doing great. In fact, I am one of the expected MBA students planning to join Stratford University very soon as a (full time student). From all what I read so far, it seems to me that the majority of students those have an experience with this academic institution are not happy or satisfied somehow. From my point of view, I strongly believe that if a student (he/she) is planning to join any school, must firstly do some effort to check and ask a little about that specific academic institution whether if it really a good one and fits his needs and ambitions or not. Secondly, try to find and ask the (alumni and staff) who graduated from or worked with this university and their experience in everything (faculty, the heaviness of the academic programs, facilities offered, student services, campuses and any other related information that is important and matters to you). Thirdly, and the most important thing is to check with the university or related authorities and ask about the university if its whether recognized and accredited or currently in the process of accreditation of its academic programs or not accredited at all. Lastly, to be fair with myself and the others I have to check, aske and do more searches about this university and then build a strong healthy infrastructure of information so then I can judge one it fairly. It is been said that “People are the fair reflection mirror to judge on you”! Eventually, I will be very thankful to receive any valuable comments from all those who will read my views and also those who had an experience with this respective university or even new people planning to join as a student or staff. Please remember that your valuable comments and advices will help me a lot to shape my decision and the road map of my both academic future and carrier. Thanks to all of you.Sultan Al Maawali

I am an UnderGrad Student in the Glen Allen Campus and I am more than pleased with the Administration and Professors. I am shocked and appalled at some of these negative statements about the school. I can't speak for all Professors or all Campuses but I can say that the ones here in the Glen Allen Campus are AWESOME! I have never went to them with an issue that either they didn't have an immediate solution for me or worked on one until we got it resolved. They have a genuine open-door policy, they work with you to ensure that your academic goals get met. They offer "real world" industry tips and secrets to help you in your particular academic discipline. The professors are well versed in their fields with decades of experience. They challenge you academically as well as on a personal level; they take a vested interest in your success. I made the decision last August to attend and it has been one of the best choices that I've made. I support Stratford U 100%!Cire Yevrah

I just graduated from the International MBA program at Stratford University – Falls Church. I am surprised and shocked that some students are very negative about the university. I am an older student who has enjoyed a 40+ years career in Marketing, Sales, Non-profit Fundraising and as a business owner. So, my expectations were high for the school, professors and curriculum. They challenged me to excel and I met the challenge. The entire school is behind the students. If a student fails, it is because they did not make an effort to succeed. I worked hard and it paid off. If you are looking for someone to hold your hand and give you a degree, then you are going to the wrong school. If you wish to learn and excel in your chosen field then you should do well. For all those who complain about Stratford, I have to believe your attitude and approach could be part of your problem. And, for the record, I never experienced racism at any level, from anyone.Linda Vaughan

I'd be very wary with this school. They don't pay the teachers for their full work. Instead ONLY pay them for the time they're with students and none of the prep. I don't know how this is legal, but it's robbing the students of an adequate education, and exploiting the teachers hard work. High turn over rate. The place is poorly run and managed. A lot of misinformation. The school lacks a lot of basic supplies to teach, and lacked even a first aid kit.Willie Garcia

I am the parent of a student. I am very disappointed in the graduation venue they chose for these students who have worked so hard. First off everyone is talking through the ceremony, the sound system horrible, and awful old school auditorium. How disrespectful to the students to provide such a venue. I'm angry, and hurting for these students. To pay the high price they skimped on the celebration. Embarrassing and shame on the school.Cindy Cooper

I went to the Nursing program here after being CNA for several years, attending the program and getting licensed was the best decision I have ever made. The professors and instructors were very supportive. Most of the students were very motivated, if you’re motivated to get it done this is the school to attend, less wait lists and less stressful pre-reqs requirements. Best of luck!Gamachis Achamyeleh

I applied here and got in but communicating with my admissions counselor was very difficult. I asked her several times about financial aid and if I would receive any. When I DID get a hold of her she just told me that she's been very busy and to call back later. Which I did, she did not answer, and instead of answering my question she left me and my high school counselor a voice mail asking us to call her once again later. Honeslty never have seen worse student support from admissions counselor.Lucia Cova

While the food was descent, the service was so so. Once the cashier finally paid attention to us and we were able to order, she was very friendly. But prior to taking our order, she continued to talk to another employee and chat about non work stuff and ignore customers. The sweet potato fries and grasshopper shake were very good.Anthony Scott

Smack in the middle of D.C. it is the place to be if you're not a chump. It has top notch policy schools and other departments are great as well. The metro is also right there in the middle of the campus and you can get a university pass that'll make your travels free if you're a student. So don't delay, join today.ubdussamad

Unfortunately, I did not have a great experience while in the care of this facility at all. The nurses and technicians are very rude and ghetto. My first full day and weekend there was a total NIGHTMARE and the technician that was assigned to my room whose name was Natasha R. was totally incompetent and rude. As a younger patient there, the staff seems to gaslight you and show favoritism towards the older patients, as they tend to not be able to defend themselves due to them being elderly and frail. There were only a few good nurses and technicians that I encountered but that was it, the worst place to recover in post surgery or a medical crisis. The food service folks were the nicest people and if you talk to them they will accommodate your meals based on your diet and special dietary needs. Last but not least, the nurse that was assigned to my room (Room #220) on 04/02/2022 on the morning/AM shift was completely HORRIBLE, WITH NO COMPASSION, VERY RUDE. She made the gentleman from the discharge ambulance services group wait an additional (45) minutes or so due to her refusing to listen to me and not having me ready to go by 10AM that day. It was completely UNORGANIZED, none of my medications were ready and I had to end up driving myself to my local pharmacy to pick them up, just about (2) weeks after having a major surgery. I was still taking a lot of medication for pain management, heavily medicated. I could have seriously injured myself and others on the road by being in that type of condition. The occupational therapists were all nice but didn’t seem that experienced and novices. The physical therapist (Jack) that was assigned to me didn’t seem that experienced as well. He tended to be preoccupied with his cell phone, laptop, or what all of the other physical therapists were doing with their patients. I give one star versus a (0) star for this rating due to the doctor that made sure that I had all of my medications placed in as soon as I was discharged home, Dr. Risvo. He is a very good young doctor and really cares for the patients during their stay at this CHAOTIC facility. He even called my mom to ensure that I had all of my prescriptions and everything, as soon as I was discharged from this disorganized facility.Shana Caldwell

Day one and I am already displeased with the care and presentation with NRH. My dad had a stroke June 27and was sent to Baltimore Md UMM and received outstanding care. Even though covid restriction were in place, they did allow for my mother and i to stay over night and allow 2 visitors at a time to see him. Today we get to the NRH, and with all the stresses of knowing we can not continue to stay with him overnight is enough. Upon arriving the security lady at the desk is a nasty rude women. My mom is there with my dad but we want to make sure that he will be attended to just as much as he was in University of Maryland, Baltimore. I had to call and speak to the nurse regarding my dad wanting some ice chips, to sit up and inquire about his feeding and he has literally been there 3 hours. The nurse proceeds to tell me about a discharge in which I could care less. I don't understand with people that need rehab and need there love ones there, how could you all have such restrictions. That's enough to make a person depress. This is new for my family and stressful enough the last thing we need to do is worry about is my dad attended to like he was in UMM. He had a major stroke which seeing his family is good. You can not be worried about covid that much because if you were he would be in a single room and not share. PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND!!! TALK ABOUT MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT. i would like for someone to reach out to my mother or his daughter to reassure us or get special visitations rights for my dad. I am very upset and it literally been just 4 hours.Tamika Castleberry

I had two very cordial, professional therapist. Briana made a great assessment addressing my balance concerns. She set 4 goals for me. I achieved 3 goals 100% and the 4th goal 80%. Her assistant, Edith gave me a good suggestion to join a Senior Wellness Center to continue what was accomplished during physical therapy. The check-in process was professional and with excellent customer service. Appointments were timely. The facility was well maintained. The sanitizing of the equipment being used was done after the use of each individual. I would highly recommend MedStar National Rehabilitation to others.Carmen A. Starks

I graduated with my lpn at standard college in august 2015, and im now working on my RN at standard. The instructors have a lot of nursing experience and give you great nursing knowledge you will use on the nclex and while at work. The instructors and administration are very willing to help students and often provide extra tutoring IF YOU ASK for it. The curiculem is VERY challanging. standard college is for students who are focused, hardworking, and motivated to study study and study. If you want to build a knowledge base that will help to make you an excellent nurse then standard is for you. The cirriculem is challenging but you are told that at orientation and at the admissions interview many times. The school is serious about graduating educated nurses who will go into the career and keep patients safe. 80% is needed to pass each class. Its challenging but IT CAN BE DONE! You just have to apply yourself and study! Simple.Amie S.

I was referred to Standard College by a friend who graduated from the program and spoke very highly of the school. My experience in the nursing program thus far has been very positive (about to graduate). They provide lots of support to the students, including small group tutoring which is very helpful. You do need an 80% to pass the program, but this is made very clear during orientation. With all the resources and additional support that is provided, I am having no problem maintaining above 85% in each course.Shebna Jackson

Standard College is a great Nursing school, the instructor’s are always ready to go an extra mile to make sure you get the concept. Did my LPN from there and planning to go back my my RN as well and reason is am confident about being well prepared for NCLEX and the the workplace itself. Don’t go far choose Standard and achieve your dream to be a nurse.Robert Ratemo

This review is for the phlebotomy course at NMC, NMC's teaching, and my clinical experience. The course is broken up into 2 weeks in the classroom and 3 weeks in clinical rotation. I rate the classroom teaching as exemplary. Professor Di Lorenzo is passionate about what she teaches and very knowledgeable about phlebotomy and lab work, as she is an industry veteran. One would think that as a NMC student, being sent to Methodist Hospital for clinical rotation would be a good match, as the hospital and school are linked (students are sent to non-Methodist sites as well). There was no organized training program or trainer, thus no consistency. We were assigned daily to phlebotomists that were working the floor on that day. Overall I trained with at least 8-10 people. There were only 2 people I worked with where I sensed he/she trusted me, had patience, and was willing to demonstrate skills and answer questions, and treat me with general respect. Otherwise, I dealt with poor attitude, at times being abandoned by the trainer (where did they go?), and a general lack of interest in training and responsibilities that go along with it. The person promoted to the training coordinator position towards the end of our clinical rotation is a good phlebotomist. However unfortunately I wouldn't be surprised if this person's severe demeanor puts potential new employees off. During the time I spend with this person, I sensed I was being brow-beaten. I didn't feel welcome at Methodist Hospital as a student, and sensed the students were a burden to be dealt with. As a non-employee, one could also sense the malcontent between employees and management. Said management seemed to take very little interest in our training (i.e. asking how training was going, what our overall goals are, asking how did we did in classroom training, etc.). NMC is a great and reputable college and has a great teaching staff. The clinical portion, which is a large portion of the course, was a disappointment.Omaha Phlebstudent

The most terrible school I have ever been to. Both the main campus and the Community college are the same. A lot of slow, unprofessional, and rude staff who keep yelling at students when they are not even doing their jobs properly. I submitted a certain paper to the Financial Aid office and they told me they lost the paper after weeks that I had to pay about $1700 out of pocket. During the 2020 Pandemic, I tried to contact them as I was having difficulty to waive the Student Insurance that is provided through the school because I already had an insurance coverage; no one answered my call until it was due. And now Miss Gaskon told me that I have to pay about $1300 for the coverage I never needed. Mis Gascon was there in 2018/19 when I had the same issue; she helped me waive it then. I could not go to her office in 2020 be a of Covid restrictions. I tried to solve the issue communicating with them but nothing got better yet. I would not recommend anyone to go the UDC unless one needs a headache. I cannot deny that there are some great Professors such as Prof. Sonnie Abebaku. However, individuals are very helpful to us, it’s overall experience at the university that makes a difference in our academic lives. So far, my overall experience is just TERRIBLE!Henok D

Worst administration I have ever had to deal with. Not only do they never respond to email or phone calls, they can't even keep track of ELECTRONIC applications, that required my daughter to submit 3 times and be forced enrolled late into classes due to their incompetence. But they also can't even have the literacy to read the applications correctly to charge the correct rate to students. They went ahead to charge not only my daughter but several other students out-of-state resident rates when all their applications illustrated DC residents. Like how can you not even read what's on the applications! How many other students were charged nearly 3 times when they should have been charged as a DC residents scares me on the level of corruption and neglect this body demonstrates to it's it's attendees.0 Then to not even have the decency and competence to even respond to emails and calls to try to correct this is just completely absurd, no wonder UDC is a laughing stock of a school to attend they can't even serve as a place to get extra credits for actual schools. How neglectful can you be to students and applicants, like seriously!Edgar E

Okay So I applied about 3weeks to a month ago and I’ve yet to receive any papers informing me if I was missing any documents or etc. I’ve called at least 5 times a day for about two weeks straight leaving voicemail after voicemail and no one has yet to return my call not only did I call multiple times I have also emailed them multiple and no response. It’s ridiculous what’s the point of having an admissions office if they not even going to pick up the phone, guide you in the process of being admitted or anything else like you guys get paid to do nothing it’s sad.Jamilya Allen

They tell you what you want to hear in person and advertising…I perfectly asked for ground classes in the morning. My 1st semester was in the mornings and the rest were evenings. Now I'm down to my last 9 classes with a 7,000 dollars graduation funds with Strayer paying for my last 5 classes and I pay the first 4 and was told my last 9 classes have to be on line or I will lose my funds if I do not enroll b4 the winter semester…..totally a bummer can't get no help from any Strayer administration…..false advertising…..everyone has their needs and wants in why and what they choose for……Strayer totally unacceptable…..teco parker

Security is rude and not helpful and IELTS process is scattered and does not have clear instructions. They won’t let you wait for your next test if you’re not a student because it’s a “private institution”. Wouldn’t want to take up their private space or use their private outlet quietly because they’re too important. I thought about taking additional classes here and the whole process was a big a turn off. Never giving this sketchy place my money.Emily Kerns

I had just finished up my Health Sciences Degree from another College and asked God what was next. I stumbled across Arizona College of Nursing on a add that popped up on my phone. I said let me inquire about more information. Daniel T. contacted me hours later to set up an appointment to go into further detail about the school. All of this being said, Thanks to Daniel T. I am a nursing student at Arizona College of Nursing. This all happened in just a few days. I started Nursing school the next week. Daniel is an amazing person, with a great personality. He took the time to speak with me, answer questions, & encourage my dream. Daniel is such an amazing attentive listener with excellent communication skills. Thanks, Daniel, for encouraging me to take the first step and never look back!Saran Stevenson

Hi! I am a student at Arizona college of Nursing. I am extremely glad that I attended this amazing nursing school, and the staff are great, they are truly kind to students. Leslie Tomlinson, she is the admission advisor of Arizona College of Nursing-Falls Church. Leslie is exceedingly kind, she helped and encouraged me through the admission process. I really appreciate her advice and encouragement. Thank you for being so helpful and responsive in your time as my advisor. I appreciate all your guidance and the time you have taken to assist me. You have strengthened my passion to become a successful nurse in the future!Sodaba Noorzad

Got a call from the Admissions Rep and she basically told me all the reasons why I should NOT go to this school! If you have a Bachelor’s degree already…their transfer credit policy is crazy! It’s not for seasoned professionals looking to do a career change into nursing! If your degree is older than 10 years – it’s worthless to them and you will be asked to do EVERYTHING from scratch!! Yes, everything – even your general electives! Who does that?? Save yourself time and frustration……I recommend just going somewhere else…M Henderson

Classic Nurses' Academy is the school. It is student-oriented. It provides excellent training for students for the sought-after health care jobs including nursing assistants, medication aides, personal care aides and more. The instructors are experienced nurses and excellent. The environment is conducive to learning. The graduates are competent and confident of the training they have received and perform well at their respective places of employment.Sage Williams

About the Classic Nurses Academy, I would say that it is very good nursing institution.I did two courses i.e CNA& RMA instructors have lot of knowledge also very co-operative/helpful. I would always recommend the men/women to join Classic Nurses Academy to get certification over there. Thank you, Shahid HamidShahid Hamid
