Very difficult school, not enough staffing, doesn’t accept more than 30 students, not much help is offered to continue working on your acceptance. Not a lot of nursing students graduate from here.

If you are a current or former student of this school, please help out prospective students by sharing your experience with the school. We also welcome faculty members and staff members to leave a review and answer students questions.
