Program: Associates of Nursing

The teachers were not available for help at ANY time. Many hours spent on homework that are never counted towards the final grade. This program is not meant for anyone that has trouble with tests. The only grade that counts is the test that professors do not teach for. Helpful hints are anything but that! Complete waste of money and time! This should not be an accredited nursing program!

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.
