In the beginning when your doing your prerequisites everything is so good! the professors are awesome, you will have a lot of fun. Once your past the first nursing semester. Everything starts to change Downhill. The NURSING Faculty is ignorant, Demeaning, and pick their favorites to help. If you even dare to complain, they will make it their business to pick on you and make sure you fail your clinical's. once you fail clinical, you fail the semester. This happened to a few students during my time there. Clinical's are 2% of your grade. Be aware that the nursing faculty also discriminates!!!!! different student' receive different treatments. I graduated in December of 2012 but the grab i had to put up with was so not worth it. I payed more money to get a better education, instead I had to keep my mouth shut, hold my tears, and put up with all their demeaning ways out of fear that I would be targeted if I did complain about the unfair treatment. Their favorite students got all the help and better grades. The others were told to figure it out on their own with an attitude!! Their favorite students copied the homework off of me or other students, yet they got higher grades on the same exact work word for word, even tho their entire work was copied off someone else in class. It's a small school, you say one thing to one teacher, the next day the entire dept. is aware of what you said to that one teacher. The Positive part about Trocaire is all the other department' faculty in the school are way nicer and helpful! The Bad Apple of this school is the Nursing dept!! most the nursing faculty are tight and have been teaching there for many years, they get their way. I hope this review helps someone in making their decision! University Resource Use: A-, Education Quality: F Have a Question?

There are very few instructors who hold degrees above the Master's level. In addition, the nursing faculty is not in tune with what is going on today. Some of the nursing faculty do not use modern technology. Nursing faculty can be very unprofessional. There is very little room for greivances to be addressed. Nursing program directors generally do not want to address the issues. The LPN program is horribly run! Be aware that the school is not incredibly diverse, school population and mindset of students reflect WNY, very closeminded, limited interaction with people from various backgrounds/ethnicites etc...

To talk about Trocaire with anything less than complete disgust would not do it justice. Starting for the beginning of my normal day, I live 20min away but have to get up half an hour earilier to look for parking. Walking up to the school, I will even admit they have made some alterations to the school to be better on the eyes, but still is in the middle of South Buffalo. Now here is where half of my frustraion really begins, it is a small Catholic school, of which our tuition matches Universities and we have nothing to show for it. I have been in classes where students have to sit on the window sill. No Gym, No AC, No Food Service ( unless you call ABBOTT Pizza being delivered a worthy substitute ). Since I will only speak of my program's expierence. First semester was a FANTASTIC expierence and FANTASTIC instructors. Then came second semester and so forth. Putting it politely, it is an outdated program, with ignorant, rude, demeaning instructors!!! The program director hasnt seen the inside of a hospital in years and her subordinates are very much stuck in their ways and will have nothing to do with anything outside of "The Trocaire Way" Trocaire's Sim Lab is a joke with non-functioning manequins, NO supplies despite our lab fee's, and a fully stocked video library with all of the best hits from 1970. Guys its not all bad, but your dollar can take you much farther and with the same if not better education. Scholastic Success: B, Education Quality: F Have a Question?
