This school was the worst experience of my life, I left my job to return to school full time as an adult learner. The financial aid department issued loans for the medical technologies program and I was never accepted into the program. They realized their mistake, no problem, they gave me back the promissory notes and made me take federal loans to cover the cost of the general studies department where I was taking classes as a credit only student. i got good grades and applied to the nursing college. I was a male student and was treated pretty badly especially in the ob / gyn rotation were it was a woman's world. talk about being treated badly. I was let out of the info loop, criticized and told i probably wouldn't pass. I didn't. no problem just reapply next year and we will take you back or "help you get into another nursing program. Applied next year and no dice. They put my grades on financial hold and I couldn't even transfer the credits to another college. Live and learn right??
Remember the mistake with the medical technology loans??????
12 years later TJU is suing me for non payment. I was never even in the program. find a community college and get your nursing degree, you don't need to spend 4 years at this place and you can always get your BSN later. don't waste your time at this school, they don't care about anything but their own careers and $$$$$$$$$$$$. and their a bunch of old hags! | Surrounding City: A-, Education Quality: F | | | |

| Quite Bright | | I am a 3rd year nursing student who should have graduated in 2009 from the BSN program at TJU. I have always believed that education is the key to success and that if you work hard and study you can achieve this. Before I tell you my experience from TJU I would like to say that some of the faculty are very nice, empathetic and truly caring for their students. TJU failed me because I did not pass by 0.13% on a test that was a very large percentage for our overall grade. My personal life was in shambles at this point because my father had recently passed away and I was dealing with going into and out of court for the estate processes and a wrongful death suite that had occurred in result of the tragic accident. I literally begged and pleaded with the dean of the school with my mom and stepdad present. They refused my sad story and basically just told me that it was policy. Now the way this school runs per semester is that they basically pull out of a hat how they will split the class up between learning two separate subjects. I had OB-GYN first and cardiac second (others had this the opposite way). Because I failed the OB-GYN portion this withheld me from taking the Cardiac section next and I HAD to go "part-time". Jefferson told me that although I had paid for this semester in full already, that when I return I will have to pay once again for the cardiac section ($7,000). Uh, ok but if I was selected to have cardiac first and passed this, but still failed the OB-GYN portion, I would not have to pay for this?!?! Also, they let someone who had broken their leg in a sport return to the same OB-GYN clinical in the summer session with the FACT program but had no exceptions for myself. When approaching the assistant dean about this matter she said to me "Well, he didn't know he was going to break his leg." My response was... "Well I did not know that my dad was going to be killed in an accident!". From this occurrence I not only had to deal with the stigma of failing, but had to keep dealing with my father's death, move out of my apartment on campus (b/c part-time students can't live on campus), my loans were coming in, and I was dropped from my parent's health insurance!!!!! THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY did not care in the least. I pleaded my case to the Dean of Nursing and wrote a long, descriptive letter of my specific situation. Her response was... It's policy and included my school records of how I was not at their standards anyway on some of my previous test scores before and even brought up that I failed my HESI. (???!!!) Not only do I consider the Dean of this school and some of the higher faculty evil, I consider them low and un-human. I wish so much that I would have gone to a different school of nursing and had not built the courage up to return to this school that cares so, so little for their students besides what is in their wallets. | Social Life: A, Innovation: F | | | |

| Quite Bright | TJU prepared me well when I entered the field of nursing. I was far beyond some nurses that had been a nurse for more than a year. My experience both academically and clinically also impressed my co-workers. It was obvious I had a first-rate education. | Useful Schoolwork: A+, Collaboration/Competitive: B- | | | |
