Most likely the worst nursing program in the State. Most of our class can not pass the pharmacology. Which they will make it feel like it is 100% your fault. They present the program as a working program, meaning you can work at the same time. Which it isn't. And you will lose most of your class mates due to disgust. I hear the junior class isn't even half in their prereqs and have already lost three fourths their class. If you fail one class less than 74, they will drop you (which I haven't) but its a constant fear and then you are done. Out 50,000 dollars. And if you think you are a better nurse. Not. The hospitals think the program is a joke. If you decide to go there anyways, words of advice. Stay with a partner and don't complain about anything even if you know it is wrong you will be out. Don't talk alot. Quite your job. If not they will say your not committed. Don't talk to any of the administration staff. They don't really want to help you. Remember its a business. Don't plan on getting a big reception from the RN out in the hospitals. Most of them are BSN. When techers and Administration walk by talk how committed everyone is and they'll leave you alone. Otherwise they have harassed students until they quite. I can not recommend this program to anyone. So my recommendation spend 10,000 some where else and save the 40,000 to help you get through their program.I am almost done with the program and regret the day I stepped into it. Even when I get my license I will not feel good about what I have been through and seen what has happened to other students.
