What to Expect

A Note From Staff

• "We are nationally accredited, BRN-approved, and have a high NCLEX pass rate. Our students have a great clinical experience, and the campus is inexpensive and supportive."
• "Students need to be quick learners, seek help when needed, including financial help, and learn to think and act critically."
• "This is a very rigorous program. Students must spend a lot of time learning theory and skills and attending clinics. Additionally, they need to find time to study on their own and with the study group."
• "The program is hard, but we have great resources. We do faculty and peer tutoring for students who need additional help. We purchase online resources for students using grants."
• "A supportive family and a stable income are essential, as most students won't be able to work full-time or even part-time in some semesters. We do open houses where we invite family members to attend. In this meeting, faculty and current students will talk to incoming students and families to let family members know the importance of their support for the next two years and let them know how much time students need to study or in learning sessions to be successful."
