Giving two stars only because there are some redeeming qualities.
For the most part, this community college isn t focused on producing quality nurses. They quote a 98% NCLEX success rate which is true, 98% of the mere 14% that actually manage to graduate will pass their NCLEX.
The campus is obviously driven by collecting $$ from students to put into administrative staff and not much else. The parking lot is riddled with potholes, the classrooms are dirty and outdated, the computers offered in the labs are old and nearly obsolete.
There s not much organization and not much care for students. Deans can be flippant, rude and downright cruel. Not much help is offered from supporting staff, large issues involving descrimination and isolation brought to the attention of administration are chalked up to a bad day . Asking questions or relaying concerns are met with threats to be kicked out of the program.
Redeeming qualities are that most instructors enjoy teaching and truly motivate their students. Most classes are hard to fail because instructors offer tutoring, labs, and frequent communication. Registrar is very willing to help with scheduling, and financial aide is willing to create do-able payment plans when needed. Corporate is very helpful when it comes to concerns and complaints, though they do not follow up with you after you submit a complaint.
If administrators on campus cared more about the success of their students, the campus would produce more successful graduates and less would drop out. I am too far in the program to transfer to another location without losing 6+ quarters of credits, or I would have found another college. It is easy to feel like just a number or an open wallet, as most of administration is not interested in who students are as individuals.
