I have two major issues I'd like to publicize as a graduate from this program. Before I was a student, I had obtained several certifications that allowed me to work with clients from a wellness perspective - personal training, general nutritional guidance, etc. (like a health/wellness coach if you will). I did this business while in school and it was a great way to hep my family survive while no income was coming in as a student. It was 100% legal and within the guidelines of these certifications. NUHS decided they were going to threaten me and shut my business down.
The previous VP of the school (who will go unnamed) spear headed the attack. I was threatened to be expelled from school and threats to inform the Chiropractic Board to prevent me from ever being a doctor. It was scary for sure, b/c I didn't understand why they would do something like this, what was the end game here? I was operating legally and ethically, and it felt more personal on their end. Being a student, having limited funds, and not wanting to put my future career in jeopardy, the only option was to put my tail in between my legs and back into a corner. I closed everything, all the hard work and years of effort and succumbed to their threats. After spending close to $200,000 on my education, I didn't think this was a great way to be treated.
After graduating and moving on, I thought the harassment was over. Years after graduating and separating myself from National's toxic environment, I was doing well for myself. Life was good, and business was even better. Out of nowhere I then had a major heart incident and decided to change the direction of my company. I needed to simplify life, and started to go through a major transition. During this transition finances become tight and I was looking for a gig to fill the gap until I could get my company back up and running. I applied for a position at a facility that will go unnamed. Everything went incredibly well with the interview and hiring process. I had several colleagues who worked for them who provided glowing recommendations, I met with one of the owner's, the clinic director and interviewed well. My references called me and told me they gave fantastic recommendations and that I should have them job for sure. Long story short, I ended up not getting the job. I asked my good friend who worked for the company what happened, everything looked so promising? He informed me that somewhere along the interview process, this company spoke with NUHS and whoever they spoke with urged them not to hire me. Another professional sabotage from National University of Health Sciences.
To this day I'm not sure what I did to this school to deserve this type of treatment. I actually got really good grades and was a good doctor. The worst part about this is I've heard from other colleagues they've been treated in similar ways. This is not an isolated incident. This is an incredibly unfortunate set of circumstances and I think the public should be aware of how this institution is run. Furthermore, every prospective student should be aware of this. Hence posting & sharing this information.
As you get older, you get wiser. There is no revenge I seek and what was first anger and resentment, has turned into motivation and fuel. I do hope NUHS learns from this. Now I maintain 3 extremely successful practices, and life is very good. I highly discourage prospective students from attending this school. There are far too many other programs that will not do this to do you - and hopefully this never happens to any other NUHS students. The 1 star is for the few amazing faculty members that played a role in shaping my career. Other than that, I'd stay away.
