I've had a great experience so far. Everyone has an open door policy. The common goal is to make sure you succeed! Everyone I've had the pleasure of coming into direct contact with is friendly and caring.
If you just plan on getting your LPN, this school is fine.... but if you plan on going any further....BEWARE!!! NO...I REPEAT... NO...NONE...NOT EVEN ONE CLASS TRANSFERS TO ANY OTHER COLLEGE.!!!! I'VE GOT A STUDENT LOAN FOR $30,000+ NOW.....WITH NO DEGREE!!! I wasted 2 years of my life here...thought I was at least getting my Associates Degree and could continue at another college to get my Bachelor of Science in Nursing. They lead me to believe they are an "accredited college"....THEY ARE NOT ACCREDITED!!!! At ALL!!!! I have to take all my classes over at a REAL college now...and start all over. And ADD ON TO MY STUDENT LOANS!!! I'll be in debt forever. Well....at least I have my LPN. Sure did waste 2 years and racked up the loan thanks to Fortis.
The worst school ever! They don t care about your personal life ( kids, or anything else) just the money that people are paying. ALL LIES credits doesn t transfer, this school is a waste of time/money.. NOBODY CARES ENOUGH TO HELP...They don t give you the proper training you need to to be in the medical field the teachers don t know no more than you do.... I had to give a star to make a review but it doesn t deserve that
SO FAR MY EXPERIENCE WENT WELL AND ALL THE STAFF AND STUDENTS WORK WELL AND ALL OF THEM ARE AWESOME TEAM PLAYERS, AND ALSO IT DEPENDS ON YOU HOW MUCH YOU PUT IN.
THE MORE YOU PUT IN THE MORE YOU GET
I enjoyed Fortis College and the education I obtained there. The faculty and staff were so awesome, most supported the students and wanted us to succeed! I am glad I went there and enjoy working with the degree I know I deserve! I am Laura L Kreaps, RN, WCN. I miss you all!!
My experience with the school has been very positive. I read some not so good reviews but like everything, there are two sides to a story. This school and the program I am in is a smaller program so the classes are smaller, but it allows for more one on one and better instruction.
The instructors in my program truly care about the students and are in close contact with us to be sure we are doing okay. Tutoring is available for students that are struggling (Ive used it a few times). The main thing is that you need to come to class and do the work or you will get behind because some classes move fast. But if you are having problems talking with the instructors will help because then they know how to help you or can point you in the right direction.
Overall the school is a good choice and I don't regret choosing it.
This school isn't organize and there is only 1 teacher that genuinely cares and the librarian Ms. Payne is awesome. Some of the teachers lie to try to convince you that their looking out for your best interest in all actuality their only doing what they need to keep this Bullshit school running or the programs.
This school is a scam! The admission representative that I had told an abundance of lies to get me in the door. I was told my credits would transfer (which was a lie) I was told that the Nursing program was accredited (which was another lie) I was also told that I would only be on campus 1-2 days a week (another lie) I ended up being on campus 3-4 days a week in Quarter 2. I was given an estimate worksheet from FA which equaled 9 credits because your first quarter is considered 3/4 of a quarter which means that you will have 3 classes, however I ended up with 4 classes and 19 credits out of a class of 17. All of the instructors i had were very helpful with the exception of 1. This particular instructor would read from the book and expected you to teach yourself. You ask her a question her words were look it up, research it. Students pay good money to be taught not to teach themselves. 12 students out of that class 6 passed, 5 withdrew, and 1 withdrew from the school. I took my concerns to the Dean of Nursing and the regional Vice President but my concerns were swept under the rug. I am currently out of $9970.00 and no diploma. I drove 2 hours and 12 minutes one way to pursue my nursing career and got royally screwed out of an education and money!
Very friendly staff who really cared about me and my future goals- they are really helping me to be successful and to get through these classes. I will be a nurse soon and that will change my life.
All 52 members of staff and faculty demonstrate integrity, student-focused outcomes, commitment, service excellence, and respect. Employers visit the campus daily and 20 to 50 prospective students visit or call the campus to learn about options.
