    I have encountered many issues with this school from telling me one thing and then doing another. Initially I was told during my semester I would be able to complete my last weeks of school (weeks ****) from home and come into the testing center for my tests. I received this information via a phone call with the Assistant Director of the *** program ***************************. I had completed my clinicals so she said this would be fine and she would work with me. She also stated to email her and keep her updated on my health. Later, I received an email that this was not allowed even though it had been approved by ****************. This ultimately led to the school letting me know that I would have to take a Leave of Absence that could have been avoided altogether had I not received this false information from ****************. If I had known this I would have pushed through and finished the last three classes. They are classroom setting classes and I managed to push through clinicals which I why this situation is so frustrating. I also called to schedule a meeting with student services and **************** in which she conveniently did not make it to. To add onto the issue of being forced to take a Leave of absence i received forms to return from a leave of absence from which I never took yet. It adds to the disorganization of this school. When returning from my leave of absence I ended up back at the hospital which I alerted ***************************, the Assistant Director of student services. She later emailed me that I could give her a call back when I get a chance. On December 19 I receive a voicemail that I need to return their call that day or I will be dismissed. On December 19 I received a school dismissal email and forms. I didnt not receive even a day before being dismissed from the school. I was also denied an appeal from the President and CEO of the school ***********************************. When asked what was considered for my dismissal I did not receive a response. I had good grades and attendance.

    I honestly am so disappointed in my experience with this school. I was thrilled to get into their BSN program and was looking forward to learning and working hard to achieve my goals. The lack of respect this school shows for their students is beyond comprehension. They can never seem to really explain why they do things the way they do and it's a lot of politically correct answers that at the end leaves me feeling more disappointed.I was in the program for over a year and had good grades in all my classes. You have to score above 75 percent on all your classes to be passing and I took all the classes for prerequisites I was like in it to win it I wanted the whole from A to Z experience. I pulled a huge loan to be in the program and was never aware that I would ever be asked to wait over 8 months to retake one class! This school does not care about its students. If youre looking for a school that will help you in obtaining your goals in a timely manner this isnt the school for you. I might as well should have taken my units at a community college and transferred to a UC as it would have cost less and I would have had much better education and over all experience. I do hope these reviews help give the owner some insight as to how they can create better options and ways in supporting the students who pay over 100k for their education. There are so many students in the same situation as I am who have waited a year to get a spot back into a cohort for one class to be retaken. Anyone I tell about my situation is in disbelief the lack of support this school provides in making sure your still in school to graduate. They do not disclose that this would ever be a possibility of happening in orientation. They could problem solve if they wanted an hire other teachers to ensure they get students to retake classes sooner then 8 months or a year, they just choose not to.
