I have attended GCU since Summer of 2013. I love it! My adviser is excellent and keeps in close touch with me by phone. We email back and forth every few weeks. I have been privileged to have some amazing instructors. They have all been very helpful and engaged. I have learned so much and I have mastered APA format writing all the papers that are required. Research really helps you to learn a lot. I am honored to be a part of GCU. Only 4 courses left until graduation. I love it so much I am planning... Read More to get my MSN through them also. I have attended other schools online and this is by far the best. I have nothing negative to say. I am sorry some of you have had issues and I don't know your circumstance but in my book GCU is top-notch.

University of South Florida's Adult Nurse Practitioner program is awesome. The Pros are the numerous hospitals and healthcare systems located close in the area as well as the advanced technology and research the program offers. I attended undergraduate school here and was very happy with the program. The cons would be the large classes and the amount of adult and online learning required. It is up to the student too use the tools given in order to learn all there is to know. For me, I am very dedicated... Read More and want to know everything about my field of interest so it works, but it may not be right for everyone.

Now that I have made it through the traditional BSN program, I feel as though I can write a review on Chamberlain University. So here it goes! First and foremost, if you need any pre-nursing classes (such as anatomy and physiology or chemistry), do not take them here. Instead, I would strongly suggest that you take them at an accredited community college. It is the same quality of education and is cost-effective. Additionally, if you can help it, try to pay out of pocket (after grants and scholarships).... Read More I worked throughout nursing school, lived with family, and graduated with no loans. It's hard but doable! To continue, it is important to remember that Chamberlain U is an accelerated program. Because of this, you should have excellent time management skills and you should figure out which study methods work best for you prior to enrollment. Unfortunately, this school does not offer a medical terminology class, so I'd advise you to learn the medical lingo before applying. This will serve you better for when you are ready for your entrance (HESI) examination and begin your nursing journey. Chamberlain U utilizes ATI as their main form of examination proctoring. However, the school also uses PassPoint as well, and some of the information can conflict with the other. Because of this, I would focus more on ATI as the majority of your focus and learning comes from this. Additionally, ensure to read the ATI review modules - these are a great outline of information as they stick to the need-to-know facts. I would not recommend purchasing supplemental/"required" books listed on the syllabus as there is 1) Not enough time to read everything in an 8-week course, 2) The PowerPoints are based off of those books and are sufficient enough, and 3) Your examinations are through ATI. By following this "code", you can and will succeed at Chamberlain U. Remember not to take shortcuts, as these only end up hurting yourself. At the end of the day, it's just you and NCLEX! With this being said, there are some drawbacks to the program as well. 1) They will not allow examinations to be moved even with extenuating circumstances, and extenuating circumstance appeals are almost never approved. (This has affected me personally and caused a great amount of disdain towards the school because of it. I felt it was unprofessional, cruel, and going against nursing ethics to have a physically ill student with a severe respiratory illness come to class to take an examination). So future nurses, please push through so that you don't have to deal with them any longer than you have to, 2) The tutoring center is a joke. They review next to nothing. You'd have better luck YouTubing it (I recommend Cathy P, or Sarah RN), 3) Nursing professors here are a hit or miss - you'll either love them and learn a lot, or have to self-teach everything, and 4) The student advisors are hard to reach and only get back to you if you are persistent. So there you have it. I tried to remain as neutral and unbiased as I possibly could. However, this was based on my personal experiences (and what I witnessed from the interactions between Chamberlain U and my peers). But if you truly want to be a nurse, nothing will stop you and you'll make it out (it's possible, I'm proof of it). Nursing programs are challenging and extremely rigorous, so be sure to allow yourself time to decompress and unwind every now and then. Practice self-care. Remember that failures happen and it's okay, you just get back up and try again. So future nurses, wherever you decide to go for nursing school (whether it's here or somewhere else), remain focused and do not ever stray away from your goal! We need you. Sincerely, AU, BSN

PROS: The nursing dept has a good reputation. Many undergrads are hired before graduation and most pass NCLEX on the first attempt. Some professors go above and beyond and take on more than required. They deserve so much more recognition. This includes clinical instructors, who have stood up for students so they鈥檙e not penalized for factors out of their control. The BSN patho class is rigorous and extremely valuable; this professor should teach across all levels for consistency. Under normal circumstances,... Read More students get more clinical hours than required (600 required, >800 offered). This is what saved the class of 2020 when they pulled everyone from clinical. The campus is well maintained, and the cafeteria is good, albeit expensive. There are good volunteer and leadership opportunities. CONS: Disorganization and miscommunication. Later in the program, we kept hearing, "in nursing, you need to learn to adapt to change," but there鈥檚 a point where the organization needs to take accountability. Senior year theory is basically self-taught; it would make no difference if it were online or in person, other than saving a trip. Preceptorships need to be reorganized to where placements, contact info, and specific schedules are determined between the school and hospitals ahead of time. Students should NOT have to panic and grasp in the dark for info. Assignments should be graded in reasonable time; if students are expected to meet due dates, professors should too. A lot of papers weren鈥檛 returned until after final grades were due. Cost of attendance now exceeds $50k/year. You鈥檒l likely owe thousands, even if you get tens of thousands in scholarships. There are some discrepancies in financial aid here too. Classmates on a 2nd bachelor's or didn't qualify for aid had to keep calling to ask why they suddenly owed more AFTER finalizing private loans. They had to scramble and run to the bank for even more loans. One former student literally had to start a GoFundMe so they could start the semester on time. Resources are distributed unevenly. The ads are attractive, saying 90-something percent of students receive aid. However, it doesn鈥檛 make sense that there are passionate, community-devoted, high-achieving students who applied for nursing scholarships and heard nothing. Then there was one student who continuously received numerous scholarships, as many as 5 or more new awards or endowments at a time, and made sure we all knew about it. The criteria or rationale for this was ambiguous and unclear. Finally, the university offered 2021 students tuition relief but offered no relief for the graduating class of 2020, despite a massive lack of support and decline in the quality of education from March to May 2020, which we will still be paying full price for. OVERALL: I worked hard for this degree and value my education. I value the professors who supported us, and the friends who supported each other. But, I can't ignore the cons, especially how expensive it is to go here. If I could do it all over again, I鈥檇 probably go the community college route and bridge up instead. I will be encouraging my family and friends to consider this perspective before making decisions on where to apply.

I currently attend this school and I I have to be honest it is a huge waste of time. A good amount of time at clinicals is spent just trying to pass the day and they require an extremely high amount of clinical hours which makes it an even bigger waste. Along with clinical hours, they make you attend countless seminars and events, some that you have to pay for, that are of no value. They truly do not value the time of students. I am writing this review from a pointless 12 hour seminar. 3 of the hours... Read More were spent at a coffee shop because of poor planning on the instructors/administrators part. On top of wasting our time, much of the staff does not really know what they are doing and do not contribute to students education. I do not recommend this school. Do NOT go here. -from an honest reviewer

I have chosen the University of Detroit Mercy to further my education because that is where I received my baccalaureate degree and my foundation for nursing. I admired the quality of education during my undergraduate course work, as well as the incorporation of service to the community. I desire more of that as I move forward in my nursing career. I won't be in the graduate nursing program until the fall but I obtained my bachelors of science in nursing from the University of Detroit Mercy (UDM).... Read More UDM is a private catholic university on the west side of Detroit, Michigan, who not only prides themselves on high quality education of their students, but on community involvement from their students to the surrounding community of the university. UDM vision statement says 鈥淭he University of Detroit Mercy will be recognized as a premier private university in the Great Lakes region, distinguished by graduates who lead and serve in their communities鈥�. In fact, to ensure that each student serves their community in some capacity, UDM has implemented a required service commitment component into to all of their programs, making it a requirement for graduation. Due to this requirement, I have learned that is very significant to give back to the community.
