Dallas Nursing Institute

I WAS A NURSE AT A FACILITY WITH THE STUDENTS AND IVE NEVER SEEN SUCH HANDS OFF INSTRUCTOR'S. The ethnic instructors stayed with the students walked around. The others stayed up front in the lobby the entire time. I told several of them they pay her to teach not me I'm at work now she is welcome to get this cart if she like and TEACH! I would never attend a school pay all that money get in dept and still not have my instructors teach me what I need to know I dnt think so.

Even if it's your last option, do NOT go to this school. As an RN student, your clinicals will primarily take place at a sad excuse for a nursing home. One of the teachers, Dr. Boroff, is NOT suited to be teaching, as there is actually something wrong in her mind (I don't mean that to be mean, I'm just being honest; something is really wrong there). When a group of us voiced our concerns about her teaching capabilities to a higher-up, we were told we needed to discuss that with Dr. Boroff. I'm sorry, how do you, as a student, tell a teacher that she shouldn't be teaching anymore because she's losing her marbles? The higher-ups don't care about students' concerns, and it appears as though that has been a recurring problem, seeing as DNI was under investigation by the Board of Nursing in 2017, and that exact complaint was listed under student complaints.nnThe teachers literally set you up to fail. As freshmen, we were given a SENIOR exam, and we were scolded when none of us passed it. If Mrs. Armstead hadn't stood up for us, that test would have counted towards our grade (the majority of us scored in the 50s, and I think the highest grade was in the 60s). Out of all the staff, I only had genuine respect for Mrs. Armstead, Mrs. Love, and Dr. Barrow. They answer your questions without belittling you or making you feel totally stupid, which is a rarity at this school. There was even one teacher (Mrs. Chaudhry) who followed me around all day at a clinical just verbally harassing me (I'm a very reserved and introverted person, so I guess she saw that as a weakness in me and preyed on it). I've never accused a teacher of singling me out in all my years, but boy, she sure did. She was actually the last straw for me. After that clinical, I decided I would finish out that semester, but I wasn't going to spend another penny on DNI after that.nnDon't EVEN get me started on how unorganized this school is. Most teachers don't have a clue what they're doing, and it's not totally their fault. They, like the students, get thrown into clinical settings where they just expect us all to know what to do, and it creates a world of confusion. The schedule is extremely inconsistent, and they will constantly change it at the last minute, so if you have kids, make sure you have a babysitter on standby 24/7, because you never know what that school is going to do.nnThere's so much more I could dive into, but then this review would be even more of a novel than it already is! I'll end it like this. I read all of these reviews before I enrolled too. I also thought to myself that they were comments coming from entitled students who probably expected a nursing degree to just fall right into their hands. If I only knew then what I know now, I'd be $7,000 richer. The credits I completed don't transfer, but I'm totally ok with that. I WANT to start completely over at a nursing school where the staff actually knows what they're doing so that I can rest assured I will know what I'm doing when I go out into the field, which is something I was afraid I would be leaving without if I continued at DNI. This is mainly because Dr. Boroff spilled the beans that a few DNI students were fired from their nursing jobs because they didn't know what they were doing.nHope this review helps! Just know if I could give zero stars, I so would.nnEdit: I figured that I'd come back and add that I went to a different nursing program at a community college, and have been successfully practicing as a pediatric nurse for a year now. Nursing school is hard no matter what, but where you go DOES matter!!

Currently a Medical Assistant Student, I graduate in April and as soon as I graduate I want to go straight to LPN school, so glad I read these reviews..my goodness.

I’m so glad I read these reviews. I won’t bother with this school. There have a new name but I’m sure it’s the same BS

MJ was very unprofessional and very rude to me. I completely forgot about my first appointment and my second one my daughter has a fever of 104, so I was unable to make it I let her know and she said “OK WELL THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IVE HAD TO RESCHEDULE YOU, SO HAVE A GOOD DAY.” Wouldn’t even let me reschedule. Why would anyone want to go to a school like this, with staff like that?
