Bryant & Stratton College

Do NOT go here for the ADN program!nSome instructors don't know how to teach. They can't answer your questions or they read directly from the textbook for lecture. Now I know you really have to study and read your materials to become a nurse, but lectures are supposed to help students. Some instructors seem to have forgotten that.nIt is a fast paced program. I liked that it was under two years, but you really have to commit. I ended up having to cut back my hours at work to make time for studying and homework.nThe school makes you do an authentic assignment in each course. It is supposed to help you advance your studies. HAH! 99% of the assignments were a complete waste of time. The program also loves busy work. Pointless homework that doesn't help the students out.nThe Dean of Nursing accused the graduating class of cheating in front of guest speakers three days before the end of the semester.nThey do not care about your work schedule.nYou do not have a choice for where your clinical is.nThey will say they try to place you at a clinical site near your home. I ended up over one hour away from my site two semesters in a row.nClass until 2100 and 0630 clinical an hour away the next morning. Fun, hey?nThey do not own up to their mistakes or miscommunication. The student is always wrong in their eyes.

I see alot of 1 stars here for review. I'm sorry, but after school I had to study / homework 3-5 hours a day in order to pass. Plus I worked full time the first semester, but by the 5th semester I cut down to just 7 hours a week which is nothing. This was probably one of the hardest things I have ever done and not everyone can do it! Nursing school is not easy and not matter where you go!! My friend went to WCTC had a long wait to get into clincal and there program is also no cake walk. If you don't put in more hours outside of school into studying you will fail. Do not just rely on your teacher to teach you everything you will actually have to do the readings that no one wants to do and do practice questions until you feel like your head will explode. Nothing worth something comes easy! I had very hard but knowledgeable instructors and if you are having trouble with a concept or skill they are great resources to use as well as your textbooks. Nothing is perfect so that is why I gave 4 stars. Don't give up!

I went here for the paralegal studies program in 2015. It was a very rewarding experience Mr.Geary , Mr.Vanderkin, Aaron Gholston, Andy Broman, & Mr.Albers were all very helpful. But you have to put in the work though and really be dedicated to succeed here.

Of all the reviews I read stating do NOT go here for ADN, I have to advise the same for BSN. Run away! The program is so disorganized and only a small amount of the professors know what is going in. You have to teach yourself almost everything (which for the amount you’re paying in tuition I find downright terrible), which is where I will talk about the ATI testing they do. I went 3 semesters in this program without any type of exposure to this ATI testing to during my 4th semester having 3 ATI final exams that were worth 9% of the grade. One of my classes had around 30 people and only 5 of those 30 people passed the ATI exam. The rest of us lost out on 9% of our grade because we failed the ATI test. That 9% is the difference between passing and failing miserably. A letter grade or two if I must. Don’t dare try to fight the ATI bologna they have set up, because you will be ignored, or you will be told you did not study enough. I emailed the dean of nursing about this ATI testing and so did a few of my colleagues. We were all ignored. I requested to meet with the dean face to face to talk about this, and again I was ignored. The school and their staff will NOT own up to their mistakes, instead it’s always the students fault. One of the three ATI finals I had to take was a major issue due to the fact that we did not get the textbooks for this exam until halfway through the semester, which gave us no time to study DOUBLE the material for this exam. I gave my professor of that class a lot of respect because they really fought for these books. The school couldn’t seem to care less because we were constantly given the run around, yet the other two lecture sections of this course had their books!! We were set up to fail. This school is awful. They rob you and their “life prep” slogan is a scam. You do not get prepared for anything. If you are considering Bryant & Stratton for nursing, run away. Go somewhere else. Just Incase you, the reader are not convinced that this school is all about the money, here is some proof: I left the nursing program after the semester ended on December 18. I got a letter on December 26 stating that I have to pay my student loans back!!! (As if I didn’t already know....I signed the MPN, I know I have to give back what I borrowed). Three days later on December 29, I finally got a letter stating that they noticed I was not coming back. BSC only cares about money, so do not go here. Go somewhere that is credible and well established.

The nursing program can be chaotic and is always changing, but the majority of instructors genuinely care and want to see you do well. If you're someone who's very adaptable to change and would like to get your RN in under 2 years, go for it! But be prepared to work your butt off.
