Arizona College of Nursing - Ontario — Attraction in Ontario

UPDATED REVIEW AT THE BOTTOM!! Cons: Extremely difficult school/classes. Exams and assignments are not blended but graded separately. Some professors and are extremely and some mediocre. Need a min of 77% for assignments side and another on exams 77% min. Ni rounding. Not even a little bit. No help provided in order to help circumvent failing. No study area. No break room for students. No snack Area sometimes only a vending machine that is old and sometimes doesn’t work. Sometimes lunches will be only 30 mins in a full 8hr day so pack a Lunch. No fridge available. Perhaps in the future, they will build more rooms and make it more welcoming for students but for now it can be a little bit of a struggle as many of us can’t really study comfortably at home. No nursing school is easy, but having a student environment space would help. Arizona state has a large nice breakroom. We need the same in every campus. Have to buy your books (hard copies) and your own laptop one will not be provided for you. Tuition costs are strictly for tuition, not materials or uniforms. Some students need to improve and maintain professional and courteous attitudes. High turnover of faculty. No incentives for referring people. I referred two students never received any type of incentive.

Pros: Good learning experience, some professors truly care about our education. We are motivated to keep putting one foot in front of the other. There is a finish line. Provided with digital books. Able to start with none or some pre reqs; able to repeat classes if one doesn’t pass the first time. Entrance Hesi is reasonable. Strong student to student support in classes. Nice uniforms. Good location, in Ontario. Slightly cheaper than west coast. My advice is: Do your work. Don’t talk about your teachers (unless it’s good) finish school. Get out. Scholarship opportunities. Sporadic raffles, mostly Starbucks, and most times Tempe wins ten main prizes. I say it’s rigged.

Updated review spring 2024: rules have changed. They will drop you like a dead fly falls after it gets smacked! Does not matter what semester in core you are in.

New management, new dean (they don’t care so they don’t help) and campus president. Went from ok to bad to worse. More influx of new applicants so no more appeals as all have been denied w/o reasonable explanation, no formal proof or transparency. Please be sure if applying at this school, you’re willing to let your money go to waste as they are not truly invested in your academics on passing. Also makes it very difficult to transfer your credits to other schools. They are not regionally accredited they are nationally accredited. In case anyone wants to know. The teachers are one thing but the assistant dean and dean are no help. Look elsewhere!!...

Hi everyone! I wanted to take the time to share my experience at the Ontario location. First and foremost, the staff don't care about their students and act in an extremely unprofessional demeanor. I attended 8 general ed classes and the first semester of the nursing program. Initially, everything in my general ed classes was seemingly organized. However, after starting the nursing program everything went downhill. They don't have enough supplies for all the students considering how much they charge you. The professors are continuously being changed. If you have questions for your professor you'll be told to either look online or look through the book. Once, my friend and I were confronted by the CEO who expressed her dislike for a professor. Some of the clinical instructors make you feel like you're stupid and expect that you know everything. When you go to the lab to practice your skills they have you watch an ATI video and expect you to perform the skills without demonstration. Recently, I started applying to schools just to find out that they are denying my transcripts from this school, including my general ed. When it comes to grading, exams are separated from homework and classes; even if you're passing your class but your exam scores are less than 77% you won't pass. Please, please, please do not attend this school, It's a nightmare. If I could I would leave...

Enrolling in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program at Arizona College of Nursing 13 months ago has truly been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. From day one, I have been consistently met with excellence, compassion, and unwavering support from the general education and nursing faculty alike. Every educator I have encountered is not only highly knowledgeable in their field but also genuinely passionate about teaching and to their students success . Their dedication is evident in every lecture, lab, and clinical experience. They go above and beyond to provide students with the tools, encouragement, and knowledge needed to thrive, not just in school, but in our future nursing careers. Every week brings new challenges and victories, and I continue to feel more inspired, more prepared, and more confident. Thank you to all of my wonderful...
