Keiser University Sarasota — Attraction in Sarasota

I’ve been at Keiser for about a year and a half now. I took my prerequisites here and I’m currently in my second semester of the ASN nursing program. As for every school I’m sure there are better teachers than others but as far as my experience here most everybody is nothing short from amazing. From my admission advisor Krystal to John and the other lady at the front desk, to Miss Abbey and Katie in the library, to Patty in financial aid, and all the professors and deans are so wonderful. Yes, this school is expensive but it truly is a case of you get what you pay for. At SCF I couldn’t even get an email back sometimes but here at Keiser most of all the deans and counselors have their doors open all day for students to walk in and are more than happy to help anybody. In my experience if they see you putting the work in they truly do everything in their power to help you keep going in your school career. What I love most is everybody here WANTS to see you succeed. My professors have never turned me down anytime I’ve asked for help or tutoring and they will regularly check in if they see you struggling and help you come up with a plan to improve. Even when I was hospitalized my first semester of nursing for a few days my professors and Dr. Cohen were so kind enough to work with me while I was sick to ensure I could get caught up and still pass the semester. I’m truly thankful for everybody at this school and I’m so...

Now that I am graduated I feel like I can honestly say how this school is without receiving any repercussions. Which that alone being said should alert you to a major problem. I would have given less stars if it was for the teachers I had and how hard they wanted us to succeed, sadly 3 of those teachers are no longer there. When I was accepted to Keiser I was so excited and felt so chosen. That feeling quickly faded by the middle of first semester. I was in the associate nursing program. The higher ups in this nursing program are quick to demoralize the students and no matter what, it is always your fault if something goes wrong. They do not hold up to their standards set in place when it comes to helping students succeed. I wish I could begin to share the horror stories that I experienced or witnessed here but I would run out of available words to type. The nursing director is honestly the root of the issues in this school and sadly it was brought to the president many times by every classmate but nothing ever was done. Nursing school is hard enough. Please look at all of your options before considering this school. Find a school where positivity and student success is the motto by the nursing director and not just a few...

I have had a wonderful experience in the nursing program at the Sarasota Keiser campus. Yes, it's pricey, but you get what you pay for. The resources needed to succeed in my classes were always abundant (even outside the nursing dept.) The staff always went out of their way to help students. I had wonderful interactions with the librarians, writing lab and even the front desk staff are always smiling and friendly. The best part about my experience though was the educators. They are knowledgeable, professional and caring. Keep in mind this is an adult learning environment, so tardiness, absences and a poor attitude won't get you far. I previously attended SCF and USF, it's a lot easier to fall through the cracks at those schools. My experience at Keiser does not even compare. I would recommend this school, specifically the nursing program, to anyone that's a dedicated and hard-working individual seeking to better their life both professionally...
