ATA College — Local services in Springdale

I am currently a student in the LPN to RN bridge program. I have never been to a school like this.

I have had a horrible experience with this nursing school. I literally have a professor that ignores every email and never responds.

The good instructors are constantly leaving for a reason, students are constantly leaving for a reason. The red flags are all there. This school has a bad reputation and word of...

This is my second quarter here at the ATA campus in Springdale and I have to say that coming here was one of the best decisions that I have made in furthering my career. The office staff is super friendly and will help in anyway possible. The deans and professors are very knowledgeable at what is taught as they are or were working out in the nursing field at a point. The student to instructor ratio is low so I get more time with the instructors if I need any more help. They also offer individual tutoring so you get the help when you need it. I love my ATA Campus and all that it offers. I would recommend anyone...
