"Attending Stanbridge University in Irvine as a part-time LVN student while working full-time has been an incredible experience. The instructors are absolutely phenomenal — they bring a perfect blend of professional expertise and genuine care to their teaching. Each lesson is engaging, practical, and directly applicable to real-world clinical settings. Their willingness to answer questions, offer support, and go the extra mile makes all the difference. I never felt like 'just another student.' Instead, I always felt valued, encouraged, and confident that I was building the skills I needed to succeed in my nursing career.Beyond the outstanding teaching, the community at Stanbridge has been nothing short of amazing. My peers are not only bright and driven but also incredibly supportive. Despite the demands of balancing full-time work with classes, I always felt part of a team—whether we were studying together, sharing experiences, or celebrating small victories. This peer camaraderie, along with this flexible part-time schedule, allowed me to thrive academically and professionally. Thanks to Stanbridge, I'm now better prepared and more confident in my nursing practice than I ever could have imagined.Thank You,Maria GonzalezRead Less"

"For the most part Stanbridge was great! But there were a voice instructors that I’m not sure were vetted thoroughly, while educated from a nursing aspect some lacked integrity, were judgmental as well as okay with their behavior. I do think graduation twice a year would be nice, as I finished my program 9/2024, been in my new role 6 months and I’m just walking. Communication throughout the program was a struggle, nonetheless I left prepared for my field.Cindy B, Tiffany K, Joe B, Elias R, and Evaristo V are GEMS. Stanbridge’s AVN program thrived because of them!Read Less"

"As a recent graduate of the Vocational Nursing program at Stanbridge Irvine, I can say the experience was both challenging and rewarding. The program is intense and fast-paced, but it’s designed to prepare you for the realities of the nursing field. The instructors are knowledgeable and many bring real-world clinical experience into their teaching. Skills lab was hands-on and well-equipped, which made it easier to build confidence in performing clinical tasks.What stood out most was the structure—everything from ATI integration to simulation labs and clinical rotations helped reinforce classroom learning. The clinical sites varied in quality, but I gained valuable experience working with real patients under supervision. Support services like tutoring and NCLEX prep resources were available, but you had to advocate for yourself to fully benefit from them.Stanbridge demands a lot, but if you stay focused and take advantage of what’s offered, it can set a solid foundation for your LVN career. Just be prepared to work hard and stay organized.Read Less"

"They are currently without holding me from my education. I’m a current student but now they are saying the cohort I was supposed to attend is too small now I am halfway through my education and just want to finish. I would avoid this school at all costs because they truly do not care about their students."

"The warmth and efficiency of the admissions and financial aid staff throughout the enrollment process was an excellent experience. From the first day of orientation through the first weeks of school, dedicated student services staff and instructors communicated with encouragement and support towards success on this challenging and exciting educational journey. It is amazing to be a part of the incredible student community with the AVN program at Stanbridge University."

"So far it's been a challenging yet exciting experience. My Term 1 A&P teachers are very helpful and keep us engaged. I also take stats and just wish there was a better/helpful process for homework/class activities. Other than that i've enjoyed it so far. (:"

"I really enjoyed my time at Stanbridge University and with my cohort. I think their programs really help to prepare you for your career after graduation. I felt confident taking my exam, and had a lot of study support from the school and my cohort. If I decide to take the next step in my career, I will go back to Stanbridge."

"Great University to go to, it is expensive tho. I passed all my classes and graduated on time. Just do what is expected and follow the rules and wear the correct uniform. You know your enrolling in nursing school it's strict some instructors are strict and will send you home for being late 2 minutes. Read, read, read all the chapters that are assigned, take notes. Don't be absent. Always show up."

"You are given so much support and guidance from staff. It’s very reassuring to know they will be available for help are willing to be there for you when you need them, especially during lab. There’s also a lot of advanced technology that Stanbridge has that helps you learn such as the syn-daver and 3D digital models in the computer lab."

"When it comes to private nursing schools in the area, it looks like Stanbridge is one of the better ones. They do have high pass rates for the NCLEX and are ranked high in the state. Like other schools, they could be better. They can get disorganized"

"So many resources available to all student to make sure we all succeed. Professors I’ve had so far have gone above and beyond. It really feels like everyone I’ve ever talked to or interacted with cares about me and making sure I do well and get to where I want to be."

"Stanbridge, so far, is very informational and easy to complete my classes. Everything is straight forward and they have a lot of resources at your disposal. The online classes for me have been easy to navigate making it a great start to my my first term as a stanbridge student."

"Still attending school, but I absolutely love my group of study buddies and the fact that the teachers are supportive to most people. They host study classes and want everyone to succeed for the most part. I'm still on my first semester and it is getting a little difficult but I know everyone else is in the same boat"

"Our program had a lot of clinical cancellations even until the end. Most of our theory teacher were good. If I recommend Stanbridge, I don’t know. Is a very strict program for a part time LVN class and clinical sites weren’t challenging enough to learn and practice the new skills."

"Everything when it comes to our education and the classes are satisfactory. Although many of us students severely dislike edverum and prefer Canvas due to the lags and the complexity of the app in comparison. I would also add that all the students expected a bit more resources wether it was more uniform deals, or student centered events for to the amount of tuition we pay."

"The LVN nursing program was a mess. They overcharge so many people in my cohort while others were paying different tuition fees for the same exact classes, that itself says so much about this place. The people writing the good reviews are some of the Staff!! Dont go here, save your money go elsewhere."
