Valencia College Reviews of Associates in Nursing

"This program is geared for money making only.I have a B but didn't pass material child health. Only around 10 students pass the program to go on to set for the boards. Not happy what so ever. There's no chances to make up any points that you might need to pass. I give Valencia a failing grade of -F"

"I am thankfully graduating shortly, thank god. This program is a nightmare. They really take pleasure in failing people. We started with 40 students in our cohort. 19 of us are graduating. The class behind ours started out with 40 as well. Only 8 have passed on to the final semester. Stop giving these people your hard earned money. It’s a scam."

"Don’t waste your money at Valencia. I’ve been fortunate enough to have made it far in my program. Originally, 40 students started the program and now we have 21. I’m not sure about other programs but this one prides in failing you. You will be teaching yourself most of the material (This isn’t a lie). All the other reviews are spot on. Don’t chance it; you will regret it. It’s too late for me, save yourself!"

"The Nursing program here is a joke. Its sad because we work so hard and jump through so many hoops just to get in the program. I made it in, and withdrew 2 1/2 weeks in. Almost completely ruined my desire to be a nurse. The instructors were not easy to contact, felt lost a lot, so much information thrown at you with little guidance or help. You're Expected to not receive less than a 77 on anything or thats failing. Dose calculations test is 98% anything less you fail. But you have no help to learn! Expect to teach yourself everything. This is a lot of information and a lot is expected from the students, but not much is given from the school or the instructors. It's not fair to expect so much of us, but give us so little to work with. Its not cheap to go to school, I expected way more for what I paid for. Now I am currently working on more pre reqs to attend a different school. Go elsewhere if you can. I wish I did when I started hearing the horror stories."

"I wouldn’t recommend Valencia college nursing program. The program is set to fail people. Two third of my cohort fail throughout the program. They don’t care about the students. Most of the instructors don’t really teach! The tests are weird and you will be tested on materials that are not part of your exam. They are unorganized and their course calendar is a joke! They constantly change it and if you cannot accommodate then they simply say you are welcome to resequence!"

"What a waste of time! I did an online orientation and paid to get registered and get going with classes. Prior to registering for classes, the school requires you do an "IN-PERSON" orientation which is utterly ridiculous. The school doesn't allow you to start registering for classes if you haven't gone to the "IN-PERSON" orientation. The IN-PERSON orientation consist of talking to an advisor and getting a tour of the campus. I, for one, don't care to look around the campus not speak to an advisor since I can figure it out on my own on-line. This college is based off of money and that's all they care about. Not to mention taking time out of my day to look at a campus; seen one campus, seen them all."
