This is the first time Sumner is teaching PN students 90% online and 10% on campus. If you want that type of flexibility then be sure you can handle what comes with it. I'm currently in the first week of school, I was completely shocked when Bailie told me there was a problem with releasing our E-book ( book materials) she said we will get them in a few days. I have problems logging in to the student portal to see my courses, and I was confused about what group I will be in for labs. Therefore, ending this week 1 with confusion. Overall, I'm confident in my ability to learn the upcoming material, however I'm cautious about how we are starting the first week with some disorganization. I will continue to make reviews to help identify the issues that have been addressed on this yelp! wish me luck!

Anyways, I can't wait for my future here at Sumner College! Very excited!

With instructors from this program telling me that they did not believe in me, it was difficult to power through the intense workload while having no support system. This school is also in a relatively dangerous area, with shootings and stabbings occurring just about every week. To add onto that, the campus security avoid actually dealing with criminal acts on campus and seem to only care about handing out parking tickets while harassing innocent students.

Currently I'm in the Dental Assisting program & although I would change a few things, I am pretty happy with the experience.

I can't complain---staff is there to help, the teachers which I was lucky enough to receive are great. I would recommend it to anyone!

I recently graduated from this school, and while I am proud of earning my degree, the experience…read morewas far more stressful and frustrating than it should have been. The biggest issue was communication. Getting answers to simple questions often took days or weeks, if I received a response at all. Students were constantly left waiting for information that directly affected their education, schedules, and personal lives. The tutoring services were another major disappointment. I had more tutoring sessions canceled than completed. In my experience, appointments with Zeke Garcia and Lauren Hawana were frequently canceled with little notice, sometimes at the scheduled start time after I had already arranged my day around them. Tutoring was promoted as a resource for student success, but it was unreliable and often unavailable when needed most. What frustrated me most was the constant gap between what was promised and what was actually provided. We were told there would be tutoring, resources, guidance, career assistance, and support throughout the program. Time and time again, those promises were not fulfilled. The schedule changes created serious consequences for me personally. We were told that schedules would remain set for each term, which lasts approximately 3.5 months. Instead, schedules were repeatedly changed, making it nearly impossible to maintain stable employment while attending school. The constant changes ultimately caused conflicts with my job, and I lost my employment as a result. Losing my job also meant losing my health insurance and financial stability during an already demanding nursing program. I understand that occasional changes happen, but the lack of consistency, communication, and support had real-world consequences for students. Rather than helping students succeed, I often felt like I was being forced to navigate unnecessary obstacles on my own. I completed the program despite these challenges, but I would strongly encourage prospective students to carefully research this school and get any promises regarding schedules, tutoring, student support, resources, and career assistance in writing before enrolling.

In my pursuit of inquiring about a BSN in nursing, I came across Linfield College in PDX. I called…read moreand was told to email a gal who was in charge of admissions and that she was very helpful and would get me all the info I needed. The next day I sent her an email a couple paragraphs long stating that I would like to gather some info on transferring into the program, what that would entail being I have an undergrad, partially finished doctorate degree etc. I had also said that I would like to sit down with someone and go over my credit load and see what would transfer. Well this admissions gal, writes me back a two liner. Are you kidding me lady? Two sentences? All the info I just sent to you and asked about all I get is a two liner with no greeting? First off, if Linfield hired you to do their admissions, man oh man, they better reconsider. Has their admissions rate dropped since? Second, it definitely shows through in your return email that you clearly are not interested in future students. At the most, you could have at least said "Hello, thank you for inquiring at Linfield College, please see the info below to answer your many questions and if I can be of more help let me know, etc etc etc" Oh, but no, I got a two liner which clearly showed she had no interest in my inquiry and really didn't want me writing back for more info. Yayyyy Linfield, great way to promote your college, yes start with admissions why don't ya? I don't know folks, what is wrong with these private schools these days? It is becoming a joke. Anyway, in my quest I had also contacted OHSU and Concordia University and I have to say, if any of you are planning on applying to a nursing program in the greater PDX area than shoot for the two I just mentioned. Their staff were helpful, friendly, accommodating, and they actually call you instead of writing back a two liner. Guess where I will apply to and who will get my money? Linfield I suggest stepping up your game. It is 2015, and colleges are a dime a dozen these days.
