This review is for the RN IV refresher course…read more It's not worth it for $205. There are limited mannequins, outdated supplies, and the class was overpacked. There were not enough chairs or even tables to sit at. The class instructor Jayne does a good job at breaking everything down and making it simple to understand the basic concept of different IV fluids, indications, complications, etc. I would say this class is better for LVNs or new grads. My constructive criticism is regarding her terrible attitude towards some of her students. She even mocked a student in front of the class asking a question that was completely valid. She repeated the question back to him and just started laughing in front of everyone. Then, when it was my turn to insert an IV, I got blood return and successfully inserted the IV despite being incorrectly told that I wasn't in the vein. Luckily I didn't listen, and proceeded to float the catheter into the vein. At this point, turn around to hear Jayne from across the room yelling at me "NO, NO, NO, NO!!!".... to which I replied, "um, what?" She then proceeded to yell at me for placing pressure above the insertion site while reaching for the connection tubing, so that blood wouldn't squirt out. I had no problem with telling her that I would appreciate legitimate feedback, not her yelling "no" multiple times at me from across the room. I also could have done without the lengthy tangents she went on, which I felt took away from the content of the class. She ranted about her kids and their IQ (of all things) for a solid 10 minutes, at which point I looked around and noticed that half of the class was on their phones or nodding off from boredom. Do yourself a favor and go spend your $205 at a facility with updated equipment, enough seats, and an instructor who respects their students and isn't burned out yawning throughout the entire class. I genuinely don't understand how this page has so many good reviews about her, unless she has really gone down hill in the last few months, or just had a really terrible night's sleep. Regardless, I will not be returning.

I spoken to beautiful woman that goes by the name of Mrs. Karissa, she is magnificent advisor. She helped me through my enrollment journey when I didn't have the five dollars to get my transcripts from my old High School she didn't hesitate to offered to get them from me. She didn't want me to feel discouraged of me not attending North-West College- West Covina College from not having five dollars. If any of you attended this college I highly recommend it they welcome you has if you been knowing each other for a long time lol like if you were family. Also if you do decide speak with Mrs. Karissa she won't let you done. I will be giving this college five stars review.

The staff are great and will tend to your needs if you ensure proper communication. The key is to get and STAY informed. Maintaining good relationships with your classmates and staff will help keep you in the loop and give you the support you need.

I successfully graduated from this program and passed my NCLEX, and I truly couldn't have done it…read morewithout the continued support of the faculty. Due to personal reasons, it took me some time after graduation to finally sit for the NCLEX. Even though I was technically done with the program, the faculty never abandoned me. They continued to reach out, check in, and offer guidance and resources to help me prepare. Their support went far beyond what was required. They genuinely care about their students success, not just during the program but even afterward. This program doesn't just educate you it stands by you. I am incredibly grateful for the encouragement, dedication, and belief they had in me until the very end.

United Nursing College is a wonderful school with highly educated and respectful staff and…read moreinstructors. I was a part of the third LVN to ADN cohort, and I had a very good experience at this school. The professors were very considerate of every students weakness and strength. They are student centered and made sure to provide personalized assistance to help every student succeed and reach their ultimate potential. The classes were very challenging but they made it bearable and interactive. The 1 hour commute from home to school was worth it because of them. Highly recommend to all aspiring RNs. I am forever grateful for the memories I've made at United. Pics ft. the two Proffesor who made me fall in love with the ED.

I am an Alumn from BSNRS cohort 7 but a majority of the experience of my time at Stanbridge was in…read moreBSNLA cohort 6. I finished the BSN program in July of 2025. I received my ATT (approval to test) within one week from my last day. I had the option to test immediately but I had applied to test with accommodations so with limited centers for accommodations I tested 1 month out in August and passed the first time. I worked closely with our Careers Center and the director Dr. Willinger to create an amazing resume right after receiving my license, began applying to jobs immediately and received an invitation to interview within one week for DaVita. Two weeks later I received an invitation to interview for an ER position close to home which was my first choice to build a strong foundation as a new nurse. I know there are a lot of negative comments about this school on here. I have heard and watched a lot of sad and crazy experiences that my friends and other peers endure with staff and faculty throughout my 3.5 years there. I have experienced questionable professors and staff who are obviously there for the paycheck. On the other end, I have met 2x as many INCREDIBLE staff and faculty throughout my time at Stanbridge. People need to understand that this is still a relatively new program and it's still working through a lot of adjustments both within the programs itself, how they handle students, and how they handle staff. But with being new comes an advantage to incoming students because with the help of the right people and resources, there is flexibility and grace that comes with a class or a term that possibly end in a fluke (I.e. bad professors, missing classes due to extreme circumstances, etc.). I understand this is not everyone's experience, but I HAVE seen multiple times where the school does work with students to properly evaluate their knowledge of a subject a second time if there is overwhelming evidence showing it was not properly done the first time. It also is dependent on how an issue is communicated as well. Any nursing program out there is hard and rigorous. Stanbridge is not unique to this. I can confidently say that I went in to the NCLEX feeling so prepared because of how this school preps you. If you follow testing strategies and work closely with the coaches at the end of the program YOU. WILL. PASS. From Term 1 Stanbridge works with students not just on building testing stamina but building testing stamina while sleep deprived. It's not officially an actual thing. They always told us to be well rested and to eat before but, the reality of any nursing program is adequate sleep is simply not possible. You just have to get through each term and pass. Keep moving even if you have a set back, do your best to not stop. I have no idea how many times I thought to myself that I will more than likely not remember anything after the program and I questioned if I really actually learned anything. I have been an ER nurse for almost 7 months now. Every moment of feeling competent, confident, and proud to be a nurse I owe to Stanbridge. While most of my peers in my new grad program have forgotten a lot of basics and high priorities, I am one of the few who still remembers and I am so thankful. I had zero medical background coming into the program. My science gpa at a 3.5 was not competitive enough for CCs, UCs, or CSUs to see me as a priority candidate for their RN program. Stanbridge was the first school to take a chance on me and invest in me. Before Stanbridge I was never the student who was picked for scholarships, awards, or special internships. The last 2 years at Stanbridge I received scholarships every term, was selected for Student Hospital Fellowship, received the Presidential Service Award, and ended the program with the Thomas Fuentes Service Award. This was all because ONE staff member encouraged me to apply each time an opportunity was sent out. The Stanbridge experience is truly what YOU choose to make it. I have met some amazing people with incredible hearts at this school. I loved that I don't need to hike or walk a mile to get to class. I loved that I only needed to be on the ground once or twice a week. Nursing school was THE hardest thing I have ever done. I gave up my entire life for 3 years just to eat, live, breathe, and sleep nursing. You can ensure your success in this program if you want this more than anything else. There will be times where you have to pick school over your family and it sucks. But being on the other side now, it is SO worth it and now I have the rest of my life. My husband is currently in the program now and is in term 4 at the OC campus. He hasn't been in school full time in over 10 years and he is doing amazing. I'm proud to be a nurse and I'm proud to be a Stanbridge Alum. The cost for tuition is pretty steep. If you have a good tribe behind you and can afford to not work during the program, I highly recommend it!

lol I want to add. I once shared with Mahdi that my newly diagnosed type 1 diabetic child was…read moreexperiencing glucose highs. She responded by saying "oh her numbers aren't stabilized yet?" With a huge air of judgment lol. Which told me she knows NOTHING about the disease. She also doesn't like to answer questions regarding children. Only the elderly which seems to be the group of people she has compassion for lol. I don't care how much time has passed, what a joke that she's teaching future nurses. I would still love an explanation as to why my daughter's documented medical emergency was held against my grade and why Stanbridge doesn't hold her accountable as well as to why I am stuck with these loans.

I highly recommend you reconsider going to this school. After finishing their LVN program, little…read moredid I know when continuing my education afterwards NONE of my credits would be transferred. I didn't know Stanbridge is not accredited by CCNE or ACEN, meaning you will essentially have to start from scratch if going for your RN or BSN. If you don't plan on doing more than an associates degree, only then is it a great option. I'm writing this in hopes it will save someone from wasting their time at this school. I wish I never went... money & time wasted. I have to start all over now.

I truly cannot say enough good things about Dr. Candelario . Anatomy can be one of the most…read moreintimidating subjects for nursing students, but he has an incredible ability to break down complex material in a way that makes it understandable, engaging, and even exciting to learn. His passion for teaching is obvious in every lecture, and he genuinely wants every student to succeed. More than just a great professor, Dr. Candelario is an inspiring role model for anyone pursuing nursing. He constantly reminds his students why they chose this path and makes you feel like anything is possible if you are willing to work for it. He creates an environment where you feel supported, motivated, and confident in your ability to grow. If you ever need extra help, he never hesitates to take the time to guide you and make sure you truly understand the material. The school itself is also very invested in student success. As long as you are willing to put in the work, the program truly sets you up to succeed. I feel incredibly grateful to be learning in a program with professors like Dr. Candelario who care not only about your grades, but about the kind of nurse and person you will become.

As an alumni of MFSON, I think it's safe to say that any nursing school that you go to will have…read moreits issues because of the fact that the process of becoming a nurse is rated to be one of the toughest majors that there is. I was a part of Cohort 2, so one of the very first cohorts here at this location. The road was definitely very bumpy but I would say my experience was good. The professors at this school are very knowledgable and I would like to specifically talk about one in particular, Dr. Candelario. He really made my experience amazing because he truly cares for his students. He motivated not only me but my entire cohort when we were all going through rough patches together. Not only did his motivation push me to my personal finish line but also the time he gives to all of his students. I really appreciate having him as a professor. Other great professors that I would like to include as well are Dr. Leon- the OB professor- she is amazing as well. Her knowlegde, experience, and passion for nursing is inspiring. Overall, I wish i could include all of my professors in this review because they were all great but when joining a nursing program just know, wherever you choose to go, it is not going to be an easy journey. If it was, everyone would be a nurse! Good luck to those who are in a pursuit of this amazing and rewarding career!

I truly appreciated the understanding, patience, and consideration she showed me, especially while I was going through one of the most difficult times in my life. Even during those moments, she continued to guide me and remind me why I'm here. She genuinely wants her students not only to succeed, but to grow in this field and make a difference in the lives of the people we encounter. Another thing I want to highlight is the graduation ceremony. She made it feel so special. The detail, time, and effort she put into the presentation and thoughtful accessories like the nursing hat and the cord made it all feel even more worthwhile. It showed our families that this was a true achievement and a valuable opportunity. Thank you, Dr. H and Mrs. Mkay, for your support, dedication, and belief in us.
