My experience with this school has been extremely stressful and disappointing. I am writing this…read morereview because I wish I had known these things before enrolling. During the admission process, the school is very nice and makes everything sound good and easy. But after you enroll, my experience has been very different. There are so many changes to schedules, testing, wording, and requirements, sometimes with very little notice. This school is NOT fully remote. Every semester you have to travel to Florida to take your final exams in person. For students who live out of state, this can be extremely stressful. At other schools, when finals are coming, you can stay home, focus on studying, and prepare for your exams. Here, you are dealing with clinicals, traveling away from home, and studying for finals at the same time. The last-minute changes are another major problem for me. Students have jobs, families, and other responsibilities. We cannot always change our plans at the last minute because the school changes a testing date or schedule. It feels like the school makes changes based on what works for them without considering how those changes affect students. Another issue is the way things are worded or renamed. Requirements can be called different things over time, which makes it confusing for students to understand what is actually required. For example, what was referred to as an exit exam is now called an Academic Quiz. Students should make sure they understand exactly what these requirements mean and what is required for graduation. The financial process is also something students should be very careful about. In my experience, I was not clearly told that there was an option to pay tuition out of pocket. Instead, the school proceeded with loan paperwork and asked students to sign it. Some students may be able to pay for school themselves and may not want to take out a loan. I believe students should be clearly informed about their payment options before any loan paperwork is completed or signed. Please read every financial document carefully before signing anything. Make sure you understand whether you are agreeing to a student loan and how much you will be responsible for paying back. Honestly, at times this program has felt more like a punishment than a nursing program. The combination of traveling to Florida, clinicals, in-person finals, last-minute changes, testing, and stress can be overwhelming. It can also feel very difficult to change your situation once you are already enrolled and have invested your time and money. I also feel that the school is more focused on making money than supporting students. That is my personal experience, and I think future students should know what they may be getting into before making a commitment. If you are from California, make sure you independently check the California Board of Registered Nursing requirements before enrolling in an out-of-state program. Do not assume that everything will meet California requirements just because the school accepts students from California. My advice is to think very carefully before enrolling. Do your own research, ask many questions, and get important information in writing. Do not rely only on what you are told during the admission process. For me, this experience has been extremely stressful, and I would not recommend this school based on my experience.

Back in 2016, when Mattia College of Miami closed its doors to the school unexpectedly, it caused many of its students to be left without any information about nursing studies or where to go thereafter. After doing research on schools in the area, I went to the Universal Career School looking for a way to continue and finish my nursing program. The Universal Career School opened the door for me and many of my clasmates. We were able to obtain the correct information and were given the best communication from the administration staff. The faculty did a great job by preparing us well for the classes and they provided excellent support. I graduated last year and I have shared my archives with my classmates, instructors, and the administrators. I also participated in the first graduating ceremony with my RN license already in my hands. I was able to pass the NCLEX on my first try as the Universal Career School had prepared me well. Today I am working as RN in a large hospital system. I am forever greatful to the Universal Career School for all the help they provided me towards my end goal of having a career in Nursing.

Fortis College of Cutler Bay asks a lot of their students, one is for students to write good reviews about them online and two, to pay thousands & thousands using student loans set up and applied for within their institution. Fortis not only fails more than half the students that walk in their doors leaving them in large debt, they also don't deliver on education and are rotating door for unlicensed teachers (ex-nurses). The deans, the presidents, the "teachers".... its a complete con. The few good people that do work in there cant offer much support for the students meaning if there is any issue you will be on your own. There are no books in the library, no student counselor or anyone to protect students from the abuse this school inflicts and no organization AT ALL. Schedules are changed repetitively, teachers are never known, charges for classes are never clear and again if there is any issue with a class, schedule, professor or assignment no one who works at Fortis College of Cutler Bay ever has the answer to anything. Once your enrolled your on your own. WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IT WHAT IT IS. PASS ON THIS PLACE, FOR YOUR OWN SAKE. read more

Admission staff from admission's director to the lower level staffers are extremely unprofessional lowering the standard for which, I believe, the president of the cutler bay campus has set as standands. It is unreal to me that an educational institution of such a supportive organization for which can easily cost in the 30k, would allow this kind of behavior. I can only hope the dean of this school along with high level executives are unaware of the ongoing unprofessional trend of conduct their staff are protreying. I want to personally thank Vianca and Lisadra for preventing me from making the biggest mistake of my life by enrolling in the RN program after witnessing, first hand, their display of dismay and unprofessionalism. read more

I feel that I have learned a lot from this college compare to what I knew before and because it is private, the professors seem to care about each student, and they help us however they can.

And, yes I had a few hard times studying and and taking care of what I am suppose to do at home, because I have a little sister and a brother I have to look after.

Scam. Do not go to this school. They are not accredited. This is a for-profit school, the student is just a number, all they want is your money. It does not matter if you fail or not, they will get the grands from you anyways. Worst teachers ever. The Campus director is very unprofessional. The Dean of Nursing as well. Stay away. The goal of this school is to fail you, and if you fail your credits won't transfer because Fortis College is considered a vocational school. read more

I am so glad I did not renew my BLS with these previous guys again! This is NOT the case in Dr. Jay's class. He actually makes you practice till you get the technique right, he made my confidence grow, I learned the AED how to use it correctly, CPR when to do it when not, different scenarios that might happen, I learned how to help an adult, kid, and infant pt who might be choking. It was great and I will be returning for my ACLS and PALS and any further BLS !
