I've worked on and around PLCs for many years and have troubleshooted and repaired them but never had any programming instruction (I have managed to decipher some code while attending to the broken bits of hardware) and I figured there's gotta be something important that I'm missing. took the intro course and in just a few short weeks my understanding-to-confusion ratio had reversed and then doubled. yep, just a couple pearls of wisdom and life is significantly less worse! also doing classes further south with similar results but in a different field of endeavor. getting enrolled and registered took about two in person visits, two phone calls, and a half dozen emails (mostly about class selection...) welcome to adulting, please be an adult when attempting it. really, the hardest part of taking classes here was the governor of northern carolina announcing that in-person instruction at all colleges was suspended at the start of the pandemonium. turns out to have been as reliable as the rest of the plague-level advice: never happened! school continued uninterrupted without me and I am delayed a year. sad face :-( my biggest complaint here is having to wait half an hour before the doors open because I'm here way before class starts... and the mask mandates... and the training software crashes too frequently for my liking... did I mention the masks??? and no hot coffee... but we're all wearing masks anyway... but parking is abundant and access is easy enough so there's that... :-p

For my 1000th Yelp review, I thought I'd take the time to write about why I was so inactive on Yelp…read moreover the past year. I was a little busying because I attended the ABSN program at Queens 2016-2017. At the time, I'd applied to Duke, UNC and Queens as a 2nd degree student and ended up choosing Queens because of how quick the program was (a bachelors of science in nursing in one year!) I am a motivated person and thought I'd go in and bust it out. I will humbly say that it was the hardest year of my life. My class started with 52 students and only 33 of us graduated. I think I write this review in a more positive light because I have been a working nurse for a month now, I passed the NCLEX on my first try two weeks post-graduation (all of my classmates that have taken boards since graduation have also passed). I felt that Queens prepared me well for entering the field but it did have numerous problems and you MUST be an extremely self-motivated individual that is willing to put your life aside for a year and focus on the degree. I was in class or clinicals Monday-Friday for at least 8 hours/day and post-class and weekends were spent studying. There were people in my class who's relationships or marriages fell apart, diagnosed mental illnesses were discovered while others got engaged or married during the time. My classmates ranged from males (3-graduated) to parents (max of 3 kids) and I was one of 3-4 that graduated without a science undergraduate background. The first semester of the program was by far the worst for me, there was extremely limited support from professors and although the majority of students ranged from 25-50 years old, we were treated simply like children. Our studying methods were attacked, our responsibility was challenged but there was no guidance to perform better. Our main professors included David Hudson (Gerontology and Fundamentals, 1 star, he was also my adviser unfortunately and a very emotional man, his displays included everything from storming out of class to giving us study guides which ended up being tests), Toy Stone (Pathophysiology and co-taught Fundamentals and Health Assessment, 3 stars), Melissa Santander (co-taught Health Assessment, 5 stars) and JoAndrea Costner (Concepts, 4 stars). We lost 11 students this semester. This was a 19 credit hour semester. Second semester was extremely difficult as well, but instead of having three incredibly hard classes, we had one to two insanely hard classes and the rest were more manageable. We lost an additional 8 students this semester, mostly because of Amanda Cruz' Med Surg I class, she was by far the most unsupportive teach we had, thinking of her still gives me an unpleasant feelings so I'll leave out additional details. In addition, we had Janie Best (Pharmacology, 4 stars), Dana Mangum [challenging course but a 5-star teacher, she gave us so much more independence as a class and treated us like co-professionals] and Janice McRorie (3 stars, both taught Peds and Maternity), Jolene Correll (Mental Health), Informatics online (Dana Mangum). This was a 20 credit hour semester. My final semester was by far the best, the professors were supportive and while the classes were still challenging clinicals allowed much more independence. We lost no classmates this semester. It was an 18 hour semester with Vicki Talbot (5 stars, Med Surg II, incredibly supportive teacher that you could tell was passionate about her career and helping us succeed), Teresa Moorman (2 stars, supportive teacher but the class and preparation was not helpful moving towards boards, NCLEX prep-course), Tracy Petleski (3-stars, great teacher just fairly unorganized, Community Health), Betsy Leonard (3-stars, again great teacher and very supportive, the material could have been online and we would have benefitted the same, Leadership and Management) and Sheryl Cornelius (3-stars, good teacher, but material was online-quality, Research). My clinical teachers were Julie Helton (amazing!!), Paul MacDonald (really great mentor), Oonagh O'Reilly (good), Brittany Dillon (great!) and Dina Khentigan (good). I think Paul and Julie made the biggest impact on my education and the clinical experience was where I truly realized that nursing is the field I was meant for. Overall, if you're considering attending the program, be ready to work hard for an incredible career opportunity. 100% of our class was employed during the third semester. I absolutely love that I went to Queens only because I can look back on the past year and realize that it was all worth it. I am doing what I was meant to do and I wouldn't have gotten here without the school. However, I also know that I absolutely hated the program at times and would have never recommended Queens to anyone. My perspective has changed in retrospect but please feel free to contact me for more details. Hope this review is helpful to those individuals thinking about the program.

The admissions team welcomed us in and offered drinks followed by a shirt presentation of the history of the university and courses available. Next, we were taken on a tour of the university, led by an actual student. We were able to see lecture halls and classrooms. We even got to sample food from one of the kitchens. Our last stop was the dorms, which were surprisingly roomy. They have 4 people to a suite and two bedrooms with two beds each, plus a desk, dresser, and mini fridge. The suites also have a bathroom with shower, toilet, and sink in them. This is a great university option and the tour really gives you a real-life view of the day-to-day experience.

There are private study rooms on the 5th floor big enough for a small group. There is a secret private room at the end of the hall on the left on 7 if i remember correctly. If there is a catering event, talk to the catering staff and be there when its over. They throw all the food away, so grab a plate and get some late night dinner. There is s decent lounge on the 2nd floor with nice chairs to really lounge in. All the TVs in each lounge have basic cable. The third floor has a few chairs that when pulled together make for a pretty good napping spot. You can use your uncc login to turn on the auditorium computers to watch dvds in style. *the one on the right is best bc it has no windows but don't watch a three hour movie, the chairs are not butt friendly in either one. The scanner in the library can be used by anyone even though it says otherwise. There are locker rooms with showers in the basement. There is free parking on the street a block away, just make sure there isn't anything going on that night at the arena. 7th street station has the best lunch. Jimmie Johns is wicked fast! There is a microwave in the lounge on 6 I think. If not there, its in one of the lounges. Theres a fridge and 2 microwaves in the staff lounge and the door is unlocked all day until six or so. Then it locks. Its up to you if you have the brass to go in there. I never cared. Thats about it. Im sure theres more, but for now thats all I can think of.

Dr Worley trusted strangers over a student who had perfect attendance and made the deans list whenever I cried and tried to tell her what really happened her and the dean laughed in my face! .. my tuition payments every month since I was going there was always 150 a month my dad always paid it on time .. it was all for nothing .. but god had a different plan in mind for me I never thought I would be able to look back on this experience and smile again!! Staying up late to study .. dealing with the pathetic attitudes of the teachers and the way they talk to students is sooo belittling I'm surprised I never cursed anyone out for talking to me the way they did.. especially Dr. Worley she's the worst you have to deal with her bad attitude all the time.. the military attitude should be left in the military.. Shes very rude I have a feeling she was like that because she's tried to make a name for herself by writing a section in a medical book and being a doctor .. that's still no right to act that way! she also passed a girl I knew just because she wanted her to date her son so there you go! The school looks run down the lady you first meet that shows you around the school is not engaging and bad at her job neither was I interested in the rinky dinky school. credits don't transfer I switched to a different career in which I Looooveee!!! And I can smile again and look back on this experience because the experience at this school was the worst experience of my life! Happy to smile again!!
