First I would like to say, as a member of only the second cohort for the RN program, that there are probably some logistical kinks I struggled with, that have most likely been worked out by now. Having attended the program at the onset of Covid restrictions, combined with the launch of a new program, assuredly contributed to many of the organizational and communication issues that I encountered. That being said, I can't say enough about majority of the instructors. While a couple of them were either distant, or downright nuts, most of my professors and preceptors were invested and involved in our success. From professor Gerez at the beginning of my program who made the sometimes interminable length of class tolerable, to professor Saites who's knowledge and ability to make things clearer contributed greatly to my success. And when my authorization to test for the NCLEX, followed by the extended period I waited for my license to appear that seemed stuck in a black hole, Director Greco's relationship with the board of Nursing greased the skids and got it done, sometimes as early as the next day! Then there's Professor Shauna Nelson. Of all the educators I've encountered in my lifetime (I'm 50 so let that sink in), I have never been so lucky as I was to have professor Nelson for my final semester. The level of personal commitment and dedication displayed by this unbelievable woman cannot be described with words. Her care and concern for each and every student shines forth like a divine light in the sea of apathy and self-serving attitudes so prevalent today. She puts her heart and soul into every lesson, every student, and everything else it takes to be that once in a lifetime mentor you hear about during Nobel laureate speeches. I owe my degree and my license to this incredible educator. 3 of the 4 stars in my rating are hers alone. It is my hope that the administrators look to her as a benchmark for how the program should serve its students. With all that said, Pacific College was more affordable, and from what I've heard from the students we absorbed from other private colleges I won't name here, more invested in their student's success. It would be nice if they'd be a little more timely with transcripts (still waiting), but I'm hoping that will be resolved soon so I can add that 5th star to my rating. In conclusion, I would recommend Pacific College to anyone interested in a private nursing program. read more

Dr. Atalla is great and gives a lot of advice, and very helpful and understanding. Learning a lot from him! Thank you for all you do and time! read more

I am currently a nursing student at Pacific College and I have to give major kudos to the professors and staff here, especially Professor Gerez. I have never experienced a Professor that make themself available nights/weekends to assist several students. I am traditionally not a remote learner, at all. I wanted to "throw in the towel" however, Professor Gerez motivation, flexibility, real life related stories, tutoring etc gave me the push to keep going. Professor Saites makes virtual learning as if we are actually live doing our clinical. Couldn't ask for a better duo of professors. With covid nothing is easy for anyone. It's all work workarounds and adjusting to unusual circumstances. However, they have made the very best of a very difficult learning situation. Thank you professors! :) read more

As a graduate from Pacific College, it's not what it used to be. I help enrolled my son in the LVN program. No one including, admission, financial aid, register, or any other staff wanted to help us. I called multiple times, sent emails and visited the site twice. I was convinced by Nadeem that he will take care of our problem but it's been months and no outcome. read more

I just finished my LVN course with this school. It was a struggle from the very beginning. There was a lack of communication with the student. Everything seemed to take longer then usually to be completed like financial aid. Even now after graduating I passed the exit and didn't take my NCLEX until 2 months after that. I've been waiting for the school to reimburse me since I passed my NCLEX in the first attempt. I would told I would get my refund in 1-6 months! Which is crazy cause I'm sure they take the status of me passing in the first attempt right away! And I am still waiting for IV certification class. read more

Went to this hack school in 2007, I can see from the reviews that nothing has changed. The worst school ever. They are a FOR PROFIT SCHOOL, which means all they care about is the almighty dollar. The only thing that helped me get though the program is that I had good grades and rocked all my clinical. But these instructors and admin are the biggest bunch of crooks I have ever met. They go out of their way to fail students who might just need a little tutoring, or worse, they kick students out who call them on their BS! Then the staff threaten you not to speak to the students they dismiss, or to any attorneys, because they have an aggressive attorney on retainer that will "cripple" you financially and that you'll never "get into another nursing program," because they have a "far reach." The labs at school are a joke, they didn't have sufficient equipment. One time Instructor Leslie L., taped a little piece of pvc piping to a soap jug trying to say that those would be our trach tube practice bottles- lmao!!! Who are you kidding lady?! They do and have always played favorites and target you if you speak out against their corrupt practices. The financial department doesn't help you make payment arrangements, they threaten and gaslight you. This school lost their accreditation a few times, and lost it again right after I graduated, and for several good reasons. They're inflexible, unprofessional, and crooked. They kick students out just to charge them thousands of dollars to reapply to the program. IT'S A SCAM!!! The only reason I passed my NCLEX successfully is because I studied whatever I could get my hands on and didn't give up. But it was an uphill battle to get there. Many of the students I went to school with couldn't even get nursing job after graduating. The state and nursing board need to shut this poor excuse for a school down once and for all. If you need to find a nursing program look elsewhere this is a school run by bullies who expect you to pay through the nose to be their emotional punching bags. read more

I've been in the college roughly 4 months now being in this new generation of a new learning on line is not easy but the most positive I got from Pacific College is the learning style of different professors. I salute Professor Jessica Gerez for pouring all her time, love, and effort to teach the students. She is very helpful to me, I can't describe the exact words but she goes above and beyond in helping each students in whatever questions they have in class. I haven't seen this in other schools . Professor Gerez is very sacrificial of her time so we can succeed in this course. On top of the list that I'd like to mention is Prof Sally Saites Clinical instructor . She is amazing partnered with Gerez they worked hand in hand to my the clinical fun in terms of learning . I personally salute and give credit for their guidance and dedication teaching the nursing program. read more

Horrible experience if I could give a zero I would. When I applied the made me get out a personal loan in my name. How ever when I stared school we had a teacher quit one fired for hitting a patient in week chair. Message me for more details I have receipts to show this ain't no joke save your money and go else where read more

This school sucks. They took down my post . The truth about this school is the staff are dumb. I'll keep saying it . The nursing staff are hella unorganized, the BSN instructors are incompetent too, they throw you in the pit . They have new staff ever Got Damn semester. The instructors are also lazy af.. they are bullies , from shawana to Sally and that Professor brown chick. Not sure why my post is being removed I'm speaking facts. Don't waste energy in this place. It will drain you. They want to make themselves look good for the boards by adding more and more stress on students and then become hella defensive when anyone speaks up. Like cmon , don't be so f^** sensitive. Dumb people read more

ZERO STARS!!! PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY! LOOK INTO CITRUS COLLEGE(community College) I apply for the LVN program at their Citadel location in LA. back in 2019, Term 1 was AMAZING! but during term 2 clinicals things started going down hill we had 2 different clinical Instructors. the first instructor did not show up to our clinical site, a few times, then we had another instructor but the clinical did not want her there as she spend most of her time sitting in there common room, instead of training us. we were felt on the floor alone, at one point we had the ADON Ms.Kamal being our instructor (she was horrifying person very unprofessional I believe she isn't with the school anymore). COVID happen 2 weeks before ending term 2, which was a relief because, not know if we'll be able to do clinical was exhausting. we had a 3 month GE break, I had no complains there the instructor we got were Amazing! term 3 came around, everything was via ZOOM, the instructor we got was no good! she just read of the slide but was not connecting the dots, the school started requiring students to do Lippincott quizzes that take up 30+ hours to complete outside of theory hours and clinicals, before this quizzes were optional (when this program is targeting working individuals) after students complained about the instructor we got our old instructor back from term 1. I felt that her coming back made no differences, she was a great in person instructor but not via Zoom, she would speed time chit chatting, with some of her students.(she definitely plays favoritism, one times, I private message her to start the class, she would get upset and blast me in front the class, she seem very rude towards me, ( not to mention I got along with this instructor during term, opened up to her about my personal life etc). I chose to ask for LOA because it was a toxic environment, (AS I was also working on the covid floor as a CNA I had that stress on top school). I repeated term 3 with a different cohort and as well everything was via Zoom! beside lab/clinicals. OMG!!!!! the theory Instructor (MS. Jen) she also read what was on slides (sometimes theory class only lasted 2 hours because he read so fast) anytime a questions was asked, she would reference us to our books or a YouTube video!, like WTF? I'm Seriously Paying 30K to teach myself how to be a LVN? that term we got 3 clinical instructors, one was them was same lazy one I had in term 2. She argued with one of other instructor ad she never came back( Ms. lee was amazing) the other 2 were they were so unorganized, not knowing what skills we should be learning in term and there was never actual supplies do the skills and we'd ended up watching a Videos on YOUTUBE!. for 8 hours! ( Ms. changer was great during actual clinicals, teaching how to pass Gtube meds etc). 4 days before my final for term, I had a family tragedy, I immediate reached out to ADON, DON and 2 others that work alongside them. I really need an extension for my final ( IMAGE YOU HAVING TO TAKE THIS FINAL but you Little sister/BEST FRIEND just died tragic Accident. NO ONE REACHED OUT!, I took my final and I failed it by 1.5 points ( I got a 73.5). the DON emailed me 8 days after I had emailed her. I told what I needed to say, she NEVER replied back! I received my dismissal email on the 11th of MARCH! the ADON CALLED ME on the 12th of March! after back and forth she did give me a chance retest, but that retest was on the same day of the funeral. (plus their policy states, that any test or remediation after dismissal is invalid) the school has a high turnover of inadequate instructors and the long term instructors played favoritism as well! The school took out more student loans than they should've because they failed to communicate with me, that my pell grant was not being grant to me due to me owing $200 dollars to my previous community college, ( at the end of the program I was suppose to owe 18K in loans and now I owe 16 with only completing 2 terms and half I was told during orientation that I am able to repeat a term for free? that was bullshit I was charge for 2(term 3) when I only did 5 weeks of one term. THE ONLY GOOD INSTRUCTOR HERE IS MR. ROCK! and for clinical MS. Chander for 5 months I kept appealing my dismissal but the school never respond until recently, louie told I had finish my GEs before retaking term 3 for a third time. I as going to be stupid enough to return! haha. THANK GOD! I was accepted into a COMMUNITY COLLEGE PROGRAM! and it is only 5K. I still wonder how this this college has their WASC accreditation. PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!!! read more

don't go to this school. it is very poor teaching and horrible. they are so disorganized, and they suck. don't waste your money here. they really don't care about the students. they pretty much set you for failure. listen to this and all the adds they write here for a reason. DON, she is horrible too. i think she needs to go back to school to get updated on how to educate and teach and have a good character with compassion and empathy for students needs. read more

I guess the best way to communicate and get a response is to come here with your frustrations and write a negative review! I still don't see an accurate breakdown, but what do I expect...there was never one. At least we know they read reviews and not emails! read more

It pains me to give an institution a bad review. I attended Pacific College for my BSN and graduated April of 2018. Almost one year later I still haven't received my diploma. I've been calling them every single month and I have been giving the same excuses each time that they are behind with the degrees. I simply can't believe it, I've attended colleges before and I have never have that problem or heard of such thing. I'm really scared and thinking about obtaining legal presentation for this issue. I've already started paying my students loan for this school and yet I don't have my degree in my hand. Does anyone else have this issue? I was told no one from my graduating class received their degree as of yet. 6-7-19 Update! I still have not received my diploma. To make matters worse, they will not release my unofficial or official transcript to another school. When I spoke to them last, Anne in registration said it would not be a problem to release my transcript. Well, that's a lie. They even promised to mail it to me, I'm still waiting. It's been 3 months. I want to continue my education and this is my set back from Pacific college. I've called them and left messages and no one is returning my calls. They take my money and are not delivering. I need help! I need to know what to do and how to move forward. If anyone has any suggestions for me, please help! read more

I went to this school and was not impressed. When i first was interested in the school everyone was helpful Louie would call and that other skinny guy also. But once they got me to sign the papers there was no turning back and they did a whole 180. No one would respond to my call, emails, or text unlike they did before. Once it was the first day of school was not fun at all they placed us in a small room where we were all squished against each other the instructor showed up 40 min late. then she proceeded to teach us all math which she was getting all the problems incorrect. WE had to call people that we new to try to solve equations. It was a waste of a day. Term 1 was ok but we got like 2 different instructors for Theory and 4 different instructors for clinicals in at different times. They instructors for both theory and clinicals never had the key to get into the class room so we would spend time out side waiting for someone to help us. The instructors never new what subject we were on because they changed like crazy. We would tell them the subject we were in and they would choose a subject they were good at to cover. Most of the instructors had really bad accents and ddnt know what is the proper protocol for certain procedure they would go based on how they did it in there country which is bad. Since we are getting tested on what is on our book. Students have cheated and I even emailed Ms. Gamble DIRECTOR OF NURSING EDUCATION and she told me she would look into and she never did. She allowed student to cheat by them taking a test without being proctored when we were suppose to. I can forget to mention that the staff does not reply within a reasonable time it takes them 10 emails for them to reply or for you to CC someone higher then them for anyone to reply back. They dont go based on the schedule they provide so even if your schedules says u will be in citadel they will have go all the way to west covina to give the RN program your seat since they matter more. SSo anyways i can keep going but there is not enough room so if you want more info feel free to message me i can also provide proof of the statements i have made. TY read more

My coworkers asked me where I completed my LVN - I didn't tell them - because I didn't want to see them up for miserly. The quality of education - especially the skills labs - are rather lackluster. The teachers - I just don't get it . Ms K. Isidro was an ABSOLUTE bully to our class - no help at all. The skills teachers are USELESS. NO supplies to practice. I couldn't even understand some of the teachers ???? One was a doctor ????! Huh? It's clownery. The exit exam was a JOKE. I guess they've since changed it to ATI . FINALLY they did SOMETHING right . Too bad we didn't have it ! I passed the NCLEX with just UWorld and YOUTUBE when my exit exam "predictor" said I had a 34% chance of passing and Dr. Boren is gaslighting us saying if we don't do their review we will fail the NCLEX . it's not our fault you gave us lippincott as an exit exam - it's too late now! how about APOLOGIZE instead of threatening/degrading students just because your schools scores are low that's a reflection of your school not the students. Hire better staff it's not hard. read more

This college is the reason I quit Nursing. The most unorganised institution for $12,000 and plus. I wasted my scholarship money in this hell hole. We had a teacher that showed us a video three times because she didn't know what else to do. I could go on. But I wont. Save your money and go to a proper school that cares. read more

Pacific College has been an exceptional experience so far. The professors and the nursing program director (Maribeth Thornton) are always extremely helpful and attentive. Initially, I had my reservations about enrolling in an online school, but Pacific College has changed my mind in such away that I am here writing a review. For anyone considering taking an RN-BSN program, I highly recommend Pacific College. read more

I never write reviews but I am disappointed in this school. I applied in December did all my paperwork for the LVN program. I was the one calling and emailing but only get the run arounds. Then they kept telling me that the paperwork was incomplete or they never got it. For financial aid they kept telling me they will call me never did until I told them to forget it that I was looking for another school that when they called me. That school is really unprofessional and if it like that when your not enrolled imagine how bad is it when you are in the school. I would be scared to be there and when I am done they don't give me my diploma. read more

Unfortunately, one CANNOT bring a "lawsuit" against this school due to "Arbitration" clauses signed on enrollment form. PLEASE GO READ IT. Thus, the reason for financial abuse from them. The school has yet to be held accountable for mishandling financial aid and lying to the students about the process in which they applied funds and held funds from students. My current school process financial aid and mail a check, NOT HERE and they will say its due to "Student debt" DAMN LIE! FRAUD AT ITS BEST! This has been happening since at least 2016 and they are still on the roll. Everybody complaint is the same just read. Students should no longer be silent. Past and present students need to file complaints with BPPE, Financial Aid, Dept Of Education, Borrower Defense, and CFPB. Somebody needs to get to the bottom of the handling of financial aid at this school. It is funny how it was the "disgruntled employee" and now is it "disgruntled students"? EVERYBODY IS THE PROBLEM NOT THE SCHOOL? Good will prevail!! Good Luck! read more

WELL SAID DEBBIE K!!!! I couldn't agree more to what Debbie K said. They are, from start to finish, FOR-PROFIT institution. In fact, they mess up on everything. From instructors to student loans. I mean seriously? I would like to share a scenario. Pacific College said that on our second term we will have a different instructor considering it was going to be harder and more for a REGISTERED NURSE to teach ...but of course, that didn't happen. We were told in the first week of the second term that our instructor was somehow not available so we were stuck with our first term instructor, who is just absolutely clueless (bless her heart) of any subject for that term. Totally unacceptable right?!!?!?! I know. Obviously, more than half of our class failed that term and never came back to Pacific College again. I'm happy to say that two of whom have failed went to another wonderful school and passed no problem.... I can just write so much more....but Pacific College is just not worth it. Sorry. I do hope they changed (since 2007) for the better. Better admissions people, loan officer, and instructors!!!!! That's all I have to say. read more

Note: My review is regarding the BSN program. Came here because I know 2 former nursing instructors of mine from another school works here. One is the director and the other does the PHN portion here. They are very organized and great instructors so I know I cant go wrong. Its never about the school itself sometimes but who teaches and is in charge. Boy did I make the wrong decision had I known that both my former professors decide to leave a quarter way through the program. Everything went down hill since then. Correction: it wasn't as bad until towards the end. Throughout the beginning of the program, it went pretty smoothly and most of the instructors were great. Here are the bad experiences I had and hope none of you guys going to start the program there will have to deal with (especially now that I gave you heads up) or reconsider another school. During signing of the contract, everything tends to sound good, organized etc but its not. Admissions never told me of the extra charges that will be applied towards the end. (In order to receive our PHN certification, there was a $75 fee to the Board, which was never spoken of. There was also another $125 graduation fee. REGARDLESS if you decide to walk for graduation or not (supposedly for processing your graduation paperwork etc.) My advice is this should be counted together with our tuition at the beginning of the contract process or at least inform the students of these charges then. Its not an extreme amount but its the principle of it. Did I mention I reminded them about the PHN application too? We were never told about it. None of the students would have known they needed to apply for it on their own. it if I didn't pass the message to the front desk to email/call the director, no one would have known and delay their certification process (minus 1-star) During orientation before we start the program, I do remember them telling us that we will have to do clinical's but never said we couldn't use our own workplace like many other schools allow. They also said if we cant find a location, we have an option to follow and be assigned to their PHN instructor at their affiliated public health location, which I chose. First week during the PHN portion (new instructor-i think), the instructor said there is no location and that we need to find our own. Kind of last minute don't you think? If we cant find a location at a given time then we will have to drop the course until we do. Unreasonable and trying to put the fault and problem onto the students, don't you think? (minus 1-star) Same instructor was very unprofessional and gives horrible grades without a reason or explanation what we did wrong. Mind you that im not the kind of students who decides to complain about an instructor who gives a lot of work etc. As a professional, I take on whatever challenges that come to me. But for no reason, review, corrections, response and worse when I catch A LOT of her mistakes and typos on her part, sounds like a hypocrite don't you think. School offered me a complaint and grievance form. I did all the filing, wrote a long explanation with evidence and what do I get out of out? The interim DOE said what the instructor did was adequate and I got what I got. In my opinion, if more than half the class ask a whole bulletin board of questions, it obviously means its an instructor problem (with poor communications) and not the students. (minus 1-star) Lastly, I was unable to walk for graduation due to reasonable circumstances and asked for a favor if I can receive my honor cord anyway as a keepsake. All I got was (without considering my issue), honor cords were only given out at graduation only and encouraged me to attend. Hello? If I could, I would've?! So i explained again my reason and guess what? They simply ignored me and never responded to me again. My fellow classmate had text me in frustration during graduation (who decided to walk), was asking for her honor cord too and guess what? They said she doesn't get one because she didn't meet honors. She was surprised and said she did. They said well they don't have her name down unless she has proof. She said, why would I bring my papers to graduation? So she never got one. At the end, I'm glad I missed it as who knows what else could go wrong. (minus 1-star) So many coworkers and colleagues are going back for their BSN and was going to come here depending on my experience (at least 6 people when I started until graduation). I guess that is no longer going to happen. Another former classmate of mine had decided to pull out from this school a few weeks into it and going somewhere else. I am so glad he did. Their loss, not mine. read more

If I could rate it lower I would!!! Run away from this school. I've graduated 10 years ago from pacific college but the horrible memories of staff are still with me. read more

FYI if you're planning on visiting the school and you have any tip of misdemeanor (I myself unfortunately made a mistake six years ago driving under the influence.) Don't even bother making an appointment to see admissions. I was told "The director of nursing is conservative. Prefers students with clean backgrounds. Oh but no judgement". So I was automatically turned away. read more

This school is horrible!!!!! do not attend here !!!!!! very unorganized they tell one thing when you sign up and through out the terms they do a whole 360 and everything is not what you signed up for when it comes to clinical hours!! instructors all have different information, horrible communication.. administration is the worst. never really care on what really is going on. no response to email, calls, or any other questions. do not waste your money!!!! they dont even have supplies for students to practice on campus when it comes to skills!! they never keep track of hours completed its just horrible. you will wonder what they do with all the money they get from students!! read more

Being associated with Pacific College' ADN to BSN program is truly amazing. Their curriculum is set at a superiority standard, which will open multiple doors for graduating students to pursue their dreams within the professional career of nursing. Opportunities to pursue one's MSN and eventually a DNP is just around the corner. The administration of this fine College has created a positive environment for employment, onboarding staff, & continuous professional growth, making it a delightful place to work and influence the career of future health professionals. read more

I only have 5 weeks left of this program. I will give you my final opinion once this is all over. I AM a man of my word, so be prepared. read more

I am a current student in Pacific College and one thing I can say about this school is that the staff are amazing. They are doing everything within their power to help students with administrative questions, management, education, and so much more. I have heard about many schools and how demanding they all are, but this school gives the opportunity to be a student, parent, and at work at the same time. Yes they are working to make things better but with Covid in mind we need to understand and give them chance to work on getting things better. Professor Sally Saites is an amazing professor who is our fundamental clinical professor. She has no hesitation to explain and demonstrate skills for us as many times as we need. She is available any time we need tutoring or clarification about any assignments. I have very high respect towards professor Jessica Gerez who is the reason that I didn't quit the program. She is my motivation, the highlight of the day with unlimited positive energy. She makes our lecture fun and interesting without any hesitation and further complications. She is available any time of the day for extra hours of tutoring and technical issues. There is so much more I can say about her but one thing I can say is that she has a big heart, unlimited love, and respect towards humanity. May God bless her and her family. read more

Pacific College is an exciting school with some new programs! It is a pleasure to be part of a program which is on the move. Their pre-licensure RN program with a collaborative pathway for the BSN will start in October of 2019. I cannot say enough good things about this school!! The admissions department and nursing team are the best. I would encourage anyone to check out this school. It is a new day at Pacific College!! The best is yet to come!!! read more

On a Wed I came to check out the school and was a bit disappointed in the beginning because right when I walked through the door I am greeted by the receptionist who was nice but was dressed unprofessional with green hair. I came back on a different day and a Latina admissions rep was also walking around wearing a see through white shirt with a white bra with checkered pants. I'm Iike really ?At that point I'm like how can I take this school seriously if the staff can't? I would like that the staff dress more professional and that they know the receptionist is the first person the prospective student sees and that other rep to just not wear see through shirts. It wasn't even a blouse or top but a basic t-shirt. If they need a link here it is http://www.forbes.com/2009/02/09/workplace-office-clothing-women-style_0209_suit.html Ericah, Donna, Mrs. Wu and the males do dress professional and the rest of the staff should take note. read more

I just completed my BSN here at Pacific College and had a great experience. It was not easy, but it is not supposed to be easy. My professors pushed me to think outside the box and challenged me on a weekly basis. I worked full time during my classes and spent 20 to 30 hours weekly, reading, researching and writing. I believe my patients will benefit from my experiences. read more

I just recently completed my last class in the RN to BSN program at Pacific College. I went back for my BSN after many years because I wanted to be able to advance my career. I work full time so I was concerned how I would work school into my hectic life. This program was very manageable as I could do my assignments at my own convenience. The instructors were really great. They were very responsive to my questions and seemed like they really wanted me to be successful. My experience at Pacific College was a very positive one and although I am very glad to be finished, I will miss my instructors and all the on-line friends I have made. I have and would recommend the RN to BSN program at Pacific College. It was also the most affordable program that I found. I was very resistant to going back to school after so many years but am grateful that I have because so many of the jobs that I am interested in are now requiring a BSN. A word of advice..... get your BSN now, don't wait! read more

Pacific college is horrible. Straight to the facts: the financial aide advisors are incompetent, they made errors on students aide. They lack teaching in the class and in clinicals. We didnt have peds, ob etc. We did however go to Paloma Valley and had psych clinicals. They lacked on site items for teaching. The instructor allowed students to sign in at clinicals and leave, he also lied about making up clinicals which is false documentation. There are still people in my class that have not passed nclex due to lack of teaching. The school refuses to allow non passing students to continue their ATI courses. This school is a joke I'm surprised state hasn't shut them down..please take your money else where and get the correct education you deserve! Remember we are saving lives so its important to get the appropriate education as possible...please do your research and don't make the same mistake I did.. According to my instructor the passing score is based on only those whom the school think will pass not the over all number of students so make sure you do all do your research. The 2.5 star rating should be a red flag for everyone. Yes I did speak with someone, my co student thought it would be a good idea for her to call your office for help. I told her to do what I did - pay someone else because I don't think the school would care to help. We called so I could prove my point..point proven! Thank you so much for taking the time to respond it is greatly appreciated...best to you and your staff read more

I know many students who left bad reviews did not give it there 100% which is why they had a bad experience with this school. I did have few horrible experiences with certain teachers, and I am glad to let you know they are no longer teachers there. Just like any other college the student needs to put in 70% of the work and the teacher is there to guide and help you. During the 2 years in this program I suffered a miscarriage and i had a successful pregnancy and I still managed to pass every test and achieve honor roll; so the school it self was not hard if you are dedicated, and yes you need to be an adult and be on top of your own grades. I had really great teachers who are very knowledgeable. I think if students spent less time complaining and they listen to the teachers they would have better scores. Overall this school is not as bad as the comments say and it is a step closer to becoming an RN. Ps: I do want to let you know that I passed the NCLEX the first time! Good things come to those who dont complain and work hard :) Goodluck! read more

I have tried contacting the business office since the person I've been speaking to said the business office has my transcripts. Unfortunately they are not taking calls only emails and the funny part is that they don't even respond to emails. I just want my transcripts, reimbursement, and degree that I worked for and paid for so I can be done with this school for good. read more

Feb 2019, I met with Chris in Admissions. I was excited to attend the LVN Associates program that would get me started with my RN as well. Classes were scheduled to start April 1st, then got pushed back to Aug 5th. I call last week to verify and complete my enrollment and again I am informed they are pushing it back again because the numbers still aren't where they need them to be. I have now wasted six months waiting around for this school. Do not waste your time here. read more

I graduated in December of 2018 and still do not have my degree! Major problems with financial aid. I asked in October of 2018 why my financial aid had not posted to my student ledger and no one could offer a reasonable explanation. I have called repeatedly to inquire about the status of my account and keep getting the run around. I have never seen such incompetence in my life. If I do not receive my degree in the next few weeks, I will report this school to the Department of Education. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE FOR YOUR BSN!!! read more

I cannot in good conscious recommend prospective students to attend here. Perhaps most vocational programs suffer the same poblems and it comes down to a choice of the lesser of all evils. I was part of one of the last cohorts on the 18month LVN program, based on evenings and weekends. I was fortunate enough to be part of a small group. We began at 12, and ended with 7. I believe the smaller group size allowed for a more meaningful instructor to student relationship for theory, and for clinical rotations. In regards to clinicals, we were not as lucky in receiving substantial hands on training. There were many, many weekends spent on campus for "skills". Skills that really didn't aide in developing us as future nurses as we were not directly working with patients. Simply because there weren't arraignments for on site rotation. These obstacles, as frustrating as they may be, do not compare to the fruatration and absolute lack of priority by administrative staff. I directly dealt with a Financial Aid error that was not discovered until I was nearly at the completion of my program. This error was only discovered due to my inquiry as to why my loans did not appear to match my paperwork. This late found discovery caused an immense amount of stress at an already stressful point in my studies. That however was resolved with little to no help from the school. Lastly, as much as coming to the end of the program proved to be challenging, I managed to pass all my terms with grades of B, I managed to pass my exit exam above the expectation set by the school, I ensured all fees were cleared...and yet, here I am 7 weeks post completion, and the school has yet to submit my documentation to the CA Board of Nursing. We have been repeatedly informed once the Board receives our paperwork it would be approximately 6 weeks to receive response with approval to register for the NCLEX examination. At this point in time I have 18 weeks remaining before my student loans enter repayment. Within these 18 weeks, I need to account for 6 weeks for processing, and hopefully pass on my first attempt, and manage to find a job. This concern of losing time was expressed by me to the school last week. I was reassured the paperwork would go out Friday (9th) or Monday (12th). After this conversation I was made aware of other students both from my cohort and from other's that they were told differently. I was told that only one final signature was needed, another was told it was no where near ready, one was told all cohorts are being delayed until EVERY student is cleared, others told it goes based on any student cleared at that time. Truth be told, it is as if the students that were prepared and are eager to start their careers are being punished by delays due to students that do not place the appropriate degree of importance to fulfilling their obligations. At least that is the image that is being painted by PC. It could very well be that they are not placing any importance at getting the paperwork out. This experience, combined with changes I have witnessed remain as large obstacles that do not allow me to say, Pacific College is a great school. Pacfic College has some good points mainly on the Theory sessions and periodically with Clinicals (if you are lucky enough to have on site arraignments properly handled by PC). However, I feel the few good points are greatly and substantially outweighed by the negative experiences. read more

I requested to be contacted with more information about the Rn Prerequisite program online. I'm no longer interested after receiving excessive amount of calls during work. Which made me not want to return their call whatsoever.They seem desperate. Advice: stick to community college! read more

This is one of the worse schools I have ever went to please please don't go there. The Cheating is the worse and the fraud with the student loans is out of control. They pass you no matter what grade you get and the this school is all about money they don't care about anything else I finished there two years ago and not once did they help me find a job I still don't have my diploma. Run this school is a joke. If the school reads this message please don't respond with the lame response of lets meet and talk because I tired to do that and it was a joke. read more
