I'm very thankful I had her as my instructor and I would recommend her to anyone taking the CNA program.

They were very accommodating with my schedule and answered all questions without getting frustrated. I would drive from Matthews to Gastonia for evening classes and 10/10 would do it all over again worth the drive & also they are a testing center a plus I didn't worry about finding or stressing over that I would say the uniforms I would prefer a solid color but eh not the main character of the experience.

Patricia Umanah seems particularly resistant to positive reinforcement, activities to keep students engaged, or updating her information. This is particularly disheartening for an instructor in the sciences. She gave students bad information about HIV. But I cringe every time she insists that skills be demonstrated to perfection the very first time and when students invariably fail her on their very first try, she gives them a laundry list of mistakes. Today I asked for a copy of my certificate of completion from Umanah. She said it would be five dollars. She asked about a bad review I had written on another site. I immediately admitted I didn't think much of her program and said as much online. Then she WITHHELD MY DOCUMENTS. She held my documents hostage (which are required for nursing school applications) because I didn't like her. That is low, low, low. Thankfully, she did call me later after I told her that the Board of Nursing might be interested in her personal vendettas, and gave me my documents.

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 University of North Carolina at Charlotte (CHARLOTTE) is a public research university and part of the University of North Carolina System. It is classified as an R1 "Very High Research Activity" institution, reflecting its significant research output and doctoral education. In Fall 2025, CHARLOTTE enrolled over 32,000 students -- approximately 26,200 undergraduates and nearly 6,000 graduate students -- making it one of the largest and fastest-growing universities in the state. CHARLOTTE offers a broad range of academic programs across multiple disciplines, with around 79 undergraduate majors spanning arts and sciences, engineering, business, computing, and others, along with more than 150 graduate and professional programs. As an R1 university, CHARLOTTE emphasizes research and innovation through strong partnerships with industry, government, and the community. The university ranks among the top 30 U.S. institutions for career outcomes and return on investment. New degrees in sports analytics and artificial intelligence continue to expand CHARLOTTE's academic reach. Students benefit from internships, research opportunities, study-abroad programs, and strong post-graduation employment outcomes. The campus itself is a major asset. It offers excellent venues for meetings, events, athletics, and alumni engagement. During the Fall 2025 season, I attended every home football game, including tailgates hosted by the SigEp NC Nu Alumni and Volunteer Corporation. I also attended a men's soccer match -- and what a season it was. The CHARLOTTE 49ers finished 8-4-4, captured the regular-season conference title, and earned the No. 1 seed in the American Athletic Conference Tournament. They advanced to the semifinals, where a dramatic nil-nil match against FIU was decided by penalty kicks, with Charlotte narrowly defeated 11-10. In December, I volunteered at the William States Lee College of Engineering Senior Design Expo, held at the James H. Barnhardt Student Activity Center (SAC), which includes the 9,000-seat Dale F. Halton Arena. I've attended basketball games at Halton Arena for years, but I had no idea how impressive and versatile the rest of the facility is. I helped check in alumni, business leaders, and academic staff for lunch, which was hosted in a beautiful suite of rooms on the third floor. Meanwhile, senior engineering students displayed their projects on the main arena floor. It is an outstanding venue for academic and professional events. Greek life plays an important role at UNC CHARLOTTE, contributing to leadership development, service, and campus engagement. The university is home to a wide range of fraternities and sororities representing social, professional, and service-based organizations. These chapters are deeply involved in philanthropy, community service, and student leadership across campus. The strength and professionalism of Charlotte's Greek community reflect the university's broader emphasis on character, service, and lifelong connection referred to by the university as the "Gold Standard." Sigma Phi Epsilon has a strong alumni presence at CHARLOTTE (Sig Ep NC Nu), and we also have student Brothers actively chartering a chapter on campus. We recently held an executive workshop in one of the meeting rooms in the Student Union. Sig Ep's Balanced Man program is unique to Greek organizations and will benefit the university and student Brothers. Like many of Charlotte's academic, athletic, and student facilities, the Student Union is impressive -- modern, well-designed, and comparable to professional conference centers I've experienced throughout my career. It was perfect for the Sig Ep Executive Workshop. UNC CHARLOTTE continues to grow and achieve excellence, just as the City of Charlotte itself has emerged as a premier urban and economic center. The university proudly brands itself as "Charlotte's University," and that identity truly fits. The William States Lee College of Engineering, in particular, has gained national visibility, climbing steadily in U.S. News & World Report rankings. Its graduate programs in civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering rank among the top 100 nationwide. The college is also home to one of the nation's most highly regarded motorsports engineering programs -- a perfect fit for the Charlotte region. A truly great university in a great city!
