In 2015, I became a student in the Medical Admin Assistant program. My educators were awesome and…read morelargely a reason I decided to pursue my degree in Healthcare Administration. Upon completion of my Associates degree, I enrolled in the BA program. Unfortunately, I had to withdraw due to moving abroad with the military and my educators unwilling to accommodate the time zones. Years later, I returned to Tucson with a renewed sense of purpose in healthcare and of course, as an alumni, chose PMI for their Nursing program. I was disappointed at how unprofessional the institution had become. I was disappointed to learn the credits I earned from my MAA and HCA degree would not be honored in any capacity towards the Nursing program. Still determined, I attended the Kaplan test review. I missed by 1 A&P question. Went back and passed! Except all of a sudden, I didn't? I received two different printed results from my test. One with a passing grade, another with an unsatisfactory one. I requested the discrepancy be reviewed because how is it possible to have a passing and failing score? The response from a young lady, who did not serve as the testing coordinator, was not equipped to provide any guidance. "That's weird. Must have been a glitch in the system. Oh well. You can retest in 6 months" she casually retorted. As if Nursing school was some decision made lightly. Feeling defeated and frustrated, I followed up with an advisor who could not explain the error. I asked if I could retest to confirm my passing grade but was rejected and told to come back in 6 months where I could expect to pay again to retake the Kaplan. As a returning Alumni, I had hoped for a more positive response with PMI. After seeing the reviews since I graduated, there is a clear and evident decline in how this institution operates now. I can only assume the "glitch in the system" was a warning of what I could expect by continuing my education here. ** Of note: PMIs Nursing curriculum only satisfies Arizona's Board of Nursing requirements. If you plan to be a nursing in any other state, you will likely not meet reciprocity requirements. This is particularly concerning for students with military commitments to pay for an education they may or may not be able to utilize in the event they are tasked with relocation orders. Please be advised and research your state beforehand. From PMI's website--"*This is an on-ground program available to residents of Arizona and is approved for licensure by the Arizona State Board of Nursing. After licensure is obtained in AZ, transfer of state licensure may be available via state reciprocity compacts."

This is an actual test question my child was asked on their middle school civil war test at this…read moreschool which speaks for itself. Which American president said "only white men should be in charge of rebuilding the south"? The question was not couched in any language to describe that this president was known for his drunkenness or being a terrible president. The quote was not listed on the study guide as need to know material for students. And yet, it was on the test along with several other questionably framed topics regarding slavery and civil war. These types of questions are damaging to children who are already bullied for being different in some ways from the white men who hold privilege/power in our country. The new principal is harsh and unforgiving. She has no qualms about threatening parents with crimes for stopping to talk to teachers before or after school while at the same time telling parents to stop emailing all the time. How are parents supposed to advocate for their children if they cannot stop to talk to the teachers or email them? Her solution is to let kids sink and fail repeatedly while being bullied by teachers and students daily. Is it appropriate for a teacher to ask a student to turn off the light for class and when they get up to do so, say "you need the exercise" followed by laughter of all the middle school classmates. This happens at Cyril (a male teacher in junior high commenting on a female child's need for exercise). Is it appropriate for a teacher (whom the student told before class they forgot their contacts and weren't seeing the board well) to then ask that student to read the board and answer the question from their seat? And then when the student responds I can't see it well today, for the teacher to respond, I bet you can't to the laughter of all the other students? Is it appropriate for a school to make an accommodation plan for a student and then choose not to follow it repeatedly despite parent documentation of the lapses? Why even make a plan if you are going to shame the child for needing it? Is it ok for teachers to stop parents anytime or anywhere on campus for an impromptu meeting including in hallways to discuss private matters like mental health, grades, or quality of notes BUT have a policy that parents cannot stop and talk to teachers about the same things? Is it appropriate for a school to ban parents and students from speaking their native languages like Spanish on campus? What about when their child is hurt or injured and the parent is trying to comfort them? The parents are scolded, "English please", by this new principal. This school has had multiple leadership changes over the last few years. We were family here for 8 years and have finally realized that they don't really care about you or your kids. They care about control and compliance. They don't really care about diversity. They care about kids sitting down and shutting up while they are fed bullying alongside questionable teaching practices such as shaming and yelling at kids. Your money (or state funds from ESA) supports old and outdated teaching that leads to bullying at this school and in the future workplace. It's sad to see such kind families be taken advantage of and bullied into silence and submission. My children were frequent honor roll students and still had issues, how will your students fare here?

The unprofessionalism that was displayed by Jennifer Buchanan was outright sickening and disgusting. She verbally attacked the school and staff that currently enhances my child's life and education. Not only did she do that publicly in front of all of the parents, but in front of the children as well. What adult does that?! That's absolute bullying, defamation of character, and abuse of power. She also lied to a lot of us. A few months ago she verbally promised us that our children had a guaranteed spot only to back peddle and say that was not the case. And not to mention, she had zero data to back up her malicious, false claims! You clearly have an integrity issue here. I have heard stories of the staff bullying families and again, I was open to giving this school another chance because the administration had changed. Apparently old, ugly spirited, and gross standards remain. What part of how you treat people is Godlike in your Catholic school? Why do you place unqualified people in positions where they abuse their unqualified power? I am so grateful that this all happened so I didn't waste my money and or tax credits on your school. St. Cyrils, you have lost so many amazing families over this. Not only did this cost you incredible humans within these families, it cost you so much in tuition dollars, and this continued behavior continues to cost you your reputation.

That being said, I'd like to start off by saying, you workers at Phoenix are not my parents. You can not tell me my FASFA income is wrong or incorrect. I even gave y'all my parents socials so you could get their incomes yourselves, as requested, and such action was taken. Recently, I received a email saying I owed Phoenix $1,100. I wanted to see why so I logged and they withdrew me, without even informing me. They have a sixteen percent graduation rate and now I understand why. I'm transferring my credits to a different college, because honestly, this one, despite being online, the workers will stress you out. I gave them two stars because I actually enjoyed the two classes I was allowed to take. Other than that, I would not recommend Phoenix to anybody.
