My name is Carolyn Cardamis. I always held UCI in the highest esteem. I raved about the care I…read morereceived in the past. I will never again trust this hospital and their decisions. I have a broken right elbow. I have a surface hematoma and I didn't break anything on my buttocks, but when I fell, it took a very serious bruise. I cannot lie on my back. I cannot sit in a chair. The PA comes in to tell me I'm going home. All I have to do is walk 20 steps. I managed to walk 20 steps. So they felt I qualified to go home. I told the PA I was not going home unless my pain was under control. They gave me morphine and said it would work fairly quickly. It's an hour and a half and I cannot move my elbow or buttocks. I am in excruciating pain when I try to move. I asked the PA if they needed to send home a few patients because they needed the space. I told her all I had heard from the very beginning is that you won't have to stay. I told her I no longer trusted the decisions of this hospital. I also told her I was not going home with the pain I'm now experiencing. If something is good. I wanna call it good. If something is bad. I wanna call it bad. I will send this letter to the headquarters of UCI. I am deeply disappointed that they lost the respect I had for them. I trusted UCI. When the ambulance said I was going there, I said yippee Calle. I will not be saying that again. Sincerely yours, Carolyn Cardamis

Likes: - Killer design classes: Engr7A+B, MAE52, MAE106, MAE172/280, Engr165/265, 245. If YOU don't take these, I WILL regret it. - You'll need Matlab over the course of your curriculum, so MAE10 is a fundamental start. - And while you're at it, make as many friends as you can in your lower-divs. - If you take MAE115, you learn how to predict rain! - Take every class you can with Dr Edwin Hernandez. He's hilarious! - Professor Haithem Taha only teaches the hard courses, so he records his lectures for your review. Super thoughtful. Very open to questions. - MAE175 Dynamics and Control of Aerospace Vehicles (Taha) teaches the fundamentals of flight control! Ever wonder WHY ailerons and elevators work, why airplanes have had high wings or dihedral wings? 175 is for you! - Drs Marc Madou and Lawrence Kulinsky taught MAE153/253 for me. Straightforward class, great teachers! Easy credits. - They have a wind tunnel lab for you to conduct aerodynamics experiments in MAE108. - They have a professional and organized system with counselors to prepare you for success and timely graduation. - E-Week is spectacular. If only the mechanical anteater wasn't a bull. - I guarantee your job will involve design. MAE52 (SolidWorks) is a magnificent start, since they don't teach Creo or AutoCAD here. - LOVE the Engr Career Fairs. So many freebies!! Nonlikes: - Regardless whether you aced 0 or 10 AP exams, still gotta take a BUNCH of lower-divs: Math 2D, 2E, 3A, 3D, Physics 7C CL, 7D 7L, 7E, Chem 1LE. I already learned basic Newtonian mechanics and electricity and magnetism, yet they made me "re-learn" it in 7C and 7D... Wasted talent, time, MONEY. Also, I won't need to know about optics or superconductors, so they should've made Phys 7E and Chem 1LE electives. Interesting classes, but no reason to be degree requirements. - MAE200B was the epitome of useless stuff I had to take. Ruined my 4.0 GPA in order to graduate within 1 year. - You touch on numerous corners of MAE, yet your future job will only use 10% of it. As in, the upper divs (MAE130A, MAE130B, MAE146 to name a few) touch on fluid boundary layers, astronomy, HVAC, even how to predict rain! Yet my job mainly uses skills from MAE52 (transferred my SolidWorks into Creo), Engr54 and MAE150 (stress analysis and FEA), MAE120 (heat transfer). That is, I use only 5 out of the 70 classes I took to get my degrees... - UCI MAE teaches all this theory and research stuff, but does not focus on employment skills, such as using Creo Parametric, AutoCAD, and Catia, or how to manage tolerances (some materials are harder to precision machine than others). Waste! - The engr trailer computer lab before the Fuel Cell Research Center smelled musty during my college career. Hope they AC'ed and cleaned the place by now. - Parking at APS is a pain. Always crowded all the way to the roof all day everyday!

Right now with COVID economic depression I can't afford risk being stuck with a bad teacher. Based on my experiences with UCI and other reviews I won't pursue my online training at UCI.

I am an Alumn from BSNRS cohort 7 but a majority of the experience of my time at Stanbridge was in…read moreBSNLA cohort 6. I finished the BSN program in July of 2025. I received my ATT (approval to test) within one week from my last day. I had the option to test immediately but I had applied to test with accommodations so with limited centers for accommodations I tested 1 month out in August and passed the first time. I worked closely with our Careers Center and the director Dr. Willinger to create an amazing resume right after receiving my license, began applying to jobs immediately and received an invitation to interview within one week for DaVita. Two weeks later I received an invitation to interview for an ER position close to home which was my first choice to build a strong foundation as a new nurse. I know there are a lot of negative comments about this school on here. I have heard and watched a lot of sad and crazy experiences that my friends and other peers endure with staff and faculty throughout my 3.5 years there. I have experienced questionable professors and staff who are obviously there for the paycheck. On the other end, I have met 2x as many INCREDIBLE staff and faculty throughout my time at Stanbridge. People need to understand that this is still a relatively new program and it's still working through a lot of adjustments both within the programs itself, how they handle students, and how they handle staff. But with being new comes an advantage to incoming students because with the help of the right people and resources, there is flexibility and grace that comes with a class or a term that possibly end in a fluke (I.e. bad professors, missing classes due to extreme circumstances, etc.). I understand this is not everyone's experience, but I HAVE seen multiple times where the school does work with students to properly evaluate their knowledge of a subject a second time if there is overwhelming evidence showing it was not properly done the first time. It also is dependent on how an issue is communicated as well. Any nursing program out there is hard and rigorous. Stanbridge is not unique to this. I can confidently say that I went in to the NCLEX feeling so prepared because of how this school preps you. If you follow testing strategies and work closely with the coaches at the end of the program YOU. WILL. PASS. From Term 1 Stanbridge works with students not just on building testing stamina but building testing stamina while sleep deprived. It's not officially an actual thing. They always told us to be well rested and to eat before but, the reality of any nursing program is adequate sleep is simply not possible. You just have to get through each term and pass. Keep moving even if you have a set back, do your best to not stop. I have no idea how many times I thought to myself that I will more than likely not remember anything after the program and I questioned if I really actually learned anything. I have been an ER nurse for almost 7 months now. Every moment of feeling competent, confident, and proud to be a nurse I owe to Stanbridge. While most of my peers in my new grad program have forgotten a lot of basics and high priorities, I am one of the few who still remembers and I am so thankful. I had zero medical background coming into the program. My science gpa at a 3.5 was not competitive enough for CCs, UCs, or CSUs to see me as a priority candidate for their RN program. Stanbridge was the first school to take a chance on me and invest in me. Before Stanbridge I was never the student who was picked for scholarships, awards, or special internships. The last 2 years at Stanbridge I received scholarships every term, was selected for Student Hospital Fellowship, received the Presidential Service Award, and ended the program with the Thomas Fuentes Service Award. This was all because ONE staff member encouraged me to apply each time an opportunity was sent out. The Stanbridge experience is truly what YOU choose to make it. I have met some amazing people with incredible hearts at this school. I loved that I don't need to hike or walk a mile to get to class. I loved that I only needed to be on the ground once or twice a week. Nursing school was THE hardest thing I have ever done. I gave up my entire life for 3 years just to eat, live, breathe, and sleep nursing. You can ensure your success in this program if you want this more than anything else. There will be times where you have to pick school over your family and it sucks. But being on the other side now, it is SO worth it and now I have the rest of my life. My husband is currently in the program now and is in term 4 at the OC campus. He hasn't been in school full time in over 10 years and he is doing amazing. I'm proud to be a nurse and I'm proud to be a Stanbridge Alum. The cost for tuition is pretty steep. If you have a good tribe behind you and can afford to not work during the program, I highly recommend it!

The pacing was manageable. It was challenging, but it felt intentional rather than overwhelming. As a mom with two kids, I was able to handle it. They are my everything so I'm proud to do it for them. The course and labs were hands-on, the instructors were clear, and the program prepared me well for the NCLEX. I stayed organized, used support when I needed it, and never felt like I was struggling to get answers or keep things on track. For what I needed at that time, the part-time program allowed me to move forward into nursing, it worked.
