- I will be starting the Bachelors in IT this month after completing the Associates. I am a returning student from Stanbridge's IT diploma program from about 5 years ago. The school has on eof the only IT programs that combines IT certs with a degree. The faculty have been excellent - from Tim's Linux class to Phil's enterprise admin courses, the instruction has been excellent - looking forward to starting the new Cisco CCNP classes. The concentration and variety of certifications in just the Associates program cannot be found anywhere else - from the Cisco Security, wireless, Powershell courses to Sharepoint, the breadth is excellent. Career Services has been great - the resume prep is detailed and Ace the Interview sessions are strong - outstanding program.

- This school is a joke and should have their accreditation yanked. I am in the IT program and the instructors are Sub-Par at best. The equipment is outdated. The financial aid dept is a joke. The career services department is the only bright spot but not much of one.
Spend the extra money and find a school where you will receive a "quality education" because this place isn't it.

- Umm, to the reviewer who posted on 6/27/2010: No you do not make the rules, if you made the rules, there would be utter chaos and confusion. They are the professionals and you are not. The only thing you got right on your post is that going straight to RN Schooling is the way to go because it pays more.

- I am a recent graduate of the Stanbridge IT program. The Career Services department is excellent - I was assisted with multiple job interviews and am working with an EMR startup company in high growth mode. The interview prep was excellent. The classes were excellent - Phil, Konst and Tim were outstanding. Stanbridge has invested in good people. The smartboards in all the classes are cutting edge.

- Stanbridge is an excellent school. I am just graduating and have been extremely pleased with the clinicals I have had in term 3 and especially the OB and Peds now. We will be doing our Judy Miller in a few weeks and I am looking forward to graduating and taking the NCLEX.

- Stanbridge is a class act - I graduated at the March commencement ceremonies which was regal, 6 stars and really impressive. I give the Career services department high marks - Kathy has been great and helped me with my resume and portfolio. My sense of gratitude however goes to the teachers, especially Ms. Deidre who made me lose my fear of the ICU and Ms. Leigh for making Mental Health a great learning experience. I absolutely loved Healthbridge Childrens hospital and the rotation I got there. I am waiting for my authorization from the BVNPT but am so satisfied with the follow up NCLEX prep the school is offering - overall the hard program - the curriculum was great and NCLEX prep was tiring but now worth every bit. I am planning on bridging to a BSN at Indianna State this fall - I wish Stanbridge would start an RN program soon!

- The year flew by faster than I anticipated - nursing school was a dream one day and we just graduated last week - a year after starting on making it happen. From being a rookie to confident charting and VS, I feel I am ready to take the boards. Thank you to my instructors in all terms and especially Ms. Carol and Ms. Pat. Going full time was tough but Stanbridge had the resources to guide me and I am thankful for t he support from Anitra and Kate in Student Services - all your assistance with remediation sign ups is appreciated! I will recommend Stanbridge College for its excellent curriculum, high quality classrooms and large skills lab. The instructors were very good and I really enjoyed my clinical sites - especially the term 3 acute hospitals and Healthbridge.

- I can't believe I am coming to the end of term1. I love Brighton gardens and have learned so much, I cant wait to go to term 2. I am a little apprehensive of the med-surg classes in terms 2 and 3 but have heard the instructors are veterans and provide loads of tutoring. For those of you looking to get into nursing school without the 3 year wait list at jcs - vn school is a great route. If you are going to school full time though , it is no joke. Going to Stanbridge is another matter - the program is tough and the instructors hold you to high standards and are strict but I feel the hard work is worth it because I did not know I could learn so much and feel I will be a better nurse when I graduate - I will never be 1 minute late or have anything other than super clean white shoes!!!

- Happy Happy Happy - thank you Stanbridge for helping me with getting my first job and the awesome instructors for their teaching- this was no cake walk - the program was tough but all my instructors were there with tutoring assistance and and I loved all my clinicals except Los Al where parking was such a nightmare - the site was good otherwise. The acute rotations at Garden Grove Hospital and term 4 at Healthbridge Children's was great. I will never wear my hair down again, have long nails or wear anything but white shoes from the drill sergeant military training at Stanbridge - ha ha I am glad its over and I am glad I went through such a strong program!

- I just passed my NCLEX!!!! 86 questions! Thank you MS. Wanda, Ms. Carol and all the term 4 instructors!! Stanbridge's program was tough and I am not sure how I made it past all the rules and strict discipline but it was worth it - I could hear my instructors voices when I took the exam and I know I have been well prepared to be an nurse. Career Services - here I come - thank you for being so persistent with the Alumni classes and resume - I am glad you were proactive.

- I am an IT student at Stanbridge and love the career services folks. They are helping me with a job in IT before I am a graduate and I appreciate the extra length she has gone to help me with logos on my resume. The cet prep is solid and all 3 of my instructors have been excellent. I think Stanbridge is the only school that preps for IT certs while you get your degree. The focus on the new MCITP Administrator with Exchange and CCNA and linux is a good base and I intend to continue to the associate degree so I can take the tonnes of security and wireless classes they have.

- Stanbridge has one of the highest NCLEX pass rates and while I agree the school is very strict on attendance, grading and especially wearing uniforms properly at clinical sites, I am not here to watch a movie but to get a great education. The program is not easy and it was tough adjusting especially not having been in school for a while. I am getting a great education and love the clinical sites we have been to. My goal is to get licensed and bridge to the RN and I know the school has the best track record for passing the nursing boards as well as students continuing on to the RN. I am happy.

- This school sucks. I would not recommend it to anyone. Most of the teachers suck. All the nurses treat you like you are in the military. Nursing schools should change regarding how they treat their students. Back in the day it was cheap to go to school, now we pay what 30000 to get a crappy education experience. I am the customer, and I am paying you. We should be making the rules. Well enough of this stupid school, and on to telling you what you should do. Never go to LVN school if you really want to be an RN. It is just a waist of time. No jobs out there that you really want in SoCal. The pay sucks next to an RN. This is what you do. Get a job in the hospital doing whatever. Get A Job in a hospital is number one. If I would do it all over again, I would have gotten my CNA and phlebotomy certs, get a crappy job for 6 months to a year and get into a hospital. And get a job in a hospital that pays for your school. I recently got 3 job offers at 3 different hospitals, as a CNA and PCT getting paid more than a LVN would in a hospital. Because the hospitals I work at don't hire LVN and they pay more. I would work as a CNA or PCT and go to school on the hospitals budget to be a RN. They send you to school and if your lucky they make you sign a contract for you to promise to work there for 2 to 5 years. Hell yes. Get my education paid for and I get a job when I graduate. Yes. This is the way to go. Don't listen to all these private schools and economy job markets. All job markets are bad. RN is your best bet. Not LVN. Go straight for your RN. Hell get a BA in something else and do the fast track BSN program at a university or state college. Only take 12 to 17 months. Listen to all these reviews. I think only one is good. That says something. I think I am the only one for 2010 that wrote so far. The school still sucks. Administration is always lost. Too strict, too stressful, Most teachers suck. No good thing comes from this school. Well I have preached long enough. Don't go to a private LVN school in SoCal. Waste of money.
