Eagle Gate College Boise Campus

"I am a new student just starting the nighttime LPN program I first want to say I give a five star to Tanna. Tanna has gone above and beyond to try and make this experience as pleasurable and understandable as possible. However, in my opinion, this is a very unorganized college. You are using multiple platforms to try to complete your assignments. When you ask if you can get one on one help I was told to submit an IT ticket. I was also told that there’s no one at the school that can help me right before class due to being in the night program and the building closing That I would need to schedule an appointment with my professor. ( which is not a big deal, but I feel like all students should have access to help if needed. ) I’m also trying to still figure out how the professors are going to successfully teach a class of 40 students in little time. For example, yesterday was our first day in class. We had two hours in class with two assignments the professor wanted to try and get done, however NO fault to the professor we were not able to complete both assignments in two hours with 40 students and all of the questions. I feel like the start of this program could be much smoother with some more organization. I definitely feel like the beginning of this program. Makes you feel like nursing school is impossible however, don’t give up keep pushing forward if this is the dream you really want to achieve. ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE"

"I had the opportunity to work directly with Zach Miller, admissions counselor over the course of the last few months to prepare me for the PN program. I have an immense amount of gratitude for his dedication and persistence through this process. He was eager to assist me, in figuring out if this program would be suitable for my life, and offered suggestions for a good school/work life balance. Zach provided great detail into the program, if there was something he didn’t he promptly got back to me with the information. I do appreciate the approach he took helping to ensure, I felt confident making this decision! I can’t wait to start this journey of nursing!"

"This is one of those schools that the learning and teaching portion was great, but with one of the worst deans I’ve ever met. I had been in the Bachelors of Science in Nursing program back in 2020 for over a year and never failed one class. I was successful in the program until on campus instruction started. During that time I had found out I was pregnant(with a possible ectopic pregnancy). It was also during the time where lots of places were requiring the COVID vaccine. I had a meeting with the dean and my instructor and they all encouraged me to get the COVID vaccine, which to me was fine as I was not against it. That’s when I found in I was pregnant and began to rethink my decisión. I decided I did not feel comfortable getting it, and they immediately pulled me aside to question my decision. I told them I was not going to get it and that I was going to submit for the exemption and they told me it was not going to get approved regardless of me being pregnant. The dean Xiomara Perez said to me,”You shouldn’t even be a nurse if you’re not going to get the vaccine and support science.” I was in COMPLETE SHOCK. I mean who in the hell has the right to tell someone else that they shouldn’t be a nurse over a vaccine? Mind you my instructor was in the room the entire time listening to our conversation. I responded to the dean saying she was rude for saying that to me, but in all honesty she was a complete unprofessional, arrogant person who could careless about my feelings. After this incident happened I had some classmates reach out to me telling me that they were experiencing similar conversations with her. I even talked to one of the admission’s advisors and the MD’s I work for about the incident and they were all in complete shock. After this experience I was left thinking about how people like Xiomara failed to represent what a compassionate, open-minded, non-judge mental nurse is. Don’t go to this school."

"My enrollment counselor, Angel, has been the best! He has followed up with me with phone calls and emails in a timely manner which is great but the best part is that he talks to you like you're a person. Angel treats potential students as people instead of numbers and seats needing to be filled. Angel has worked with me despite many challenges in the enrollment process to get me enrolled into the program I wanted and when that didn't work out, he went above and beyond to offer a different program to better suit my situation, answer all of my questions, and took the time to ease my anxieties about having to choose another program. He even has reached out to his colleagues to ensure that they followed up when I told him that I hadn't received a timely response. Eagle Gate College, you picked a good one with Angel!"

"The school is great for a single mother but the process is stressful. I have been attending now since May 9th and yet to have financial aid fixed. My advisor says she will get back to me the following day and I don't hear from her till end of week at end of day. There is always something wrong with something and for someone relaying on the aid it is hard and frustrating. I never had this issue when attending Boise State is was 2 weeks and everything was answered in that same week what was needed. Not "its 30- to 60 days depending on how long their team works on your aid and any issues""
