"The nursing program is predatory. There has been a mas exodus of teachers and the good ones have refused to return because they don't trust the head of the department. They have lied to the Virginia Board of Nursing and the VA regarding their NCLEX pass rates and the VA will now not allow new students to use their GI Bill to attend this program. Last I heard, the Virginia Department of Nursing was also reviewing them due to complaints. If you still want to attend, anticipate having to teach yourself everything and probably still failing out of the program. Out of my class of over 35 students, only 1 or 2 haven't failed out. They staff is rude and condescending. They will tell you to go into debt to go through their program and to not pay your bills so you can focus on them if youre not doing well. They will accept anyone that will pay them, and legitimately only see students as dollar signs. When students drop out, they dont care because there's always new students for them to prey upon with lies and false promises. They don't want students passing, the more students that pass their program the more they risk their NCLEX pass rate dropping. **EDIT TO ADDRESS THEIR RESPONSE** The program had previously been allowed to receive GI Bill students, however that is not currently the case. Their response was misleading, making it seem like they've never been able to utilize GI Bill funding, because the program "has not yet" been able to? They had been able to just fine for the previous two years at least before it was revoked. This school's nursing program is the most toxic thing I've had the misfortune of feeding into. When the new director of the program took over and we had the Board of Nursing visit she solicited students to be available to answer questions about the program, then coached answers and told us what to tell them, instead of offering our genuine experiences because it could have affected the programs standing. The nursing staff themselves heard the same things about the schools standing with the Board of Nursing and the V.A. They're only sorry I'm publicly speaking out, they literally only care about making money off of the people they can sweet talk into attending their program."

"This is for nursing… They will draw you in with their nice admission reps then when you get there, they completely flip the script. They don’t care about you or your success. You’re just a number to them. Half of the instructors are completely clueless on what to even do for the course. There was one who held a secret meeting with certain students, gave them the test answers and I not then revealed to the rest of the class that we were having a test. The rest of the class failed. Only a couple of the instructors are great. If you do clinicals you will most likely get misled by an instructor who has their own set of rules and then they will hold it against you for not following the “rules”. It’s like they want you to fail just to get your money.They will put on a big Smiley face when the board of nursing shows up and the students are so safaris if the administration, we don’t tell them the truth when we are asked. Either way, our word doesn’t matter to them and it never will. Ask any Bryant and Stratton nursing student and you will always get the same answer.DON’T DO IT."
