St. Paul's School of Nursing - Staten Island

"As a graduate needing a million things for jobs and schools I’ve had nothing but a great experience with the registrar & DOE Kevin Flanagan! He has been so speedy with his responses and super attentive. It’s really appreciative to have someone still help you when you graduate! I’ve had better experiences with him as a graduate than with anyone during my whole enrollment time at St. Paul’s."

"My review disappeared so I’m posting a new one about why you should not apply here if you want to do nursing!! Douglas young will lie and lie and lie just to get you enrolled. He’s admissions. This is not a school it’s a business and they are only out to get money$. I wasted 6 weeks in this school. We have a website called Castlebranch where we need to upload our immunizations and physical. I was told I would have until my 2nd semester to upload my documents. I had quite a few already uploaded. I was dropped due to the requirements. I have proof from Nisha Philips email that there’s plenty of first and second semester students that hasn’t done they requirements and they are still there. I was kicked out 6 weeks into the program supposedly due to the requirements but I was told when I enrolled not to worry about it. That’s 10k down the drain that I can’t get back. This school is not a school I would advise anybody to go too. I’m looking into a lawyer to go after the school. Do not waste your time or money."

"If I could give 0 I would. Those 5 star ratings have to be fake. This school is extremely unorganized, and only care about their money. You literally get your class schedule the day before or the first day of your semester. They have no where to place students for clinical and when you do go to clinicals you literally learn nothing. All you do is follow around the instructor all day and learn nothing. This school is basically you self teaching because majority of the professors just read from the slides which you can do yourself. They are getting rid of the best professors, the ones who actually care and will make sure you have all the right tools to pass. They literally have a charge for everything and if you do not monitor your charges on your account, they will surely put extra fees there. I understand nursing school is not meant to be easy, but on top of the curriculum that you have to cram pack and learn, you also have to deal with an unorganized school who literally doesn’t care about anything except payments being made to pay off your balance. The one person in the office who can actually vouch for you “Mrs. Byers”, they keep her shielded like they are her body guards because honestly she is the only one who can actually help you for most situations. Everything that seems like the quickest or easiest way is not always better. Please save yourself the stress and find another school."

"Nice Professors, very educating…. But the staff is absolutely positively horrible. If I were you I would find another school to go to. This school is absolutely unprofessional, the staff doesn’t care about their students. I’ve faced racism and discrimination and nobody ever helped me. They don’t even have a center where you can go to if you have any concerns. School is horrible and doesn’t even deserve one star. If you choose to go here, Goodluck."

"I attended this school if you can go elsewhere do it. It’s appealing since it’s relatively easy to get in but do not go here. 50k for an associates is a rip off save your money and time and go somewhere else. Second semester we didn’t get our schedules set till the third week of the semester. The benchmark is 78 passing for all classes. Your technically self taught here for sure. Some professors are really nice and knowledgeable. It’s incredibly hard to contact the administration by email and even in person. Went to the office more than twice in a week and got rejected every time. People have definitely graduated but at what cost? The Nclex passing rate for this school is 50%! They don’t tell you that at anytime and they charge you for every little thing. Best of luck if you decide to go here"
