I enjoyed the instructors at rasmussen college. They each have their own unique teaching methods, which I enjoyed.

Great college

Kim was extremely gracious, helpful, and supportive. It was a pleasure sitting down with her today

Over paid for tuition for the amount of energy the college invest into the students. The college needs to invest more money into their staff (advisors, assistants, ect). Every time you try and get in contact with the committee they are busy and you have to wait days for an appointment. Classes are scheduled last minute and are changed last minute. Professors have a huge turn over rate. Very much self taught information. Take your money elsewhere.

I love being a student at this college. The instructors and students advisors are so helpful with everything. The financial aid department is very organized and keep you up to date with all of your financial aid.

Great experience

Teachers for most classes seemed disconnected. Many times information and tasks were outdated with missing instructions on how to complete projects. Sometimes teachers seem as if they don’t understand the material they are presenting. This school takes a sink or swim approach. You will have to find a lot of information on your own to complete projects

I have been a student at Rasmussen for 3 years. I completed the medical assisting program and continued on to the RN program. Overall I had a great experience in the MA program and would recommend it. When it comes to the RN program there are a lot of pros and cons that need to be considered. Pros: When I started the program you were only required to get a 65% on your TEAS test which is relatively low compared to other nursing programs. This is your ticket into the program and you can start almost immediately where as other RN programs can have long wait times. The program is accelerated so depending on what generals you have done it is around 2 years or less to get your associates. They provide you with a lot of helpful resources such as an online library, APA guides, free tutoring, resume building websites, microsoft, and career services. Cons: The program is very disorganized, they provide you with very little study material or guidance on how to study for the exams. You usually get a powerpoint for each week and will get a study guide you can go through on your own less than a week before the exam. The exams are very challenging, if you aren't a self starter this program is not for you. They will not work with your schedule at all, in the beginning of the program I was in class one day a week, towards the end I am here 3-4 days a week. Make sure the program is accredited!! Not all campuses are accredited! When I fist started the location I was at was not and they didn't inform me of that or what that meant until my orientation day. This can greatly impact your future employment so read the fine print an ask questions!
