THIS SCHOOL IS SO UNORGANIZED.. IT IS RIDICULOUS. DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU WANT A QUALITY EDUCATION!!!!!! YOU WILL HAVE TO TEACH YOURSELF EVERY SINGLE THING! NO HELP, THE DEAN DOESNT HELP, THEY DONT WANT YOU TO SUCCEED.

-10/10. This is the most snakey and unorganized school. They treat you like you are chopped liver. They expect you to be professional and understanding and they are the least bit of that. They do not care about any of your issues and if you try to get a hold of them- you wont. They are never in office and never respond to emails. You as a student are the least of their priorities. I have two weeks until graduation and they have made my dream of being a nurse a nightmare.

I had high hopes with the nursing program. The communication is very poor and orientation is poor. Providing numerous emails is not a form of orientation and proper communication. Classes are scheduled at times convenient to the instructors so this is not a program for working people although you must have insurance for clinicals, so I suppose it is for those fresh out of high school still under their parents insurance and with no children of their own. The online platform is confusing. Just because an accelerated program is fast does not mean it should be unmanageable, if half the class is struggling and failing there is a problem. Instructors present PowerPoints with over 25 grammatical errors and then deduct points from student assignments with grammatical errors. Instructors are teachers that are suppose to lead by example, especially nurses. Aside from that many of the instructors at the campus I was at, I would not want as a nurse to treat me. They lack tact, caring and ettitiqutte and yet they are instructors, teaching future nurses. The program could be so much better without the clique of instructors currently there, including some of the Dean's. They feed of each other and talk about the students inappropriately. One instructor, I suppose, became upset that I emailed the Dean about a lack of response from my instructor, so she used me as an example that day in class. Of course she didn't mention my name but the scenario was mine and I was shocked. It's these types of immature behaviors that you see all the time in the nursing program at Rasmussen.

As another Rasmussen reviewer wrote, “Run, run, run!” If you read all of the Rasmussen reviews and still decide to attend, I highly encourage you to triple-check the information you are given from the advisors and other staff members, and to get it in writing. My experience included information that was often incomplete and inaccurate, as well as inconsistent between staff members and other platforms (e.g., the Rasmussen website). I contacted the director of the program, the academic dean, and the admissions office and my feedback was left unheard and unrecognized, which means they have no intentions of trying to improve. Being a profit-based institution, the lack of customer service is shockingly bad. Based on what happened to me, plan to be your own advocate by researching and gathering your own information as the advisors are often over-worked, without the knowledge to answer questions, and unable to perform their jobs, or a combination of all of the above – which is a nice way of saying they are incompetent.

Do not recommend.

Where to begin. This is my first one star rating I've ever posted. If I could give zero, I would. I was failed on a final paper because the grader didn't feel I understood the course content. When I re-took the class, because of how confident I was in my work, I turned in the same exact papers and passed with a 100%. Later on, I took another class that was aligned with my current line of work. I asked the instructor for some more information and any advice he had and he told me to "Google it". Later in the course with the same instructor, I had classmates reaching out to me for help. The instructor many times mentioned "[she] brings up a good point". Another instructor told introduced herself on the first day by saying he has a "masters in marketing, so I'm like really good at Marketing". Give me a break. The instructors have no intention on "teaching" you anything. They are here just to help you get your degree and take your money. I should have skipped the graduation ceremony. How dare you think it's ok to mix in the bachelor students graduating with those receiving a certificate? I cannot even imaging how the few Master degree recipients felt walking the same stage as those who didn't put forth nearly the same hours or effort as the graduate degrees. If this is the case due to number of graduates, at least differentiate the students by different colored cords. We ALL had gold. For myself graduating 3.8 GPA. I shouldn't look like someone who received their certificate with honors. Do yourself the favor and don't waste your time at this "college"

Students cheat their way through the nursing program. Quizzes, assignments and tests are recycled making it easy for students borrow them from their friends who are ahead of them. To make it worse quizzes and tests are not proctored giving way to widespread cheating. Graduates from this College are half baked. Their degree is not worth the paper they are printed on. Stay away from them it’s a money-making machine

Horrible worst experience of my life
