Julie Garner Student at This School - Grad Year 2013
If at all possible, do not attend this school. The quality of many the instructors are bottom of the barrel. It's hard enough to go through nursing school without having to endure the administrators, pseudo-administrators and professors bully and distract you until they become a toxic presence in your life. If you are not conditioned to take a subservient role in your education and subsequently your life, chances are you will not succeed in this program even if you are academically a top student. Too bad, this used to be considered a pretty good program but unfortunately the quality of the program has been diluted.
Clara Allen Student at This School - Grad Year 2012
Awesome experience with the staff, ie the Combat 2 Combat team, disabled student service at Germantown and Rockville . Thanks to my professors! (Praise to Tom Brennan and Tuyet Jackson) I am off to a good start and enjoying life at Montgomery College
