Pacific College is great. Ask recent grads. Ask the hundreds that have passed the NCLEX.

Thank you for getting the word out there. I am personally very proud of that college and feel my training has been excellent. I hope all potential students really take the time to look at all aspects of potential schools...The decision is ultimately theirs, but hopefully they will visit the college, ask direct questions and do their own research before they decide.

I am starting in Sept 2009 at Pacific College..... For me, I am a single mom with 2 kids and the 7-3:30 schedule works great for me..... I have been reading posts for some time now to try and help with making my final decission and, I have concluded almost all schools have had bad reviews... just as they have had good reviews.... I kind of look at it like this:

When my kids come home from schools saying that they don't get a long with their teacher, or don't like their schools, or sally wouldn't play with them...

(keep in mind that they love them the next day).... This is life, not everyone is going to like us, not all of our higher ups at the office will treat all of the employee's fairly.... Promotions will go to the cool guy and not the geeky guy who really deserves it....

You just have to do the best you can with whatever situation you are in...

Hold your head high, deal with life's not so nice moments with dignity...

And, I promise you, you will do just fine in whatever BON approved school you attend...

Just look at their ASSESSMENT TEST.

Have you taken it? Seriously why would they make an ASSESSMENT TEST so freaking EASY?

Remember most of these schools are FOR PROFIT schools.

PASSING RATE doesn't matter because they REMOVE all the students that couldn't teach themselves.

Go take the ASSESSMENT test at Concorde and then take the one at Pacific College and you will see who actually wants somewhat educated students!

I sent 2 friends there and they had a horrid experience. I did not, however, I cannot and would not recommend this place any longer. What happened to my 2 friends whousl not happen to anyone.

They kept changing their class dates over and over blaming it on the Nursing Board. Not right to continually disappoint people. All done with sending referrals.

Ok. So, I have read all of the most recent posts (ones posted within the last several months) and this is my conclusion. I have read the same things here that I have heard or read about on other forums concerning all schools. Period. No matter the program, there is always more dissatisfied students than the opposite. Reason being: Scool is hard. Choose a school, bust your butt, and do what you gotta do ANYWHERE you go and you should be fine. Believe it or not, schools want more students because they do want to make money. Why is that a shocker? SO they do their part in efforts to gain more students. Take care and good luck.

I loved where I went. Yes it was hard, yes it was challenging but they gave me a sense of can do and a sense of accomplishment. I did not get that at pacific.

the teachers are awesome, if youre lucky.

I AGREE if your "lucky".. meaning to get a good instructor!

The one I got RUINED my entire experience, she was DRAMA!

So, I'm assuming you must not have gotten her. I myself, and others dropped just

because of her! What a nightmare this school was for me!

I agree, I would NEVER recommend this school to anyone after what happened to me regarding one instructor .
