Florida Hospital College of Health Sciences.

I am looking to attend this school. Has anybody heard anything good or bad about it?

In my 2nd to last semester. The online Help Desk is a nightmare. They can't "HELP" with Turn It In, a submission that the school requires you to use. Issues with resubmissions take 24 hours so you'd better be on the ball and turn in your work early, which negates the due date. Quality of education is fair. In RN-BSN completion. Overall instructors have been good, just a few issues here and there. If you don't have computer "issues" it is easier. If you do have issues, God help you.

hey there everyone,

i am currently looking at fhchs (florida hospital college) to do my bsn. i researched literally the whole website and did research and google searches and reviews and as much homework i could think of, and in short i think it looks good.

i wanted to ask, could you double up on classes to finish faster? like taking 2 nursing courses a trimester instead of one and in addition a general ed. course?

i will also try to call an advisor for more info. i would appreciate anything i could find out further about the program thanks.

I don't have any personal experience with FHCHS, but I did work several years ago for another Adventist medical center that had an attached health occupations college (including a nursing program) in a different state, and both the medical center and the college were v. highly regarded in the area. Healthcare is a big focus of the Adventist denomination ministry, all over the world, and they are v. serious about having good organizations and high standards. Based on my previous experience, I wouldn't hesitate to attend an Adventist nursing program (or work in one of their hospitals again).

darkmillenium,

Did you find out if you can double up on the classes? I am interested in this school as well, but like you I would like to do it as quickly and efficiently as I could. Just curious what you found out!

ctyler98, are you in the ADN program or the rn to bsn? I'm applying for admission to the college in the fall just to take their Philosophy in Healthcare requirement since that's the last prereq I'll need and then I'm applying for Spring admission. The counselor told me that they are transitioning to a 4 yr only BSN program in Fall 2012, so I'm pushing to get in before they change over.

cytyler98, I am SOOO glad to hear some positive opinions about this school. I will be starting their rn-bsn completion program this summer. The reviews that I have read so far online were not very favorable..... it seems however that the online distance nursing program (according to the reviews I have read here) appears to be rated very well.

ShionRN glad I could help ya =) I wasn't sure what to expect before I started either, since some reviews were not too favorable....but like I have previously posted, I have nothing but positive things to say about the program =) If you have any question about anything feel free to ask =) Good luck with your classes!!

cytyler98... thanks for responding so quickly... I do have a question. Have you taken the stats class as yet? I have to take 2 classes prior to taking the core classes. The intro to micro computers and chemistry. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Some of the core class instructors were some of the best instructors I have ever had in my life.

I took chemistry, A&P, chem at Fl. Hospital college as well as statistics. These instructors are included in my top group. In fact I was more impressed with some of the core instructors more than some of the nursing.

Don't get me wrong, some of the instructors in the program were great but there were some really bad ones too. I would recommend the general ed program to anyone who wants a quality education with incredible profs.

I think some of the clinkers have gone either retired or let go. But it took too long IMO.

That college has alot to offer and I think anyone who goes there with the desire to learn will not be disappointed. The nursing program like any program has its good and bad, but the general level of education there is wonderful in my experience.
