Hi Esme21,

In the school's defense, I'm currently enrolled myself and will beg to differ. The program is great, and the professors know their stuff. I'm having a great experience at this university and I am relishing in nursing knowledge. Next year they're implementing an entrance exam and this should improve the student's success rate. I wish you luck in your studies!

St Thomas university is the worst nursing school . Please, do not go there .I know what I am talking about . Students don't have freedom of speech . Imagine taking loans , and you don't learn what you need to learn . They keep the worst teachers in order to make people fail , so that they can get more money . Without us , they won't get paid . I've heard now they're trying to kick people out . Hopefully , I go to Nova now . I know what a good nursing school is . The Dean is a really bad , jealous person . She needs to be replaced . She likes seeing people fail . As a teacher , she always says that she's using only the book , but she's lying . Spending hours and hours in the book Will never help you out . Smart people fail by using the book , and the dumb people passed because they already know what she was going to use , but at the end of the day those students who passed don't learn anything. Her exams were not related to the book at all . Everyone was complaining, but they were scared to talk . Remember , students have no freedom of speech .The book is everything. The program is worst now because of her . They want to make profit but don't care about the students who have to pay the money back . When they have an entrance test , they'll get nobody. They have some students because there's no entrance test. I know many smart people that they already put down . They need to stop what they are doing . So unfair for the students who are taking big amount of loan . I cannot believe . If you don't believe me, go there and you'll see . Every single student will tell you the same thing. Good luck !

Hi I am enrolled in the spring 2019 class. I am extra nervous about starting and wanted to speak to a student who is actually in the program. If you could contact me I would greatly appreciate it.. I think we can only private message here

Hi Jazzy,

I'm a current student at St. Thomas University's Nursing Program, cohort six. I recently finished my first semester here. I'd be glad to answer any questions in regards to the program.

Best and Regards,

Moises Castillo

Did you pass all of your classes? How supportive is the staff? I heard some people dropped out, did a lot of people from your class stay? I'm sorry if I'm throwing a thousand questions at once lol, I'm just nervous

Hi Jazzy,

To answer your first question, yes I passed all of my courses; I can't say the same about all of my classmates. If by staff you're referring to the professors, they're great at what they're teaching but there's room for improvement. Yes, about three of my classmates dropped out; two for financial reasons and one because she couldn't handle the pressure. Lots of people have stayed in the program but had to drop out of Pharmacology; it's a tough course and is one meant to weed out students. If you're math skills are weak you best start reviewing basic algebra, arithmetic, the metric system, gram and liter conversions. Lastly, I can say that anyone who cheated their way through college won't survive in this nor any other nursing program. If you have any more questions let me know.

How? I have a strong science/mathematics background so some of the material came easy to understand. My largest challenge was learning the drug names, indications and important side effects. My best suggestion is downloading this app named "Picmonic," I wish I had discovered this app sooner. It's a great app that'll aid you in remembering he names and important facts. Read the chapters ahead of time; focus on the tables and understand the material. Learn the vocabulary; I'm not referring to only the blue print words you find in the text but also any terms you don't understand you'll likely see them in the questions again. During exams pay attention to what they're asking you. When it comes to nursing exams they give you scenarios that the information is sometimes irrelevant. Review your anatomy and physiology. If you understand the concept you'll likely come to the correct answer even if you don't recognize the procedure or drug. Get a study partner, someone reliable and that won't deviate from studying. Don't be intimidated by your professors, you're there to learn. Make efforts to study in the weekends. Nursing is all about critical thinking and time investment, i can't emphasize that enough. I have classmates who failed because they didn't make school their priority. There aren't any curves, but there's sometimes in SUPER rare cases extra credit. Don't get carried away with the notorious "test banks" memorizing questions and answers is easy but you're not learning anything; the only person you're cheating is yourself. Reach out to the other cohorts, I'm in cohort six as I said before and am willing to help anyone who has put effort on their part. As much as I wished the knowledge would just crawl into my brain it doesn't, i was very intimidated by all the information too but I'd always alleviate my anxiety by remembering that every other nurse, pa, doctor started where I did. Oh and get sleep.

Also, don't think I'm perfect. I'm telling g you sometimes I should have been doing but I have a terrible habit of procrastinating; so I can say intuition and luck also play a role xD

Ok I'll keep your advice in mind. And yes I agree to try to get the help of previous cohorts. I just super nervous about starting and my anxiety is mostly stemming from what happens if I studied my butt off and still fail. Now what? I guess when I start my nerves will calm down.
