Plaza College should be ashamed of the work environment they've created for their employees,…read moreespecially and specifically in the Admissions Department. It's important to note that this is a family-run operation, and the Dean of Admissions is the daughter of the president of the college. Her lack of professionalism and basic leadership skills is astonishing. I would refer to the heads of the Admissions Department as callous, selfish, and pretentious girls. When you meet them, they appear to be respectable and educated women, but after maybe a month or two of working with them, you'll realize they're nothing more than immature girls who seemingly refuse to run an office efficiently. One of the first examples of this that you'll notice is in the workload expectation itself: these girls will demand that you "balance" and "time manage" your way through countless virtual or in-person meetings, incoming calls, current students needing help with financial aid (which goes way beyond what should be in your scope -- especially considering you're not on the financial aid team), document collection, and then still make 100+ daily calls to prospective students -- all of which is monitored and tracked. At this point, you'll probably realize one of two things: A) you're not getting paid enough for the insane amount of work and infeasible expectations (which they'll never admit are infeasible), or B) you quit -- which is honestly very common. If you go with option A, you might try speaking to management to ask for fair compensation or even just help with your workload -- both of which will be a waste of time. They only give support or raises to people they personally decide are "deserving," which basically means unless you're part of the management team, you can forget it. The four girls that make up the "management team" are the only ones who get even half an ounce of respect from the Dean who runs admissions -- but even they aren't safe. You may catch a glimpse of her treating her own directors like they're brain-dead, and they just nod along and take it. Something else you'll notice quickly: the directors don't do much besides micromanage and look out for themselves. Some hide it better than others, but they mostly act as a bridge between you and the Dean -- which can feel like a blessing, because once that buffer breaks, you'll find yourself sitting in 2-3 meetings a week to "review your activity." Sometimes these meetings are fine -- they'll warm you up with small talk or tell you you're hitting your "mini-goals." But then, out of nowhere, you'll have your first bad meeting, and that's when things change. They'll speak to you in such a condescending and disgusting tone that it drives some people to quit that same day -- or at the very least, start planning their exit. And here's the worst part: you'll love your team aside from them. The rest of the Admissions reps genuinely try to help each other. That's the only reason people stay -- because you're bonded by the trauma of this workplace. The teamwork and support from your peers are what keep things afloat -- not leadership. Without that, this department would collapse. There's also this fake sense of "growth" they try to dangle in front of you -- offering made-up job titles as an incentive to stick around. But those titles are meaningless. They give you no real influence over the department, or even the specific program you work on. It's just a form of bribery, usually handed out right after someone quits to make it look like there's upward mobility. But there's not. The title means nothing -- it's just a tactic. You'll also notice that when things reach a breaking point, they suddenly go into fake "damage control mode." That's when you'll see random praise, fake check-ins, and surface-level appreciation gestures -- all just to keep the department from falling apart. It's obvious and exhausting. The sad part is, once they see this review (yes, they obsessively check reviews as well), they will all deny accountability because it doesn't fit their narrative of what kind of team they think they've built. Instead of reflecting on why so many people leave, why morale is so low, or why their department has become a revolving door, they'll spend hours trying to figure out who wrote the review and deny everything among themselves. Reflection and change won't come -- just more finger-pointing and more turnover. Never in my life have I seen or heard of it being normal for people to quit on the spot -- often after just a few weeks, and in some cases, even just a few days. That's how bad it is. Do not waste your time, value, or integrity here. You deserve better -- and trust me, so do the people who are still stuck in that department.

I must say it was not always smooth sailing, but no place is perfect. My professors held me accountable for doing my part, they are smart, dedicated and approachable. I have put in the work that my professors set out for me, as every student should, and accomplished what I set out to do. See for yourself, and remember this is a school that is preparing you to have a professional career, think critically and make wise choices In life, if this is not your goal then, this is not the school for you. Nursing is a vocation, it's not a walk in the park. With self discipline, hard work and perseverance you can have your degree at St. Paul's School of Nursing In several months.

As a current student, I feel it's important to share some concerns about the way this school treats…read moreits students. Recently, we received an email stating that students are not permitted to enter classrooms before the scheduled class time so that instructors can "prepare the learning environment." However, in reality, many professors arrive exactly at the start time or even after class is supposed to begin. Meanwhile, students are expected to stand in hallways or find somewhere else to go even when we arrive early after work to study. The only alternative spaces are the library or cafeteria, both of which have very limited seating. It feels unreasonable to pay out of pocket for an education and not even be allowed to sit in an empty classroom while waiting. We then received another email about elevator use, which is understandable for accessibility reasons. However, the message stated that misuse could result in parent/guardian contact. This is a school of adults, and many of us are parents ourselves. Including language like that clearly shows how little the administration thinks of its students and reinforces the feeling that we are treated like children rather than responsible adults paying for a professional education. Another major concern is the lack of respect and support from some faculty members. For example, Professor Jayne Kier is extremely unapproachable. Students feel uncomfortable asking questions because responses are often sarcastic, dismissive, or met with long, intimidating stares. There is little guidance provided, yet students are made to feel as though they are wrong for seeking help. This creates a stressful and discouraging learning environment. Lastly, it often feels like students cannot safely voice concerns. When issues are brought up to administration, they are dismissed as complaints rather than taken seriously even though many of us are committed, adult learners who care deeply about our education and future careers. It is incredibly disappointing to be treated this way as paying adult students. We invest our time, energy, and money into this program, yet we are treated as if we are receiving a free service and should simply accept it without question. The tone and treatment are not only disrespectful, they are humiliating.

She was very strong and shocked about my statement and said she was going to have Ms Hunter call me. I spoke to my husband who told me that a quitter won't win and a winner never quits. Soon after Joy gave me a call and said "Ms. Bucknor you can't quit, you have to reach your goal." I then spoke with one of the directors, Robert. Rob gave me some great advice and we ended the discussion with "Happy Holiday and I will be seeing you on campus next week." It made me so happy to speak with them. The nervousness did not go away because it was a long time since I sat in a classroom chair. I even had difficulty sleeping. But, with the help of my classmates and my instructor Ms. July I succeeded and completed the program with an A average! I want to thank my teacher, classmates, and husband for all the support.

BEWARE POTENTIAL NURSING STUDENTS! This is by far the worst school for nursing. I went here for a…read moredegree in health Science / Nursing just to be told by my advisor that there is a high chance I won't get accepted into their nursing program even with a high GPA and that I should look else where. Too many people and not enough seats according to them which is ridiculous. Could it possibly be because they are bringing foreign exchange students from overseas into the nursing program for free which is lowering the acceptance rate for already attending students who pay out of pocket? Why am I coming here for nursing if I can't even get my license here?? If you call the nursing department they either don't answer or have an attitude, providing 0 help. Professors are also unethical, they require you to purchase their books and if you don't you basically fail. I even had some professors, create their own external websites instead of using Brightspace, which has made me and many other students fail their class due to how irrational they were. The school just makes it completely difficult to pursue a nursing degree. Too many people I know are dropping out or have been there for more than 2 years. I was better off applying to a 4 year school. They make you take unnecessary classes for the nursing degree which aren't required at any other college across the country, this prolongs your stay, and if you mess up and get below a C just say goodbye. Any bad grade you get won't get replaced by the new grade if you take the class over. Biology classes are split into two for lecture and lab meaning you have to pay double the price. Many professors in the medical department are very condescending , they hear about you pursuing nursing (which 80% of their students are) and they make it their goal to be spiteful and to discourage you on your journey. Professors, Dr. Philip Costa and Dr. Rosa Ronquillo were by far the BEST professors ever!! Also, im unsure why but most of the English professors in this college are depressed. One of my english teachers made us sit while he read a chapter out of a book he wrote about his personal life and it was so depressing. I'm now going on 3 years here and still haven't graduated, which is pushing me to believe that I should transfer to a 4 year instead that doesn't require all this bs, a school where I can actually attend their nursing program. Although my advisor is wonderful , she has withheld information from me before regarding the classes I needed to take in order to get my degree which prolonged my stay. This leads to my other issue I have with this school, if you don't enroll in high demand courses before a certain time you will not be able to get into any of their classes even if you apply weeks or even a month before the classes starting date. My advisor knows this information so her informing me last minute about classes I need to take is very frustrating . As for other advisors, I have never heard anything good about them. My best friends advisor put him in the wrong major , which he then had to do an additional 2 years. Another classmate (also pursing nursing) told me her advisor told her to just drop out instead of supporting her (she eventually dropped out). I've seen so many of my smartest most intelligent classmates cry over the course of two years because of the stress and classes. I don't give up so easily but if I did I would've been dropped out. I think anyones experience here would be much better than mine and faster if pursuing an easier major with less advanced classes like liberal arts or something. The graduation rate is 24%-30%. If you consider going here for nursing, please consider looking elsewhere. Hope you the best!

I say this because class time hours are over extended to increase funding for faculty pay. There is no reason why 1 class should be 4 hours long where 2 of the hours the professor talks about soccer . Students do not realize how much they are spending at a Community College because they are so focused on their course work. It is more affordable and time effective for students to attend a university. Lets not talk about the IT department. I was having trouble retrieving an unofficial transcript. Brandon was the person assisting me. I was becoming frustrated with the error messages that I was receiving. He began laughing say, "well I didnt have trouble". I told him, "i'm glad you find laughter in my stress". Very unprofessional and useless. Do not spend your funds here.

This review is for the DMS program. I went to the Manhattan campus 9-3PM, and had Dr. Ayub as my…read moreinstructor. If you are reading this, you are most likely debating on which school to attend. I implore you to read my review in its entirety; I believe I'll make some really good points and convince you to consider this school. Your goal should be attending an accredited school that will give you the paperwork (certificate) you need in order to take the registry exam, and that is it. It's not about "the best of the best" school, or the one with the top accreditation. All you should be caring about is the school that is going to get you to the point that matters, which is the registry exam, and a school that will provide appropriate clinical rotations. Look no further, this school has everything (except good machines, more on that later). Firstly, Dr. Nand is the president and owner of this establishment. He maintains the Council on Occupational Education, which is an accreditation accepted by the ARDMS. He also has plentiful connections with almost all hospitals, and can get you into the really good hospitals for your clinical rotations (i.e. NY-Pres Columbia). He's also the SWEETEST man alive, and is genuine for your well being. He is there to help, he wants you to do well. Other schools have accreditation in CAAHEP, which is a well known accreditation. But be warned, schools with this type of accreditation have tuition fees of $65K+. Can you afford that? I chose NYMedCareerTrainingCntr for many reason, and it was the cost of the school that was the most appealing, to be honest. When I attended, the full program cost me $29K. This fee may increase due to economy-related issues and rent/insurance costs, etc. But that is a big plus. They also have payment plans. Tuition includes your uniform, and textbooks. Did you hear me?? TUITION INCLUDES YOUR UNIFORM AND TEXTBOOKS!! All other schools make you pay for your textbooks separate (and the uniform as well), and these books are $200 each. You are saving A LOT of money. Please note, you will have to pay your tuition in full before you start your clinical rotations. --Edit: I apparently ran out of space because I rambled. If anyone has a question regarding this school, I'm more than happy to share my experience. just message me-- I'll continue my review but make it ultra condensed since there is a word limit here. Now, a BIG plus... when you finally get to clinicals and have keep to a log of what you scanned, all you have to do it write the date, time, and a one-word description on the type of scans you did. THAT'S IT! Many other schools will force you to write a full description of each patient you see and/or need proof of this. Many school will require you to scan a certain amount of arteries/veins in order to graduate. You might think that's actually a good thing. No it's not. Because in the real world, when you start your clinicals, you may not get to see patients for arteries/veins. You may not get to see liver transplants. It depends on your site. You want the school to delay your graduation because you didn't see enough echo, head, or TCD? Complete your sheet, send them it, call it a day. I wish the school clarified how to have your CV signed, which is paperwork required to take the ARDMS. If you want to take your registry in vascular, you'll have to have a tech licensed in RVT to sign your CV... so this means, don't pick a clinical site that focuses on pediatric if your goal is to get an RVT because the likelihood of the technicians there that have and RVT are slim, and you will not be able to take your RVT registry due to the missing signature for a licensed tech... so be mindful of the sites you choose. Some negatives with this school: Machines are garbage, and there was a lot of cheating going on with no repercussion for these students. I was outraged by this. Sangay, the man responsible for finding you a clinical site, moves at the pace of snails. So you'll have to stay on top of him. There is no echo in this school :( And yes, I graduated this great school, was prepared enough to earn my ARDMS in abdomen, and I now work in a hospital. Dr. Ayub, if you're reading this, YOU ARE THE BEST!!! I'll always remember you! Wishing you and Dr. Nand, the best of health.
