Firstly, I must start off by saying that ANHO is an excellent fully accredited nursing school if…read moreyou want to complete your RN education.
I attended ANHO in 2018 and graduated with my Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) in 2021 (I failed Integration so had to stay on an extra semester ; it wasn't ANHO's fault I failed [I inadvertently 'took my eyes off the prize' and suffered the consequences)! However, retaking Integration allowed me to read deeper (I read through every single page of that thick Saunders book; it was actually an enjoyable read)!
Once I passed Integration, I took the NCLEX and passed first time around with 60 questions (I can honestly say without a shadow of doubt ANHO fully prepared me for the NCLEX)!
This degree WILL NOT be presented to you until you have EARNED it! If you're looking for a 'walk in the park' RN programme; unfortunately, this is not the course/school for you.
The prerequisite(s) for this ADN programme is you must have a teachable spirit and a mindset to study. I can assure you there will be days when you don't feel like studying, however, if your end goal is to graduate with your RN education; I personally recommend you have a meeting with yourself and encourage yourself to study for success! Don't worry you'll have some free days, however, not many (well I didn't, as I was self funding and couldn't afford to fail, therefore, I was always studying [trust me the time will fly by whilst you're on this course]).
Before you sign up for the ADN programme ensure that you really want to be an RN for yourself and nobody else; and have the mindset to want to study. If you're not planning on studying, DO NOT take this course and waste your money and/or time; seriously.
Pre-reading before your lectures is the best way to tackle this course and to be successful. Then during the actual lecture you'll be able to ask questions, etc., and you'll gain a lot out of the teaching/lecture.
ALL teachers at this school and who taught me were great and very professional, knowledgeable and extremely helpful; believe it or not they want you to pass, however, you have to do your bit if you really want to graduate with an RN education. ANHO will give you an excellent foundation and ALL the tools you need to graduate, however, you MUST do your part to be successful; you MUST study to achieve that ADN.
I would like to take this time to thank ALL of my lecturers: Dr. B. (Pharm), Miss P. (Psych), Miss K. (Integration) and Miss K. (OB/Peds), Mr. Parker and ALL of the Admin. Staff (Miss Angela, Miss Judi and Dean Asser). To the rest of the staff at ANHO that I haven't named, please don't blame my heart, blame my mind, please forgive me.
I'm personally thanking ALL the staff/teaching personnel at ANHO for making my time/experience in nursing school a joyful and memorable time in my life. Continue doing what you guys to best (teaching and producing EXCELLENT NURSES); you ALL deserve a round of applause!
