Honest Review of Fortis Institute - Nashville I attended the nursing program at Fortis Institute in Nashville for two years (2022-2024), and unfortunately, my experience was far from positive. The program lacked strong leadership, effective teaching methods, and adequate student support. The instructors were not helpful, and the student council offered little to no assistance. Despite dedicating two years to the program, I was unable to complete it--along with the majority of my classmates. Out of 40 students, only 2 managed to graduate on time, which speaks volumes about the program's quality and structure. The curriculum was poorly organized, and many students struggled due to inadequate instruction and guidance. Since then, I have transferred to a university to continue my nursing education, and I know several fellow students who also had to transfer. Unfortunately, many of us had to start over or nearly start over in a new nursing program at another college. This has been frustrating, costly, and time-consuming. If you're considering Fortis Institute for nursing, I highly recommend looking at other options. A strong nursing program should set students up for success, but this one felt like a waste of time and money. read more

I am so very proud to be apart of the Fortis Smyrna family. I began my journey as a transplant from the Chicago/Indiana area in December 2017. I fled my home town after being robbed at gun point while at work. I was ordered to the back of the store to die. Upon my arrival here I was determined to live my best life in my new home state free from fear. I observed the old Fortis sign on Windy Hill Rd. I called and was invited to visit the campus. Let me tell you... that was the best phone call I ever made. Within six weeks of my arrival I began my journey at Fortis. I must say that I found the entire campus facility, staff and educators to be outstanding. I enjoyed learning new skillsets and enhancing my previous life experiences and education. I absolutely loved becoming a Student Ambassador supporting our school student leadership and impacting the community as well. I am a recent graduate of this campus. Upon completing my externship on a Wednesday, I began my career that following Monday. As of yesterday, I also successfully passed my NHA certification test. Thanks so much Fortis Smyrna family for assisting me in my major COMEBACK. FORTIS STRONG FORTIS PROUD read more

Fortis College is growing everyday and has become a better school. The instructors are amazing as well as the rest of the staff down to the janitor. I was in the EMS programs for a year. My instructor along with the other EMS instructors (day and night) were always willing to help me, answer all my questions, let me sit in on extra classes, and tutoring was available as well. My class and I became family. Everyone there was for my success as well as theirs. It was a great experience. The instructors have real life experience in the fields they teach. They teach you more than just pages in a book. My instructor taught me to be strong and move forward even when no one else is walking with you and they hold you back. She had passion for what she did and I loved that. The registrar and career services were very friendly and always helped me out with anything I needed. They were spunky and had brilliant ideas for the school. Change can be a good thing. I hope this school continues to grow and the students get as much out of it as I did. read more
