In 2015, I became a student in the Medical Admin Assistant program. My educators were awesome and…read morelargely a reason I decided to pursue my degree in Healthcare Administration. Upon completion of my Associates degree, I enrolled in the BA program. Unfortunately, I had to withdraw due to moving abroad with the military and my educators unwilling to accommodate the time zones. Years later, I returned to Tucson with a renewed sense of purpose in healthcare and of course, as an alumni, chose PMI for their Nursing program. I was disappointed at how unprofessional the institution had become. I was disappointed to learn the credits I earned from my MAA and HCA degree would not be honored in any capacity towards the Nursing program. Still determined, I attended the Kaplan test review. I missed by 1 A&P question. Went back and passed! Except all of a sudden, I didn't? I received two different printed results from my test. One with a passing grade, another with an unsatisfactory one. I requested the discrepancy be reviewed because how is it possible to have a passing and failing score? The response from a young lady, who did not serve as the testing coordinator, was not equipped to provide any guidance. "That's weird. Must have been a glitch in the system. Oh well. You can retest in 6 months" she casually retorted. As if Nursing school was some decision made lightly. Feeling defeated and frustrated, I followed up with an advisor who could not explain the error. I asked if I could retest to confirm my passing grade but was rejected and told to come back in 6 months where I could expect to pay again to retake the Kaplan. As a returning Alumni, I had hoped for a more positive response with PMI. After seeing the reviews since I graduated, there is a clear and evident decline in how this institution operates now. I can only assume the "glitch in the system" was a warning of what I could expect by continuing my education here. ** Of note: PMIs Nursing curriculum only satisfies Arizona's Board of Nursing requirements. If you plan to be a nursing in any other state, you will likely not meet reciprocity requirements. This is particularly concerning for students with military commitments to pay for an education they may or may not be able to utilize in the event they are tasked with relocation orders. Please be advised and research your state beforehand. From PMI's website--"*This is an on-ground program available to residents of Arizona and is approved for licensure by the Arizona State Board of Nursing. After licensure is obtained in AZ, transfer of state licensure may be available via state reciprocity compacts."

This school is just another money grab scam like many others. It truly was an eye opener, and utter disappointment for me.

They will lie to you about your financial aid & not give you all your funds - I'm not the only…read morestudent they do this to. They also have your funds arrive at different dates and are always late like about three weeks late getting to you - they steal some of your financial aid. So if you are ok with that, go to this school if not, I would avoid it. It's incredibly difficult to even get a response but reasons and dates and amounts constantly change with financial aid. They should have a class action suit against them with all the students they have stolen w money from.

She literally had me restart the whole process 2 times, and even after all that still couldn't get it right. She would say everything is 100% done, then ignore me for a 2-3 weeks only to come back and say we had to do more things, things that if she did her job, where all avoidable. I almost went into debt for almost 30k, and 2 years of school with this. They couldn't get it right before they had my money, I can only imagine how they would do after I was locked in for 30k. The one saving grace was Judy in Tucson. She was literally the only person in Tucson that tried to help and even called me on her own personal phone and personal time. Thank you for trying Judy.

My time at Carrington was very unpleasant.

I endured this, however. I completed my studies at Carrington and went on to deal with a very difficult externship. I was so excited to graduate and walk across the stage. When that day came, I found myself in the hospital after a horrible accident. I reached out to the staff at Carrington and asked them if I could please be given the opportunity to participate in a later graduation ceremony, so I could still walk across the stage and celebrate all the hard work I had put in and endured. I was told that I would hear from Kathy Bailey about participating in the next graduation ceremony. I never heard from her. It has been 10 months. Ive already accepted the fact that I will not be getting a graduation. The robes that I purchased with my own hard earned money are collecting dust and will never be worn. This is my own experience at carrington. I strongly encourage any student seeking to further their education to look elsewhere. Don't waste your time and your energy.

When I pointed this out to the gentlemen to understand what exactly I needed to do, he became very aggressive and firmly stated,"I am not going to give you what you want here." When I asked to speak to a supervisor he said he was not going to give me that either. When I asked for a supervisor's name, again, he said he would not give me that. Then he threatened to call campus police on me. I am consistently treated like a bratty child at all of the campuses, especially by the cashier staff and the testing services staff. It's no surprise that Pima was at risk for losing accreditation. They are not an asset to this community and teach tolerance, well as long as it's the students tolerating their disregard of respect and decency.

As a former student, I want to share my honest review at this school before you enroll. THANK ME…read moreLATER! The tuition has increased significantly this year, reaching around $100,000 to $120,000 or more, which is much higher than at other private schools. The rules frequently change each semester, so what you're told when you join can quickly become outdated every semester, leading to serious financial debt if you don't pass. The environment is toxic, with unprofessional behavior from both faculty and students. Many students experience bullying, and I have witnessed instructors gossiping about other students without any repercussions. If you have a problem, don't expect support from the dean; they often prefer to remove you rather than address the issue. In the labs, we repeatedly used the same needles and had to recap them. When I didn't pass a check-off on the first try, a professor reacted poorly and embarrassed me in front of my classmates, her reason "we only have a few needles to use." Mistakes are part of learning, yet we were not allowed to make them. I would rate the quality of teaching a 2 out of 10, except for the PEDS class, which was excellent thanks to Professor Premo. However, be prepared to read the entire textbook, which is challenging due to the fast-paced program. When you ask for help, they may suggest, use AI instead of helping you, which is quite ridiculous. Lots of topics in the lectures are skipped with some Instructor saying "oh, No need to learn this it's not gonna come out on the exam anyway" but wait until you take the NCLEX which focus on information you don't know! Some students were given unfair advantages, such as private rooms for exams without cameras and extra time. Additionally, regarding the exams, you won't know which questions you answered incorrectly, making grades feel arbitrary and manipulable (you don't know exactly what questions you missed) don't forget this is all about business. This can result in you having to retake expensive classes or not passing at all. While I can't speak for the Phoenix branch, the Tucson branch has poor management and an overall unsatisfactory atmosphere. Overall, this branch appears to operate more as a business focused on profit rather than on supporting student success. It can feel like a trap once you're in. The school's condition is disappointing, especially considering the high tuition, and interactions with the Senior Dean were particularly rude and unprofessional toward both students and faculty. Good luck if you decide to attend!
