This school has no core values. I had 3 semesters to go to finish. During Pharmacology I was told…read moreby instructor West she "didn't have time to review my exam with me one on one". I dropped Pharmacology and was never reimbursed. I'm still disputing this with AES. I since took a full time job at HCA as phlebotomist. I see my classmates still struggling and failing. Now I hear Fortis tried to make them sign a "non-disclosure" about the school. What a joke. Fortis lost the contract HCA Orange Park and now forcing students to travel ridiculous lengths for clinicals. I speak to nursing students daily that attend other colleges. Fortis teaches the curriculum out of order. Example: scheduling Health Assessment before Fundamentals. Why are we learning how to hear lung sounds in Health Assessment before learning how to use a stethoscope in Fundamentals. Why are you teaching what drugs do in Pharmacology before learning the disease process in Med Surg? These classes should be taught in sync. The HESI entrance exam designed so everyone gets accepted. But has no science questions which is why Fortis includes frequent HESI exams as part of the curriculum. Fortis has to show every student passed the HESI before graduation. I could go on and on but am pursuing my degree with another college. Even though I had to retake some classes it's worth it. Core Values: none of the below Integrity, Student Focused Outcomes, Commitment, Service Excellence, Respect

Meh. Hindsight is 20/20. If I could I would choose a different school for LPN I would. I believe…read moresince the program is new there are a lot of kinks with it. It's a small school so it's a struggle to get time to practice as an LPN. They have more RN students. I'll write more once I graduate- if I graduate. The school hasn't graduated any LPNs yet since the program is so new.

I have to agree with the previous review, and more…read more After waiting 30 minutes for "setup" which consisted of up to 10 individuals walking back and forth talking about personal life, we advised them that we needed to leave in an hour. We were then asked "well do you even want to do this?" We relied, yes we do, we just have a time limit so we will forego our manicure portion of the Groupon. During this time, another student came to the counter complaining about a ticket she was given, "I don't do kids." My friend's daughter, who we brought with us for her first pedicure, was the only child in the establishment. We were finally taken back to the chairs. A very poor pedicure with no foot massage, minimal debridement of of callus surfaces, no buffing, cleaning or shaping of the nails was performed and no cuticle care was performed until I asked specifically (this was meant with eye rolling and a search for the required equipment which was the excuse we were given for the 30 minute "setup"). After a nail painting job my 7 year old son could have done better, I was told, "all done". My sandals were on the floor and no effort was made to hand them to me, much less put them on. I was not offered a drying option despite the fact that my companions were both under the dryers. This is a very similar service to my companion. Interestingly, her daughter, for whom we paid for services, received excellent care and has a pedicure that I envy. Sheila was fantastic with her daughter. Nicole and the tech who did my companion's nails received no supervisor or feedback from any supervisor the entire time we were being serviced. I believe this is required for a teaching institution. Nicole specifically stated she had only been in that school for 5 weeks. This leaves much to be desired if you are planning to attend this institution. In addition, I have a call in to the State Licensing Board to question the supervision requirements for students. I believe you have to have at least a cursory review of the services provided, and I can guarantee that this was not done on anyone in our party. If it had, the childish and laughable pedicures would never have been allowed. I called and spoke the the direction who stated they cannot do refunds, and I would need to request a refund for both Groupons through Groupon. Not a very savvy customer service gesture at all Billie. My recommendation is don't, just don't.
