I am shocked and surprised at the negative reviews concerning UHS... I graduated from the LPN program in October of 2016, registered for the required background check and fingerprinting and received my ATT, AUTHORIZATION TO TEST in November. However, I did not test when I should have, as in IMMEDIATELY, family, pets, illness, etc...I allowed so much time to pass from having completed the program and graduated, I was convinced I could not pass the NCLEX. My classmates, instructors, the Director of Nursing and OWNER OF SCHOOL all stayed in constant contact with me, assuring me I should and could take the exam. Having been in the company of these people for 18 plus months, they were familiar with my strengths and weaknesses...anxiety. I was invited to return to school and attend the current review class and at no charge to me. I was also invited to come and utilize the school library, (study materials) and computers to better prepare me for exam, as it is sometimes difficult to do at home due to distractions. The tuition at UHS is reasonable and if policy hasn't changed, they even allow you to create your own payment plan, one that works best for you! I actually began the LPN program at Northern Virginia Community College, and withdrew due to the ridiculous disrespectful behavior of an instructor and the Director of Nursing's inability to address the issue properly. Also, several of the nursing program professors are quite elderly and infirm... My experience with the faculty at UHS was positive. The instructors are well educated and knowledgeable, as well as friendly, (in good health) but most importantly, mutually respectful! I'd like to comment on the review that mentioned concerns of discrimination...in our class of 25 or so, we had 2/3 Caucasian students, 2/3 Asian students, 2 Hispanic students, 2 students from Nepal, 2/3 African American students, but the majority of us being from the many different countries of Africa. The faculty is as multicultural as the student body and to my knowledge, we had no issues with race or discrimination. We had conflicts from time to time between students and students and staff, but that is not unexpected with such a large group of people balancing 6 to 8 hour school days, work, family, and studying, studying, studying... As Class President, I at no time experienced any type of discrimination or witnessed any such behavior from anyone, students or staff. PS I sat for the NCLEX yesterday and passed...could not have done so, if not for our primary instructor DRILLING into us, the BASE OF KNOWLEDGE needed to sit for and successfully pass this exam. Oh, and you know what they say...you can please some of the people, some of the time and some of the people, NONE OF THE TIME! read more

I am currently enrolled in the 2017 LPN program. And I almost give up on my Maternity class, I miss class for three days. But thank God, just one phone call from Mrs. Cecil( Nursing instructor: BSN RN, MSN ) changed my destiny, "she said to me on the phone if you don't come to class, I will not teach wherever class you go(tough love). So even when I continue the class, I was still begging her to let me quit but she refused to let me doubt myself and stay home and give up. At the end it paid off because I pass my class. FYI I had two more classes to finish the LPN program and I wanted to just give up. Thank God for Mrs. Cecil because she saw something great in me and believed in me when I couldn't believe in myself. Ultimate Health School located in Manassas, Va is a very good school and they truly care about the success of their student. They allowed me to continue enrolled in classes when I was behind with payments(they have a payment plan)because they put the achievement of their student first before money. Mrs. Cecil is really passionate about Nursing and treat everyone as equal and a family.P.S please remember What causes ICP(intracranial pressure) or else she will slap you#classjoke. read more

My name is Rosaline K, I graduated from Ultimate Health School in 2007 as my class valedictorian and I am for ever grateful to be trained in this institution. The teachers were qualified, patient, and it was all about student success. If you are committed and put in the time in your studies, there's no way you can't succeed. The NCEX passing rate of this school is relatively very high, compared to other schools in Virginia, and this information can be confirmed with Virginia Board of Nursing. I am still benefiting from skills and techniques I learned from Ultimate Health School. I am quite shocked with some of the negative reviews on this page, because my experience was completely opposite. I have referred a number of people to this school, the last one graduated last year, they're all working as Licensed Practical Nurses now and all have good things to say about the school. Ultimate Health School is the best private school to start your nursing career in Virginia in my opinion. read more

My name is Terrance F. Im a recent graduate of ultimate Health School and current LPN. upon graduating i was already equipped with all the skills needed to pass the NCLEX and more. I completed the one year program they provide. In that time period I became a better person as well as a knowledgeable and work ready nurse with insight as well as a multitude of work place experiences through direct experience and indirectly based on mistakes of my peers and instructors. This is an accelerated program so you have to stay on top of your studies. you cannot expect good test scores and results if you do not put in the time and effort required to learn the materials and concepts. overall I give this institution 5 stars based on real world experiences and caring instructors. Remember this is not high school. If you go to class pay attention and study others will see that your serious and not there for fun. You will receive the help you need within reasonable limits. read more

Not sure if other ppl are talking about the SAME program because this school is awesome. You can't expect to pay all your money, not study, and think the school will pass you. That makes NO sense. They won't lose their accreditation over bad students. I've learned so much from my instructors. I'm not going to lie, it's tough...BUT what do you expect? This is nursing school!! I'm almost to the end of my program and I honestly already feel confident to take my NCLEX. The instructors seriously try to help you in every way to understand the concepts and pass each test. There are endless resources given, practice questions, books to study from. The rest is basically up to you. Like I said, I'm a real student in the program. Feel free to contact me with questions. read more

Ultimate Health School has been quite beneficial to the beginning of my health career as a CNA. My instructors, Ms. Donna and Ms Beth has been a God-send! Both ladies show a sincere interest in their students, lends support and guidance to those who need it. They are highly respected and dedicated in the field and in the classroom. Their teaching is spot on! Ms Donna is a tough cookie but she means well, want to see you to excel, and PASS! Her heart is in it and it definitely shows! Thank you Ultimate Health School (Ms Beth and Ms. Donna) for helping to build such a strong foundation in which I will take with me as I continue my career in Healthcare. I look forward to studying again with you when I take on LPN classes. read more

I transferred from ECPI (Manassas, VA Campus). The difference in teaching is like night and day! I withdrew from Fundamentals of Nursing at ECPI because they were not teaching at all. ECPI would cover 7 chapters in 4 hours and expect you to learn the material. I transferred into Fundamentals at Ultimate Heath and have learned so much!! They go over the material and prepare you to become a nurse. So far we have had 3 weeks of learning nursing assessments, which is a majority of what nurses do. ECPI spent maybe an hour teaching it. I highly recommend Ultimate Health School and the fees are lower than ECPI. You will get more value for your money here. Good Luck! read more

Ultimate is a great school, they really do give you a quality nursing education. I graduated in June and passed my NCLEX on the first try and got a great job as nurse. Nursing school is very challenging and you have to put in extra study time to pass the courses. Almost everyone in my cohort passed the exit exams with good grades and the ones who took NCLEX passed. If you fail a class they will give you another opportunity to retake the class, they don't kick you out of the program like most schools do. They also help with job placement after you graduate. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone who is ready to start their nursing career. read more

I recently finished my LPN course at Ultimate Health school. There were times when I was stressed about the curriculum, but with perseverance we all made it! It wouldn't be a nursing school if you didn't go thru all the tensions. I couldn't have finish without success if it wasn't for my teachers who pushed us and always encouraged us to go for our goal! Whenever I needed help they always had the time to answer my questions until I fully understood the subject. All the staff at Ultimate is very caring. They want everybody to succeed and go for our dream which is to be a nurse! Thank you again Ultimate for making my dream come true! read more

The diversity of the students and the diversity of the classes offered there create an environment that will prepare student for real life. This school has really been a blessing. read more

I don't know where to start, but you will be wasting your time and money in this school. They have unqualified teachers, mostly decisions done solely by the owner, favoritism and discrimination is very high. Rules and regulations are bent by the staff, they are money making institute. Even if you go there, you will not learn anything. I really do not know why VA Board of Nursing or VA board of Education didn't suspend the licence of this so called "school" . My worst experience in the states. read more
