It is a great school. to go if you need an affordable place, a great learning environment and…read moreespecially if you want to be ready for NCLEX.

My experience with this school has been extremely stressful and disappointing. I am writing this…read morereview because I wish I had known these things before enrolling. During the admission process, the school is very nice and makes everything sound good and easy. But after you enroll, my experience has been very different. There are so many changes to schedules, testing, wording, and requirements, sometimes with very little notice. This school is NOT fully remote. Every semester you have to travel to Florida to take your final exams in person. For students who live out of state, this can be extremely stressful. At other schools, when finals are coming, you can stay home, focus on studying, and prepare for your exams. Here, you are dealing with clinicals, traveling away from home, and studying for finals at the same time. The last-minute changes are another major problem for me. Students have jobs, families, and other responsibilities. We cannot always change our plans at the last minute because the school changes a testing date or schedule. It feels like the school makes changes based on what works for them without considering how those changes affect students. Another issue is the way things are worded or renamed. Requirements can be called different things over time, which makes it confusing for students to understand what is actually required. For example, what was referred to as an exit exam is now called an Academic Quiz. Students should make sure they understand exactly what these requirements mean and what is required for graduation. The financial process is also something students should be very careful about. In my experience, I was not clearly told that there was an option to pay tuition out of pocket. Instead, the school proceeded with loan paperwork and asked students to sign it. Some students may be able to pay for school themselves and may not want to take out a loan. I believe students should be clearly informed about their payment options before any loan paperwork is completed or signed. Please read every financial document carefully before signing anything. Make sure you understand whether you are agreeing to a student loan and how much you will be responsible for paying back. Honestly, at times this program has felt more like a punishment than a nursing program. The combination of traveling to Florida, clinicals, in-person finals, last-minute changes, testing, and stress can be overwhelming. It can also feel very difficult to change your situation once you are already enrolled and have invested your time and money. I also feel that the school is more focused on making money than supporting students. That is my personal experience, and I think future students should know what they may be getting into before making a commitment. If you are from California, make sure you independently check the California Board of Registered Nursing requirements before enrolling in an out-of-state program. Do not assume that everything will meet California requirements just because the school accepts students from California. My advice is to think very carefully before enrolling. Do your own research, ask many questions, and get important information in writing. Do not rely only on what you are told during the admission process. For me, this experience has been extremely stressful, and I would not recommend this school based on my experience.

I could be a smart aleck and write a review of my home's living room, or one of the study tables at…read moreBorders, since this is how said "school" feels. Like a lot of people, I was unemployed during the Great Recession. I received some correspondence that to continue getting benefits I had to enroll in a school. Based on recommendations from friends in the industry, I had another school in mind and I mentioned such to my unemployment coordinator. They seemed to drag their feet on my choice, instead leaning and emphasizing on New Horizons. So I went, sat through their sales presentation and started.. Their concept is "Mentored Learning" - a fancy way to say "Self Study". I was given a book (very plain and lacking in examples), headphones and sat in a room where the person sitting next to me was taking a completely different course. Trying to get assistance from said "mentor" was an excercise in pulling teeth. I started working again about a month after starting said "classes" and got my first certification mostly through studying from home with the book I bought at Borders. While I'm able to do the classes online from home because of work, I still have to attend in person do the practice tests. I am still going through the program to finish the certifications, and was told by the person who signed me up to "just memorize the practice exams and that way pass the test". Even though I'm employed, I have to finish the program. Oh, and again I had to buy my own books to have some hope of passing the test. I have gone through three different student services / admissions directors while taking the program in a timespan of a year. The guy who signed me up - an "Account Executive" when I started is currently the lead. The "classroom" is a freezer where you can even hear the very loud conversations in the student lounge. The promised actual practice session where you actually get to put together a computer or do system work - well I've only had two, making the drive out here not worth it. Since it shares floor space with another "technical school", the bathroom is a LONG walk away. Oh, and their website is a dot com, not a dot edu (as most schools). I at least learned that :) This is one place I certainly would not recommend!

I don't have anything positive to say about this school. New Horizons is a "mentor" learning…read moreschool. Which is BS for there are no real teachers here! They provide you with videos and books and tell you good luck. The mentors at New Horizons are just guys who got certified and help you out if you have questions. This place is a rip off! You'll get certified and walk away not knowing hardly anything. No hands-on at all! I would not recommend New Horizons to anyone! Even the job placement at the Miami location is a joke! The girl that works there that places you with jobs rarely placed anyone! If you're thinking about going to this school think twice!

All this school cares about is money, not students. If you think they'll support you through your…read moreeducation, think again. The reality is, they will do everything in their power to dismiss you especially if you're outspoken, advocate for yourself, or simply refuse to be silent. Speaking up for yourself? Trust me, they'll find a way to push you out. Talking to the director? Doesn't matter--they don't care. It's all about tuition dollars. They set students up to fail. Concerns aren't addressed, they're brushed aside. The entire system feels designed to profit off students instead of genuinely educating them. Bottom line: this school is not invested in your success it's invested in your wallet.

Why does this campus seem to be extremely underfunded and mediocre compared to the other locations…read more(Los Angeles, Texas) despite us paying the SAME cost to attend? We pay tens of thousands to attend a school that is lacking in sufficient equipment. Don't let them fool you, the school only consists of 2 floors in the entire office building. With very little study spaces compared to the other campuses. Additionally the "simulation labs" are quite lacking. The arms for IV insertions are falling apart and some are unusable. There are only 3 IV pumps that must be spread out through both floors. Attending open lab is a joke since there isn't enough equipment available. Many things broken or used way past their prime. WHERE is our money going? To add insult to injury, the "student events" we receive are a total joke. For Example, Los Angeles campus received a holiday party that was catered with a Crepe station with many toppings and food to choose from. Our school, where we pay the SAME amount, received cookies to "decorate" but NOT eat because the expiration date on the cookie box was 2020!!!! Are you joking? We pay 100k+ and you can't afford some non expired cookies? Our food option was one box of Walmart cookies that were old and stale. It was an absolute joke and just insulting considering there are people going into debt just to be here. DO BETTER !
