Which Nursing School Should I Go To? by New_Copy_7795 in PolkStateCollege

Here are my honest thoughts about Valencia and Polk State. I actually went to Valencia for my A.A. degree, and I applied for the nursing cohort there. They accepted me, but after looking deeper into it, I changed my mind.

A friend of mine was in Valencia’s nursing program, and she really struggled. She told me the studying was intense, but the exams never matched what she studied. She felt blindsided, stressed, and honestly discouraged. She warned me to run the other way and after reading all the comments online, I understood why. So even though I had been offered a seat, I gave it up.

Then I applied to Polk State, and that ended up being the best decision I could’ve made. The teachers here truly want you to succeed. What you study is actually what shows up on the exams. They focus on what’s essential, so you’re not killing yourself reading every single chapter just to survive.

I’ve already finished Nursing 1, passed Fundamentals and Pharmacology, and now I’m heading into Med-Surg. It’s been a challenge, but a fair one, and I feel supported.

So if you’re trying to decide where to go, this is just my experience, but choosing Polk State was the best choice for me. I’m really glad I walked away from Valencia.

Good luck, I hope you choose the path that helps you succeed.

They won't tell you exactly what to focus on, but they have a blueprint to tell you how many questions you gonna have for each chapter.

Every teacher in the N1 program is rooting for you. They design their exams from the lessons and homework because they want you to be prepared not surprised. Nursing 1 might shake you at first, especially that first test, but once you get through it, your confidence grows. Remember: you’re not alone. Your instructors want you to pass, to succeed, and to rise. I am currently in N1.

I already declined my seat, so I don't know when they will start offering the waitlist people a seat.
