5 /5 Amara Okoroafor: I cannot say why there arent more positive reviews of the nursing school here at the University of Miami but let me be clear that this place will challenge you as most quality nursing programs do. As a graduate of both the ABSN program and the full-time Family NP program, I learned immensely and thoroughly. This is not to say that there arent some organizational issues that you may face during your time. This is not to say that some professors do not read from their PPT but the content, study aids, and structure there will prepare you for any of the boards. The HESIs given in the program had me running scared but at the end of the day, if you learn the material (not just memorize) you will do just fine on them. I actually had my HESIs bump my grades rather than hurt them.
You will need to be proactive with the material given but the professors are there to assist you in your goals and support as needed. This is NOT a cakewalk, there will be many times you ask yourself why you put yourself through the wringer but as you build a foundation and understanding, the confidence you gain in your clinical skills and judgement is well worth the price.
