This program will sure help you pass the test, but so will any other college that is not as extremely overpriced. There are many unnecessary, annoying classes and assignments and teachers have very poor teaching skills. They are nurses, not real teachers. Would not recommend. Save your money, time, and metal health, get your degree elsewhere.
Allen College offers online courses that allow people to work while continuing their education. The instructors are helpful and always available to answer questions.
Allen College is a great place to complete your education. Most all of the professors that I have had have been really good about communicating as well as setting up office hours if any questions arise.
They continually add extra fees such as Typhon or security systems that they take down eventually because no one knows how to run them. The whole experience seemed like the staff could care less about their students and were insanely unorganized. Don't call the school between 11:30 and 1:00 pm because no one will answer. There's better and cheaper schools in the Iowa area.
Allen is a small nursing school, but the professors are all dedicated to helping their students succeed.
I think that Allen has some good teachers that know how to set the students up for success in the future. The clinicals are hard to get a lot of different experience out because the bigger problems or situations go to the bigger hospitals. The small class sizes helps you to create good relationships with the students as well as the teachers. This is good because then you can ask them questions as well as use them as references on resumes. There isn't a cafeteria which does suck. There are a few local fast food places in walking distances.
A difficult workload and study options are available for certain classes. Generally the classes that are more difficult on average will offer special study options.
The courses are difficult and need major effort to get good grades but good study habits will definitely help. Yes, variety of classes offered and class size varies.
They offer alumni networks and encourage students to come back and visit after they get done with college.
I live off campus with three roommates to save money from the expensive dorms they offer.
Do not pay attention much with the social atmosphere on campus involving Greek housing.
Just starting up at this college
There are no athletics at my school for Allen College. It is a private college for students looking to go into a health field.
Allen College is somewhere I feel safe and healthy.
Most students choose to live in Cedar Falls or around the transition area into Waterloo. This provides a safer housing opportunity and the commute between cities isn't a hassle.
Allen has a partnership with the University of Northern Iowa. This partnership and closeness makes the use of their night life and activities very easy and accessible.
Computer access is not necessary but the wireless internet availability is very excellent when using your smart phone in between classes.
