Capella School of Nursing and Health Sciences Reviews

Everything negative you've read or heard is 100% true. I was convinced this would be tailored to my schedule (I'm a hit-the-ground, running type and work way ahead), as well as more affordable than your traditional school. I had reached enough loans from my RN program, so I really didn't want to accumulate more school debt, it was too overwhelming as well as being a single parent. I decided I would pay $2775 out of pocket and that's it, and it gets cheaper if you finish quicker. I finished 2 classes in one week, so I thought I was off to a great start and smooth sailing from here. No, not even close. My coworker praised this program and said she finished her BSN in 3 months but it was so much better than other programs she looked at. I spoke with an enrollment advisor and trust me when I tell you, they sell you the painted picture of how perfect it will fit into your life.

I graduated in 2014 with my PhD in Nursing Education. It was a tough program, but if you put your mind to it and make specific plans as to how to accomplish what is needed, it goes well. I would not have changed anything about my education from Capella.

Completed my MSN through Capella with only a few minor aggravations. When I started looking for a DNP program Capella offered a 10,000 scholarship that made other programs look more expensive. Don't fall for it! Many hidden costs and the quality is TERRIBLE. You will receive excellent service from your advisor in the beginning but once you are in too deep to transfer; you'll never be able to reach them. The process they create for obtaining a DNP defies ALL other DNP programs. This is not a DNP quality program; I have summited numerous papers and received 100's all almost all of them.

I have been a nurse for 33 years and was terrified when I even thought about returning to school. Capella was the best choice for me after researching multiple universities and speaking to many nurses. I have never regretted my choice. Capella is an excellent school! I can’t say enough good things about it. My recruiter Jeff ** instantly put my mind at ease. I am almost finished my degree and I must say it has been one of the best experiences of my life.

I reached out to this school several years ago concerning one of their online programs. I never took one class with this school. I do not have a degree with this school yet I have 41k bill that has now gone to a collection agency and is on my credit report showing as a default. This school has violated my rights and is trying to take advantage of me now and clearly then. Can someone please help me!

My experience with Capella School of Nursing and Health Sciences has been excellent and has gone very smoothly. Online platform is fairly easy, courses are extremely helpful. The coursework is demanding but doable. I have little to no issues and I am progressing very well. These courses give me the flexibility I need due to the fact I work full time. I am able to go online in the evening and completed my curriculum in a timely fashion. I would recommend this program. It is everything that I expected, except I dislike paying for it.

After review of my high school transcripts. I had to also get financial assistance and grants prior to the approval of the nursing program. Enrollment wasn't black or white. There were a lot of details in-between. The online nursing website offers many features that you can access at your fingertips. Rest of test, profile, credits, online textbooks, and I trust the security portion of the website. However, there are glitches in the system that causes delay and a lot of time management and rework. Also the easiness of using the online nursing program online. Maybe have an online chat available for assistance when needed and include an online survey that student can utilize and give feedback.

I liked the speed at which I could do my class on my own time and at my own pace. I feel as though I learn more. As long as the work got completed it was fine. If I had questions or issues it was a bit more of an issue getting my answers when needed. I did have a short wait to get them. But I did get a couple of people that were in my class that could assist with questions. That was nice… Made a few friends that way too. Plus, enrollment was easy, quick and simple. I think it would be easy for anyone to do what I did. Online platforms will help many people in the future where they don’t have to physically be at a college or campus because they have a job and family to care for.

It’s a great school to do online from home or from anywhere. Great program. Easy to do and very convenient on times I can do my classes and lots of online choices to choose from. Plus, it’s very easy to engage in and use the online platform and easy to follow the instructions and tools that they provide.

I like that you can take the courses online. They are less chaotic as would be in a physical classroom. You can have one on one time with your teacher if needed. The process is fairly easy. You have a counselor and your courses are chosen for you as you move along and that makes things a lil easier and less confusing. There's no guessing as to what classes to take or in which order. I pretty much am happy with it as it is currently. It is very easy to work through your classes and if there are problems you have teachers and a counselor that can help you come to a positive conclusion/outcome.
