Marsha Fuerst School of Nursing

I had a great experience touring Marsha Fuerst School of Nursing. The staff was welcoming, informative, and genuinely cared about helping students succeed. They answered all my questions, explained the programs clearly, and made the whole process feel smooth and stress-free. The campus is clean, organized, and feels very student-focused!!

One of the best schools for nursing. Campus is clean, organized, easy access, spacious, and new. I would recommend this school for anyone who commutes to Riverside or lives here. A home away from home. :)

Hello, my name is Mariah, and I was part of Cohort 2 at the Riverside location. I'm sharing my experience to help others make a more informed decision about this program.

If I had known that this nursing program involved classes that ended as late as 8 PM, I would have never enrolled. As a mom with other responsibilities, and with no family or friends available to help with childcare, this schedule was simply unmanageable. I had enrolled in Cohort 3 and worked very hard to make it through Semester 2. I passed the first semester, including English, Psychology, An

After investing nearly two years in the Marsha Fuerst School of Nursing program, my experience left me with serious concerns about the curriculum, testing standards, and how student issues are handled. The program frequently speaks about “success,” but after my experience there I found myself questioning whose success was actually being served. In my experience, the curriculum felt poorly structured and relied heavily on self-navigation rather than consistent instructional support. Academic evaluation practices also appeared to lack transparency and consistency. During my time in the program, I was asked to attend a meeting related to clinical expectations where I was presented with documentation to sign acknowledging those expectations. From my perspective, no educational instruction w
