Nursing Programs – Student Testimonials

[00:00:00] Diana (Nursing Student): The St. Augustine program has been very flexible. I am a mother, I’m a wife, I’m a grandmother, and I still have a couple of teenagers at home, so there’s lots going on, and I work a full-time job as a registered nurse.

[00:00:15] Ashleigh (Nursing Student): I like that I have freedom. Still kind of have that, like, work-life quality balance.

[00:00:20] Susan (Nursing Student): As an older student, I like that flexibility. If I didn’t have that, other programs wouldn’t allow me to do that, and I can… It’s something now that I could actually finish my degree.

[00:00:28] Melody (Nursing Student): What I enjoyed most about the program was just, like, more of the one-on-one feel of the university.

[00:00:35] Susan (Nursing Student): And our professors, you can reach out. They’re always available by email or phone to, to reach out with any questions.

[00:00:40] Ashleigh (Nursing Student): I would recommend this university. I’ve been very happy so far.

[00:00:43] Melody (Nursing Student): I think the main reason for myself has been that, you know, personalized experience you get with the University of St. Augustine, being able to reach out and email the professors and having that positive feedback within just, like, that day. And even offering their phone number to you, being able to speak with them on the phone, which was really amazing.

[00:01:03] Oksana (Nursing Student): When I had trouble, when I had, um, questions, issues, I just emailed. I called sometimes. Just you feel welcome in here.

[00:01:11] Melody (Nursing Student): The team actually helped me find placement. We have a separate clinical placement team here, so they were really helpful in finding placement for me.

[00:01:19] Melody (Nursing Student): One thing that I also looked for was an opportunity, like, for the intensives. That one-on-one experience with having hands-on to do, like, exams prior to going into clinicals. All of that was really important to me.

[00:01:31] Oksana (Nursing Student): It’s great that we have opportunity to practice. To practice to sit with people, with mannequins.

[00:01:36] Melody (Nursing Student): Just gives you what you need to kind of go into the room and just kind of feel at ease and ready to go and hit the floor running.

[00:01:42] Susan (Nursing Student): All of a sudden, like, after doing a pelvic, it, it feels like, “Wow, I’m a nurse practitioner. I’m gonna be one soon.” It was really a rush. I definitely love the finally being on the other side of, from being a nurse for so many years, to be on the other side is, to feel more like a provider.

[00:01:57] Diana (Nursing Student): I would definitely recommend St. Augustine. I’ve had a great experience.

[00:02:01] Susan (Nursing Student): Well, this is the best thing I’ve ever done, I would say.
