Very open friendly and welcoming wish I could go here forever

Food is expensive, staff are friendly, teachers are great, level of education is comparable to larger colleges and universities except you have less people in your class and pay a lot less for it. You get you what you put in, just like everything in life.

People drop out a lot because they're just out of highschool. If you actually have any investment in your learning, this is a fantastic place to be.

If you are considering going into the nursing profession I would not advice going here. Teachers are unorganized and all on power trips. Worst experience of my life!

Don’t go here!!

Not a good place to get your nursing degree. Teachers didn't care. One even told me straight to my face I shouldn't be a nurse. I ended up going somewhere else and am loving it.
Overall 1.6
disorganized, programs are already saturated in the workplace, and most teachers are either ditsy or dont give a damn!

Cranbrook is a very small town, that is seriously behind the times. The nursing program which i am in, is nothing great. The instructor are not the best.
