I really like all my professor in my classes. They all want to see you pass and be successful throughout your nursing school experience.

Great professors, but some gave too much work.

New President is amazing. Already making some great changes. Seems to be an advocate for the students and our learning. I am excited to go back after the summer and see even more changes. I finally feel like I can learn in a caring environment. Overall everyone seems to be happier. Helene Fuld needed this!!

I hate this school.
Overall 1
This school is unprofessional and unorganized. Please don't come here. The professors love to fail students for no reason and they believe whatever the Respondus computer system says to them. The computer system will claim you cheated even though you didn't and the professor will still fail you. You've been warned!

This school is a massive disappointment. With the exception of maybe a handful of professors I've had, most of the faculty here are SO TOXIC. It will be a miracle if you have any confidence left coming out of this place. All nursing students have been around the block and are strong, but this school will seriously test you in the worst way.

Most (not all) faculty are rude and have a superiority complex. They abuse their role as educator and speak to you in a condescending manner. I offered feedback on the lack of communication/information to the clinical coordinator, who in turn said, "I don't have to see things from your point of view." I had to use therapeutic communication on her.

This is a self taught environment
Overall 1.9
This is by far the worst school ever . They really don't care about the actual students body just your dollars. if you have choices/options of where to attend, make your decision wisely. DO NOT attend HF if you don't have to. But if you must attend HF stay focus in your books , its a lot of self thought the prof don't teach you anything. Good luck

Very disorganized! You would think this was the first Year although program was founded in 1945!!!!!!
