I attended the practical nurse program, I would never recommend this program to anyone. some teachers are decent some are terrible. The practical nurse handbook is full of rules that doesn't make sense, for instance Why can't I wear boots when it's snow outside? The instructors do it. They also have nose rings, lashes, makeup. This school is very money hungry, you should look into lpn schools in Ohio, they are very much affordable, and not as strict. Why do we have to deprive ourself of the things we are used to wearing meanwhile the instructors still get to wear these such things? why is this such a thing. Please do not come to Dorsey college it is multiple social media post called "surviving Dorsey" please do your research! all Dorsey schools are the worst schools ever made

Attended Dorsey College in Madison heights 2021 for their Electrical Technician program. If I could rewind time and not waste my money with this school I would!! They genuinely don’t care about your academic success, but care more about getting that money from you. My teacher legitimately sat around and just chatted and joked with the class. We left 3/4 hours early every day even though it’s suppose to be a 5 hour course every day. They only had one teacher that was ONLY on his 3rd year of being electrical APPRENTICE!! How come they have a person with barely any experience be teaching a class. The other teachers they had came and go quickly. One lasted about two weeks before quitting and taught us nothing. One day we showed up to school and sat outside the classroom door for an hour because he never showed up and no one informed us. A kid had a seizure in the school parking lot and got rushed to the ER. They told him to come to the class the next day or he flunks the class and had to wait half a year before being able to take the class again because they have no teachers available to teach that class at the time. He attended the class still and only person that showed up was him and the teacher. They sat around and just chatted about random stuff. Teacher said he shouldn’t of had to come in or the student because there wasn’t a reason to have class that day. HUGE waste of money. !!!! I mean it, please don’t waste your time or your money going here. On the job training for electrical is way better and usually pays for your schooling!!!!!. This schools a joke.

If u would leave a negative star I would. Dorsey has been a pain in my behind from the moment I signed them contracts giving them my money out of pocket. I did the PN program graduated and walked across the stage yet I am still not allowed to take my NCLEX. I have been done with this school a year and a half and in debt still with this school. I’m not paying them a penny until I get my ATT. They really need to be such down. Unprofessional, never can get a hold of anyone, money hungry institution….
