I was a student at Dorsey’s Madison Heights Campus from 2023 through May of 2024. I graduated in August of 2024 and passed State Boards on my first time testing. Mrs. Carmen Ritchett was an excellent teacher and made sure that understanding theory and state board was a key factor in the program. Unfortunately my class did not experience the teaching styles of other instructors do to poor teacher excess ability on the schools part but she did encourage us that learning from other instructors was a good thing and very helpful for us. Mrs. Carmen ran multiple classes and still imparted knowledge and skills to her students. Glad I experienced her. She was a very important part of me graduating with high numbers and passing State Boards.

This school was great with working with working moms. The schedules were great, the teachers had positive personalities, financial aid had my best interest and went above and beyond to get me help. The DON was fair. My whole class graduated! (PN Cohort 17)! This school is not out to fail you. They equipped us for success. Oh and Capstone was great! Trust the process. I passed on my first try. I could do a commercial about the experience I had.
