This was my second attempt to fulfill my dream to be a nurse. I failed at another school and lost all my confidence. As soon as I walked into Falcon I felt positive vibes. Instructors encourage you and motivate you, thank you for staying late for tutoring. Thank you Mr. K for teaching me skills in clinicals. I would not have done this without Mrs. Lax. Thank you so much for helping me to get through the nursing program. Thank you Falcon for all you did for me.

The instructors at Falcon Institute of Health and Science really taught me how to be a caring, compassionate nurse. The course content was very informative and the instructors are very knowledgeable. I recommend this school to start a career in nursing.

If I could give 0 starts I would. February 21, 2019 I arrived at Falcon institute in Bethlehem PA. While waiting to take my CNA Exams I was approach by Chrissy, who works at Falcon, that I need to come to her office to pay for the exam. I told her that I already talked to Pearson and that the test has been paid for. She told me to in order to continue to take my exam that I would need to pay Falcon Institute $102 dollars because Manorcare does not want to pay them for me to take my test. The people at falcon then decided to inform the Pearson instructor that I should not be allowed to take the test and asked me to leave the facility. The instructor and I both said to them that I had every right to take the exam. I was then given a false bill with no credentials and no explanation. when signing up with manor care I never signed my name on anything that was legally binding for me to work with them or that If I decided I just wanted to take the exam and go elsewhere that I could not. Falcon illegal tried to put me out of my exam. I have proof attached. Do not trust this particular organization. They are just after your money.

To be honest, most unorganized school i have attended. Please pay attention to the fees being charged for example Room and board and the book fees are outrageous. Clinical so far are a disaster. No communication between the facility, instructors and Falcon. NO SOCIAL DISTANCING AT ALL. We are jammed pack in a classroom with 35+ students with not even 2ft of elbow room. NO ONE WEARS A MASK even with covid starting up again. The school probably has 100+ students and no room for anyone nor parking space. No break area, only 4 bathroom stalls for a bunch of women, not even a working microwave (which theres one to share) Theres never any internet service to do our work. Its honestly a joke. Thats what happens when a school is extremely money hungry and does not care. The lady that owns the school would walk right by you without even saying good morning. Shes rude. Staff here is leaving left and right and i dont blame them. I honestly have not learned much because all lectures are rush and no questions allowed. Please waste your money on an accredited program instead like Penn State which is cheaper, hours are convenient and they at least pay for your nursing supplies. Ask a previous student about their experience and they will tell you the truth. I dont believe these reviews below are real.

This program has been a great experience for me. Thank you Mrs. Frey and Mrs. Chiz for being such awesome instructors. You guys have helped me so much. Thank you Dr. G and Mr Mrich. You guys are the best clinical instructors. I can’t wait to start my journey as a LPN! I hope to return to Falcon if and when they offer an RN program. Thank you again for one of the best years of my life!

First off let me start off by saying I cannot say ENOUGH good things about this program!! I came from one of the top rated RN programs in the Lehigh valley. I ended up reverting programs and to an LPN program specifically this one, because the RN program I was in, was a disaster, I couldn’t pass my exams for the life of me, felt I was paying thousands of dollars to teach myself, it was overall extremely stressful and frustrating, and therefore left the program.s I am SO happy I found falcon. The instructors in this program are beyond amazing. The endless effort they put in day in and day out to help their students succeed is unbelievable. They truly care about their students and WANT to see them succeed, and not set them up for failure! This was the BEST nursing program I had ever been enrolled in, and I wish I would’ve found this program sooner!

If you really looking for a school to learn and built a career this is the best place you need to go. Student at Falcon are well equipped to be successful in taking the NCLEX exam and are well prepared to embrace their new career with confidence and the right skills. Mrs Candice Frey is a great instructor, her teaching method is excellent. She uses real life examples while teaching, so it is easier to remember the class materials. She also teaches in a way that everyone can understand (visual, auditory). Great feedback on any question, comment, or concern that students may have. Best teacher ever!Falcon Institute your next best decision.

A special thank you to Mrs Chiz and Mrs Frey, my clinical instructors Mr.Mrich, Dr.G and Mr. K!Mrs Chiz thank you for your encouragement, support, teaching me to think outside the box, but most of all your passion for Advocating for what is right! Your experience and knowledge shows in your teaching. You have inspired me so much! I could never forget you!

Mr.Mrich thank you for your knowledge, skills, prepping us for exams LOL. Dr G. you are an amazing woman, an inspiration and example that one can do anything they set their mind on doing! This year has been one of the best experiences of my life! Thank you all for helping me start my journey as a Nurse!!!Falcon will also be apart of my journey!

Im very thankful to be a student at falcon institute! My Holy God referred me to the school for a good reason. I have gained so much hope at falcon. My teacher Mrs. Lax is amazing teacher! She has a vivacious personality. She is resourceful and understanding. I can approach her anytime. She always helps with my questions and my suggestions are very important to Mrs Lax. Im blessed to be apart of the school. I can rely on my teacher in case of need and she always make sure that we understand the concepts before she goes on. I dont always schedule an appointment with the CEO but her door is always open. Its truly a blessing. Falcon institute has become a part of my family!

Im in my second semester in the LPN program. I have to say that the teachers exceed my expectations. Mrs. Lax is a wonderful instructor. She goes out of her way to ensure that you understand the material in such a caring way. She is passionate about what she teaches and her warm and welcoming personality makes learning so much easier.Mr. K is is a great clinical instructor who challenges you every step of the way. He wants make sure you take advantage in learning and practicing your skills in the clinical setting. Together they are a great team, each one complementing the other, with the goal of sending great nurses out into world who are prepared and knowledgeable.

I am grateful to God for bringing Falcon Institute close to me. I will always recommend the school to anyone interested in building their career. The instructors are very professional and approachable. Most importantly the CEO of the school, who has taken her time and everything she could to make the school affordable, convenient and opportunity for anyone. Shes a smart, loving and caring person. I understand you can never satisfy everyone, and no matter what you do, some people will never appreciate. I will always appreciate the school and highly recommending this school, please dont be discouraged by negative reviews, because it can be misleading. See for yourself and decide. Its all about you and your future and not what people say. I love my school and hope to see people take advantage of the school to be a great nurse. please come to Falcon Institute, you will never regret it, thank you and God bless.

Very helpful and informational. Instructors show compassion and treat each student the same, as well as making sure we have a clear understanding of what is expected from us. I really enjoyed the class, and look forward to passing my upcoming skills test.

I have had a great academic experience while attending falcon institute. Both instructors I had Mrs.Mitch and Mrs.Urffer have been completely understanding and kind whenever I needed assistance with material. During my pregnancy Mrs.Mitch assisted me with scheduling make up days to take test due to prenatal visits and even after I gave birth she encouraged me to finish strong and worked with me so that I wouldn’t fall too far behind and be able to move on to the next semester. Mrs. Urffer has always been very helpful and attentive she’s always willing to help her students. The staff has always been understanding and more than happy to help with any issues I as a student may have faced .

I graduated from Falcon, I had my Bachelors degree earlier from some other college before I went to Falcon. I am glad I picked Falcon to be an LPN. I had a wonderful experience, starting from the admissions office. Instructors were very knowledgeable, staff was very polite and professional. They supported me and helped me at each step and I passed my NCLEX and I now I am working as a nurse. Will highly recommend this school.

This school was not my first choice and initially I struggled. I didnt know that nursing programs are so rigorous. I was not use to studying 4-5 hours every day. First month was hard, was not prepared for a nursing school, then realized that nursing school is not that easy. Mrs. Lax is an awesome instructor and she helped and guided me how to study and how to think like a nurse when answering test questions. Now I got it, and I am very happy and cannot wait to be a nurse.

I was going there since my friend was in the LPN program but I changed my mind. She told me they hired a mean/rude lady who thinks the school should be more difficult. She told the students she didnt have it easy and they cant either. Sounds like a payback. A lot of students left because of her. I hope shell be out so more students can register with less stress to finish the program. If you have any information about the school gets better please let me know. The CEO is very nice. Its sad that she hired that lady.

This school is amazing. The teachers will try their best for you to understand the materials. I had to redo my second semester and I’m doing so much better with the help of Ms.Urferr. I tell my co workers who are cna’s to come here for nursing. I will love to wear a hoodie or T-shirt to represent Falcon Institute

The teachers has worked in health care for many of years. They teach from real world experience to help you learn. The only bad thing I dont particularly like is the lack of cafeteria space.

Please do your research before attending this institute and waste your money. Spend the extra and go to an accredited school where you will actually get a good education and pass the NCLEX. Talk to people who have actually attended this place and not friends/family of the ones who work there, and it will make you think twice.

I am a current student here at falcon and decided to share my thoughts. I can honestly say that I am learning alot this school. I am approaching the last semester, and although Ive had different teachers(each with their own teaching styles)Ive learned alot from each one of them. Ms.Lax,Ms.Jarvis,Mrs Christy,Mr.K, Mrs.Padda,Mrs.Roy, and Mrs.Hall have all helped me grow and feel more confident in becoming a successful nurse!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DONT GO TO THIS SCHOOL!!!! All of the good reviews you see are coming from staff members being paid to write them as well as family members of the higher ups. This school is the mosr disorganized mess of a school ever created. They have had so many different instructors and changes to the curriculum it is sickening. They are very disorganized and not structured. They will hire a new teacher and allow all hell to break loose. The new teacher can flip the script and totally change the curriculum. Also the DON ...that Gordon woman is very rude. She treats the program like it is a Masters RN program and not LPN. She makes it difficult for students to pass and is very hard headed and not willing to work with students. All they care about it money money money and more money. Lincoln Tech is expensive yes but at least they offer financial aide and at least their school is actually ACCREDITED. This school is not accredited and nobody has every hard of it. When you are trying to get hired as a nurse people act like youre making up the name of the school you went to because nobody knows what Falcoln is. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE if you want to remain sane and you dont want high blood pressure, avoid this school at all costs. There is no financial aide, no help, and nobody cares. Run far far away and never look back! Do yourself a favor. I wish I had.

Review №38

STAY AWAY! This place is a nightmare. It was the worst experience of my life (and I have been to a real **accredited** college), and by far the worst educational program. They try to suck you in by saying they are cheaper and have better hours. Yet, there are so many out of pocket costs that other programs do not have, and somehow the hours you agree to and sign up for change drastically throughout the program due to complete disorganization and incompetence. Lessons are taught out of scope, students are unprepared for the NCLEX, the PA pass rate for the NCLEX is in the 50% (look it up yourself on the internet), academics/pass rate is so bad that careerlink stopped funding to falcon until further notice, there is no one to advocate for students, the place is disgusting and has ants crawling everywhere, the DON is unprofessional, nasty, and spiteful. If you really want to be a nurse do NOT go to falcon. I wish I had dug a little deeper, I know that Lincoln Tech offers many in house grants/financial aide and works with everyone on an individual basis. It ends up being comparable in price or even cheaper. Please do your research, and take my word. I wish I had read just one review, just one. 1 star is too much to give this place- 0 should be an option.
