LPN StudentI am currently attending Academia Medical Institute where I currently attending the Licensed practical nurse program. I am so happy with the choice that I have made to attend this school. The teachers are very helpful and they all are concerned about their students. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone who would like to go into the medical field with great education. No regrets!

LPN StudentI’m attending the LPN program and although it’s fast paced.... I’m learning a lot. Mr. Ali, the owner is a very nice man and very easy to communicate with if there is any concerns about anything. Lena, the school’s heartbeat is the most amazing office administrator ever! She is the reason, I chose this school. I had a million questions to ask before I attended and she stayed on the phone and answered every question thoroughly. In my eyes, she went over and beyond as I asked her questions about living locations in Columbus because I was moving from Michigan.
LPN Graduate Student
JeraldineThank you AMI for accepting me and for being the foundation of my nursing career. It was definitely an exciting experience for me moving from California and making a new life here in Ohio. Not only have I had a great education from AMI, I have learned about a lot of different cultures and appreciate that AMI was very inclusive of different cultures when teaching us about patient care. Be prepared to work hard and never be afraid to ask questions. This is not the type of school where you can just miss assignments or show up late and it will all be okay. No, this is a nursing school that truly prepares individuals to enter into a career as nursing professionals. It was tough, but the instructors were always willing to help out students whenever they needed. Shout out to Dr. Elnaggar for being the best A&P instructor. To my other instructors and staff Mr. Ali, Dr. Gates, Dr. Tiya, Dr. Crayton, Professor Pauline, Professor Carol, Professor Jan, Mrs. Rosemary and Elfreda thank you all so much for your hard work and dedication to your students. AMI really helped build me into not just a nurse, but a GOOD nurse. Since graduating and passing my NCLEX on my first try I have so far received a handful of job offers from OhioHealth, Mount Carmel, and Nationwide Children's to name a few. I truly feel that every graduate that walks out of AMI will have a good nursing foundation along with strong morals and ethics. I am proud to be a part of the AMI LPN alumni and recommend this school for anyone interested in starting their nursing career. Nurses rock!
RN Graduate Student
VanessaI’m so happy I chose Academia school of nursing. It’s was affordable, great instructors (shout out to Dr Elnaggar!). I definitely learned everything I needed to be successful in completing the program and passing the NCLEX in 75 questions my first time. I made lifelong friends on this journey (Hey cohort 10). Without a doubt I will return to complete the RN program . Thanks Academia!!!!
