    This place is the biggest joke. I have been now worked with this program for too many years. When I…read morefirst came it was in person and at the time you could only have 10 missed groups otherwise you were kicked out. When signing up they ask what days would you be best for you to join your groups mine were Monday. No other day was gonna work for me as I have a job and other responsibilities now I take responsibility for my absences which some of them were not intentional and we emergency cases, but I still had to pay for my absences. Like being next to my terminally old child while he was in the ER, they still wanted to charge me for that. I finally hit the nine mark and I had one more absence that I could get. They decided that they were gonna move my appointment a different day, knowing I could only come Mondays, but decided to put it on a Thursday. I showed up on the Monday after that Thursday and was terminated. Well financial situation struck for me and I wasn't able to get back in right away but when I was reinstated all of a sudden it was now zoom that was tough trying to remember it because it was online and if you had any kind of technical problems you were considered absent eventually that didn't work out for me so I paid my big fee and wanted to reinstate again as I showed up to my appointment that I had already had to reschedule. They told me I didn't have one. The lady told me that the group had already started and they couldn't get me in so I'm flustered because that's second time I left work now for this and it's just a headache. Well, the director of it decided she was gonna listen to my conversation while I had the phone cause I was upset because it doesn't come out of their pocket or their time and she didn't like the tone or some of the words I used. But decided to tell me that I had to make another appointment and when she handed me the paperwork for the next appointment was so apprehensive to tell me I was gonna let you win until you use those vulgar words when her secretary had already told me that I couldn't come in because the group had already started. This place is a joke. If you tend here I hope you get through it with a breeze. Make sure you keep track of your money. Don't be late. Don't miss days. Get it done and get out of there because these people will rob you of your money and your time.

    New "If I could give zero stars I would" This place is a…read moremoney grab, it's not worth it and you're better off going to the community college, even if it means that it will take a bit longer plus the cost is way lower than this place. I went in for the LVN program for the first two semesters and it was terrible. The first semester they try to cram in biology, anatomy and physiology all one, within 8 weeks. I passed that semester with high grade but it was truly done on my own. The instructors just read off of a PowerPoint presentation for 3 hours, there really isn't much teaching. Also they like to test their students with NCLEX style questions which seems like it would be a nice way to get experience for the real thing, except they don't show you how to take these type of testing or what to expect. I believe at one point the instructor said they expect us to fail these tests the first few times, as if that's some sort of way to teach? I was hoping that after that first semester was over and once we got into the actual LVN courses it would get better but it didn't. Same thing, it's a lot of teaching yourself as you go, and using a lot of outside resources to learn. For the amount of money they charge, you would think that you would receive a better education, but it seems like the instructors are only there to babysit you while you teach yourself. I will say there was one instructor that actually taught some classes, Allan, he was the only one that seemed like he was there to help students. I unfortunately had a family emergency that caused me to miss a day and since I was not able to make the hours up I decided to drop out of the program, which in hindsight was a blessing in disguise. Now I'm going to Shasta Community College to finish my degree and I'm actually leaning more and getting the tools I need to make a great nurse once I'm out in the real world. Another thing to take into account is their attendance policy, you cannot miss any days, making up the hours is impossible if you have a job. They don't care what the reason is, the only thing they'll "excuse" is a family death, which you will have to provide a death certificate to prove it. The place I work at has lots of graduates from this place and they never have anything positive to say about it, which should have been my warning. Overall I would definitely recommend not going here, the lure of having part time evenings classes available sounds great especially for those that have to work full time but I promise you it's not worth it.

    Would give it a 0 if I could. Horrible place. Teacher made a comment about Hispanics being…read more"greasy." Super expensive and they don't have the proper equipment. The career services person (amber) was no help at all. Never answered any texts and waited last minute to do anything. Daisha was the only person there who was great, amazing instructor. Super easy to talk to and was always willing to help. Save your money and don't come here. Stepful will be your best bet.
