    *For the VA program*…read more The class size was good. Not too many students, but just enough for group work and exercises. I think a big problem though would be having a small computer lab shared between the multiple programs. It was too small of a room and you could never tell what program was using the room until you actually stepped inside. As for the staff, they were helpful in guiding me through externship. I would've definitely missed a due date or forget to fill out a form without their help.

    I'm writing this to make it clear the negative reviews about this program are not lies. I…read moreexperienced the same issues. During COVID-19 I was in the, veterinary assistant program, I was told there would still be hands-on lab training, just modified. That did not happen. Lab exposure was extremely limited, and the instruction was inconsistent. The second instructor was frequently late, absent, and unprepared. I documented in my graduate survey that she was inadequate for lab instruction which is a serious issue for a hands-on program and no one ever followed up. Most of the "teaching" consisted of reading directly from a textbook, with little to no practical application. It felt like self-teaching rather than an actual program. Cost vs. Value Total cost: $17,506 Out-of-pocket: about $6,130 I was charged $515 for e-books that barely worked and had to go back to campus for physical books. The laptop provided also did not function properly during class. For that price, the education should reflect, it did not. Reality Check I'm currently continuing my education toward my RVT license through a program that costs around $8,000 and is far more structured. This program does not even lead to a license, yet costs more than double. Externship By the time I reached externship, I was not prepared at all. My first site wouldn't even let me participate, and I lost a month. I had to transfer. I didn't actually learn basic skills until my second externship which should have been taught in the program. Concerns I raised multiple concerns directly with Lourdes Valencia over the phone and was told, "you signed up for this." During one call, she forgot to hang up, and I overheard her and another staff member speaking negatively about me. This was extremely unprofessional and discouraging, especially after I had just expressed my concerns. I documented this experience in my graduate survey, yet there was no follow-up. It is very concerning that such feedback was submitted and seemingly ignored. Now that I'm continuing my education, it's clear how inadequate the training was, and it raises serious concerns about whether students are being taken advantage of. Pattern Matters Yes, some reviews are positive, but many negative reviews share the same exact issues. Students (including myself) have documentation of what we paid. At some point, when multiple people are saying the same thing including former staff it cannot just be dismissed. Final Thought My 4.0 GPA was from my own effort, not the program. I did not sign up for an inadequate education. I signed up for what was promised during admissions, and that is not what I received. I am currently in communication with the school and hoping for resolution. Until then: Do not spend your money here if you expect real training and support.

    I have waited over 20+ years to become a RN and I am thankful for AUHS. This is a Christian…read moreuniversity, with bible study, prayer sessions and encouraging emails (which I love). I've had great professors, and good professors - none were bad. I've had good experience with the nursing leadership as well. I have been shown kindness and support along the way- I am grateful God led me to AUHS. Ms. Barbara Cook- Strong is a great asset to this University. This woman is worth every coin she makes and much much more. She not only is a fellow animal print lover, but she is a phenomenal student advocate and extremely supportive. I could not imagine the workload that comes with supporting so many students. I am sure she has deadlines galore but somehow the work gets done. Her diligence and desire to see the students succeed is evident. She gives great advice and is gracious and compassionate. I could go on and on about how fabulous she is, but if you ever get a chance to meet her, please treat her as the gem that she is, and nothing less! Lastly, nursing school is not easy, and no institution is perfect- but there is a reason the most recent cohort has 100% passing rate, other cohorts upper 90's at NCLEX. Be prepared to work hard, don't get involved with politics, just pursue your goal and move forward! So far, it is working for me :)

    Having recently graduated from AUHS School of Nursing, I feel compelled to share my experience to…read morehelp inform prospective students and their families. I entered the program with a strong desire to learn and serve as a nurse. Instead, I encountered disorganization, mismanagement, and repeated unprofessional and sometimes retaliatory behavior from leadership. These were not isolated events, but part of a recurring, harmful culture that prevents student success. 1. Clinical Hours: Disorganized and Incomplete During our pediatric rotation, AUHS initially failed to provide the 120 required clinical hours. When I asked what would happen if we didn't meet the requirement due to their error, we were told we would have to retake the course. The hours were eventually made up but in a rushed and chaotic way that prioritized survival over education. 2. Retaliation: Punished for Raising Concerns Students who voiced concerns about scheduling were met with hostility. Marilyn Uvero (Provost) interrupted lecture to accuse the class of being "ungrateful." I was given a formal reprimand for respectfully raising concerns in a private meeting. That same day, AUHS added class days without the legally required student consent under CA Ed Code §94898. 3. Dismissed Complaints: No Accountability One clinical instructor canceled sessions with no makeup plan. When reported, including complaints from students and hospital staff, leadership denied the issues and kept the instructor in place. 4. Unsafe Clinical Environment We submitted a formal letter regarding misconduct by Professor Denise Waller. She sent students home for rules never communicated, humiliated students in front of staff, entered a locked psych unit without clearance, and physically grabbed a student's badge. AUHS policy defines this as harassment. No action was taken. 5. Communication Failures Last-minute changes and ignored emails were constant. One clinical day was "likely" moved to Saturday, but no confirmation was ever given. Even getting a bootcamp time required escalating to senior staff after several emails went unanswered. 6. False Advertising: Facilities Not Delivered AUHS promoted a new simulation lab in tours that influenced enrollment decisions. We never used it. Instead, we sat on the floor in crowded rooms and struggled to hear instructors due to faulty equipment. 7. Toxic Culture The former dean was fired early in the program. When students asked what to do, a faculty member said, "Run." Another instructor resigned mid-term due to the abusive behavior of Maria Shearing, Director of Clinicals. Students have been removed from clinicals without cause and told to pay $1,200 to make it up. Most stay silent out of fear. 8. Broken Promises: Tuition Rebate Withheld AUHS promised a $1,000 rebate for passing the NCLEX on the first try, to be issued the Friday of the first week of the next quarter. It has been over three weeks with no update. Multiple students asked, but the school has provided no answers. Some staff care, but they are the exception. AUHS offers no meaningful student support. It often feels hostile, punitive, and indifferent to the chaos it creates. This goes beyond poor organization and at times seems deliberately obstructive. I strongly advise against attending AUHS. If you do enroll, prepare to sacrifice your job, family time, and mental health. The school will not respect your time, concerns, or dignity. Nursing school should be hard because of the content, not because of the school itself. It should also be fair, professional, and focused on growth. AUHS fails across the board.

    Found this place with a quick google search for IV therapy and blood withdrawal certification near…read moreme. Followed that up with Yelp and saw the extensive amount of 5-star reviews. Was I a bit skeptical? Yes lol especially since their pricing is a bit higher than other certification classes. Here is my opinion. This place is definitely worth every single 5-star review you see and read. Dr. Khan and Sylvia who teaches and runs the training classes are so friendly and knowledgeable. They provide you with all the information and skills needed to become board certified. They answer all your questions and never make you feel less for asking them. They prepare you mentally prior and guide you from start to finish on each technique needed from blood withdrawal, setting up an IV line and providing IV therapy. Then they observe your retention knowledge to be able to perform without instructions. Along with educating us on different types of equipment we might come across while working in the field. The classes are fairly small and intimate which makes the learning experience that much more enjoyable as you get to know the other students training along side you. Yes the price is higher than other training facilities, but definitely worth it. Honestly you're paying for great instructors, small class groups, night classes, and realistically; medical supplies are expensive. With that, they still provide you with a tracking number to track your certification to the board as well. This is where you say, you're paying for quality over quantity. Other than providing IV/BW therapy certification. They offer other approved AHA classes like BLS, ACLS, and even an extensive NCLEX refresher prep course. Worth checking out for a great experience.

Thanks DR. Estes, Veronica Nieves counselor for all the support given.

    I took the Beginning Excel/Microsoft class and did NOT complete the course…read more I was extremely disappointed in the class structure and most of the students did NOT even know what a desktop was, know how to maneuver the mouse and worst did NOT know how to log in to their computer after weeks. They still needed assistance. This created a minimum of 20 minutes of the teacher trying to assist all these students who were lost. I felt like she relied on other students to help those students who needed help which isn't fair. They should have a prerequisite to this class MUST know basic microsoft, how to use a mouse, how to save/ download documents into a folder, etc. I decided to stop going to the class since the teacher had to focus on these others students and then when everyone was finally on the same page. She would literally rush through the chapter since of course our class was behind. I'm giving it 3 stars since this isn't the teacher's fault or the students. The school needs to do a better job in making some of these courses to having a prerequisite pertaining to that course.
