Sami R.

I had a wonderful experience at Abrams College. I began the March Class for Phlebotomy, did my internship in May, and passed my NCCT my very first try with flying colors in June due to the excellence of the information given and time the instructor took to answer my questions and concerns. I am now an employee here at the College as a skills instructor and I absolutely love it. This course is an expedited course that is fairly priced. Being an expedited course, there is a lot of information put into a short amount of time. If you pay attention, ask questions, take notes, and put in the study time, you will pass this course and be well prepared for your NCCT of you study the materials and extra study materials given. The internship is fast paced and helpful in the fact that it is a real workplace with Phlebotomists that have been in the field for many years. I was able to do my internship with a classmate which made the experience much more pleasant for me. I feel that it is very important to be able to be coachable and open when both the class and internship. Keep a positive attitude and be humble and you will be successful in your internship. It is imperative to be on time with paperwork and follow instructions to the T, in order to get your certification. This has nothing to do with the College but the office staff and Dave will help you every step of the way and give you precise instructions to follow in order. I highly recommend understanding the certification process, if you don't, ask, don't wing it otherwise the process will take much longer due to the agency that certifies you, not the college. The process with certification needs to be done carefully with no mistakes. As a workplace for me, we are constantly improving with every class that we have. Dave, Lea, Kandyce, and Kyle are all very helpful and knowledgeable. The owner and the office staff are friendly and helpful. We tend to individual's needs, have plenty of skills instructors to aid in proper procedure including myself, and express the importance of the study time. My experience as a prior student March 2017 and now as an employee have been positive and rewarding. I do hope you take the time to check out Abrams College for any of the many programs offered here. Come check it out, you won't be disappointed.

One word to summarize MJC : useless…read more I challenge anyone to find a single graduate from this college that isn't a nurse (or some lesser derivative, like RT or LVN). There's a good chance you won't, because that's all this college ever produces. Back when I was a young (and very naive) human I used to think college and higher education was for advancing humanity. Building better technology, scaling, furthering our understanding of the universe. Boy, was I mistaken, because at MJC I learned the truth about what college is REALLY for. Which is just to PRETEND to want all that but actually just kiss @$$, smile, feign competence, and, most importantly, try to get a big paycheck. ​​​​​​At MJC, everyone just agrees with the majority, and logic or critical thinking? Hah! Nice sense of humor you got there . Now that's what I have to say about the students there and how they're nothing but incompetent Muppets. Let's talk about the college as a whole Releasing nothing but Healthcare workers. Why does MJC do this? Because its the easiest field for incompetence to hide. You see, as a plumber, you either fixed the sink or you didnt. As an electrician, your light either works, or it doesn't. If you're a mechanic, the car either runs... or it doesn't. But in Healthcare there's plenty of incompetent actors to flourish behind ambiguity. The right approach, the right mannerisms, the right personality. All of these are subjective and debatable, unlike whether or not a car simply runs. Another reason why Modesto poops out these useless Healthcare workers is because its the easiest "problem" to fabricate. If your car runs, you assume it works. If your sink drains, you assume no problem. Theres no "nuance", theres no "condition", theres nothing to attach narratives to. Theres no "your car work, oh but it has 'autism' and thats why you need to also give it this". Theres also no emotions. Your car gets serviced for an oil change, there no gut wrenching potential (or phantasmal) "cancer" thats going to demand big monies to cure a "problem" you didnt know you had. Healthcare is the easiest field to scam humans with because it has the biggest cloud of ambiguity and distortion compared to the trades. Its honestly sickening once you see it for what it is. Im not about to waste my life on gaslighting nonsense, even if it pays well. Besides, I can do much better with my capabilities without these uselsss "higher" education camps. I'd give it one star but then I'd be completely also discrediting the useless sciences I did learn there like Anatomy, Physio, and Microbiology. But beyond a few worthwhile classes (that you cant even really capitalize on without significant capital) going here is a waste if you truly want to level up your intelligence. But if your goal is to be a mindless drone and collect a paycheck, itll probably serve that function. ​​​​​​

Absolutely terrible! Counselors are terrible don't know anything and they are consistently…read moreunavailable or the office closed!

I attended the informational meeting and as Nick and Kim were going through the information we come…read moreacross the vaccines section. Kim made it clear that the Covid booster was a requirement and she had to say in a firm smirky voice"not even for religious purposes." To be honest, I almost walked out but I stayed to take the test which I passed however, I was denied because of my belief and this is very unfortunate because I attend MJC and have been a student for about 2 1/2 years now and I was really looking forward to this program because I have heard they are top notch in the area. The reason I gave them 3 stars is because Nick was professional.

When it is said, that you're never too "old to learn" I'd say that holds true; for me…read more.. I graduated with my official Associates in Arts Degree in: General Studies, Social & Behavioral Sciences domain. What a fascinating subject. I had been attending school for over 20 years I believe it is and was so excited when COVID-19 struck. I saw it as an awesome opportunity to further my collegiate studies and obtain by hard honest labor, an actual college degree. MJC was good to me. Great to me even. I was able to finish up several classes and in doing so I obtained my college degree from Modesto Junior College in Modesto, California. They keep the campus clean, clean and clean. I loved this. Since resources are precious to me and my bunch of rescued family members; cats and dogs, being able to stay home and learn and retain the knowledge from the Professors was a perfect fit. I obtained my degree in the middle of COVID-19 and although it was very stressful; it took me about one year to recuperate from the semesters accomplished & behind me. I haven't been able to use my degree yet but am in the midst of locating something fun and educational that I can sink my teeth into and hopefully earn some much-needed income while there. There is so much financial aid that halfway through me starting my college journey, I qualified for 100% no-cost financial aid. It relieved so much stress and anxiety and anguish for me. (I live with several mental health conditions, one of which is the Bipolar Type 1, and that makes for a challenging environment and some memory challenges but I persevered and passed ALL my classes. I am so grateful. I thought I earned an A/B from my college Professor for an advanced English course but alas, the letter "C" is what remains. Sorry about that, I digressed ;) Check out the DOR = Dept. of Rehabilitation out of Modesto. It's a State of California-funded "NO COST IF YOUR DISABLED" which I was at the time. They set me up with a refurbished laptop, school supplies, pens, and pencils paper, etc each semester. They even offer assistance, hands-on I'm told, for locating that career once graduated. It's an amazing COST-FREE way to obtain your college education. My school guidance counselor Kayla Locke IS THE MOST AMAZING helpful and supportive counselor I have EVER encountered. She was part-time when she worked with me to aid me in meticulously at that, be aware of what courses and when I needed to take them to obtain my degree. IT WORKED! She's wonderful and if you're seeking a guidance counselor she's a sure fit. Her knowledge saved me from taking a couple of courses we thought I needed. She surprised me one day via email that I didn't have to take the courses which allowed me to graduate ahead of my class by months. Yes, she is just that professional yet personable at the same time; it's a perfection of a blend. Best wishes to you on your college journey at MJC... Thank you ~Jana Leigh Thomas MJC Graduate :)

Please read before enrolling. I have just graduated from this LVN program, and I can honestly say…read morethat throughout the entire 12 months, the program was extremely unorganized. Module 1 was by far the most difficult not because of the material itself, but due to poorly prepared instructors who did not seem knowledgeable about what they were teaching, along with administration that relied heavily on fear and intimidation rather than support. Module 2 continued with the same issues. When I reached out for help regarding a class concern, I contacted Mr. Baca, the VN coordinator, and received a very cold, dismissive response. There was no compassion, no guidance, and his demeanor was unprofessional, rude, and insincere. This lack of support was consistent throughout the program. Module 3 was overall the easiest academically; however, the Med-Surg 2 instructor was frequently absent and displayed petty behavior, which further reflected the program's lack of structure and accountability. Module 4 was the one exception. Dawn, the OB instructor, was exceptional--she is one of the most passionate and dedicated nurses I have ever met. Ms. Charmaine, the instructor thats a NICU nurse was also outstanding and truly amazing. These two instructors were the highlight of the program and the only ones who genuinely cared about student learning and success. Along with Jay the clinical instructor, he holds a lot of passion for what he does. I did pass the exit exam and have completed the program. I would only recommend this school to individuals who are 100% committed to becoming a nurse, highly resilient, and capable of navigating a program with minimal support. Unfortunately, there is little to no help from instructors or management. Ms.Tu although i did not speak to her much she was always professional and helpful when i did contact her. Overall, this program lacks organization, professionalism, and adequate student support.

I recently completed my LVN program (VN-90) at Gurnick Academy, Modesto location, and I am very…read moregrateful for this experience. The program offers a detailed and well-structured syllabus with excellent clinical exposure. The variety of clinical facilities helped me effectively connect theory with real nursing practice. The instructors are experienced, dedicated, and bring different teaching styles, which made learning engaging and meaningful. I would like to personally appreciate Ms. Mandeep Kaur for her excellent Med-Surg lectures and deep understanding of physiology. Ms. Dawn Hayek delivered outstanding OB lectures; her teaching style, expressions, and clinical insight made her lectures more valuable than textbooks. Ms. Laura impressed me with her energy and experience-based Pharmacology teaching. Ms. Charmaine brought strong expertise in PEDS and NICU, adding depth to her lectures. Mr. Phil Waymire played a key role during MOD IV and Capstone by helping tie everything together. His SIMS knowledge and rationales truly empowered students. I also appreciate Ms. MJ, Ms. Jess, and Ms. Ashita for being kind, supportive, and knowledgeable. The clinical instructors were exceptional. Ms. Antonieta Largoza is thorough and disciplined, ensuring strong fundamentals. Ms. Linda White is passionate and inspiring, and Ms. Alicia Grigsby has a unique teaching style with excellent student camaraderie. Special thanks to Ms. Tu (Director) for her coordination with students, Mr. Benne (VN Coordinator) for always advocating for students and resolving issues promptly, and Mr. Jay and Ms. Brenda (Clinical Coordinators) for their constant support and responsiveness. I also appreciate Mr. Tony (Security) for maintaining a safe and caring environment. Kudos to Ms. Kari, Ms. Sharjani, Mr. Veneet, Ms. Lori, and Ms. Edail Odisho for their continued support. My classmates were caring and supportive throughout the program, and I truly witnessed the nurturing spirit of future nurses among them. As a constructive suggestion, adding tutors with strong clinical and pathology-based knowledge could further enhance student understanding and learning outcomes. Overall, Gurnick Academy feels like a family, not just an institution. I hope the Modesto location introduces an RN program in the future and offers scholarships for continuing students.
