I lost my mom in late 2025 to liver cancer. She was in/out of hospitals, rehabilitation and acute…read morecare facilities, towards the end, home hospice care. It was one of the most traumatic experiences of my life. For the most part, she received quality care. It was the horrible care she received an acute care facility, that motivated me to pursue a career as a health care advocate for seniors. The seniors without family and friends received subpar care and treatment. I was at the facility daily and had to pull teeth to insist on her getting the bare minimum care. My employment background is mostly in transportation and finance. I cared for my mom and received a 40 hour a month salary for 24 hours a day care as an IHSS provider. I wanted to expand my resume and become a Certified Nurse Assistant as well as a Certified Home Health Care Provider. My goal is to have a few clients to assist from home to the hospital. I needed an online school that would allow me to have days free to address probate, financial and grief therapy concerns. I googled CNA schools in the Riverside county area and selected McKallen Medical.The knowledge I obtained at McKallen not only broadened my natural patient centered care instincts, it provided me with additional tools, resources and knowledge that has opened my heart and soul. I enrolled in the CNA course 4 months after my moms death. I was stuck in the bargaining stage of grief. I was being triggered by some of the lessons. It was a daily barrage of " if I could of, would of, should of" mental gymnastics. Logically, I knew that I did not have the knowledge to know what steps could have made a difference in my mothers care. However, in the midst of grief, you are filled with guilt and despair. After my first week of theory, I notified administration and told them I was struggling with the course. Tre Green, was not only understanding, he was compassionate and empathetic. He advised me to take as much time as I needed and pursue the course when I was ready to move forward. Eventually I re-started the course with Instructor Mary Montantes-Peck. She was a SUPERB INSTRUCTOR. She is passionate, knowledgeable and engaged. She is the prime example of passing on to others what she embodies as a human being. I am a firm believer that we give to the world, the skills, values and growth mindset that we have. Mary's knowledge about resident/patient care comes from a deep compassionate core. Alex Portillo, the clinical instructor, was great as well. Alex made what could have been a high stress environment into a calm, smooth and knowledgeable experience. There were a few issues with the skills lab training, so this is the reason for a 4 star review. Overall, I had a wonderful experience. I am deeply grateful and appreciative for what McKallen Medical Training provided. I would highly recommend the school to all potential enrollees. Just go in with an open heart and mind and you will reap the benefits and rewards.

Hi, I'm Gricelda, and this will be a lengthy review!…read more I am an LVN graduate, Class of 2025, from Lotus Medical Career College. My experience at this school was incredibly positive. The professors were excellent and always pushed us to become the best versions of ourselves. The front desk staff worked tirelessly to keep everything in order, and they always made an effort to decorate for holidays like Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. They did a beautiful graduation for us as well. I was fortunate to have a small class, and over time, we became like a second family. The friendships I made here will last a lifetime. As for the Director of Nursing (DON), Ms. Assima, I know some reviews describe her as strict, but I see it differently. She has a strong and passionate teaching style, always pushing students not to give up and never to be lazy. Her focus is on education and success, and she truly wants every student to pass. The fact that she never dropped a single student speaks volumes she's not just about the money, as some people in reviews suggest. She genuinely cares about her students and has a big heart for helping people. Now, about the program itself wow! It was intense, with five days of classes per week for nearly a year. You have to be mentally prepared for that level of commitment and willing to put in the work. Studying hard is a must, and the ATI... oh boy, that's a beast! But like anything else, if you put in the effort, you can master it. I'm currently working on my ATI Green Light so I can take the NCLEX-PN, and I will truly miss this school. I have no doubt that Lotus Medical Career College will continue to be a great school for decades to come. It would be amazing if Ms. Assima expanded the school to offer an LVN-to-RN bridge program. She is motivated, capable, and passionate about education, and I know many of us would love to come back for further learning. I'll try to update this review once I pass the Green Light and NCLEX. I have to send all the staff thank you gifts as wellThank you to everyone at Lotus Medical Career College for this unforgettable journey. Class of 2025

That's the only reason there's any stars at all. I'm sorry but I really need to review this class and Red Cross needs to not use this location until it can be fixed. (Anaheim LOCATION) They do not separate BLS from the regular CPR for civilians. And it was NOT good. There was not enough equipment for everyone (including the BLS professionals). It was extremely rushed. The children, infant and First Aid portion was rushed to the max. I have taken a how to on tourniquet before and it was not enough information given during this part. I'm a civilian and I'm not prepared even though I'm now technically certified. I literally need to retake. There was no skills review section for civilian which is concerning, doesn't Red Cross want certification to mean anything? My husbands class at another location had a skills review. And it wasn't rushed like this. The BLS test was being administered at the end when civilian video was going on. It was difficult to follow the video with the q & a from the BLS. Plus the stop start and not finishing parts of the video make it extra hard to follow. And I'm assuming taking a test with video blasting isn't great for the professionals. Note for content to Red Cross, why doesn't the anaphylaxis portion tell you to use the opposite leg for the second dose of epinephrine? That's basic information and as someone who carries epinephrine I'm actually angry Red Cross doesn't include that information?! It's literally dangerous. Don't include it at all if you can't do it properly. *Edited to add I did NOT sign up for the one that says combined. I signed up for this " ARC Adult Child and Infant CPR AED and First Aid Full Class". No BLS mentioned.

Through this opportunity, I was able to gain valuable experience as a Case Manager, later work for the county as a Prevention Specialist and Counselor, and eventually serve as an Assistant Program Director at a residential facility. When I was ready to obtain my CADC, my instructor at Healthstaff, Miguel Palos, went above and beyond to support me. He provided exam review sessions, guidance on study materials, and insight into what to expect on test day. Thanks to his support, I passed my exam with confidence and without anxiety. I have recommended Healthstaff's program to many people and will continue to do so--especially the classes taught by Miguel. This program truly prepared me for success in the field.

Honestly, please believe all the one star reviews and whoever is responding to these one star…read morereviews you can see what kind of person is responding by gaslighting and trying to discredit their experience with this school. Please please do your research and get as much information as you can before signing away . I went to the school last year. I should've really done my research before getting myself in involved with this school. First of all everybody in that office is very rude and unprofessional. They were very unhelpful, inconsistent and hard to get a hold of when it came to something that YOU needed. Oh but when they need something from you, they will harass YOU. And by that I mean, they will call and text you at all hours of the day and be rude and gaslight you. I had to block a Jasmine Rodriguez, because after I responded to her, and I had clearly told her that I didn't want to sign a certain paper that was not mandatory for me to sign due to not receiving the service that she was trying to have me sign. She kept texting me, Emailing me, gaslighting me and questioning every answer that I had for her. After not answering her for ONE DAY, she went and harassed my family. I will say this though, my on campus teacher was the sweetest, kindest and most amazing teacher. I just hope in order for them to just do somewhat better, they need to either retrain their staff is in that riverside campus office or get people who actually like to do their job. You will notice that when you call the school they'll be very kind to you until you're already a student. They'll give you the biggest attitude and treat you like you're an annoyance. And I'm not just speaking for myself, but all of my colleagues and previous students that I met during my work experience had horrible experiences with this campus so I know for a fact, that I'm not the problem. Also, please look up how much money you would make starting off in these careers because again I didn't do my research and that is my fault. You don't make a lot of money and there's not a lot of jobs available out there. And yes, I'm not gonna give my actual name as I'm not trying to have that school harassed me again, I will only state that I graduated with a summa cum laude. And if you're already a student here, my only advice is to keep all the receipts and paperwork that you get because they will try to gaslight you.
