Never had such a negative experience like this one. The staff is really rude and the instructor of the Spanish class made a lot of rude jokes while doing the course. She was mean to a pregnant woman that couldn't understand really well how to do the chest compressions and she started yelling at her to "do it right" in a rude bad way. It was the class in Spanish but my other coworkers have been experiencing the same with the white lady in the front desk. My boss was the one that suggested us to go there but the white lady was even rude to her this time so we're never going back!

I couldn't have chosen a more professional and courteous company for this service to improve the Safety Program at my business. Thank you Carlo!

I would like to save people time money and most important their jobs since we weren't aware of the way she runs the place.

We will like to get legal actions toward this issue but required money to proceed so any help with cases like this please do feel free to guide us with this issue. We attempted to get refund but she refuse to since we did pay her cash. We don't understand how the state have here on their main website as a certified provider for the classes.

As a dad-to-be, I wasn't exactly sure what to expect going into a hypnobirthing class. If I'm being…read morehonest, I was a little skeptical at first--"hypno" anything sounded a bit out there to me. But I signed up to support my wife, and I'm really glad I did. This class completely changed how I see birth and my role in it. Instead of feeling like a bystander, I walked away feeling informed, useful, and actually confident in how I can support my wife during labor. The techniques we learned--breathing, relaxation, visualization--aren't just for moms. I found myself using them too, and they've already helped us both stay calmer leading up to the big day. What stood out most was how much emphasis was placed on teamwork. I learned specific, practical ways to advocate for my wife, help her stay relaxed, and create a positive environment no matter how the birth unfolds. It made me feel like an active participant instead of just "the guy in the room." The instructor, Care, was very knowledgeable, approachable, and never made any question feel silly. She made the classes very comfortable and even pretty funny at times. The class also struck a great balance between education and hands-on practice, so it didn't feel like we were just sitting through lectures. If you're a partner on the fence about taking a hypnobirthing class--do it. Even if you're skeptical like I was, you'll come away with tools, confidence, and a much deeper understanding of what your partner is going through. Honestly, it's one of the best things we've done together to prepare for becoming parents.

I gave birth a couple months ago, and decided to go through Care's Hypnobirthing class, and also…read moreuse her for my placenta encapsulation, and I can't recommend her highly enough! From the very first class, it was clear that Care is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about empowering expectant parents. Her approach to hypnobirthing and breathing techniques was not only informative but also calming and reassuring for both me and my partner. We completed it feeling much more prepared and confident for the birth experience ahead. Care provided a wealth of resources, ensuring we had everything we needed to make informed decisions about our birthing plan. She was always responsive to our questions, both during the classes and even after the birth, which made a world of difference in our journey. It's rare to find someone who continues to support you even after the classes are over. Overall, the entire experience with Care was amazing. Her warmth, expertise, and dedication to her clients truly set her apart. If you're looking for guidance and support in your birth preparation, look no further than Care Messer at the Birth Education Center!

When I first started pre-reqs at MFSON, Ms. Ruth Ranches worked at the front desk and always made…read morethe environment feel warm and welcoming. Walking onto campus, I was immediately greeted with a smile and positive attitude from Ms. Ruth. Despite how many students attend the school, she made an effort to get to know us and remember our names. Ms. Ruth was recently promoted to Administrative Assistant for the ADN Program, and it is so well deserved! It was truly a full-circle moment when she was the one who emailed my letter of acceptance for the second portion of the program. Since I don't see Ms. Ruth at the front desk anymore, I usually stop by the Admin Office just to say hi and ask how she and her family are doing. Nursing school can be stressful and challenging, but Ms. Ruth has made me feel heard and supported since the very beginning. Thank you as well to Professor Marion German, Professor Leah Baltazar, and Dr. Dela Cruz for taking the time to meet with my cohort regularly to listen to our concerns and provide support since we started the program. Having such a supportive administrative team while beginning the ADN program has been invaluable to my learning experience at MFSON.

This review is intended as a follow-up to my previous submission and reflects my ongoing experience…read moreas a student at the Marsha Fuerst School of Nursing. I am pleased to share that meaningful progress has been made in several areas since my last review, most notably in leadership and faculty. At the same time, I believe honest and constructive feedback about areas still in need of improvement is essential for the continued growth of the program. The school's decision to bring in new leadership has made a noticeable and positive difference in the student experience. Dean Calvillo, in particular, has quickly become one of the most impactful additions to the program. From a student's perspective, she is a genuine asset -- approachable, forward-thinking, and clearly invested in improving the direction of the school. It is worth acknowledging that Dean Calvillo inherited a difficult situation and has demonstrated both professionalism and determination in addressing it. She faces an uphill climb, but the progress she has made in a relatively short time is encouraging. Students notice when leadership cares, and she has made it clear that she does. Similarly, the Director has contributed meaningfully to keeping the program operational and moving forward. While his specific scope of influence over the RN program may vary, his dedication to the institution has not gone unnoticed. Two individuals in particular deserve special recognition for the exceptional support they provide to students on a daily basis. Shannon H. Shannon is, without question, the backbone of the Bakersfield campus. She is not a professor, but her role in the day-to-day functioning of the program is invaluable. Whenever students have questions, need guidance, or encounter administrative hurdles, Shannon is the person who steps in and gets things done -- reliably, efficiently, and without complaint. Her institutional knowledge and genuine willingness to help make a real difference in the student experience. She is one of the school's greatest assets. Professor Kirsten T. Professor T. exemplifies what nursing education should look like. With well over a decade of emergency room nursing experience, she brings a depth of real-world clinical knowledge that enriches every interaction. What sets her apart, however, is not just what she knows -- it is how freely and generously she shares it. She makes herself available to students at all hours, is never dismissive, and approaches every question with patience and genuine enthusiasm for teaching. Crucially, she teaches students to truly understand the material, not simply memorize it -- a distinction that will serve her students throughout their entire nursing careers. Professor T. does not gatekeep knowledge, and that open, collaborative spirit is exactly what this program needs more of. The recent additions to the faculty have been a very welcome development. While it would not be appropriate to single out individuals who are still new to their roles, the overall impression is a strongly positive one. This wave of new hiring, combined with improved leadership, gives genuine reason for optimism about the future of the program. In the interest of providing a balanced and honest review, I feel it is important to address areas where the student experience has fallen short. The following concerns are shared not to single out individuals unfairly, but because unresolved issues at the staff level have a direct and ongoing impact on students. Unhelpful and Discouraging Interactions There two members (A. Cruz, Dean Sam) of the staff whose conduct toward students has been consistently discouraging. Specifically, students have repeatedly encountered interactions characterized by a dismissive attitude, an unwillingness to assist, and a lack of constructive communication. When a student seeks guidance and is met with negativity rather than support, it creates a barrier to learning and undermines confidence at a critical stage in their education. Nursing school is demanding enough without students feeling that certain staff members are working against them rather than with them. Professionalism, accessibility, and a basic willingness to support students should not be optional they are foundational expectations of anyone in an educational role. Prior Leadership Concerns Concerns raised in my previous review regarding certain administrative leadership remain unresolved. The environment created under prior leadership left students without adequate support, clear communication, or a sense that their concerns were being heard.

Little did I know that I'd LOVE THIS PLACE! KMF is not like any other gym. Every trainer is very encouraging and even the other members are too. When you walk in, you can feel the positivity. At KMF there is no judgement! Everyone wants to see everyone else succeed. I have never felt so comfortable working out anywhere else than I do at KMF. The trainers take their time to show you each movement carefully so that you feel comfortable doing them, they are not extremely pushy and they modify movements that still challenge you but accommodate to your needs in order to complete the work out. In all honesty, you gain more than just a great gym, you gain a new family! Everyday, I look forward to attending KMF. It's a really motivating feeling to have found a CrossFit Gym like KMF. When I began this journey I was 174lbs, now after 4 months of constantly attending the gym I am at 152lbs. Attached are before and after pictures of a weight loss challenge we did at KMF. Start weight was 163lbs and end weight was 152 lbs.
