I just moved to Hilo from Oahu a few months ago and at the spur of the moment, I decided to…read moreregister for a CNA program. I was debating between Mid Pacific Medical Training Institute (MPMTI) and Hawaii Institute of Healthcare &Training Services (HIHTS). After doing some research and looking into the options that I had, I chose to inquire at both programs. I contacted HIHTS and left a message, but I was never given a follow-up. When I contacted MPMTI, I left a message with the administrator (Lin), and the instructor (Jan) called me back the next day. I met with her on that Friday and started my classes on the following Monday. The registration process was quick, easy and affordable. *** They provide students with payment options and work with other resources (Alu like, American Job Center etc.) to help with the tuition cost.*** Let's start with the facility, which is amazing. The class room is spacious with only a maximum of 8 students at a time. It's very clean, organized and has everything needed to succeed in the 6 week course. They also have 2 identical "resident rooms" with all the proper tools and supplies you need to practice your "skills". They give you all the resources you need to learn the material such as, daily handouts, textbook, work book and access to an online classroom where they have videos to learn from as well. They also provide snacks and coffee to enjoy during your breaks. They even offer a supply of scrubs to purchase, if you'd like. ***Free parking is also provided with proof of current vehicle insurance, so there's no need to hunt for parking. Parking is also secure with video cameras.*** During the classes, we are given thorough information on the proper ways to provide care to our community's residents in rehabilitation centers and long-term care facilities. We're taught about medical conditions, signs and symptoms, along with best treatment techniques and how to provide care for activities of daily living. Jan also instilled the importance of our services and care. She stresses the significance of being a CNA that genuinely cares for the residents that depend on them and her extensive knowledge of the medical field is greatly appreciated. We also got to work with residents at Life Care Center, which was a meaningful way to experience the work of a CNA first hand. It gives you an in depth understanding of the skills you learn, how to apply them and how to be flexible and adaptable in a case by case scenario. Overall, Jan and Lin are excellent examples of people who thrive to provide the best education to Hawaii's future CNAs. They really put all their efforts into helping their students be successful in this course. They walk you through the process step by step. They do everything possible to give their students all the assistance they require to do their best, starting from the time that they welcome you, to the finish line - passing your Prometric exam and obtaining your state license. I would recommend MPMTI to anyone who is looking to get or re-cert their CNA cert/license. MPMTI is truly the epitome of an institute that puts their students education and experience at the forefront of what they do. I'm extremely happy with my chose to get my CNA license with MPMTI. Keep up the hard work ladies! You guys are an inspiration and a reminder that good people still exist in the world!

Today, I finished the course and all I have to say is WOW. Overall, the facility and the instructor…read more(Ms. Jan) as well as her right hand administrator (Ms. Lin) were outstanding! The facility is very clean and it has the appropriate supplies to help you become a CNA. Now, as far as Ms. Jan and Ms. Lin, they are both very compassionate and caring people. They want to assure that we succeed after completing the class, and that we share our abilities for a better community! Anyways, I found the class online and I was impressed with their website and the photos that were posted. I contacted the facility and spoke with Ms. Jan over the phone. Over the phone, she briefly discusses how she admits (at maximum) 8 people per class session, which is also posted on the website, then asks if you can come to the facility in-person so she may interview and thoroughly talk to you about the course and what to expect. Altogether, you will feel so confident and motivated to be a CNA after completing the class. You will be disappointed that the class has finished, but you will NOT be disappointed with the class. I highly recommend Mid Pacific Medical Training Institute :) Also, I forgot to mention that the facility sells very cute scrubs at a reasonable price! Call or stop by to see the various types of scrubs that the may have to offer.

Well, maybe not dat close, but within an easy 10-15 minute walk. I spent all 6 years here: coming in as a tiny kindergartener to graduating as a 5th grader. I remember Mr. Daimaru, my stinky 5th grade teacher (he smoked) who we used to call "Mr. Diarrhea" behind his back. :p Mrs. Aileen Fuke was my 3rd grade teacher and one of the most favorite teachers EVER; I was previously assigned to another teacher, but they pulled me & a few other kids from my class to help form her class. We were housed in the portable that used to be located next to the old computer room near the kindergarten building. Here I was, this dirt-poor, academically-challenged (i.e., I never do my homework most of da time), and bullied kid who had little going for her ... Mrs. Fuke was akamai (smart) enough to reward scholastic/personal achievements on a token economy basis (positive reinforcement technique). I flourished under her guidance and I'll never forget her for that. I wonder wea she stay at now?

Well, I got green team and so did my friend. And she also has a sibling who was in gold team. but thats not all. I saw one of my friends when I was picking up my schedule. She got gold team. and she's the oldest child. and I feel like the school is just putting them in teams based on if they had a sibling who was in gold or green. for example; I have a sibling who was in gold and im in green. coincidence? I think not. there is more proof of my theory. all of my friends that are the first one to go to this middle school are in gold team. but all of my friends who have a sibling that was in gold got green. but thats just a theory. I will be talking about this with the office on the 2nd day. and if you think this is a good theory, please change me to gold team for my effort of thinking of this. thank you. my name is Janine Clara Andres

Packed healthy yogurt pretzels and Kumu Flo/Charlene thought it was chocolate and didn't allow my child to eat it or explain that it was yogurt. The calendar constantly changes and they did not really care to check anyone's ID during pick up for safety of the kids in the first week. My child left with a bad taste and it ruined her first day of kindergarten during her real school year. She thankfully came to realize that it was only Haili Christian summer school that's a little wonky. No wonder it was a little cheaper than other summer school places.
