Excellent program, went through LVN program prior to the pandemic. I felt well prepared for my job…read more Although some times were frustrating for my peers and I, it did begin to prepare for the real world of nursing and medical where you have to stand up and advocate for yourself and others, try to make positive changes, and speak up when there are deficits or needs. I am currently prusing my RN, and CCI did prepare me very well ethically and academically compared to my peers. I felt very prepared by my various instructors throughout the program. The program was tough, but medical is even tougher, but so worth it. After graduating, I was able to make enough to support myself and start my family, which was my goal when starting the program. The reason I knocked off a star was that I received phone calls from ECMC Capella loans stating I was behind on my payments and owed them fees. However my loans were not financed through them (I used my previous loan provider, as I already had existing federal loans) and after some back and forth, CCI did release my personal information to this organization without my consent years after I graduated

Today was the final day of my BSN program, and I am incredibly thankful. Finishing this chapter…read morealso made me reflect on an experience I had with Career Care Institute. I originally completed my LVN program at Career Care Institute and graduated at the top of my class. Years later, during a very difficult period in my life, I decided to return to school and continue advancing my education. Because I had previously done well at CCI and had also completed nearly an entire RN program elsewhere, I returned to CCI hoping to transition into their RN program. Unfortunately, my experience the second time around was very different. One of the most disappointing moments was hearing a nursing leader speak negatively about admitting LVNs into the program. As an LVN who had already successfully completed this school's own nursing program, it was incredibly belittling to hear LVNs discussed as though our education and experience somehow made us less capable of becoming RNs. I was given the opportunity to test into the program through expensive challenge exams. After passing one exam, I paid another $500 for the next. That exam was disproportionately concentrated on HIV and HIV pharmacology, and I did not achieve the required score. The testing system then allowed me to reopen the exam without showing me the correct answers. I changed some answers to see whether my alternate choices would have resulted in a passing score, and they did. Instead of asking me what happened, I was accused of cheating and efforts were made to prevent me from entering the program. That experience stayed with me. I felt that assumptions were made about my character and abilities without anyone first trying to understand my intent. I also felt that my status as an LVN was viewed negatively rather than as the nursing foundation that it was. Ironically, I am now grateful that things happened the way they did. Being turned away pushed me toward another nursing program, where I met instructors who encouraged growth rather than gatekeeping. I learned about concepts such as ethnocentrism and even heard nursing instructors openly discuss the culture of "nurses eating their young" and why our profession needs to move away from it. Those experiences helped shape the kind of nurse I want to be. And today, I finished my BSN. So my criticism of Career Care Institute is not coming from someone who could not succeed in nursing school. I succeeded there before, I succeeded after leaving there, and I continued advancing my education. My criticism is about how students are treated along the way. Nursing education should challenge students academically without belittling them, stereotyping them, or making assumptions about their character. Educators have tremendous influence over future nurses, and with that authority should come fairness, self-awareness, and a willingness to ask questions before passing judgment. I hope the school reflects on that, because sometimes the student you underestimate is simply going to take another road to get exactly where they were trying to go.

If you want to transfer to a four-year university, there is a program that helps you navigate through all the courses you need. The transfer counselors care about the students and are more than happy to help them. Their goal is to get you to a university. The student service programs that AVC have is expertly helpful. They have a Learning Center, which is one of the most beneficial areas for students to achieve. There are FREE tutoring services for almost all the courses. From art to engineering, there is most likely a tutor. If not, you can request for one to be found. The only part about AVC that I don't like are the restroom facilities. They are always dirty, and sometimes a majority of toilets don't work or are broken in some way. They are also usually out of soap too, so I have to keep a bottle of hand sanitizer with me. All in all, Antelope Valley College is an outstanding school and is a great place to start if you want to further your education.

A more professional way to handle it would have been just to say "talking to a counselor would give you a better understanding of what fits better for you".

And when I made the decision to leave (I paid for half the school upfront) I was told I would receive money back because I didn't finish. I received 3 emails with 3 separate amounts. I received 2 of the amounts the next day, that was in February. I have called numerous times to inquire about the 3rd check and every time I call, the person who can help me is always on a break or at lunch, so they take down my message and tell me someone will call me back. I've never received a call back. Due to taking care of a sick family member and working, I haven't been able to physically go in. But I also shouldn't have to physically go in for this inquiry. The school treats their students like they are children. They scold you about being professional in your externship when you're still months away from it and have given zero information on externship. Their whole "we're here to support you" spiel is crap. I attended the school for almost 5 months and within that timeframe, they fired 5 staff members and 2 quit or transferred. Save yourself the time and money and go to AVC.
