I would've done 1 star but I don't want to be too rude. My experience at VNS was…read morevery...interesting. Miss Josie thinks highly of herself, which is fine but she doesn't need to remind everyone that she is #1 every single day. She has no problem calling someone stupid or how she likes to say "no coconut meat" or "mulala". She had no shame on calling one of the other students "Mulala" and had no shame on doubting one of the students. She continually would say "I think ____ quit" or "I think ____ isn't going to make it as a CNA" as a teacher it is not your job to doubt a student but to encourage them. Also she can't hear a majority of the time which was quite annoying and $1600+ for the program is too much in my opinion, I did the M-F AM class, it was TORTURE. Be prepared to sit in a small room listening to Miss Josie talk on and on and on, about things that shouldn't even be mentioned in a class, AND about very personal things. The scrubs and handbook and fingerprints not being part of the $1600 price is ridiculous. $1600 is already so much and she's too cheap to include the other important necessities!? We also didn't get a graduation, which is ridiculous, just because we were are small class doesn't make us any less deserving of a graduation, she told us we'd take the final exam and have a graduation just for her to offer us a graduation the next day (after the final exam) which is crazy, we don't have free time we have jobs and school and things we need to do, it could've been planned better. Clinicals was actually pretty great, it was refreshing to not be in a lecture for 8 hours a day. I would think twice before choosing this school, I only chose it because it was closest to me, but I'd definitely choose another school if I could start over. Please choose a school that will pay for you state exams, scrubs, handbook, etc. also it's a bit weird how this school is "SO Great" and "Ms Josie is #1" when there's only 11 google reviews and only 6 yelp reviews when this school has been open since the 90's...makes you really wonder.....let's see how long this post lasts. Good luck to everyone attempting.

I went to this CNA school while my friend went to another one so we were able to compare which is…read morebetter. Hands down, this CNA school is THE ONE. The other schools rushed their students too much and didn't guide them that well with the process of getting licensed. Vallejo Nursing School is the complete opposite. Josie is very knowledgeable and will teach you all the things you need to know to be licensed and if you are struggling, she's very patient and passionate in helping you. She provides nourishments to keep our brain active because of the long hours and keeps us entertained along the way during clinicals. She makes all of us feel like a family and all of us were very comfortable with each other considering the amount of days of only getting to know each other. It's as if the place is a safe place to be. And I was there during the peak of the pandemic. Now comes for the hard part, review week and the state exam. I have test anxiety and this was my first actual "state" exam so I was so nervous and was counting down the days to get it over with. Josie along with her staff are great support system and will NEVER make you feel alone. I sometimes get off track and lost but they're so patient and will guide you UNTIL YOU GET THAT LICENSE. THEY CARE SO MUCH. If you're considering becoming a CNA and is looking for a good school, this is it!

This dysfunctional company is by far the WORST. If you are considering doing business with them I…read moresay DO NOT use them they are HORRIBLE! I started the process over a year ago speaking with Lynn Orr. She was a recruiter. She was nice and I thought she did a good job getting me enrolled and ready to start with MTS. My scheduled start date was a few weeks away. Time flew by, and with just 2 days away from when I was supposed to start I had not heard from Lynn or the MTS. I called and was told that Lynn quit her job abruptly. Gee I wonder why? So I spoke with another recruiter who basically said I fell through the cracks. 2 days later I started the training. The classroom training was terrible! We watched a Zoom Meeting with a trainer who I could not understand as the sound quality was bad! On day 2 we had a different trainer and I could understand her better. But the training was her giving the answers to the upcoming DMV test. Over 200 answers. I asked her, how am I supposed to know this material if we never went over it? She said "well by giving you the answers you can start to understand" After the 2 days we were told that we were ready to go to the DMV and take the Permit tests. I was kind of shocked, but I did go to the DMV and I passed the tests to get a Permit although I felt I had very little comprehension of the material but I was good at cramming in the answers I guess? Next was the behind the wheel training which was scheduled for the following week. I reviewed some paperwork which indicated that I had to have the physical / drug test before I could do any behind the wheel driving. I called the office irritated that they did not catch this. I brought it to their attention, and then I had to go for the physical / drug test. Then I had to wait another week for the results. This set me back! After the results I met with my driving instructor named Vang. He gave me a script to follow for the pre-trip inspection. The driving part was easy for me as I had previously driven many large vehicles such as a motorhome pulling a boat so I was comfortable and did well with that part. But the hardest part is to demonstrate the pre trip inspection with a DMV examiner. I failed the pre trip demonstration 3 times, so I did not even make it to a road test. The examiner each time told me I omitted some required items, such as actually saying that I was measuring the tire pressure with a commercial tire pressure gauge, and measuring the tire tread with a commercial tire tread measuring gauge. I had simply followed the script that Vang gave word for word. I said and the tire pressure needs to be this psi, and the tread depth has to be this. Apparently not using the correct verbiage can be a reason to fail the test. The examiner said that I did not mention the onboard camera for monitoring, I said my trainer never mentioned that at all. When I failed the Air Breaks portion which is an automatic fail, it was because of the verbiage that I did not say correctly. Although I was following the script provided by Vang. I went into the DMV and complained to a Supervisor. I was with Vang, the DMV Supervisor pulled out the Commercial Truck Drivers California Handbook, and showed both of us the actual verbiage that must be stated otherwise it is a fail. This verbiage was not in my script!!! I finally passed on my 4th attempt, although I had to go back to the DMV and re-take the permit tests because after 3 fails they take away your permit. I only passed on the 4th attempt because I used the correct verbiage provided to me from the DMV not MTS. In conclusion, if you can find another trucking school to go with, trust me you will do yourself a huge favor. These people are scammers in my opinion!
