I have been an EMT since 1974, and I found Abrams College to have one of the best EMT classes I've…read moreever attended. I recently took their Phlebotomy class and thoroughly enjoyed it. Kyle is an excellent Phlebotomy instructor and Tara and Uriah are excellent skills instructors. I passed the NCCT exam first time around and obtained my State CPT license within 2 months of the first class. The administration and office staff were extremely helpful in preparing all of the paperwork I needed to submit for the national exam and for my state license. I've passed the NREMT exam and the NCCT exam successfully because of Abrams College, and possess a Calif state EMT license and Calif state Phlebotomy license as a result. Bear in mind, both classes were a lot of work and required my full attention. My guess is those who had bad experiences here had them because they didn't put in the work required for their own success. The staff here is here to help you succeed, but if you're not there to help yourself succeed, then don't waste your time or money! And this is true of any school you attend! If you are looking for the knowledge and skills needed for a new career and you're willing to put in the work, Abrams College is the place.

Business owner and teacher were extremely unprofessional. Owner will not listen to any criticism or…read morecomplaints and instead yells at the class and tells us to leave if we aren't happy. Teacher was let go three weeks into the six week course because she was not lecturing and would leave the classroom multiple times a day. No formal apology was given by owner. The owner took over the class and spent half of his time talking about his political views, which made me and other students uncomfortable. I got the highest grade in the class (no thanks to the course but to hours of studying) and was asked to come back for FREE to help teach the class. The classroom environment was no place for learning and could not even be compared to any high school course I've taken. Please don't give your money to this business.

My journey with Gurnick Academy was not a straight path. I initially enrolled at the Sacramento…read morecampus, but I was distracted by life and did not take my education as seriously as I should have. I ended up failing during my prerequisite courses, leaving me with a $1,500 debt that I had to repay before I could try again. When I decided to return to nursing school, I carefully researched my options and chose the Modesto campus. Although both campuses were about 40 miles from where I lived, the commute to Modesto felt more manageable. More importantly, the Modesto campus felt like home. The support I received from the instructors and administrators went far beyond academics. They not only taught me how to become a nurse, but how to become a good nurse. Those lessons will stay with me throughout my career and for the rest of my life. My biggest piece of advice to future students is simple: read the books. Do not rely solely on Quizlet or shortcuts. Read the chapters, take handwritten notes, and put in the work. I am not the smartest person in the room, but I worked hard and gave this program my full effort. I want to express my sincere appreciation to Tu, Mr. Bennie, Ms. Laura, Amber, both Stephanies, and Stephanie at the front desk, who always answered my questions and every phone call. I am especially grateful to Stephanie Kelly, my first clinical instructor, as well as Ms. Maria, MJ, Ms. Nisha, and Tina, the nurse at my clinical site. Because of the guidance, encouragement, and support of these incredible individuals, I successfully became a licensed nurse. Today, I am proud to be working as a nurse in San Francisco. Thank you, Gurnick Academy Modesto, for helping me achieve a goal that once felt out of reach.

I recently completed my LVN program (VN-90) at Gurnick Academy, Modesto location, and I am very…read moregrateful for this experience. The program offers a detailed and well-structured syllabus with excellent clinical exposure. The variety of clinical facilities helped me effectively connect theory with real nursing practice. The instructors are experienced, dedicated, and bring different teaching styles, which made learning engaging and meaningful. I would like to personally appreciate Ms. Mandeep Kaur for her excellent Med-Surg lectures and deep understanding of physiology. Ms. Dawn Hayek delivered outstanding OB lectures; her teaching style, expressions, and clinical insight made her lectures more valuable than textbooks. Ms. Laura impressed me with her energy and experience-based Pharmacology teaching. Ms. Charmaine brought strong expertise in PEDS and NICU, adding depth to her lectures. Mr. Phil Waymire played a key role during MOD IV and Capstone by helping tie everything together. His SIMS knowledge and rationales truly empowered students. I also appreciate Ms. MJ, Ms. Jess, and Ms. Ashita for being kind, supportive, and knowledgeable. The clinical instructors were exceptional. Ms. Antonieta Largoza is thorough and disciplined, ensuring strong fundamentals. Ms. Linda White is passionate and inspiring, and Ms. Alicia Grigsby has a unique teaching style with excellent student camaraderie. Special thanks to Ms. Tu (Director) for her coordination with students, Mr. Benne (VN Coordinator) for always advocating for students and resolving issues promptly, and Mr. Jay and Ms. Brenda (Clinical Coordinators) for their constant support and responsiveness. I also appreciate Mr. Tony (Security) for maintaining a safe and caring environment. Kudos to Ms. Kari, Ms. Sharjani, Mr. Veneet, Ms. Lori, and Ms. Edail Odisho for their continued support. My classmates were caring and supportive throughout the program, and I truly witnessed the nurturing spirit of future nurses among them. As a constructive suggestion, adding tutors with strong clinical and pathology-based knowledge could further enhance student understanding and learning outcomes. Overall, Gurnick Academy feels like a family, not just an institution. I hope the Modesto location introduces an RN program in the future and offers scholarships for continuing students.
