We knew that they were very busy with the process of obtaining financing for their students, but the Director, Dr. Ignacio called my wife for her interview and two days later we were signing the admission documents.

The staff are so kind and driven to get students graduated, especially professor Panlilio! I have had professor Panlilio for 3 classes now and have thoroughly enjoyed each course, her exuberance for teaching nursing is so incredible. Lectures can be so long and through the entire time she speaks with energy keeping it entertaining. She also has many years of experience and speaks of things that the book may miss. Professor Panlilio is my favorite and I would recommend Marsha Fuerst to anyone looking to get into nursing.

I would not recommend Marsha Fuerst School of Nursing based on my personal experience. Nursing…read moreschool is already extremely demanding, but my experience was made significantly more stressful by issues with communication, grading transparency, consistency, and student support. One of my biggest concerns was the way grading policies and academic expectations were communicated and applied. There were times when it was difficult to get clear answers about how grades were calculated or how certain policies were being applied. When your ability to progress or graduate can come down to a fraction of a percentage point, students deserve complete transparency and consistency from the beginning. Students invest an incredible amount of time, money, sacrifice, and effort into becoming nurses. They should not have to fight for clarification about their grades or feel uncertain about whether the policies outlined to them are being applied consistently.

Karina helped me with my resume after the first part of the class was over and helped me find my externship. A special thank you to my instructor, Dulce, she was truly one of the highlights of the course. I had her during the second half of the program in person. This was where we were doing hands on learning with injections, blood draws, finger pricks, etc.. She was knowledgeable, funny, patient and always made sure we understood the material. Dulce guided us through the entire process and made sure we were prepared for our externships. I feel confident from what she taught us and definitely will be using the tips and tricks she shared with us. I used MYCAA to attend as my husband is a marine so I attended on a scholarship. I would absolutely recommend this school to anyone pursuing a career in medical assisting.

She even gave us false information and when I provided her with the right answer she gave me attitude in front of the whole class, only to be corrected by the headmaster the next day and not apologize to me. Under different circumstances I wouldn't care much to have to deal with Holly treating us like middle schoolers the entire course, but I paid over $2,000 for this course; in the least they could have competent professors.

She has had tons of experience working in the field, so you know you're in good hands! The theory portion of the class was fast and somewhat vague at times but it all made sense once we got to the skilled nursing facility for our clinicals. My instructor was on the floor with us everyday during clinicals. The first day was a bit overwhelming but over time, I felt very comfortable interacting with patients and performing skills. By the end of the clinicals, my classmates and I felt more than prepared for our test. We were lucky that our state exam was scheduled the day after we officially finished the course. Everyone in my class passed!! Shoutout Ms. Lauren for being the best instructor!! This was such a great program and I would highly reccommend it to anyone looking to get certified or gain hands on experience/hours for PA/NP/Med School etc.!!

I highly recommend, a great alternative with even better results…read more I'm writing this review on behalf of my son who recently completed the full-time CNA program at Healthcare Science Academy in Chula Vista and I can confidently say it was money well spent. Originally, we looked into a CNA program at a location nearby...they had too many applicants. That's when I searched around the area and found this school, and honestly, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The program was well structured, the instructors were incredibly knowledgeable and supportive and the learning environment was professional and encouraging. He had a thorough clinical rotation at a skilled nursing facility/rehab nearby. My son learned so much during the course and more importantly he PASSED his CNA exam on the first try (btw, he really studied hard and practiced blood pressures, checking respirations and heart rate on each of our family members.) One of the best parts is that all the credits are transferable. He's on track to apply to further his education and pursue a career in nursing. I highly recommend Healthcare Science Academy. They truly care about their students success and provide the tools needed to succeed.

My experience is just so great! I would like to extend my greatest to deepest gratitude to Ms. Tuba…read moreThe owner, (CEO), Director, Mentor and our number 1 supporter. Thank you to Dr. Rey or Ray our HHA Instructor for always having that backing support to us. (most especially days before the state exam). Ms. Amber for being our most understanding instructor from our CNA class. Our class needs a lot of efforts to make our own self-review. (ofcourse its a matter of doing your own part as well as a student and dont just rely on instructors). If you want to have a better communication, information and update i may suggest going straight to Ms. Tuba. Go to her office and personally look for her. She's one of the most reliable you can ever speak to. Ms. Jasmine the girl who always give everyone a big smile can give you information as well, she's so welcoming and trust me, i feel so comfortable asking her questions (more than the others) who cuts me off and out and got no response at all. Ms. Tuba is the one and very first person i always go to. And i thank her for all. So much Gratitude as i may say! My reviews are pretty much blunt but truly polite. I would like to thank Ms. Wilma, as she never gets tired of handling make up class students (who never cared to listen) But im not one of them. I am the person who listen, never really gets tired to listen. Because from listening comes with learning, and with learning comes with knowledge and with knowledge comes with power. Thank you. p.s I mentioned those that had given me the greatest impact of change. From being a banker, business owner, Guidance counselor to Instructor (from other country). now shift to Health care. If you want a special treatment and much of attention like a VIP - youre not fitted to enroll here. But if your purpose it to learn, only just to learn and have the knowledge you can fit here. Again, If you want to have all information you needed, GO STRAIGHT TO MS. TUBA. (she responds even in the middle of her tight schedules and sorry! In the middle of the night) only to just give you information and get you to the nearest possible schedule to take. Gracias! SDMC

DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL! NOT WORTH THE MONEY OR…read moreHEADACHE! They overcrowd the class & have old worn out/old supplies & items. The class is way to small to small to study skills because they only care about getting the most students in to make as much money as possible.

Save your time and money and don't get yourself tied up with these people. Incompetent rude amateurs.

I signed in, and was welcomed right on time for my appointment that I had with Kimberly G. She was amazing at making me feel welcomed. She told me about the programs I had asked for more information on in detail. She was clear with the information she gave me. I needed guidance on two separate programs, and she was so graceful in giving me all of the information that I needed to consider the school. She always asked if I had questions and never made my questions sound dumb. Kim booked me for some testing and gave me a tour. It is small, but will expand soon. I was very impressed by this university. Kimberly G was the best advisor for me, and anyone who needs guidance on their next steps in healthcare should consult with her. Thank you Kimberly!

DO NOT attend this school. Please read before enrolling. I TRANSFERRED TO THE SAN DIEGO LOCATION,…read moreBUT I CAME FROM THE OC LOCATION. The only reason I'm still here is because l'm too deep into my program to transfer. They WANT young, aspiring and scared people to come here because we don't consider rating, reviews, money. but please do your research before confirming enrollment. This school isn't what they say it is. While the accreditations are real, the way the school works is demeaning. You have no power, the student handbook is only written out because the bppe states that every university needs one, but stanbridge is not a school that cares for their students. I used to attend Yasith Weerasuriya's Orange County location, one of four campuses under his ownership. But now I am at the San Diego location. This nursing school is for-profit, and it shows--they're here to make money off of students, not to support our education. From the moment you get in, things change fast. The person who helped you through the enrollment process? They disappear. You'll never hear from them again. After that, you're left to deal with counselors (called SSOs)--and if you're lucky, you'll get one who actually cares. But even then, they have no power. They're not allowed to fix anything that matters. The professors? They don't really teach. Most are kind people stuck in a system where they have to say, teach, and grade exactly how the dean or administrators tell them to. They are at the bottom of the chain, controlled by Yasith and his team. It's like watching puppets being forced to dance. One day, the dean came into our class and said, "I'm sure you guys came here because you didn't get accepted anywhere else." Whether that's true or not, it was harsh, disrespectful, and completely unnecessary. Many of us came here because we wanted to become nurses quickly but this school makes that dream harder, not easier. I've personally witnessed students get unfairly failed and dismissed, even when their work followed the rubric. Professors can fail you just because they don't like you. And don't bother with the appeal process, it's just a delay tactic. They don't read them, they just deny you after a few days and we all get the same email. Why aren't there more lawsuits? Great question. That's because before you even start, they make you sign an arbitration agreement. What is that? An arbitration document means you're giving up your legal right to sue them in court. If something unfair happens, you can't file a lawsuit or be part of a class action. Instead, you have to settle things privately, through a process that usually favors the school. Most students don't even realize what they're signing. Oh, and Yasith the owner? He has no nursing background. His degree is in engineering, yet he's making decisions that affect your education and future nursing license. On top of that, the public face of the school, Victoria S., is just the social media director, not the owner or founder. If they're misrepresenting that, what else are they hiding? I've seen so many students dismissed for no valid reason and am terrified of getting dismissed from the San Diego location. Many believe it's to fund the campus I now go to, the newer San Diego campus. (This campus) This school is a money scheme. If you're serious about becoming a nurse and want to be respected and supported in your journey, go somewhere else. This place will take your money, your time, and your peace of mind and leave you with nothing in return. If you do decide to come here, keep a paper trail. And do not be afraid to speak your voice. They can not treat you unfairly due to you speaking up. Don't be afraid of them. They run off of scared individuals. THIS REVIEW IS GOING TO CONSTANTLY BE UPDATED THROUGHOUT MY TIME HERE. 5/9/2025
