I would highly recommend Kristopher to anyone going through this process, especially future applicants. Having someone like him makes such a difference! If you get Kristopher as your advisor, he's got you! He's very prompt with his communication. Every time I would email him with a question, he would respond within-I'm not even kidding-like 10 minutes, if that! I never had to sit around waiting days for a response. He made sure to check in on me throughout the process, which I really appreciated. He made me feel comfortable from the start, and I always felt like I could reach out to him whenever I had a question or needed help. It's because of Kristopher that I feel confident this is the program I want to be a part of. His support and communication have given me such a positive impression of the program, and if the instructors and staff are anything like him, I have no doubt that I'm going to have a great experience! read more

I had such a great experience working with Kristopher Rios throughout my entire enrollment process for the ADN-RN program! From the very beginning, he made what could have been an overwhelming process feel so much easier and more personal. He helped me get started, set up my interviews and meetings, answered all of my questions, and guided me through every step all the way up to my acceptance into the program. What I appreciated most about Kristopher was how supportive, responsive, and genuinely invested he was in helping me succeed. He always made sure I knew what was coming next and that I felt prepared throughout the process. Starting nursing school is such a huge step, and having an advisor like Kristopher made such a difference in my experience getting here. Even now that I'm officially in the program, I know I can still reach out to him if I ever have a question or need help with something. I'm so grateful for everything he did to help me get to this point. Definitely my favorite advisor!! read more

I would like to recognize Dolores in Academic Affairs for the RN program. As a student transferring from a different nursing program in Southern California, I truly appreciated the time she took to understand my personal needs, educational background, and individual experience. Dolores was warm, welcoming, and genuinely supportive as I transitioned to Fresno. Her guidance made me feel seen as more than just a student record--she listened carefully, offered thoughtful assistance, and helped make an unfamiliar transition feel much more manageable. I am very grateful for her professionalism, compassion, and commitment to supporting students. Her welcome to Fresno and to the RN program made a meaningful difference in my experience. I look forward to sharing an updated review of the school after I have completed the program. Still, I wanted to acknowledge Dolores now for the positive impact she has already had. read more

Kristopher Rios is a phenomenal advisor! Sometime last year, I called Gurnick for some information about their ADN program as I was about to finish my prereqs. Kristopher was so helpful and kind with providing the information. Earlier this year, once I finished my prereqs, I decided to move forward with this process and Kristopher was more than happy to help guide me throughout it. He is super passionate about what he does and has made me feel so welcomed! He always makes sure his students are updated and will respond super fast. He is such a supportive and caring advisor and has made this process so smooth. read more

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for Kristopher Rios and the exceptional support he provided throughout my nursing application process, entrance and admissions process. From the beginning, Kristopher was professional, knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly helpful in guiding me through each step. He took the time to answer my questions thoroughly, clearly explain requirements and expectations, and ensure I understood what was needed to successfully move forward. His communication was always prompt, encouraging, and professional. What stood out most was his genuine willingness to help and his positive attitude throughout the entire process. Thank you, Kristopher, for helping make the beginning of my nursing journey such a positive experience! read more

I had a very disappointing experience at Gurnick Academy of Medical Arts. I feel the school failed to support students fairly and instead placed the blame on them. I was told I failed by only 0.5 points, which was extremely frustrating, especially when I believe my scores were not calculated correctly. I also feel I was treated unfairly and wrongfully dismissed from the program. Instead of working with me to review my grades or address my concerns, I felt the process lacked transparency and fairness. Students invest a significant amount of time, effort, and money into their education, and they deserve accurate grading and a fair opportunity to appeal decisions. they need to communicates more openly with students, and ensures that every student is treated fairly and respectfully. please sign up petitions if you think you have wrongful terminations from school and i did not get help you need from school instead failing you and scame the money from you. read more

It was a pleasure having Kristopher Rios as my academic advisor! He made the admission process such a breeze and communicated thoroughly with me every step of the way. I definitely appreciate his guidance coupled with his humor! From the start of my admission through my acceptance into the ADN program, Kristopher has continued to show strong support and great attentiveness to the success of students. Thank you for setting such an uplifting and encouraging environment for my start at Gurnick Academy! read more

So far, in my opinion, Gurnick has been really great. My communication with my nursing advisor Kristopher has been nothing short of stellar. He always replies when I have questions and makes sure we get what I need figured out. I start in January and hope to continue to see amazing support and communication from the rest of the staff at Gurnick! read more

DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL AND THINK YOU WILL GET ANY KIND OF HELP! The leadership team does not help at all . I went here for the LVN program and not only was the program a mess but I reached out for help several times and got turned away or forgot about. It is a complete set up for failure! It was the worst experience I ever had. Unfortunately, I did not finish because not only was there no help when asked but the instructors for certain classes are just all over the place so the tests don't match the overall classroom instruction and then out of nowhere. They throw a 10 page assignment on you to complete on top of all of the extensive other work they give you. I also feel like my grades on certain tests were altered in the grading system because the amount of questions that I knew I got right did not match percentage I also got 100% on one of my tests, but it was entered into the grading system as 70%, that's because the teachers are able to go in and put your grade in certain that you take so if they mess up and you don't check it or keep track of then you could lose out on a lot of points.I highly recommend going to a different school for an LVN program. You will definitely not get any help or guidance at this . The only good thing was my advisor Blanca, who tried to help me every way, but she was only able to do so much. read more

Gena Hernandez had made the enrollment process simple and hassle-free. She's great! On the other hand , I do not recommend to veterans using benefits unless you are willing to make multiple phone calls a day. They are not prepared or knowledgeable in this particular area. Seem very money hungry all around. read more

This school presents itself as a professional private institution for healthcare and medical-field training. Unfortunately, the reality does not reflect that image. The level of leadership and basic educational direction is extremely poor. The director appears disconnected from even fundamental academic and professional standards expected in a medical training environment. More concerning is the culture inside the school. A large portion of staff behave in a consistently rude and dismissive manner. Basic professionalism something as simple as courtesy, communication, and respect is noticeably absent. For an institution training future healthcare professionals, the environment is deeply troubling. Instead of promoting teamwork, compassion, and ethical conduct, the school tolerates and, in practice, enables behaviors such as bullying, discrimination, and racism. These behaviors are incompatible with healthcare values and should never be normalized in any educational setting especially one responsible for preparing students to care for patients. Students are not encouraged to support one another. Rather, the culture creates hostility, fear of speaking up, and a lack of accountability. Complaints are ignored, and concerns about staff conduct and student treatment are not taken seriously. I am sharing this review because I genuinely care about healthcare and the standards that must exist in medical education. Institutions like this shape future professionals. When leadership fails to protect a respectful and ethical learning environment, it directly impacts not only students, but the quality of care patients will eventually receive. This school urgently needs serious oversight, leadership accountability, and cultural reform. read more

This institution has been nothing short of a nightmare. As a previous student, I expected a professional, respectful environment where all students are treated equally. Instead, I've faced constant racism, bullying, and systemic discrimination. For the second time in my life, I've been ignored and made to feel like I don't belong in the very country I serve and call my own. Students of color are targeted, belittled, and treated unfairly, while complaints are ignored or brushed aside. The toxic, degrading culture here is not just damaging it's dangerous. How can this institution claim to prepare future healthcare providers when it fails to uphold even basic ethical standards within its own walls? No one should ever feel what I've felt. This program is a disgrace to the medical profession. It needs to be shut down before it continues to churn out professionals trained in such a hostile, unprofessional environment. read more

I have been contacting Dolores and the registrar to see if specific classes meet the prerequisite criteria for the adn lvn to rn program. Dolores was responding, but to no avail. The registrar still has not replied and its been weeks. At this point i just need to vent because im tired of people acting like they cant get around to an email. Like, you signed up for that job, do it or go work somewhere more your speed. Overall, the admission process is grueling since I cant even get validation before spending a thousand dollars on pre reqs. Good thing im not really struggling for work or anything, or this would be more stressful. I do feel for the people really counting on an email back and not getting one. Hopefully, they figure it out soon. Until then, this experience has been lackadaisical and effortless. Thanks again for your help Dolores. Sorry, its not reciprocated throughout the admission process. read more

I am very happy to start at Gurnick Academy & if you are planning on taking the LVN course like I am I recommend speaking to Gena Hernandez, she has been very helpful throughout this whole process. I love how caring & sweet she has been. She got back to me very quickly, even if I messages her after hours. I had so many questions & she answered them all in detail. Big thank you to her! Best of luck to you all & god bless you guys. read more

I would like to say that administration is very helpful. I had Gena as my guide to where I needed to take my next steps in process of enrolling and what to do after that. She always checks in with me to ask if I need help with anything or just to encourage me to keep pushing forward. Thank you Gena. You have been so kind and supportive. read more

I've started just started my nursing degree journey returning to school was a massive change to my everyday life. However this was all facilitated by my wonderful Advisor Gena Hernandez. She broke down and lead me through the whole process of admissions and enrollment. She checks in and encourages my progress through the program. Support from staff at Gurnick Academy shows their commitment to the success of every student. I look forward to what the future hold for me at this institution. read more

Thanks to Blanca in admissions I will be starting my nursing journey. With her help, guidance, and patience I was able to navigate my way through the enrollment process. I tried for a month either via online or over the phone at another gurnick and had just about given up. I thought to call Fresno to see if I could get through to anyone who can help me with my next step in the process .Blanca met with me the next day. She was booked and yet squeezed me in after hearing how frustrated I was, after all I was just eager to start my new career path. She even got ahold of the campus closest to me and helped me set up an appointment so THANKS AGAIN TO BLANCA IN ADMISSIONS FRESNO CAMPUS. read more

Thought about joining until I spoke with a Denise in registration. She was very impatient and disrespectful. Denise is terrible at representing the school. I was told I would be contacted by someone else and never was. I'm glad I got to experience their staff that was all I needed to see. Denise continues to harass me and send me messages after I told her to stop. read more

Alright...this is going to be a very real and honest post regarding this school. I am a recent graduate of the LVN-RN ADN program. I also attended they're LVN program years before. The ADN program is amazing. What makes it amazing? In 8 months you receive guidance from amazing instructors, you are able to do clinicals at amazing hospitals, and you are adequately equipped to take boards after. 1. I cannot speak anymore highly of the amazing staff. Ms. Cabrera, Ms. Otero, Ms. Salvano, Ms. Cacacho, and many others are very knowledgeable and compassionate for their students. They want you to succeed and help in whatever way they can. 2. These instructors also have worked in these local hospitals and have rapport with many staff members. If you do a good job, you will be noticed. Now, don't be fooled by the negative comments people will make. In order to succeed in this program, you HAVE to give your 100%. DO NOT expect things to be handed to you, DO NOT have a terrible attitude to your classmates or your instructors, and DO NOT whine when things are changed or not going your way. True success in this profession comes to those who give it their all and try they're hardest. Those who take shortcuts may be thriving now, but that will soon end. In a nutshell, if I could go back, I would. This program is amazing. If you work hard and do as you're told, you will succeed and you will make it through this program successful. They provide all the tools to allow that to happen. Good luck to those hoping to apply to this program. It is WORTH it. Thank you Gurnick for everything! read more

Do Not Waste Your Time !!! I have attended many colleges and I understand that issues arise. This college takes the cake though. There is no organization, the staff is as fake as they come. They talk sweet to you to get you to enroll and once you do, the avalanche of problems commences. They do not answer calls. Voice messages are left and not returned. Emails are sent with no reply received. They are reckless and do not care one bit about exposing students to Covid-19 forcing them to go to campus when the state is seeing record-breaking spikes. read more

I was trying to enroll in LVN program. 1st off receiving application was a nightmare. My Counselor was great and help me a lot. A nightmare started FINANCIAL AID!!! So not professional, Miss Serrano never return my calls or text messages. I ask reception lady to give phone Miss Serrano and she never did. I am so happy I choose IOT now financial people are very good and very helpful to me. I am very happy I go to IOT now at Clovis. read more

Update: I'm currently in their ADN program and I'd like to say any criticisms I have read on here are no longer true if they were. It's extremely well organized and accommodating. It's a hard program for sure, but that's because it's so accelerated it's to be accepted. So far there hasn't been a student that hasn't passed their NCLEX (some don't pass the first try, but they do eventually). The teachers definitely have your best interests at heart and whenever I have had a hard time they always discreetly offer 1 on 1 help and additional lessons to help me and everyone else out. read more

The counselor Dolores for RN program she was always ready to help and support me, she was responding on my question very quickly and giving me good advise with my application. She is very friendly polite and thank you Dolores very much for helping me applying into RN program. Gurnick needs people like you !!!!! read more

Thinking about Ultrasound? RUN!!! MONEY HUNGRY ORGANIZATION!! This is by far the worst vocational school if not in Fresno, the world!! Administration is poor at communicating with students but that is the least of your worries! The program director and her brigade will expect you to know everything without teaching you at the start of the program. The professors will give you snarky responses if your ask questions in class, and belittle you. After a few months into the program, your cohort will be merged with another whom of which is weeks away from graduation, and your class will be so far behind, professors will expect you to have the same level of knowledge as them. More than half of students in the program were dropped due to teachers failing students, after students pleaded for help and did everything they could to pass. C's are failing in this program. Anything below a 65% you will be dropped. You only get two chances to remediate (repeat) a course out of the 10+ you have to complete over the course of two years. If you fail any more courses after those two remediations, you will get expelled. If you get sick like any normal human being, you can only miss three days per section, anything more than three, you will get expelled. After they expel you, they will of course follow up with you and ask you to "reapply" so they can get more money out of you in the future. This is the only time you'll hear from administration! Ultrasound machines are outdated, and nothing like the ones you will use in your job. There are more opportunities to fail in this program than succeed! Trust that they are setting you up for failure!!! If you're looking to waste two years of your life, lose 60k, and self-teach yourself how to be an ultrasound tech for a career you're not prepared for, than this must be the place for you!! read more

I am super proud to say I am a Gurnick Alumni. I have had the opportunity to travel as an LVN and now I have a wonderful job at the hospital. I would not be here with out Gurnick helping me make my dreams come true. Mrs. Molina was definitely my guiding angel along the way. Now I plan on furthering my education, Lorena the Admissions Assistant is super helpful, super friendly. She is super knowledgeable and professional. She definitely helped me make my decision to finish at Gurnick as opposed to attending any other school. read more

Too many bad things to mention. My biggest problem is the refusal to send official transcripts that I paid for. I don't owe the school any money and graduated 7yrs ago from . I ordered official transcripts August 2019, it's now March 2020 and, I never received them. I have called the Fresno campus was told they can't do anything and to call the cooperate office. I have left voicemails for the cooperate officer with no response. I don't know what else to aside from reporting this to the State. I'm sure they'll respond to this Yelp review, but not my phone calls ?! read more

Not going to lie it's a tough 1 year LVN course. The teachers really do push you pass your limits, to be a better version of you though. Stick to to your homework regime, and you'll pass any finals with flying colors. I can honestly say, the teachers were strong supporters of me. The financial department could use more experienced personnel, that's why I didn't give it a 5 star. read more

I was apart of the first LVN to RN cohort and I can honestly say this program has changed my life. Not enough can be said about the instructors, program director and assistant program director. Mrs Sanchez Mrs Duarte and Mrs Cabrera responded to our emails, addressed our concerns and cared for us like no other. Many times we relied on them for support and were never let down. I as many of my classmates made many sacrifices. Towards the last 2 weeks of the first 15 weeks session I gave birth to my little girl. My teachers and classmates were very supportive. They even gave me a baby shower when I returned to class. They became my second family. You must dedicate your self and fully trust the process of this program. I am currently working at my local hospital and applying to BSN programs. This program is worth it. read more

Negative stars if possible. My last post was reported when all I stated was the truth and my experience at Gurnick. Worst experience I have ever had. Teachers are there for paycheck only. They do not help you when needing help in class, clinical instructor was always late and would fall asleep in the conference room. Psych instructor would talk inappropriately on her children during lecture as a "teaching method". Teachers and program coordinator also threaten you with being expelled if you raise any concerns about patient safety at clinical site. This school is just a bunch of bullies who don't care about student's but will gladly take your money. DO NOT GO TO GURNICK!!!! read more

ADN-RN program Graduate cohort 2 :I was part of the LVN-RN program. I have nothing but good things to say about this school. If it wasn't for Gurnick I would have never even made it into a RN program. I did make a few sacrifices and even relocated to Fresno to pursue my education. I was truly invested in pursuing my education to the best of my ability.The staff and instructors here are so supportive and they truly care about your success. They will go out of their way to make sure you succeed and push you to your fullest potential. Mrs. Cabrera, Mrs.Sanchez, and Mrs. Duarte are the best mentors to have if you want to become a successful RN. Even the people at the front desk were polite and helpful. I went through so many ups and down and I couldn't have made it through the program without Mrs.Cabreras support. They offered amazing clinical sites where I was really able to apply my skills and knowledge. I had the best experience at clinicals! The best part of clinicals was that you get rotated In different departments at the best hospitals in Fresno, so if your looking to get that hands on experience this program is perfect. They have everything up to date at this school including the homework as well. Homework was done through an online system that is really vital for your success as a RN and to prepare you for the exit exam and NCLEX-RN. I highly recommend this program for those individuals that truly want to become a prudent and efficient nurse and are willing to put in the hours, dedication, and sacrifices to succeed. The program is intense and challenging but those challenges will only help you become a stronger and better nurse. I am currently in a BSN program at a Cal state university and I was able to do that with this program as my first step. Over all I highly recommend this program read more

I graduated from Gurnick LVN Fresno campus. This program is ACCELERATED meaning there will be many times where you will have to review content on your own time and make sure you fully grasp it. You will get out what YOU choose to put in. This instructors are very helpful, if you're willing to reach out and ask for help then help will always be given. My cohort had the opportunity to be overseen by Mrs.Cabrera, I can say sooo many wonderful things but I will cut to the chase, she is always willing to go above and beyond for her students, she will help you with anything or lead you in the direction you need in order to get your questions/problems resolved. Mrs.Cabrera has the biggest heart and a lot of intelligence, she knows what she's doing. Don't be scared of all the negative comments, DEDICATE yourself and stay TRUE to your goals, and they will become a reality. Wish you all the best!!!! read more

I graduated from Gurnick's LVN program in October 2021. I would highly recommend this school to anyone wanting to get into nursing. The instructors there are the best! The program itself is an accelerated program so it's not easy. BUT,as long as you put the time in and do the work, if you have a problem and tell one of the instructors or administrators and they will do everything that they can to help you. The clinical instructors are amazing. Some of them can be tough but it's only because they want you to be the best nurse that you can be and the didactic instructors are so knowledgeable and try their best to make the content easy to understand even if you are a healthcare newbie like me. My cohort was the first group that Mrs. Cabrera directed and she did an amazing job. She really went out of her way to make sure that each of us was successful, not to say there wasn't a few hiccups on the way but honestly I feel like that's to be expected when you go to nursing school during a pandemic (lol). They made sure that we always had clinical sites to go to (which I know was not easy, again, because of the pandemic) so that we could complete all of our required clinical hours. I honestly feel like I learned so much and feel ready to get on the floor. Thank you Gurnick! You changed my life for the better read more

I went to the orientation, and was interested. Before deciding about applying for there RN program I wanted to know exactly how much it would be in total, as I was told that since I've already taken some of the pre requisites there would be a deductions. Before meeting with the financial aid department you are to submit all required information, include your application which is $65. I personally think that if a school is really interested in the students then they will do everything possible to ensure that there incoming students have all the knowledge of how the school runs. I feel like the school is very money hungry, I would of at least expected that you could speak with the financial department for free since the program is so expensive. I would never become a student here I can only imagine how this program is ran, if it's only focus is the income there bringing in. read more

As a graduate from Gurnick's LVN program in 2016, I was promised and guaranteed from them that I would get into their LVN to RN bridge program in August 2018 by one of their Admissions Advisor. They had me take all of their prerequisite courses which cost over $11,000.00, which I completed. I also completed all the requirements they said was needed to get into their program; took and passed the TEAS test, turned in all my documents including registration application, essay, letter of recommendation, college transcripts, HS diploma, you name it! Even went in for an interview! Their admissions advisor even told me in July to adjust my schedule at work to prepare for class, which I did and lost my spot but I would come to find out 3 days before the start of class that I wasn't selected! I was devastated, as I had adjusted my whole life to accommodate the education that Gurnick promised. I spoke to the admissions advisor again and she told me that if I I didn't get into the one last August, that I would get into the January class. Well, here I am; haven't even heard anything back from them. I can't believe I've been fooled by the people I thought I trusted. I had always backed up Gurnick's name, despite all the negative talk people say about them, but now, I cannot loyally defend Gurnick anymore. They did me wrong and a lot of other people included. Now, I believe they only select people who they know they won't have to give a discount to; people who will be billed the whole $42-80,000. If I were you, I would choose wisely and spend my money elsewhere. If I would've trusted all the reviews people gave on Gurnick before, how dirty and cheating they are, I would've took my business and education elsewhere! Never again! read more

Do yourself a favor don't go to this program I went to gurnick Concord campus over 7 years ago and graduated with my LVN things have changed. I heard about the Fresno campus finally getting approved for their ADN i also heard they had a brighe from lvn to adn. So when i called the lady was rude she asked me if i had my general education done i told her no so she tried to refer to their LVN AS program i asked her if the school had a LVN to ADN bridge she rudely said they don't call it that. The LVN AS program is a waste is $15,000 plus there is no guarantee even if you're a former student that you will get in, so why would i waste my money and then the staff is rude on top of that. So basically i would spend my hard earn money for an associates degree and there is no guarantee the classes are transferrable or that i will get in... Yea No! I'm not wasting my time or money. I'll leave gurnick in the past like i did 7 years ago. I warn you! Don't go here go to a regular community college get your prerequisites for free and then apply somehwere else besides here its a waste of money . read more

This school is a dump. Don't go here. Terrible administration, money-hungry corporate shills, and run-down clinical site choices. I can't believe I wasted any money or time on this place. CA BRN, take away their accreditation! read more

Terrible, terrible school. Where to begin... First, Lisa was a terrible Academic Director, she told the students lies about the HESI being a BVNPT requirement (it's not!) and would change policies (regarding making up hours) with hardly any advance notice. She makes it a requirement to attend D&D after your mandatory hours are over which was the biggest waste of time because no one will be taking the NCLEX for at least another 5-6 months so hardly any of it stays fresh in your mind. Second, the school has a ridiculous policy of waiting to submit your BVNPT paperwork in until AFTER you pass the HESI (which, again, is not a requirement for licensure) further defeating the point of having D&D sessions right after 4th module ends. The school has no OB or pediatric rotations, the psych rotation is a joke (Alice Manor for 12 weeks? You could learn everything you need to know from that place after one week.), and the acute facility is 1.5 miles away albeit it is a somewhat decent one. Third, what was the point of sending us to poverello house or the "health fair" (really, babysitting) at Chuckchansi park? Oh I know, to make the school look good. They didn't give a d*** about if it provided any sort of educational opportunity for us. I'm sorry, but I didn't spend that kind of money to babysit someone else's kids or serve food; I spent it to learn to become a nurse. Oh, and what about Medi-man? Was he just for looks and to impress potential students? He was never used not even once the entire time I attended there. Fourth, the assignments for OB, Peds, and the "process analysis" were a joke. Either fix the topic or get rid of them altogether. Nothing is gained from those assignments except wasted time and energy worrying about them. Lastly, some of the didactic instructors were a joke. Reading off of power points without any sort of explanation does not count as "teaching". I read all of the chapters before class and noticed that the teachers even sometimes told us the wrong information (when it was CLEARLY written in the book). Furthermore, I was astounded at the lack of professionalism when it came to dealing with the administration. Short response: Don't go here. Not worth the $30,000+. read more

I would not recommend this school or its ADN program. It is extremely disorganized. This school gave me the run around from day 1. Admissions department did not know when it would be approved or when the first day of classes was. I did not think it would get approved by their disorganized manner. They have a preliminary approval which I'm sure will be taken away if they continue to run the program the way it is being ran. The school mistakingly gave me credit for all of my prerequisite courses. I as an honest individual let them know that the only courses I should be given credit for are English classes. I have a bachelors from a UC in addition to a post grad degree, was told by admissions that the process of getting credit for prerequisites is too tedious and that classes should be easy for me. Anita Dayal just wanted me to pay more and complete my file and get her job completed. She then threatened me when I went to administration in order to figure out why I was taking English classes and having to read poems when I had graduated with a Bachelors in legal studies and attended law school. The administration did not correct this issue as it should have but told me to leave or reapply. I continued and during this program my GRANDMOTHER passed away. I was not in the best state so had an issue with the very English class I should have been credited for. The professor for this class offered a remedial assignment. I stated that I would like to pass the class and would get back to her shortly because I was not able to focus on school on the day of death of my grandmother. The Director of the program Karen Hobson, who is a heartless, woman who has no understanding or human decency or respect for others and is allowed to run a program by the greedy money hungry institution of Gurnick said despite my grandmothers death said I should have instantly told the professor that I would do a remedial assignment and not need a day or two to focus on my family and mourn. This school is not worth your time and money, if you have any self respect I extremely urge you to stay away and apply to a school that is recognized with respect by the healthcare community. This school most definitely is not. read more

ADN program graduate. ADN #1 cohort. Professors and clinical instructors and administrative staff aswell as supplemental staff at the Fresno campus for Nursing have been a world of help. They provided nothing but the best advice and support to myself as an lvn to rn student. Mrs. Duarte and Mrs. Cabrera were vital in managing my faults and helping me figure out a plan to improve and regain my confidence. I personally feel like all the staff from the ADN program truly cared for me and were truly invested in my success. The entire staff was phenomenal from the top Mrs. Sanchez down to the front desk employees. I have nothing but great experiences from our program. I will admit that I was 100% invested in my education and relocated to Fresno and although it was tough at times I made it through by staying focused and taking responsibility for my own learning needs and reaching out to the professors and adjunct staff as needed. Many students were proactive and achieved success in this program. I personally wanted to take the time and endorse the program to students who are mature and responsible enough to become RN's. Will definitely recommend to friends and family. read more

Seriously the worst school ever. Such a waste of my time and money When I first went to the orientation I asked the lady named Erica about some of the things I had read here on yelp about the school she assured me I would never have a problem that she would take care of that and reassured that all of those comments had happened BEFORE she had come to work there. Seriously I should have trusted yelp. I messages her about 9 times called her office left her voicemails and not once did she get back to me . It is sooooo unprofessional . Their extremely nice when you sign up but the second you have an issue is the second they turn their backs on you. Very bad experience !!!!!!!!!! I can't express how bad my experience was with Ms. Erica Perez . The worst. read more
