The instructors MS CANO was helpful, supportive, and willing to explain things when I had questions.I learned a lot about patient care, vital signs, medical terminology, EKGs, phlebotomy, and the importance of professionalism in healthcare. I also appreciated the hands-on training because it helped me better understand what to expect in a real clinical environment.I'm grateful for everything I learned throughout the program and for the experience that helped prepare me for my career as a Medical Assistant. I would recommend this program to anyone interested in entering the healthcare field.

I'm writing this as someone who toured the school, not as a former student…read more Scheduling a tour was easy, and everyone I met was friendly. The woman who gave me the tour was warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. What caught me off guard was how quickly a simple tour turned into setting up a FAFSA account and discussing a $17,000 student loan. I remember thinking, Wait...I just came to look around. For me, $17,000 is a lot of money for a massage program--especially when that's on the higher end of tuition. By the time interest is added, you could easily end up paying well over $20,000. That's not a decision anyone should make in one afternoon. I also expected a little more for that price. The facilities weren't bad, but they weren't exactly new or high-end either. If you're charging premium tuition, I'd expect a campus that reflects it--or at least a location that feels a little more upscale. With the economy the way it is, I also wonder about taking on that much debt for a career in an industry that's often considered a luxury expense. My advice: take the tour, ask questions, then go home and think about it. Don't let anyone rush you into borrowing $17,000.

I had the pleasure of being a volunteer at Phlebotomy Training Specialists in the city of Artesia…read more My husband, Terrance and I came out to support our sister Ebony in the completion of her phlebotomy certification. It has a great atmosphere. The environment is very clean and organized. The formant is done very professionally. The training exhibited and performed was as if we were in a medical facility. We were able to ask Ebony lots of questions.We were able to learn a lot about how blood is drawn, the location of the veins and the names of the veins. We also learned why blood may be drawn from specific locations of the body. I was amazed at the wealth of knowledge that our sister was able to learn and exhibit in such a short time. Her instructor, Mrs. Acosta showed exemplary support in the task Ebony was performing. Mrs. Acosta has amazing energy. She was very approachable as well as very knowledgeable. If you know, someone that's considering becoming a phlebotomist, I recommend this School for your training and certification. And if you are in the area drop in to volunteer in helping a student.

I've had great professors, and good professors - none were bad. I've had good experience with the nursing leadership as well. I have been shown kindness and support along the way- I am grateful God led me to AUHS. Ms. Barbara Cook- Strong is a great asset to this University. This woman is worth every coin she makes and much much more. She not only is a fellow animal print lover, but she is a phenomenal student advocate and extremely supportive. I could not imagine the workload that comes with supporting so many students. I am sure she has deadlines galore but somehow the work gets done. Her diligence and desire to see the students succeed is evident. She gives great advice and is gracious and compassionate. I could go on and on about how fabulous she is, but if you ever get a chance to meet her, please treat her as the gem that she is, and nothing less! Lastly, nursing school is not easy, and no institution is perfect- but there is a reason the most recent cohort has 100% passing rate, other cohorts upper 90's at NCLEX. Be prepared to work hard, don't get involved with politics, just pursue your goal and move forward! So far, it is working for me :)

Having recently graduated from AUHS School of Nursing, I feel compelled to share my experience to…read morehelp inform prospective students and their families. I entered the program with a strong desire to learn and serve as a nurse. Instead, I encountered disorganization, mismanagement, and repeated unprofessional and sometimes retaliatory behavior from leadership. These were not isolated events, but part of a recurring, harmful culture that prevents student success. 1. Clinical Hours: Disorganized and Incomplete During our pediatric rotation, AUHS initially failed to provide the 120 required clinical hours. When I asked what would happen if we didn't meet the requirement due to their error, we were told we would have to retake the course. The hours were eventually made up but in a rushed and chaotic way that prioritized survival over education. 2. Retaliation: Punished for Raising Concerns Students who voiced concerns about scheduling were met with hostility. Marilyn Uvero (Provost) interrupted lecture to accuse the class of being "ungrateful." I was given a formal reprimand for respectfully raising concerns in a private meeting. That same day, AUHS added class days without the legally required student consent under CA Ed Code §94898. 3. Dismissed Complaints: No Accountability One clinical instructor canceled sessions with no makeup plan. When reported, including complaints from students and hospital staff, leadership denied the issues and kept the instructor in place. 4. Unsafe Clinical Environment We submitted a formal letter regarding misconduct by Professor Denise Waller. She sent students home for rules never communicated, humiliated students in front of staff, entered a locked psych unit without clearance, and physically grabbed a student's badge. AUHS policy defines this as harassment. No action was taken. 5. Communication Failures Last-minute changes and ignored emails were constant. One clinical day was "likely" moved to Saturday, but no confirmation was ever given. Even getting a bootcamp time required escalating to senior staff after several emails went unanswered. 6. False Advertising: Facilities Not Delivered AUHS promoted a new simulation lab in tours that influenced enrollment decisions. We never used it. Instead, we sat on the floor in crowded rooms and struggled to hear instructors due to faulty equipment. 7. Toxic Culture The former dean was fired early in the program. When students asked what to do, a faculty member said, "Run." Another instructor resigned mid-term due to the abusive behavior of Maria Shearing, Director of Clinicals. Students have been removed from clinicals without cause and told to pay $1,200 to make it up. Most stay silent out of fear. 8. Broken Promises: Tuition Rebate Withheld AUHS promised a $1,000 rebate for passing the NCLEX on the first try, to be issued the Friday of the first week of the next quarter. It has been over three weeks with no update. Multiple students asked, but the school has provided no answers. Some staff care, but they are the exception. AUHS offers no meaningful student support. It often feels hostile, punitive, and indifferent to the chaos it creates. This goes beyond poor organization and at times seems deliberately obstructive. I strongly advise against attending AUHS. If you do enroll, prepare to sacrifice your job, family time, and mental health. The school will not respect your time, concerns, or dignity. Nursing school should be hard because of the content, not because of the school itself. It should also be fair, professional, and focused on growth. AUHS fails across the board.

We brought her here bc I actually like the concept of doing something over and over again to achieve mastery on the subject. My daughter was not struggling in math, however she was not very quick either and we wanted her to be ahead. Anyway, the homework we brought home used to take her so long because she would get so bored and lose interest. Coming into the center was even worse. She would cry before going and tell us how much she hated it. She would say "Mommy they don't teach me anything....All they do is sit me down and make me do the same problems over and over again." Finally, I felt like the that was enough torture for my child. Now I'm searching for a more one on one or more interactive tutoring center. To be fair, the owner was very kind to us. She explained the concept of Kumon so we were aware of there method. Overall, it just wasn't a good fit for my daughter.
