The school library is always closed. No staff are available to answer questions. It would be nice if there was more resources for students.

As an alumni, it was great. The professors were good and it was the key to launching me to a successful career at Sacramento State.

Please read before enrolling. I have just graduated from this LVN program, and I can honestly say…read morethat throughout the entire 12 months, the program was extremely unorganized. Module 1 was by far the most difficult not because of the material itself, but due to poorly prepared instructors who did not seem knowledgeable about what they were teaching, along with administration that relied heavily on fear and intimidation rather than support. Module 2 continued with the same issues. When I reached out for help regarding a class concern, I contacted Mr. Baca, the VN coordinator, and received a very cold, dismissive response. There was no compassion, no guidance, and his demeanor was unprofessional, rude, and insincere. This lack of support was consistent throughout the program. Module 3 was overall the easiest academically; however, the Med-Surg 2 instructor was frequently absent and displayed petty behavior, which further reflected the program's lack of structure and accountability. Module 4 was the one exception. Dawn, the OB instructor, was exceptional--she is one of the most passionate and dedicated nurses I have ever met. Ms. Charmaine, the instructor thats a NICU nurse was also outstanding and truly amazing. These two instructors were the highlight of the program and the only ones who genuinely cared about student learning and success. Along with Jay the clinical instructor, he holds a lot of passion for what he does. I did pass the exit exam and have completed the program. I would only recommend this school to individuals who are 100% committed to becoming a nurse, highly resilient, and capable of navigating a program with minimal support. Unfortunately, there is little to no help from instructors or management. Ms.Tu although i did not speak to her much she was always professional and helpful when i did contact her. Overall, this program lacks organization, professionalism, and adequate student support.

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.

I know with the way the economy is and unemployment, so the faster you can get education and get to a job, the better. They have several classes that are done in 12 weeks! I recommend this school because it has been a huge help in getting me the education I need, plus a good job. Everyone wins. The medical office specialist course is quite interesting with terminology on one side and full computer on the other, to me. I know they have a full range of courses available, and I know you would be a happy camper no matter what the choice!

Kim made it clear that the Covid booster was a requirement and she had to say in a firm smirky voice"not even for religious purposes." To be honest, I almost walked out but I stayed to take the test which I passed however, I was denied because of my belief and this is very unfortunate because I attend MJC and have been a student for about 2 1/2 years now and I was really looking forward to this program because I have heard they are top notch in the area. The reason I gave them 3 stars is because Nick was professional.

When it is said, that you're never too "old to learn" I'd say that holds true; for me…read more.. I graduated with my official Associates in Arts Degree in: General Studies, Social & Behavioral Sciences domain. What a fascinating subject. I had been attending school for over 20 years I believe it is and was so excited when COVID-19 struck. I saw it as an awesome opportunity to further my collegiate studies and obtain by hard honest labor, an actual college degree. MJC was good to me. Great to me even. I was able to finish up several classes and in doing so I obtained my college degree from Modesto Junior College in Modesto, California. They keep the campus clean, clean and clean. I loved this. Since resources are precious to me and my bunch of rescued family members; cats and dogs, being able to stay home and learn and retain the knowledge from the Professors was a perfect fit. I obtained my degree in the middle of COVID-19 and although it was very stressful; it took me about one year to recuperate from the semesters accomplished & behind me. I haven't been able to use my degree yet but am in the midst of locating something fun and educational that I can sink my teeth into and hopefully earn some much-needed income while there. There is so much financial aid that halfway through me starting my college journey, I qualified for 100% no-cost financial aid. It relieved so much stress and anxiety and anguish for me. (I live with several mental health conditions, one of which is the Bipolar Type 1, and that makes for a challenging environment and some memory challenges but I persevered and passed ALL my classes. I am so grateful. I thought I earned an A/B from my college Professor for an advanced English course but alas, the letter "C" is what remains. Sorry about that, I digressed ;) Check out the DOR = Dept. of Rehabilitation out of Modesto. It's a State of California-funded "NO COST IF YOUR DISABLED" which I was at the time. They set me up with a refurbished laptop, school supplies, pens, and pencils paper, etc each semester. They even offer assistance, hands-on I'm told, for locating that career once graduated. It's an amazing COST-FREE way to obtain your college education. My school guidance counselor Kayla Locke IS THE MOST AMAZING helpful and supportive counselor I have EVER encountered. She was part-time when she worked with me to aid me in meticulously at that, be aware of what courses and when I needed to take them to obtain my degree. IT WORKED! She's wonderful and if you're seeking a guidance counselor she's a sure fit. Her knowledge saved me from taking a couple of courses we thought I needed. She surprised me one day via email that I didn't have to take the courses which allowed me to graduate ahead of my class by months. Yes, she is just that professional yet personable at the same time; it's a perfection of a blend. Best wishes to you on your college journey at MJC... Thank you ~Jana Leigh Thomas MJC Graduate :)
