1. The website information and the verbal communication in class don't coincide. services listed,…read morearen't actually provided by the school: Tuition $950.00, CPR $ 50.00, PPD $20.00, Liability Insurance $35.00 is included in the tuition (no need to pay separately) Application Fee $25.00 Registration Fee $25.00 (note: the school no longer teaches CPR nor does the school give vaccinations, CMT is no longer taught, First Aid is no longer taught) GNA $105.00 for the exam after you complete the CNA course but students still have to wait for access, it isn't immediate. So, be sure to get your CPR and PPD prior to enrollment, there is no need to pay the school separately for CPR & PPD) 2. The equipment is outdated, partially operable, or broken. Examples: the beds don't move up/down properly, the height of the beds aren't operable which requires students to constantly bend-strain their backs, supplies are piled in the corner, filled with crust and dust. 3. The hallway near the restrooms wreak of sewage smell. 4. The floors aren't cleaned properly and are outdated. 5. The trash cans aren't equipped with automated features (you have to touch the lids) 6. The sink faucets aren't automated. 7. The soap dispenser isn't automated. 8. Paper towels aren't automated. 9. Students aren't provided with enough details on where to go for background checks, passport photos; if you aren't familiar with the area or process, one has to take time to research on their own as opposed to the school having a list of companies documented nearby that can accommodate students to help meet the enrollment requirements. 10. If your primary language isn't English, you are required to enroll in English courses prior to enrolling for CNA classes at this school; some could view this as a form of discrimination. 11. If you are an IEP young adult or adult, additional measures aren't provided to ensure you fully understand the course. (this could also be viewed as a form of discrimination) 12. 19 days actually isn't a feasible timeframe to learn this course, mainly because there truly isn't enough time to practice hands on skills as a group or individually, there are 2 exams a week, students aren't provided enough time to focus on skills, more time is focused on passing exams rather than skill time. 13. The nursing book used by Cengage needs to be reviewed as well by MBON because a lot of information/steps have been updated. In addition, not all medical facilities operate in the same manner. Example: Clinical Nursing Assistants can't or don't take orders from physicians, this isn't true, some medical centers/facilities actually have assigned CNA/Clinical Assistants (RN's are on site as well but they also have their own loads such as doing in baskets, vaccinations) Example: some facilities have gowns and drapes made out of plastic (you can't actually see the plastic but it's a combination of other materials) Example: not every facility uses transfer belts due to updated technology 14. Uniforms: come to class in white scrubs, wear black or white shoes (can purchase from school) parking spaces are limited and a tight fit. 15. Cameras have been installed; the students/the school is recorded 24/7, assuming to prevent cheating. 16. The website advertises weekend and evening classes; the school no longer has weekend and evening classes. 17. The classroom desks aren't suitable for full grown adults. 18. The skills exam appears to be rushed and a distraction 1. It's timed but you aren't told how much time you have to complete the skills exam so it causes a student to rush through the process and forget steps, then students are failed and are told "you aren't ready to enter the field" 2. More than one student is in the room hearing various instructions which can be confusing and distracting and surely in the real world, this doesn't happen. 19. Rodent droppings have been noticed in the school. 20. Once a week, a toddler (assumably a relative comes to the school) and remains on site for the day. One day the toddler was napping in the lab bed which caused the class not to be able to practice their skills to avoid disturbing the toddler's nap time. 21. Purchase your own Cengage textbook from Amazon, the books at the school are rentals only and not for purchase as indicated on the website (if you rent a book, you are not able to write or highlight in the book) the rental fee is $5.00 per day totaling $65.00, if you return the textbook early, nothing is applied to your account. 22. If you don't follow directions or verbal instructions EXACTLY as it's mentioned, you will receive failing grades; it's their way or no way. The school is completely outdated and refuses to listen to reason as if there isn't any other way to get things done; technology and medical information has been updated over the years and the staff should absolutely visit other facilities and schools to see how things are being done.

On January 1, 2021, at 830 pm it was pouring down rain in Oxon HIll, Md. Normally I love when it is…read morepouring rain and I can hear it hitting the window. I was sending out emails last one being sent at 802 pm, I thought to myself I am going to develop good sleep habits for the New Year, so I will get ready for bed. I was about to take my sleep medicine but was too lazy to get up so I just sit in the chair listening to the rain. Little did I know my laziness would someday pay off lol. Had I taken my medication and gone to bed, I literally would have lost my life in my sleep (from smoke inhalation). I had no idea that the building next to me was ablaze, and the apartment over me was completely engulfed in flames! As I was folding my computer and deciding to get in bed, I hear get out of the building there is a fire! My recliner was near the door I jump up with flip flops on and run to the door felt it wasn't hot so I opened it, and when I did I was hit in the face with thick black, smelly smoke! I closed the door and ran in the opposite direction toward my bedroom with my computer still in hand. I thought I would follow my fire plane and jump out the window! when I get in my bedroom I remember everything looking blurry I thought it was my sight without my glasses, but that was not the case it was smoke. I grab my coat jumped in my uniform pant backward and ran to the living room looking for another exit, my balcony was part of my fire plan, but I just didn't plan on jumping with gray smoke and fire falling. I could still hear my neighbor yelling get out!! I ran to the door again, and if I have ever heard the voice of God I heard it on Jan 1, 2021 when I was about to go out the door I heard put your shoes on, which allowed me to stop! and calm myself (not a grand voice just a whisper put your shoes on) holding on to the wall to put my shoes on finally made me realize I still had the computer in my hands so I dropped the computer put my shoes and open the door! That was a miracle #1. I know I can hold my breath for 47 seconds I swim:), so I still hear my neighbor so I thought I will just have to follow her voice, but in all the black smoke I look up at a window over the exit door and I see a gray hand waving to me to come out!! so I followed my neighbor's voice, jumped down the few steps! had I not seen what I thought was her hand I would have been frozen stiff! turns out she was outside of the exit door yelling but she was much to short for it to be her hand Miracle # 2, makes me shiver just to think about it!! had I not had on shoes, I might have had 2 broken ankles or landed on the wet pavement, had I not seen the hand I would have been frozen stiff! it was such an awful fire it looked like a red cross commercial you know the one (pouring rain raging fire) and the red cross there in the midst of it all. The fire raged from 830 pm until close to 11 pm even in the pouring rain. 63 to 65 off use lost our apartment homes that night, but there was not one life lost! There was a terrible accident, I believe a person had a heart attack and hit another car during all of this. At 11 the fire was still going on but under control thanks to the Oxon Hill fire department, Andrews Airbase fire department, and Alexandria Va fire department!, I was told that over 100 fire persons were working to put it out and I am thankful! without them, it would have been worse. At around 11 pm that night we all met in the recreation room and the red cross was there just like in the commercial. They handed out water and snacks and blankets. They interviewed us and made sure we had lodging for the next three nights although I have insurance that night I was so exhausted it was so nice not having to find a hotel, especially on a rainy night. We stayed at the Comfort Inn on Oxon Hill rd, check-in was so easy (remember everyone did not have time to get their wallet ie., Id or car keys and we were not allowed to go into the apartment that night to unsafe. So having the Red Cross pave the way was Miracle #3 I truly felt wounded. The lead Red Cross coordinator met us at the hotel, and arrange breakfast for the next morning! The next day we got a call telling us, lunch was ready for pick up and dinner was a very nice hot meal. Surprising how much you take for granted, I lost my very expensive progressives and was having a hard time seeing at night the Red Cross sent me a voucher to get glasses! All they did was without asking for anything in return. Readers we are living during a pandemic and all other types of emergencies and the one thing that is consistent in this world is that the Red Cross will always rise to the occasion! I depended on them in the Army to keep me connected to my family. That was in the 80s' and now in 2021, they are still a very relevant part of our society! If you want to make sure your donated dollars are put to good use you can not go wrong with the Red Cross, until next review; glad to be alive, to review, VJ

The driving school is okay. When I dropped my child off at the school near my home, the staff said…read morethey would have the driver education program to meet the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration's requirement for 30 classroom hours and 6 hours behind the wheel. However, I did not feel the school followed the criteria, and my child learned too little. So, I instructed and trained my child for more than 100 hours a year. Luckily, my child passed his driver's license successfully. Anyway, I do not strongly recommend the school.

I went to sign him up for class and saw the same instructor who taught me and Mr. S remembered me! The price did go up a bit from when I attended, but they gave a family discount which was awesome! They mentioned a waiting period when my brother registered, due to some law (idk), but my brother has to wait 9 months anyway so didn't affect him much. Either way, their service and attention to us was great and I hope my brother has a good experience like I did! P.S Metro station is just a ten minute walk (my brother has to take it).
