Anyone who wishes to be a CNA should take this course. I really believe the staff sets you up for success from day one and they do everything in their power to help you succeed. The rest has to come from you. I think the class has an awesome focus on not only the mechanics of skills but also patient care as a whole and it was an awesome experience to actually work in the field and grow connections with our awesome residents. I loved skills and clinical and hope everyone will give this program a chance! You won’t regret it!

It was a tough class and took a lot of time and perseverance but it was so so so worth it!!! Highly recommend. Mrs. Rivers and Mrs. Morgan are so amazing at what they do and such great instructors!

HIGHLY recommend!! Ms. Rivers and Ms. Morgan are both excellent teachers. I loved taking this program! Felt I was taught the best way to be the best CNA.

I just finished the CNA program with Ms.Rivers as my instructor. I am leaving the program with sadness because I enjoyed it so much. Not only did she teach with passion, she was patient and very kind. I wish I could take the course again! Highly recommend and I will miss the learning environment. Ms.Rivers is a pro!

This school has been the best experience! Ms.Rivers is the most encouraging, kind, helpful, and thoughtful person and she truly wants her students to succeed. She patiently helps each individual with their tasks, and ensures that each person feels confident and comfortable with nursing care. Anyone who attends this class will walk out feeling extremely confident in providing care for others. A huge thank you to Ms.Rivers for an amazing 5 weeks!!

By far the best nurse aid programs in Virginia! I was choosing between another program and I am very glad I made the decision to do this program. Mrs. Toni Rivers and her team are amazing and so passionate about what they teach. You can tell she really cares about each and everyone of her students. She puts in the time and dedication to make sure each student succeeds with excellence. I am a person that needs structure, so this program was perfect for me. Everyday we came in knew the goals for the day and world execute. She also made the information easy to understand and interesting. I feel ready and prepared for the state board. Take this class you won’t regret it!!

I enjoyed my time at Va school for Nurse aides. Ms Rivers was very patient and pushed me to be the best I could be. Lectures were split up really well as was the skills section.

HIGHLY recommend!! Ms. Rivers and Ms. Ward are both excellent teachers and constantly take the time to make sure that their students understand the material and are very successful. You can tell that they truly care about their students. It is a lot of work, but in the end is so worth it. I loved taking this program!

Great teacher and program! Be confident and you will survive

The best school in Virginia if you’re looking for nurse aid training! Ms. Rivers is always pushing you to do your best and keeps everyone on task with very little down time. You learn so much in such short time but when you get to clinical you are totally prepared.

I enjoyed taking the CNA course here for several reasons. It was very involved, and though it was five weeks I feel I have a great understanding of the practice. Also, Mrs. Rivers and Ms. Ward are excellent teachers and were very accommodating.

By far the best decision I’ve made. It’s a fast past program but you learn so much in such little time. Mrs. Rivers is such a good instructor, she takes time teaching the material and is very good at teaching it! So thankful for her and her teaching me her ways !🖤

This class was amazing!! Mrs. Rivers is an amazing instructor. She is really patient and makes sure that everyone has a good understanding of the material before moving on. I feel like I really learned the skills thoroughly.

I truly enjoyed my experience there at Virginia Scholl For Nurse Aides and Mrs. River’s was a great teacher!!! I’m a Graduate and I would highly recommend this school!!!

I took the CNA course with Mrs. Rivers! At first I was nervous about how the class was going to go considering the ongoing pandemic, however, most of the class was well planned out! Mrs. Rivers, who was both one of our main instructors and the owner of the school, is VERY passionate about what she does and it is very apparent whenever she teaches. The other instructors Mrs. Ward and Mrs. Morgan are both very talented and compassionate about their work, between all three, they share a wealth of knowledge about the field of Nursing. I highly recommend this course and VSNA above all the others, in terms of having some of the cheapest prices, but also the highest quality education with some of the highest pass rates in the state!

This CNA program is very thorough and Ms. Rivers seriously cares about teaching as she is very involved with all of the students progress. I recommend this program as I feel very prepared and confident to take the board exams in a few weeks. Thank you Ms. Rivers and her other instructors !!!

Ms. Rivers is an excellent instructor however I have an ongoing issue with her. I paid for the CNA AND Med tech combo class in 2020. Due to the pandemic we werent able to complete our clinical hours, she then said she couldnt find anyone that would let us into their facility. So I took it upon myself to find us a facility who agreed to let us come in, she sent an email back in March saying the clinical contract was in the process of being signed and she would inform us when everything was all straight. I can say that to this day I have not had any clinical time nor have I been able to get in contact with Ms. Rivers. I have left several messages for her to call me back but I have heard nothing. This is absolutely ridiculous, she is still carrying on with her CNA classes so Im not sure why she cant get our clinicals straight. Again, she is an excellent instructor however I do feel she has taken advantage of us. I also sent an email about two weeks ago with no response.

This is an amazing program! Ms. Rivers and the other instructors are extremely helpful. I’m really glad I chose this program, you gain a lot of knowledge and hands on experience so you feel confident in doing your job as a CNA.

Absolutely worst experience I ever had. There are soooo many hidden fees that you aren’t aware of when you enroll and no communication whatsoever. Miss.Rivers sent my class off to clinicals without coming herself or sending someone with us. There is obvious favoritism in the class and she will kick out students or make them retake the course for another fee. I had to wait until after graduating to write this review because I was scared she’ll kick me out as well. Don’t waste your money, there are many other better and cheaper options.

The CNA class is great! Ms. Rivers and Ms. Ward are great teachers that are always willing to help you out. It is easy to tell they truly care about all their students. The class is a good mix of learning and practicing with great hands on experience. I learned a lot and had fun.

Ms. Rivers was so helpful and patient with all her students! She made the program very enjoyable and the material easy to understand. She’s also really funny!

Ms. Rivers is a great instructor. She’s very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I would definitely recommend this class to a friend.

Great school with a great instructor! Mrs. Rivers genuinely cares for all her students and makes the environment a fun learning experience. Please consider going here, the bond is unbreakable!

I took this course to gain experience in the medical field to apply for my radiology program. I loved the setup and the help we received when we needed it. I recommend this program to anyone!

Ms. Rivers cares about her students being successful with the curriculum. She is VERY involved with her students and is willing to work one on one with students who are struggling with parts of the curriculum. I absolutely LOVED taking the CNA program at Virginia School For Nurse Aides! I HIGHLY recommend taking the CNA program at this school!

I loved my time here! Mrs. Rivers is an amazing instructor, and I’m so excited to use my skills from the classroom and clinicals in the near future!

This school made me somebody , after hard and nice directions of my instructors specifically Ms Toni Rivers , stay safe my Teacher ,Never forget you !

Best option in the area if you want to get your CNA or interested in getting in the medical field! Mrs Rivers and the staff are very knowledgeable and make sure you leave the program confident in your abilities to do your job properly as a CNA. A lot of hands on experience at clinical.

This is a good school for becoming a CNA. The teachers are encouraging helpful and motivational. This corse is very informative and well prepare you well for taking the state board

Great school, Ms. Rivers is an awesome teacher! The class gets you ready for the job right away. Went so well I’m signing up for RN school just a year later. This is the place to go 😊

This is hands down the best CNA class in RVA and probably in all of Virginia too!! Ms. Rivers has so much love for the medical field and for educating everyone (no matter the age) about how to be the best CNA. Worth every single penny and I’m so excited to start my journey to PA school with gaining experience by being a travel CNA

If you’re looking for a quick and structured course that is credible you’ve come to the right place!

I am beyond grateful I chose VSNA for my CNA course. In a fast paced 5 week course Mrs. River dedicated all of her time and hard work to turn us into the best CNAs. She was patient, thorough, attentive to our needs and struggles, and provided much motivation. The resources, tools, and equipment were all helpful to ensure we were successful in clinical. After giving up on pursuing my RN degree and switching to psychology, this course has changed my outlook on nursing and I may just go both paths- nursing and psychology! Thank you so much, Mrs. Rivers.

I would highly recommend VSFNA for anyone interested in becoming a CNA, PCA, or Med tech. This was one of the quickest and more convenient routes, I could of taken. I really enjoyed the independence with our lecture portion of our class. Our instructor did a great job at managing all aspects of our class schedule.

I really enjoyed the 5 weeks I spent in this school! For the first two weeks, you take online classes and then move on to in person skill and clinical. You can learn a lot in a short period of time and Ms.Rivers is a wonderful instructor and always helpful. I definitely recommend this school to whoever wants to be a CNA!

Overall an amazing experience! Mrs. Rivers really cares for her students and puts in every ounce of effort to make sure they succeed! I would definitely recommend this program to anyone!

I only have great things to say about my experience with Virginia School for Nurse Aids and Ms. Rivers as a teacher. The class does a great job of walking you through all the information you need to know and ensuring you have the skills needed to pass the certification exam. Ms. Rivers is a charismatic teacher and always brought enthusiasm to class. Additionally, I had some health problems during my class and they were very understanding and fair with my situation. 10/10 would reccomend.

I loved attending this school! Ms. Rivers is an outstanding instructor. She made sure we had a thorough understanding of the material and skills while keeping the class interesting and fun. Im going to miss being a student here.

If you’ve been searching for a CNA program where the instructor is dedicated, thorough AND you’ll get your money’s worth, end your search today because Virginia School For Nurse aides is the answer! It’s evident the instructor, Ms. Rivers, is committed to having the best CNA program in Richmond that produces nothing but the best CNAs. By the end of the program I felt confident not only in my abilities as a CNA, but in my peers’ ability to be great CNAs as well. Ms. Rivers makes sure all of the students are equally prepared and equipped for success upon completion of the program. She wouldn’t even allow us to move on from learning one skill until all of the students in the class felt completely comfortable performing it. Upon completion of our clinical training, the staff at the nursing facility were so impressed and confident in our abilities as soon to be CNAs that they offered myself and all of my classmates a job at their facility—that’s how thorough the training is at Virginia School For Nurse Aides. You will be properly trained and prepared to take your state boards upon the completion of this course. Do your future self a favor—stop contemplating and just sign up today!

VSNA is a wonderful program for those wanting to become a CNA!! The lecture education and skills taught by Mrs. Rivers was at a fast but great pace. She teaches to make sure her students perform to their best ability. I highly recommend it, you won’t regret it!-Brittany J.

Ms. Rivers is an excellent teacher, she is very knowledgeable and willing to work with her students to make sure that they succeed. I enjoyed her class very much.

Virginia school for nurse aides is the best school I’ve chosen to attend hands down ! Ms.Rivers is great with pushing and motivating you to succeed with your CNA, I highly recommend this program.

I feel that this a wonderful program. The instructors are the bomb! This is as wonderful school and is very cost effective. They really work with you and help you understand everything. I would recommend this class 100%!! 10/10!!

This program was rigorous, but in 5 short weeks we succeeded!! With the amazing leadership of Mrs. Rivers and Dr. McDonald I was able to learn and master this program and become a CNA. I recommend this school to everyone. Please go here, it is worth every penny and you will meet amazing people. This is such a wonderful program !!

Mrs. Rivers was a great teacher, she used a really details and easy instructions you could follow up and study. Had a good experience!!!

Overall, I had an amazing experience! Mrs. Rivers is extremely patient, and she takes the time to make sure every student is successful. I would recommend Virginia School for Nurse Aides to anyone looking to be a CNA. The course is only 5 weeks and you learn a lot during such a short time.

Mrs. Rivers was an incredible teacher and very patient, the class was a lot of fun especially once the skills section started. The teachers are very patient and do a great job teaching the information and are understanding of any problems or complications that may come up during the course and help to work around those problems so that students can still complete the course. I would recommend this school to anyone who is looking to get their nursing aide certification!

So amazing!! Ms. Rivers is one of the sweetest people and she makes sure that we have all of the knowledge we need to be successful. You will not find a better Nurse Aide school anywhere else!!!

Very good program! Affordable and quick! Was able to adapt to covid and still provide excellent training

I was recommended to this program by a friend, and I commend her for sharing such an amazing opportunity with me. I learned so much through this program that will benefit me for the rest of my life. If you take this program, you will highly benefit from it. There are 2 amazing and dedicated women that run this program and it shows. I highly recommend everyone take this program!!! ❤️

Overall, an amazing experience well worth the money! The staff provided a welcoming and efficient learning environment. Thanks to this program, I feel more than prepared to work in the field. I highly recommend the Virginia School for Nurse Aides to anyone who wants to become a CNA.

I would highly recommend taking a class here. Mrs. Rivers is a great instructor, she definitely cares about the success of her students. She is always willing to help when needed. If a student needs extra study time she will make time to be sure we get the necessary assistance. I have learned an enormous amount of valuable information that I am confident I will use in my future career.

Mrs. Rivers is an amazing teacher/person, I really enjoyed the school. Everyone is so patient and they make learning fun and easy. I definitely recommend this school to anyone looking to get certified.

I graduated a while ago from here and I really don’t recommend it. Toni Rivers is wonderful but the Dr. that works there is extremely rude. Please don’t waste your time and money. There are so many other places that will treat their customers with respect

Loved my time I spent here! Learned so much. Ms. Rivers is an amazing instructor and goes out of her way to ensure that her students are successful. If you ever have any questions she makes sure your question is answered & that you are prepared to the best of your ability to pass the state boards. Would highly recommend!

Mrs. Rivers school is like Verizon good service but charges for every single thing separately with extra fees. The only good thing about this school is having the option to take state boards at her school instead of elsewhere. If you cant learn in a fast pace setting and you currently dont work in the field I wouldnt recommend this school either. Mrs. Rivers is definitely all about money theres plenty of other schools out here thats willing to work with you and have the time and patience and is cost sufficient for every situation.

I took the CNA course and it went so fast but very nice! The course was kept organized by the instructors and taught very well as well as being fun for the students at the same time. I had a fun and educational experience overall !!

Great school and amazing instructors!!

Overall my experience here was ok. I graduated and was certified which is what I needed. However, this was not the smoothest or most organized program. Ms. Rivers would consistently throw random rules at us ( ex: if you don’t finish ___ by tomorrow you’re out of the program) with no warning. There was a lot of struggle finding a place to do clinicals which I thought was pandemic related, but if you read reviews from years ago that was also a problem then. Also, there were a TON of tiny charges that were out of no where. The website 100% said that the test was included (that’s why I signed up), but ms. Rivers changed that and made us pay. We also had to pay a $35 cleaning fee to take the test at her location, which she said was to wash the sheets and replace the gloves, etc that we used (we all brought gloves at the beginning of class anyways). Safe to say by the end me and most of my classmates were frustrated.

Great learning experience and amazing people! 100% recommend and will be going back for another certification in the future!

I just finished my CNA course with Mrs. Rivers and it was great. Mrs. Rivers really wants to see everyone of her students succeed. She teaches so everyone is able to understand and answer any questions you may have. I would recommend this class to anyone that wants to start their journey in the nursing field.

I just finished my CNA class with Mrs. Rivers and it was a great experience! I highly recommend this place to get a thorough education. She cares about your success as a group and individually.

Joining this program was the best decision I have made in my career. The CNA course was great. Ms. Rivers taught us to the best of her abilities and it has helped us become true nurse aides. I am definitely proud of graduating from this school and it was definitely a jump start to my future career. Thank you so much !! Please attend this school. You will not regret that decision. :)-Barbara

I enjoyed my time at Virginia School for Nurse Aides. It was a perfect pace and we were always doing something. I learned a lot and feel confident for when I get to my CNA job. Ms. Rivers was a great teacher and had the best energy. She was never in a bad mood and always had a smile on her face! You get your money’s worth and I would 100% recommend this program!

The instructors are super encouraging and accommodating! They will make sure you are comfortable in every skill and they will never make you feel awkward for stumbling early on in the learning process. I had a super positive experience. Go here to get excited about a career in the health field.

Best decision Ive made in years! Ms Rivers is an amazing teacher and a wonderful advocate for her students. She truly teaches you to be the best you can be in every aspect and shows up every day with such a positive attitude. You wont be disappointed if you go to this school.

The Virginia for Nurse aides was the best decision I ever made ! It was very hands on, the instructors were all friendly and willing to answer any of your questions. Also, the director of the program allowed us to call the school after business hours whenever we needed to ! Mrs. Rivers made our registration for our state boards very easy and provided step by step instructions! I also enjoyed Ms. Nye’s lectures, she was very engaging and provide many real life examples from her previous experience as an RN! I highly recommend the program, my class and I have established life time bonds, you won’t regret your money !

This is a great fast paced but efficient program. They were very accommodating during the COVID pandemic. I live the teaching staff they are always trying to make sure you succeed.

Virginia School for Nurse Aides is a great place to learn how to be a CNA. The short 5-week programs teach you everything you need to succeed in this job. Mrs. Rivers is super nice and very thorough with her teaching.

I’m glad I picked this program to become a CNA, the teacher was great, all skills and test were easy to pick up and Ms.Rivers was always available if you had any questions. I would recommend this program!

AMAZING experience with this facility. Mrs Rivers is an awesome instructor. I would recommend this program to any and everybody!

Easy curriculum to follow. Wish I started sooner.

Had a great experience! Organized, nice, and really felt like I was prepared to take the national exam. Highly recommend if you’re looking into becoming a CNA!

Really enjoyed the program! The instructors are very well informed and very patient

I recently took a CNA class at VSFNA, and loved it! I am currently a nursing student and wanted to start working in the hospital while in school (practice makes perfect). Ms. River’s was very engaging in her lectures, which helped retain the information. Loved the skills portion of the class, loved having a nurse teach tricks of the trade!

It was great I learned a lot. The teachers are super patient and want you to succeed and will help you every step of the way! Mrs. Rivers even secured all of us a potential job afterwards with our clinical!

I am a recent graduate from VSFNA and I highly recommend attending this school. All the staff was professional and friendly they all went above and beyond to make sure you understood every process along the way. If you had a question about anything they would always take the time to find the correct answer. The instructors were great, engaging and kept your interest, they want you to succeed in your goal. They make class fun and help you interact with your fellow students, you need to be able to act as a team and rely on each other when you’re in the medical field. Once you graduate and are waiting to take your state boards they encourage you to come in and practice. All the staff have worked in the medical field so they have a lot of experience they are not just instructors who were trained to teach and never had to apply their skills and knowledge. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone looking to start in the medical field it was a great experience.

I encourage anyone contemplating attending this school to sign up asap. Taking the CNA course at VSFNA was even more rewarding than I imagined. The instructors were kind, personable, and extremely encouraging. Be prepared to put the effort in, but anticipate how enjoyable this experience will be. I couldn’t be more grateful that I took my CNA class here. I’ll never forget it! :)

I had a great experience at VSFNA. Mrs. Rivers and Dr. McDonald are wonderful teachers, and I feel like the CNA course has prepared me for state boards.

Even with the world at a halt due to covid-19, Ms.Rivers and Dr.McDonald adapted well and made this one of the best classes Ive ever taken!!!

I took the CNA course here and feel prepared to take the state board exam. The program is broken into lecture, skills, and clinical portions. Ms. Rivers teaching style is straight forward and she emphasizes students honing their nursing aide skills. I really recommend this program!

I was skeptical and nervous at first . I have never done anything pertaining to nursing and between working and being a mom of 3 school was not in my agenda . But I scheduled my 5 week course anyways and things started coming into play . I had an amazing group of classmates and we all became such close friends to the point we were all eating lunch in one car together. Our teachers were the best and so engaging and hands on with all of there teachings an knowledge of nursing . Mrs. Rivers and Mrs.Morgan were the best teachers I’ve had and now Instead of feeling nervous or skeptical, I feel I will be able to go far in nursing an be able to make this my career and a career I love . I owe this all to my teachers and Virginia School for Nurse Aids. If anyone is looking for a positive learning experience and furthering themselves with a positive career I highly recommend this school !

I had a great experience here! The teachers were awesome and very helpful!

Ms.Nye and Ms.Rivers are outstanding, I highly recommend this school. Not only do you learn so much, you make wonderful friendships, and memories. I’m so happy I found this school and got to have this experience! VSFNA will set you up to be successful in your future.

Ms. Morgan and Ms. Rivers are teachers that both truly care. They make classes interactive and interesting. Benefits of attending this school are you learn information that matters, you learn the basic skills that are used in the field, you become extremely close with your classmates, and you take the state board in an environment that you’re used to. Trust the process, do your book work,be out going, be patient, be able to take criticism.

Participating in this program was a wonderful experience. Mrs Rivers is amazing, she makes sure you understand everything. I recommend this school 100%.

I would definitely recommend!!i am so happy to have hit another milestone in my life, and can say i am a nurse aid. I always grew up saying i wanted to be a nurse and now i am a step closer to my goal. This has been an amazing experience, and i have learned so much thanks to Ms Rivers. I am so thankful to have had an amazing instructor who actually cares about seeing me and each of my classmates grow and become where we are today.. Ms Rivers has an amazing attitude and always has a smile on her face. she made me feel comfortable from day one.thank you soo much ❤️

Great school, great atmosphere. Ms. Rivers is the best teacher Ive ever had. Love how she teaches and prepares her students for success in the nursing world. I will definitely recommend this school to anybody.

Great school and learned a lot in a short amount of time! Highly recommend VSFNA!

I took the 5 week CNA course at the Virginia School for Nurse Aids, and I had a phenomenal experience. I was taking the course amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, and Ms. Rivers was still able to ensure we received all the training, knowledge, and experiences we needed to succeed! I highly recommend this school if you are interested in becoming a CNA or Med Tech in the Richmond area.

I had an amazing time completing this course! Ms Rivers was the best teacher ever! She was the reason why I succeeded so well in this class. She was very thorough and made sure all her students did well in this course. VSFNA is very organized and the best nurse aide class in Richmond! Everyone needs to go here if they are considering getting their CNA!

Excellent learning experience for me I attended Virginia school for nursing aides Virginia school for nursing aides in 2013 I received my nursing license or my first try The teachers were very helpful and the clinical experience was outstanding we received additional Study (practice) time to help us we are still receive resources such as tutor sessions I will recommend the school to everyone who is thinking about the healthcare field

So thankful to have chosen this school! Ms.Rivers and Ms.Nye are both wonderful! I have already been offered a position as a CNA 🤩🤩🤩 I now have the confidence to go on to nursing school as well!

A fantastic spot to learn everything you need to know to become a nurse aide! Full of amazing staff and fantastic classmates, cant recommend the nurse aide program more.

Virginia School for Nurse Aides is a professional trade school. The instructors each have over 20+ years of nursing experience. The Director, Mrs. Rivers is so passionate about her students. I’ve received great assistance from staff members, and I’m thankful for everything they do. They hold students to high standards, which helps them become successful to pass their state boards.

I can honestly say that Virginia School for Nurse Aids was indeed the turning point in my career. Initially I was a little apprehensive when deciding to go back to school having been out for 20 years. However, I was reassured once speaking with Ms. Alison who was the secretary then. There was definitely a lot to learn in the lecture class within few weeks. But Mrs. Godard made it very interesting and did an excellent job teaching the course. She has a extensive knowledge in the medical field as a registered nurse. The skills lab was putting to use what was learned but again we had a teacher (Mrs. Morgan) who knew her job well being a registered nurse too. She gave us a lot of insight on how it would be in the real world and made sure we were prepared before graduation. I can not say enough about Mrs. Rivers. She was very professional and went above and beyond in ensuring that this program was held to a higher standard than other schools. Mr. Sean as well as herself made it possible for students to come back as much as they needed to prepare for the state boards test. So I am very appreciative of this school and will recommend it to anyone who is considering a nursing career or even transitioning into the medical field as I did!

I highly recommend Virginia School for Nurse Aides to anyone looking to complete their nurse aide certification! The course is divided into three sections - lecture, practical skills, and an actual hands-on clinical rotation. The classes are fast paced, but the instructors (the amazing Mrs. Godard and Mrs. D) ensure that you thoroughly understand and are willing to work with you one-on-one. I really enjoyed the small classroom size and personalized attention. Even the director and office manager (the fabulous Mrs. Rivers and Mrs. Shelton) are available to answer questions and demonstrate techniques. I really felt that the professional staff is dedicated to the success of each individual student. My overall experience was amazing, and I am so glad I chose to take the first step in my new career path with VSNA. Stop by the school and it will be clear why Virginia School for Nurse Aides is where the good ones come from.

My experience at Virginia School for Nurse Aides was very unpleasant. I would definitely not recommend anyone to take any kind of training here. The owner is very rude and unprofessional, and does not conduct business appropriately. If planning to attend, be careful before signing up. They will do anything to get more money from you. If they do not have the desired amount of students to start a session, they will make you wait until the next session, despite it being a completely different time frame than what you paid for. In addition, they will not issue a refund if this situation occurs. However, I must say the other than the owners and her assistant; the other teachers are very friendly and courteous. The teaching areas are very old and the equipment is outdated, so do not expect to be learning in an up-to-date environment. My biggest advice is to read, read, and read, the contract given before signing. There are many additional expenses that they make sure not to discuss with you until they are expecting a payment. They offer a CPR course that is not certified by the American Heart Association, so will not be helpful when applying for jobs. They will NOT tell you this information when you sign up for the course, so do not take it there. They also ask for an additional $15 to take the board exam at their facility. (Anywhere else, the test is included in the cost of the course).The clinical site was absolute horrible. You will not get adequate training there. The staff are very unprofessional and do not properly train the students. They actually just try to get you to do all of their work. Overall, I would not recommend this school to anyone. There are far better places that are worth the money spent.

Overall, I have enjoyed my time at this school. There are some things that have irritated me, but something I love is that they listen to you. At the end of the CNA course you get to review your instructors. They take any complaints seriously. Ms. Rivers is absolutely amazing. It seems like she genuinely wants everyone to succeed. She shows interest in you and is always eager to help. Very approachable. I also did the med tech program and Doctor McDonald was a hoot. She knows her stuff and is a great teacher. Shes professional while also being casual and approachable.The only big issue I have with the school is their attendance fees. Even with a doctors note, you still end up paying a fee for missing a day, something that I find absolutely ridiculous. I understand that having people pay a fee discourages students from skipping, but there seems to be no forgiveness or understanding that we as humans get sick on occasion. All exams are also done in the last 45 minutes of the day. It leaves students stressing about the exam all day. I think it would be extremely beneficial to do the exams at the very beginning instead.

It was hard for me to go back to school at my age but Mrs. Rivers and Mrs. Morgan made it easy for me. They were hands on with us, not just reading from a textbook. Im glad I chose this school, this school may not be for everybody but just dont read the reviews, go up there, see for yourself, they give tours!!! What I have learned about this school is, their are wonderful teachers here that are making a difference, a bigger and better program for the students and I met some wonderful people again the way!!!
