LVN program in California Career College was the worst experience in my life. Most of students were failing due a lot of stress .In the first semester the clinical is in an assisted living and we don’t do anything .There is nothing to us to practice, it is just a big waste of time. One of the teachers just go there and sit in the conference room with the students to surf in the cell phone internet ,or just leave out early to go eat or shopping. (The clinical is supposed to start by 7 am to 3 pm), and most of the time the teacher was arriving late (9 am) and leaving early( about 1 pm).
The teachers are rude; one of them has a strong accent and we can’t understand almost one word that she says .The lectures are based on instructor's experiences and read over slides, this when she is not speaking about her life .
They don’t have any material to teach us, even a new box of gloves, most of the gloves are so old and have holes on them .You need to practice with used syringes . They are always out of everything. It’s just a complete nightmare. Where is the money of the student’s tuition?
Unethical things is going on in this school and nobody say or do nothing .One of the teachers always favorites some students because they talk the same language, she does know that we can’t speak another language besides English, but she insists in speak her own language. This is so disrespectful .
This same teacher always discourage the students ,She always states to us :”Why are you doing the LVN program ,if you are going clean up after s&**&&**”. She does not explain nothing, like I wrote before she just talk about her private life and she even states:"" If I ask about something of the chapter and you don't know ,I swear I will fail you!"" Those are the words that come out of her mouth ,always discouraging the students and being unethical most of the time .
I had a meeting with the program director, I explained my concerns my worries and I made it clear that I was not happy with the teachers, and how one of them was treating me and my colleagues and she yelled at me, and said that I just know is complain, and complain .Why I can’t go there and tell my concerns about my own education? I am paying for it, and it’s not cheap.
Please DO NOT come here. I know it is one of the cheapest school in the Valley, but at the end you will going to pay more and more to finish. If I would have read reviews warning me of such bad school, I would NEVER have attended and wasted my time to be abused. I was so stress that I got sick.
What a horrible experience , waste of time and money!
