Core 5 has become a barrier preventing hardworking students from graduating. The grading setup…read moremakes success nearly impossible one missed question can mean repeating the entire core. What's worse, dosage is only taught for a single day, yet students must score a perfect 100% on the dosage exam to advance. After that, we're left to study alone. While accuracy is vital in nursing, this policy is unrealistic and sets students up for failure. I've reached out multiple times about my efforts, only to hear the same response, while more money is pulled from my family for a class I already know. Students have failed Core 5 by fractions of a point, like 76.7% when 77% is required, with no retest or supplemental work allowed. Even a 95% on dosage is treated as failure if it isn't perfect students invest their time, energy, and passion only to be held back by technicalities. I've seen dedicated classmates in tears over narrowly missing the mark. The school must revise its Core 5 policies to reflect fairness, compassion, and educational best practices. Without change, this program will continue to lose talented future nurses to a rigid, financially damaging system.

After graduating, I secured a new grad position, but unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances, I couldn't continue in that role. As many know, leaving a new grad position can make finding another job very challenging. Celeste was incredibly supportive during that difficult time. She not only helped me navigate the job search process, but also guided me on how to improve my interview skills and build my confidence. With her help, I was able to secure 4 interviews and ultimately land a new position with better pay than my previous role. I'm truly grateful for her dedication and support she made a real difference in my career journey. Thank you, Celeste

West coast Dallas campus has been more than a disappointment. My complaint is more with the…read moreprofessors who don't encourage students enough and quickly tell students to DROP classes instead of working more with them. Professors who don't even make PowerPoints and just tell us to read the book, tests who aren't even made by them and get mad when the class doesn't do well. A lot of students feel they're just being money hungry encouraging failure so they can get more money. That not the west coast I was told before applying. This school has potential, but the way it is currently, I recommend people interested in nursing to look somewhere else.

The school is now Dallas Nursing Institute. I along with about 20 others, were the pilot students for the nursing program, and graduated in August of 1992. Yes, the school was awesome.

I am not sure of the ratings for Dallas Nursing Institute, but if they are anything like E&K, then they are a gem. Kay M.

The preschool and pre-K years were a struggle for my daughter at schools that were not set up for kiddos whose brains work differently. We worried that a school where she could be supported, listened to, and loved for who she is did not exist... until we found Vanguard. From the moment she stepped on the campus to visit, my daughter has felt at home. Her classes are small and taught by excellent professionals who lead with love and kindness at every turn. She receives individual attention when she needs it, as well as valuable, daily feedback that has helped her with her behavioral challenges, building friendships, and creating a solid academic background for the future. She and her peers learn how to love and accept themselves and their peers for who they are, even as they work to meet their daily challenges. In addition, the school encourages continual communication with families. If a problem crops up, we hear about it immediately from her teacher and we work together to figure out a solution. Parents are also encouraged to escalate concerns to school administration ASAP so that solutions can be collaboratively constructed. But at the core of everything, we have seen results: it's no longer a struggle to convince our daughter to go to school, she loves her teachers and her peers, she takes pride in her schoolwork, and her confidence has grown with each passing year. We absolutely love Vanguard and the innovative, loving, and dedicated people who work here.

LIFT is an amazing nonprofit organization with a mission to improve the literacy abilities of its…read morestudents by teaching them skills to pass their GED exams, thereby attaining better jobs to support themselves and their families. For the past two years, I've been proud to volunteer as an adult basic literacy instructor. The class is centered around teaching adults basic phonics so they can progress to a level of reading and spelling multi-syllable words. However, LIFT also offers courses at other levels, including pre-GED, ESL (English as a Second Language), and family classes in partnership with DISD. Almost all classes are offered at the Main Campus at the Opportunity Center in south Dallas, but there are several ESL classes all across the Dallas metroplex. LIFT has an amazing mission, and they are more than willing to equip those who want to volunteer with the appropriate training. When I see my students excel or grasp a new concept, I can't help but feel that LIFT has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life thus far. If you're looking for a way to give back to the community, I highly recommend checking out LIFT and how you can become involved with this wonderful organization!
