I would not recommend this program to anyone considering a career in MRI. From my experience, it felt like the school was primarily focused on getting students enrolled and collecting tuition, rather than actually supporting students' education or future careers. Once you're in, the level of support and quality does not match what is promised during the enrollment process. A major issue I encountered was the quality of instruction. Many of the instructors were difficult to understand due to language barriers, which made it extremely hard to understand or learn. They would mainly read word for word from a book. I was also given the impression that my externship could lead directly to employment. This was a big factor in my decision to enroll. However, that did not happen, and there was little to no real support in helping me transition into a job after completing the program. After graduating, I have struggled to find employment in the field despite actively applying. The job market and hiring expectations were not accurately represented to me, and I do not feel the program properly prepared me for the reality of finding a position. Now I am left with significant student loan debt and no job in the field, which is incredibly frustrating and disappointing. DO NOT GO HERE read more

I currently have this school at the facility where I work. The instructors for clinical are incompetent and the students are not prepared to work. the students and instructors are entitled and do not want to provide care to patients. I would not recommend this school due to the poor instruction and high cost. It is truely scary how they pass on students with no knowledge or skill. read more

This was the worst experience I have ever had at any school in my life. They also play favoritism and are so unorganized. The staff and teachers are so disrespectful and talk badly about students amongst other students and staff members. It's extremly unprofessional. They only care about money. My fasfa was tampered with after dealing with the financial aid portion and warnings were sent to me about someone else trying to log into it from a location at the school. They also tried to enroll me into another semester after I graduated. The older receptionist with the brown hair is extremely rude, goes out of her way to make certain student feel uncomfortable and seems to not really know what she is doing almost every interaction I have ever had. To much gossip with too many bored people. Don't go here. From laundering money, sex scandals, fraud, fake enrollments, fasfa fraud,sexual harassment, robbery, slandering, name calling, isolating, retaliation and causing metal health issues. Please go elsewhere. Everything about this school is bad. Be very careful. They also tried holding my transcripts which is illegal. Look up what this school has beed sued for and you will run away. They should be shut down. Sexual harassment and discrimination is also a red flag. They break these rules as well. Derogatory names referring to sexuality or sexual identity is often used amongst them about other students.Not in a good way.Watch out for that as well. I am so shocked that such disgusting behavior is accepted from these individuals and can still be employed. Hopefully you read this in time and decide to run the other way. Private school with accepted illegal behavior should be taken seriously and shut down. read more

See all

I spoke to the director of the school and he was extremely rude and inconsiderate. All what I was telling him my little frustration about their requirements regarding the needs to have your GE such as English and math within 4 years. This means they will not take student who graduated earlier such as 2022 because that means they have to repeat all their GE requirement. Note I was not even talking about the science requirement. Their director was so rude even though I was very nice. That is when you know this school is just for money collection and not built for the best interest of students. He did not even bather to give explanation. He was just giving attitude. I was shocked to see the level of unprofessional behaviour from a director of nursing program. He should be working at the DMV not in education. read more

This review is strictly for the blonde front desk with tattoos on her arm. I came in today for my first midterm, not knowing where to go and asked her where we students go. She points to the sign and says nothing. I ask her again if she knows in what direction we go? She reply's with a sour face, "Straight ahead." As the face of the company, greeter, and employee, I felt unwelcome. I'm nervous as is to take my first test and to be "helped" by this person made my testing experience unpleasant. Needless to say, I went in circles looking for this room and did not want to go back to ask the front lady again. Do better, or enroll in a course at CNI if you hate working front desk so bad. read more

Miguel has helped my cousin so much by sending emails to make sure everything is okay and the support Miguel provides makes her feel cared for and welcome at the college. With stressful clinicals and classes, Miguel has provided her with a resource to reach out for assistance if needed. read more

AVOID THE SURGICAL TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM!! When I first started the program, I was optimistic because students were treated with respect and professionalism. However, as the program progressed, I noticed issues that made the experience frustrating. Some instructors in lab and capstone courses displayed favoritism, which created an uncomfortable learning environment for certain students. The program is quite expensive--around $38,000 to $40,000--and while job placement is mentioned as a possibility, my experience post-graduation has been challenging. It has been nearly five months since I graduated and seven months since I left my clinical site, yet I have struggled to find a job. Many hospitals require at least one year of experience, but this program provides only about four months of clinical training to put on your resume. While I do know some graduates who secured jobs, many were in smaller facilities or plastic surgery centers with limited exposure to different specialties. If you're considering this field, I strongly recommend researching programs that offer more comprehensive support--both during training and after graduation--to ensure you're set up for success. I also put another name because I plan on going back to attend their nursing program since that's all they care about. read more

From the start of my application process I was immediately contacted by Alyssa who works in admissions. She was always there to answer any questions and inform me on anything I needed to know. She reached out to me constantly to see if I needed any help in the application process and followed through each time! The staff I've encountered have all been so supportive and helpful as well! I definitely recommend applying here, they are great!! read more

If you have tattoos on your'e neck they will make you unenroll from the program and crush you're dreams of ever changing you're life and getting an education because you are a liability .I would find another program and school who aren't gonna judge you on how you look they decided to tell me a month in starting class that they wouldn't be able to help me finding externship placement when I just started . Very disappointing and judgement schoo. read more

I am happy to write a positive review about the exceptional nursing school I had the pleasure of applying to. From the very beginning of my application process, I was met with nothing but warmth and professionalism from the staff. The admissions team provided me with all the information I needed and patiently answered all my questions, which made me feel heard and valued. What sets this nursing school apart is their commitment to their students' success. I was impressed with the level of support I received throughout the application process, which made me feel like a valued member of their community. The nursing program offers unique resources, such as tutoring, to ensure their students succeed. I felt like the nursing school was invested in my educational journey and success. Another benefit of this nursing school was the personalized assistance I received throughout the application process. The staff went above and beyond to ensure my application was complete and helped me every step of the way. It was reassuring to have this level of support, and it contributed significantly to my confidence in applying to the program. My experience applying to this nursing school was fantastic. The incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and supportive staff made it a positive and memorable experience. I am grateful to have discovered such a wonderful institution and highly recommend it to anyone interested in pursuing a career in nursing. ALL staff on this campus is fantastic but personally my wonderful advisor was Mahoganee and my Financial Aid Officer was Juan. They're amazing! I am also thinking about returning for my Masters in Nursing when the time comes. read more

Amazing BSN program! The staff will guide you through every step and ensure you have the best support to meet your educational goals. read more

CNI College - Cohort 11 Class of 2025 - Colleges & Universities Near Me - Santa Ana, California

I would give it a 5 star but when it started we were left w no instructor. As the time went by we got Mrs . Mia who went above and beyond to teach us and then our clinical instructor Mr. Ian gave us all the best of his knowledge to learn and do it the right way at clinical . Till this day I always remember his tips. As time went by our instructors gave us the knowledge to help us pass the exit exam. Two of us passed at the first try at exit exams. After 2 years I took my NCLEX and all I had learned from my instructors n ATI at the same time helped me so much. I didn't use ATI for studying I did uworld and it was one of the best choices to study. At 75 questions and first try blessed me I passed my test and now I'm an LVN It's motivation from you but mostly the help u get from ur teachers and the best you can do to be where life will take u . read more

The MRI program is not that great! They will have you pay $40k for a subpar program with below average internship sites. I am not impressed with this school at all! I wish I would have put my money into a different school. read more

Mahoganee admission advisor provided a very comforting environment throughout the admissions process. From the initial contact through the receipt of the offer of acceptance, she was available to answer any questions posed to her and made the process a positive experience. She's an exemplary individual and I feel that she is the perfect liaison between the learning institution and those individuals seeking a career in nursing. Susan Dunn the director of student service was the consummate professional during the admissions interview. However, of even more importance, she created an atmosphere that made an inherently stressful situation quite comfortable. She allowed me to put forth my best effort. Susan's an asset to the institution. Also, big shout to Juan in the financial department .Thank for all your help read more

Good school to start, I was graduated Lvn this school. I like this school. I like all teachers and all staff there. i really want to go back for RN but they don't have RN. read more

Gabrielle never responded to my messages. a joke of a person. poor reflection of the school. met an alumni of their school who told me he looks for shortcuts to pass tests. read more

Im really sad because I went super excited going into this school wanting to be a nurse. I wanted to be the first to graduate in my family but this school took this away from me. It's been two years since i finished my program with them and they can care less about helping me pass my NCLEX. Marisa one of the directors is super helpful trying to connect me with professors. But professors who are offering a thirty minute session once a week, as if that's going to help me prepare and pass my NCLEX. Dr. Velasco use to be the director I put all my trust into her helping me pass my NCLEX. When it came to the last few weeks of the LVNS passing their NCLEX she was too busy in meetings to help prepare us for our NCLEX or forgot she had a meeting and would skip our one on one time with her. This school took the one time I was super excited about graduating away from me. Left not me multiple students in my class to figure out how to pass the NCLEX on our own. Really sad school. They don't care about the LVNS only about their RN students. Not once ever since I've graduate have I had a professor trying to help me pass my NCLEX nor the director of this school. If I could be completely honestly I don't know why the State is allowing this school to even have a LVN program. I wish I could have chosen a different route when choosing schools for my LVN. read more

Mahoganee was my admissions counselor, and I can tell you that I had a very positive and pleasant experience with her. She is very attentive and patient. She was very easy to communicate with. I also want to thank Juan from Financial Aids for helping me out during this whole process. Both of them made my enrollment process go smoothly. I want to include and send my thanks to Ms Susan Dunn, Dean of Student Services as well. She made me feel very welcome and at ease in my interview. She was a delightful person who to talk to and seemed so genuinely caring and interested in you. With all that being said, I cannot wait to start my new journey next week! read more

0 stars for this school. I am very disappointed with the amount of tuition I am paying and for the poor service I am receiving. The nursing program is very disorganized and has no structure. I wish I had invested my money in another school. I do not recommend this place for anybody please do not attend this school!!! read more

Mahaganee needs an award she goes beyond her job duties to assist you in the admission process. She would text and send an email in regards to the deadline to take the teas and documents that is needed to be accepted into the program. I'm grateful to be a CNI student. Juan, in finance, took the time to explain the process fully he has excellent customer service. read more

Currently a student in BSN 6 and so far I love it. My admission advisor Patty went the extra mile to help me with the whole admission process and get me in ASAP. Staff is great here and definitely recommend any program if you are interested in going to school here. read more

Love my admissions counselor Kimberly because of her my whole journey here at the nursing programs has been wonderful! She has made my whole transitioning very smooth and easy.

I appreciate her keeping me updated at all times and always having a positive attitude! read more

So happy and excited I got accepted and be able to start in July 2023. I want to thank God first for opening doors for me to be able to attend CNI college.

My brother and mom actually referred me to this school; my brother attended school at their previous campus location. The admission process was very smooth and the Admissions Rep Chelsea and FA Advisor Maura were definitely very patient and supportive throughout the entire process. I'm very excited to extend my knowledge in the medical field and to be starting the ADN Program in March 2021! read more

i have been trying to get back to school since 2021- school admission is always hard, they make you go in circle, back and forth and at the end, i didn't make it in any class. Alas, i was given a break and Patty Sneed reach out to me and gave me instruction and requirement to get in a class- i inquired around October and she gave me simple detailed instructions to follow and I am now going to start my RN class next month . Patty is an amazing Admission Advisor- any questions you have she knows the answer! great personality and so easy to talk to. if you are ready to get back to school she is the person to talk to!! I already gave her information to my other friends to inquire because i know she will take care of them and assist with all questions! when it comes to financial aid- Maura also is so knowledgeable. walked me thru the FAFSA, help me fill any forms needed on the spot and gave me all the options in details. so far, i feel that CNI have a great team to help you succeed! read more

I have been contemplating going back to school to pursue the BSN program and stumbled upon CNI through google and I must say it has been a delight working with Mahoganee. Have spoke with a few other private institutes but she made the process easy and made sure to follow up with me throughout testing and application process. Will definitely recommend scheduling a meeting with Mahoganee if you are considering any courses CNI has to offer. read more

Amazing customer service! Kim is a sweetheart so bubbly & always has a smile on her face!

Came in after doing some research on the MRI program. Clean school, welcoming atmosphere, hybrid schedule so it helps with student like me who need to work on top of attending school. Kimberly was my admissions rep she was very patient with all the questions I had and thankful for her follow up it kept me on track of my application. They offer nursing programs too and I spoke to a few students that helped me find the entrance and they had nothing but good things to say. So far I'm very pleased and excited for my new journey here! read more

This review is for Randy McDermott , He is super helpful during the whole process of my Graduations, very responsible and kept me up to date on everything that is happening to find me a job. I appreciated his encouragement and positive attitude when I needed help to taking the board exam and getting all the requirements in. Thank you Randy McDermott read more

I want to share my experience with the Admission Advisor, Nicole Ray, and the Financial Advisor, Maura Olivos. Both ladies were very helpful, kind, and professional. :) The first day that I went to see the campus and get more information about one of their programs, I felt comfortable and welcomed by the entire staff that I encountered (front desk staff, Nicole, and Maura). I liked the information I received about the program through Nicole, and decided to apply for it. I only had 2 weeks to turn in all the requirements to meet the deadline for the next cohort. Nicole was great at staying in contact and communicating throughout the entire process. She would answer my questions promptly, and would help out in any way she could when I needed it. Maura was also a great help! She explained in detail the financial aid and fees. She gave me pamphlets (resources) and answered all of my questions in a timely manner. Both ladies are awesome!! :) I highly recommend checking out this institution. read more

I just received the wonderful news that I'm accepted into this exciting program and Edward Riepma who is an Admissions Advisor was a MASSIVE help! He communicated immediately with any question I had and was so thorough in his answers. I'm a very inquisitive person and he had no problem with all the questions I had. I'm very grateful someone like him is working at CNI College. He was so encouraging and excited for me and my progress in getting admitted into the school. He's very knowledgeable and kind in how he helps others. I can't wait to start my education here! read more

Patty Sneed is the absolute best!! I applied and got into the BSN cohort 13 and she walked me through the whole process! She made my parents and I feel so comfortable. I initially went by myself and after falling in love with the school brought in my parents. Go to the front desk and ask for Patty!! She'll make sure you're taken care of no matter what. Thank you so much Patty for welcoming into the CNI family!! read more

Gabby was my advisor and helped me enroll into the MRI program. She was so helpful and personable! She greeted me with kindness and I felt very welcomed. I have checked out many schools but she was honestly the reason I decided to come to CNI. She made the process so easy and smooth, I would recommend her to anyone interested in attending CNI! read more

This review I specifically speaking to the intake person who is supposed to give you information about the program you are interested in. Her name was Patty Sneed. I was interested in the BSN program and had an appointment with her to get more information about the program. My appointment took approximately 2 hours and during these two hours Patty spent most of her time apologizing to me and walking in and out of the room helping a current student with what she said was currently taking a test and needed her assistance. I asked her questions about the cost of the program and if I would be about to work part time while I'm the program. These questions never really got answered directly instead she insisted that I would need to enroll soon because classes were filling up. She indicated that they were the only school offering this program as well. I left this appointment feeling like this school was more interested in enrolling you right away and not really caring if you could afford the program. This interaction made me decide I definitely did not want to enroll at CNI. I saw all the great reviews from other people and wish I would have met with someone else that was more professional. read more

It has been about 2 years since I wrote my review. I enrolled in the MRI program in August of 2020. Boy have I been challenged to grow and mature since. Graduated this month with Honors, perfect attendance, and now I landed my FIRST MRI tech job! One of the staff named Randy McDermott gave me the most VITAL tips and information to get a job at RADNET. He strongly recommended me to right a letter of appreciation and hand deliver it to the site supervisor after my interview the next day. I did and was told by the site supervisor that this was a first and it was one of the factors that got me hired. Thank you so much CNI and Randy McDermott!!! I doubted myself when I first started and now I am the most confident and grateful person I have ever been in my life. There are no shortcuts to SUCCESS. It is earned and not given. That is the most important lesson I learned going through CNI and have more CONFIDENCE in myself. Thank you again CNI all the staff and to RANDY MCDERMOTT . read more

CNI College - Graduated 7/15/2022 Thank you to all those who helped and supported me the entire time! - Colleges & Universities Near Me - Santa Ana, California

On my second term for the MRI tech program. I researched and interviewed other schools but I was won over at CNI. Mahoganee made the enrollment easy for me, someone that has not been in school in 17 years. She continues to keep in touch and checks in how everything is going. The program is accelerated but the entire staff and Professors have been helpful,making happy I went back to school. You can sense that they are on your side and happy to help you succeed. read more

I wanted to share some things I missed when I first wrote about the school. First, our clinicals...somehow we were not taught how to chart. There were some things I found out during my first job an an RN that I was like "uh...was I supposed to know this?" Because there was a whole lot I didn't know. For instance, how to chart. We never got to do it unless one of the nurses we were assigned to at a clinical location allowed it. Most of the time, I did not get the opportunity to look at a system. I've been a nurse now for two years and I'm just barely getting the hang of how charting works. The same is absolutely true for how to write a care plan. I realize this was over two years ago so the program may have gotten better, but when I went to write my first care plan, there was no basis for instruction and I was LOST. Never having been a nurse or worked in the medical field, dude, let me tell you, those things killed me and I still hate them. Second isn't for me, but for a friend who was in my original cohort. They did not pass a class, but were told they would be placed back into the curriculum asap. Asap took two years, with a lot of smoke blown up their butt and getting passed over for replacement. They've graduated and are studying for their NCLEX, thankfully, but the drama they went through to get back in almost made them quit the school and enroll in another institution. I want to add here that they worked at a facility where a certain instructor also worked (you know the one). Anyway, she saw my friend and made a comment to their face about them still being "just an LVN". We all work really hard and for an instructor to put down a student in such a cruel manner is really just f*cking gross. I felt compelled to write this because I see there are so many positive reviews about the admissions process, but that doesn't tell you what to expect while you're a student. I feel enough time has passed that I can name my angel instructors. Thank you to Dr. Chambers, Instructor Case, Dr. Rico and to my classmates Blanca and Josue for getting me to where I am now. read more
