I've taken a few classes with Neo : Basic EKG and NRP (twice). Pam is the only NRP instructor on island that isn't affiliated with the hospitals. The live class is done at a home in Ewa Beach & is very intimate and kept as a small group of students. The setting is non judgmental and conducive to learning. You won't feel pressured or "on the spot," all while learning a lot. Visitor lot parking is available as well as street parking. Pam provides lots of treats to snack on. Other classes offered: ACLS, PLS, NRP, EKG, telemetry (full listing on their site) Great for new grad RNs trying to get certifications to be competitive for jobs.

Our daughter was diagnosed with ADHD at age 5. At age 12, her ADHD was confirmed, along with…read morelearning and communication disorders. A curious child, she enjoyed experimenting, learning and being around other children. However, as her learning disorders became more and more apparent, she started to suffer from the academic and social challenges that resulted from them, and often felt overwhelmed and helpless. She started to retract and become anxious. As we became cognizant of the lack of awareness regarding learning disorders in spite of their prevalence, we embarked on an incredible journey of self-discovery, acceptance, hard work, self-advocating and empowerment. For years, our daughter had regular sessions with an occupational therapist, orthoptic specialist, tutor, behavioral therapist, etc. and, although they provided support, the results yielded were slow to come and not conclusive. LearningRx' targeted, intensive, results-driven, and proven methods have helped our daughter in ways that we could have only imagined. After completing a ten-month program, her academic skills are near par with her peers. Her mindset has completely shifted, which has boosted her self-confidence, and she is now more carefree about school and life in general. We are confident that she will continue on this path, knowing that she has the power to change things thanks to all her efforts and the proper training. We are forever grateful to have been able to benefit from the programs and the incredible team of educators/coaches at LearningRx Honolulu! Thank you all so much, you're amazing!!! No child with a learning disability should have to suffer when solutions such as LearningRx exist. We hope that more and more children will be able to benefit from these programs and shine their light!

I had a really good time getting my CNA certification here. I'm not saying the school couldn't use…read moreany room for improvement, but I definitely learned a lot and made some great friends along the way. I had just finished my first semester of UH Nursing School when I took the CNA course, so I think that did give me some advantages. A lot of what I was learning was review, but it definitely was NOT as easy as I had thought it would be. Here are some tips if you are taking the CNA class. This is for the WAIPAHU AM class. I can't comment on the Honolulu classes or the Waipahu Evening class. - Get your TB and physical exam requirements done BEFORE you start the class. Seriously. - Do not park in the lot directly in front of the building or you will get towed. Park in the slanted stalls to the left (when you are facing the building) or the stalls in front of Max's. There is always ample parking close to the building. The Kalihi location parking is very tricky. - If you are a nursing student (or anyone else) and you signed up for Package A, make sure that you have your First Aid Certification. A majority of us didn't realize that we had our CPR certifications, but NOT First Aid. You need both for clinicals. We had to end up paying $40 to take the First Aid course at the Kalihi location in order to get the certification to take clinicals. - About 18 or 19 people out of the 27 in our class were already enrolled in nursing programs (bachelor's to become an R.N.). Most of these were from Chaminade, 3 of us were from UH, and 2 were at HPU. The rest were either people trying to get their feet wet in the healthcare field or were eventually trying to get into an LPN or RN program. - The class was LARGE. 27 people in a tiny classroom. If you are able to, try to get into a class that is smaller so you get more individualized attention and simply because the room was just way too small for all of us. - If you are signed up for the Waipahu location, don't expect everything to be at Waipahu. The clinicals are in town (Convalescent Center of Hawaii by Kuakini Hospital). Also, the First Aid/CPR course and the medical terminology classes are in town at the Kalihi location. Most people end up carpooling, but keep that in mind, especially if you don't have a car. - The stethoscope and BP kit that come with Package B and C aren't the best. They'll get you by just fine enough for the course, but if you're planning on making healthcare a career, I would highly suggest investing in a Littman stethoscope. - Since class is 6 days a week, I would also recommend having at LEAST 2 pairs of the white scrubs, but preferably 3 unless you plan on re-wearing your scrubs without washing them or doing laundry constantly. HT&CC sells them for $28 a pair which is pretty reasonable, but there might be other places on island that sell them for cheaper. If you have lots of time before your class starts, try looking online for white scrubs. I'm sure they're cheaper online. - Keep in mind that when you take the CNA training course, you get a certificate from HT&CC that says you completed the course. HOWEVER, you are NOT a Certified Nurse Assistant until you complete and successfully pass the American Red Cross exam, which is $275 or $285 if you take it through HT&CC. Until you pass the American Red Cross exam, you are only qualified to work as a Nurse Aid. NOT a "Certified" Nurse Aid/Assistant. The fail rate is high for the ARC license exam, so prepare in advance. - The Waipahu classroom A/C works a little too well, so bring a jacket. - There are plenty of places to eat around the Waipahu location. Much better food selection than the Kalihi location in my opinion. You have Leeward Drive-Inn, Thelma's, Max's, Golden Coin, L&L, Kin Sing, Jollibee, 7-11, Pacific Supermarket, etc all a super short walk away. Try to bring home lunch if you can to save money and calories. None of these fast food places are healthy. - The instructors switch out almost every day, but we had about 3 consistent instructors. Norma and Dr. Danao were our main instructors. Both of them have completely different teaching styles, but they were both great. - The book that is included with the course is actually really well-written and concise. I actually ordered the official American Red Cross Nurse Assistant textbook used through Amazon (for $19), and it was WAY thicker and more dense. There is a free online version of the ARC textbook online on the ARC website. - If you have tattoos, they will still let you take the course and attend clinicals, but you will have to cover them up. - No water fountains at the Waipahu building, bring your own water. - Clinicals are at Convalescent. Carpool b/c there is extremely limited street parking & parking at Kuakini is super expensive. Have fun :) It really is a good class.

I'm so thankful for that, because if a close friend hadn't told me about this team and had both of her daughters enrolled, we probably never would have thought to join. What first attracted me to the team was the bright light, huge smile, and genuine heart of the wonderful coach and owner of 808 Cheer, Coach Britt. My daughter was only 7 years old when we started, back when practices were held at the Kapolei High School outdoor pavilion. I'll never forget Coach Britt always saying that one day she would have her own gym, in God's time. For the moment, she would say, "This is what we have, and we'll make the most of it." as the girls rolled up and put away mats. We stuck with her and the team through COVID, and when we came back, the growth for so many of our girls was incredible. Fast forward to today, we're now practicing in an amazing facility in Waipahu, and that gym she once talked about and prayed for has truly come to life. What I appreciate most is that tuition is very affordable, uniforms are reasonably and competitively priced, and there are no strange fundraising requirements or pressure to purchase extra things. Everything feels honest, family-oriented, and focused on the kids. 808 Cheer has truly been a blessing for our family, and we're grateful to be part of the journey.

I came here with my husband for some volunteering…read more I was extremely happy in how they cater and handle the military families. Kids are the ones often affected by what happens as being in a military family. My husband and I can understand for we were both raised in a military family as well. The kids were great and full of spirit. In the classrooms, it was nice to see that they involved the kids in being responsible for various things. Each kid gets the chance to be in charge of something. It's a great thing for kids at their age to learn respect and responsibility before they get any older. All responsibilities that given to them are simple and ones they can uphold to when they are at home and elsewhere. In the cafeteria, it was run based on class. The little ones went first as they still had to get their naptime in. The teachers stayed with them to make sure they were eating and drinking as much of their food as possible and not play around while doing so which is important as when that young, they have a very short attention span. They do have someone to watch over the kids. When it became too loud, lights were turned off and all the kids had to stop what they were doing and wait until otherwise. Each class had a leader to take them and their classmates back to class. Kids that haven't been on their best behavior weren't allowed to be leader. This might seem a bit much but I believe it shows how important it can be to be on your best behavior no matter where you go. If not, expect there to be some kind of consequence(s). All the older kids are quite helpful when it came to big events and needing to put things away. They take on orders without question. They all help each other out. It's great to see how obedient they are. I hope they carry it at their own home and other places. The teachers and other staff members are a pleasant to work with. They do what they can to assist volunteers and make us feel welcomed. I didn't know how to act when I first came here, but they welcomed us with open arms and guided us around the school. Food and drink were provided for us to help us get through the long hours and the blistering heat. Hope to work with this school again one day.
