One word to summarize MJC : useless…read more I challenge anyone to find a single graduate from this college that isn't a nurse (or some lesser derivative, like RT or LVN). There's a good chance you won't, because that's all this college ever produces. Back when I was a young (and very naive) human I used to think college and higher education was for advancing humanity. Building better technology, scaling, furthering our understanding of the universe. Boy, was I mistaken, because at MJC I learned the truth about what college is REALLY for. Which is just to PRETEND to want all that but actually just kiss @$$, smile, feign competence, and, most importantly, try to get a big paycheck. ​​​​​​At MJC, everyone just agrees with the majority, and logic or critical thinking? Hah! Nice sense of humor you got there . Now that's what I have to say about the students there and how they're nothing but incompetent Muppets. Let's talk about the college as a whole Releasing nothing but Healthcare workers. Why does MJC do this? Because its the easiest field for incompetence to hide. You see, as a plumber, you either fixed the sink or you didnt. As an electrician, your light either works, or it doesn't. If you're a mechanic, the car either runs... or it doesn't. But in Healthcare there's plenty of incompetent actors to flourish behind ambiguity. The right approach, the right mannerisms, the right personality. All of these are subjective and debatable, unlike whether or not a car simply runs. Another reason why Modesto poops out these useless Healthcare workers is because its the easiest "problem" to fabricate. If your car runs, you assume it works. If your sink drains, you assume no problem. Theres no "nuance", theres no "condition", theres nothing to attach narratives to. Theres no "your car work, oh but it has 'autism' and thats why you need to also give it this". Theres also no emotions. Your car gets serviced for an oil change, there no gut wrenching potential (or phantasmal) "cancer" thats going to demand big monies to cure a "problem" you didnt know you had. Healthcare is the easiest field to scam humans with because it has the biggest cloud of ambiguity and distortion compared to the trades. Its honestly sickening once you see it for what it is. Im not about to waste my life on gaslighting nonsense, even if it pays well. Besides, I can do much better with my capabilities without these uselsss "higher" education camps. I'd give it one star but then I'd be completely also discrediting the useless sciences I did learn there like Anatomy, Physio, and Microbiology. But beyond a few worthwhile classes (that you cant even really capitalize on without significant capital) going here is a waste if you truly want to level up your intelligence. But if your goal is to be a mindless drone and collect a paycheck, itll probably serve that function. ​​​​​​

I recently graduated from this college & it's the best decision I've made! All great experiences…read morefrom all the teachers & staff! Mrs. Mora & Ms. Furbay were my favorite! I was in the medical assistant program & the Dean helped me switch from night time classes to day classes very quickly at my request, it was something that was in my best interest at the time & she was so helpful & would always get back to me! After externship I got hired on at the extern site! My career advisor Yannet is the best! She helped me with getting me ready for graduation along with securing my job from extern! Highly recommend SJVC/CARRINGTON College! If you're even considering enrolling, just do it! I just opened a new chapter in my life in the healthcare industry & I don't regret it!

Teacher was let go three weeks into the six week course because she was not lecturing and would leave the classroom multiple times a day. No formal apology was given by owner. The owner took over the class and spent half of his time talking about his political views, which made me and other students uncomfortable. I got the highest grade in the class (no thanks to the course but to hours of studying) and was asked to come back for FREE to help teach the class. The classroom environment was no place for learning and could not even be compared to any high school course I've taken. Please don't give your money to this business.

I'm currently in Module 2 of the LVN program at Gurnick Academy of Medical Arts and I truly have…read morehad such a positive experience so far. The staff and instructors genuinely care about their students and want to see us succeed. Mr. Bennie has been incredibly helpful throughout the program. He is very professional, always answers questions, and takes the time to guide students through any challenges. No matter what comes up, he always finds a way to help us out and make sure we stay on track. Ms. Brenda is truly an angel on earth. She is compassionate, supportive, and always encourages us when things get stressful. Her kindness makes such a difference during nursing school. Ms. Paula is an amazing teacher who explains concepts clearly and helps students feel confident in the material. She pushes us to do our best while still being supportive and understanding. Ms. Antoinette is the most patient and kind clinical instructor. She takes her time teaching us in clinicals and makes sure we feel comfortable learning hands-on skills. She creates such a positive learning environment and truly cares about her students. All of them have guided me, supported me, and helped me find the resources I need to continue growing in this program. Nursing school is not easy, but having instructors and staff like this makes all the difference. I can't wait to finish the program and continue my journey in nursing!

Please read before enrolling. I have just graduated from this LVN program, and I can honestly say…read morethat throughout the entire 12 months, the program was extremely unorganized. Module 1 was by far the most difficult not because of the material itself, but due to poorly prepared instructors who did not seem knowledgeable about what they were teaching, along with administration that relied heavily on fear and intimidation rather than support. Module 2 continued with the same issues. When I reached out for help regarding a class concern, I contacted Mr. Baca, the VN coordinator, and received a very cold, dismissive response. There was no compassion, no guidance, and his demeanor was unprofessional, rude, and insincere. This lack of support was consistent throughout the program. Module 3 was overall the easiest academically; however, the Med-Surg 2 instructor was frequently absent and displayed petty behavior, which further reflected the program's lack of structure and accountability. Module 4 was the one exception. Dawn, the OB instructor, was exceptional--she is one of the most passionate and dedicated nurses I have ever met. Ms. Charmaine, the instructor thats a NICU nurse was also outstanding and truly amazing. These two instructors were the highlight of the program and the only ones who genuinely cared about student learning and success. Along with Jay the clinical instructor, he holds a lot of passion for what he does. I did pass the exit exam and have completed the program. I would only recommend this school to individuals who are 100% committed to becoming a nurse, highly resilient, and capable of navigating a program with minimal support. Unfortunately, there is little to no help from instructors or management. Ms.Tu although i did not speak to her much she was always professional and helpful when i did contact her. Overall, this program lacks organization, professionalism, and adequate student support.

You would think that the Main Mechanic AKA Teacher who is teaching these students what to do would check all the students works on the car once finished to make sure it was at least safe to drive and done decently... I think it was checked half ass and not properly... Had them put new shocks and struts on and they did exactly that... Took the car to Midas to have the brakes done which i'm glad I had Midas do and not them... Come to find out none of our tires were on correctly and bolted in properly. Midas looked at us like we were lucky to be alive. Tires were extremely loose and had so much wiggle room once lifted up... Please check and double check your work! They taught me a lesson to not come back to have free work done or recommend this school to anyone...
