I'm not sure why this school got such negative reviews as I had a great experience…read more All Yelp reviews should be taken with a grain of salt, including mine, but consider the mentality of the reviewers: super salty or super appreciative. I'm the latter. Here's my experience in a few words: Admin staff is fantastic. Instructors were rigorous but fair. Some of the students I felt weren't paying attention as much as they should have so they, the instructors (such as Tessa or Jasmine) had to be a little stricter. I feel like if you're going to pay for a class, you'd want to pay attention and not act out like entitled children. You want to go into healthcare, fasten your seatbelts because it wasn't designed to be easy. We're all adults, let's be accountable for our actions and be professionals. Clinicals we're challenging but flexible: we went to a skilled nursing facility and rehab center which was near by (which was very convenient). It was great to put the skills we learned in class and apply it to real world scenarios. CPR certification helped me be prepared for my life in healthcare and bolstered my resume to make me more visible to headhunters. After the program, the school helped me with recommendation letters and referrals to local skilled nursing facilities, home healthcare opportunities, and rehab centers. Consider my review before looking for another nursing school. This is an excellent place to start your career in healthcare. Consider NBNI.

I recently completed my ACLS and BLS renewal with Vive CPR, and honestly... this was one of the…read morebest certification experiences I've had (and I've done a few over the years). Aaron, the instructor, is next level. He's incredibly knowledgeable, but more importantly, he actually knows how to teach. He breaks things down in a way that makes sense, connects the dots, and helps you understand the "why" behind what you're doing--not just memorize it. I found myself thinking multiple times, "Where was this guy when I was in nursing school?" He really knows his stuff--and teaches it in a way that sticks. The blended learning format (online + in-person skills) was a lifesaver with a busy schedule. It made the course doable without feeling overwhelming, while still being thorough and hands-on where it matters. Also--communication was on point. Any questions I had were answered quickly, which made the whole process feel smooth and supported. If you're looking for a no-BS, high-quality ACLS/BLS course with an instructor who actually cares that you get it... this is it. Highly, highly recommend.

I'm so thankful for everything I learned and would definitely recommend this program to anyone thinking about becoming a Clinical Medical Assistant!

I would've done 1 star but I don't want to be too rude. My experience at VNS was…read morevery...interesting. Miss Josie thinks highly of herself, which is fine but she doesn't need to remind everyone that she is #1 every single day. She has no problem calling someone stupid or how she likes to say "no coconut meat" or "mulala". She had no shame on calling one of the other students "Mulala" and had no shame on doubting one of the students. She continually would say "I think ____ quit" or "I think ____ isn't going to make it as a CNA" as a teacher it is not your job to doubt a student but to encourage them. Also she can't hear a majority of the time which was quite annoying and $1600+ for the program is too much in my opinion, I did the M-F AM class, it was TORTURE. Be prepared to sit in a small room listening to Miss Josie talk on and on and on, about things that shouldn't even be mentioned in a class, AND about very personal things. The scrubs and handbook and fingerprints not being part of the $1600 price is ridiculous. $1600 is already so much and she's too cheap to include the other important necessities!? We also didn't get a graduation, which is ridiculous, just because we were are small class doesn't make us any less deserving of a graduation, she told us we'd take the final exam and have a graduation just for her to offer us a graduation the next day (after the final exam) which is crazy, we don't have free time we have jobs and school and things we need to do, it could've been planned better. Clinicals was actually pretty great, it was refreshing to not be in a lecture for 8 hours a day. I would think twice before choosing this school, I only chose it because it was closest to me, but I'd definitely choose another school if I could start over. Please choose a school that will pay for you state exams, scrubs, handbook, etc. also it's a bit weird how this school is "SO Great" and "Ms Josie is #1" when there's only 11 google reviews and only 6 yelp reviews when this school has been open since the 90's...makes you really wonder.....let's see how long this post lasts. Good luck to everyone attempting.

I went to this CNA school while my friend went to another one so we were able to compare which is…read morebetter. Hands down, this CNA school is THE ONE. The other schools rushed their students too much and didn't guide them that well with the process of getting licensed. Vallejo Nursing School is the complete opposite. Josie is very knowledgeable and will teach you all the things you need to know to be licensed and if you are struggling, she's very patient and passionate in helping you. She provides nourishments to keep our brain active because of the long hours and keeps us entertained along the way during clinicals. She makes all of us feel like a family and all of us were very comfortable with each other considering the amount of days of only getting to know each other. It's as if the place is a safe place to be. And I was there during the peak of the pandemic. Now comes for the hard part, review week and the state exam. I have test anxiety and this was my first actual "state" exam so I was so nervous and was counting down the days to get it over with. Josie along with her staff are great support system and will NEVER make you feel alone. I sometimes get off track and lost but they're so patient and will guide you UNTIL YOU GET THAT LICENSE. THEY CARE SO MUCH. If you're considering becoming a CNA and is looking for a good school, this is it!

Ms. Didi was the instructor for this program and she truly cares about her students. The program was 21 days and may seem long initially, but it flies by quickly. I met some wonderful classmates along the way and had an overall fantastic experience! Ms. Didi, Mr. Dell, and Dr. Marilyn are knowledgeable, passionate, and truly dedicated to student success. The program offers a great mix of theoretical knowledge and hands-on practice, with small class sizes that allow for personalized instruction. The clinical rotations provided invaluable real-world experience, and the staff was supportive every step of the way. I highly recommend this program to anyone serious about becoming a CNA or looking to gain experience prior to nursing/medical school. It's a rewarding experience that prepares you for the healthcare field. Thank you again, Ms. Didi for a wonderful learning experience!

I attended MCC for their CNA Program and could not recommend it more for anyone who's considering…read moreit. Miss Didi was my instructor and was, by far, the best teacher I've ever had. She genuinely wanted every student to succeed. Each lecture, she shared insight from her professional experience, gave plenty of examples of how different scenarios would look in practice, and always welcomed discussions when something wasn't clear. During clinicals, she provided so much guidance and support, followed by thoughtful debriefs at the end of each day. She took the time to connect what we learned in theory to the real patients we worked with, which made everything make so much more sense. Miss Didi prepared me incredibly well for the state exam. I felt confident enough to take the written exam the day after graduating and the skills exam three days later, passing both with flying colors. Additionally, Mr. Dell and Dr. Marilyn were extremely supportive and checked in often to make sure we had what we needed throughout the program. I wanted to add that while MCC does not guarantee placement to a facility with their program, it is important to note that there are A LOT of opportunities for networking that Miss Didi and MCC offers. For my class, Miss Didi had several administrators and DSD's speak with us about their facilities, offering insight, applications, and contact information should you decide to apply. I just interviewed for my top choice facility and have been offered employment contingent on passed reference checks, background check and fingerprinting. I graduated from my program 8 days ago. You get what you put into the program, and being open to communication and learning will lead you to the start of a rewarding career. Overall, MCC made the whole experience feel worth it, and I feel truly set up for success moving forward.
