Hi, I'm Gricelda, and this will be a lengthy review!…read more I am an LVN graduate, Class of 2025, from Lotus Medical Career College. My experience at this school was incredibly positive. The professors were excellent and always pushed us to become the best versions of ourselves. The front desk staff worked tirelessly to keep everything in order, and they always made an effort to decorate for holidays like Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. They did a beautiful graduation for us as well. I was fortunate to have a small class, and over time, we became like a second family. The friendships I made here will last a lifetime. As for the Director of Nursing (DON), Ms. Assima, I know some reviews describe her as strict, but I see it differently. She has a strong and passionate teaching style, always pushing students not to give up and never to be lazy. Her focus is on education and success, and she truly wants every student to pass. The fact that she never dropped a single student speaks volumes she's not just about the money, as some people in reviews suggest. She genuinely cares about her students and has a big heart for helping people. Now, about the program itself wow! It was intense, with five days of classes per week for nearly a year. You have to be mentally prepared for that level of commitment and willing to put in the work. Studying hard is a must, and the ATI... oh boy, that's a beast! But like anything else, if you put in the effort, you can master it. I'm currently working on my ATI Green Light so I can take the NCLEX-PN, and I will truly miss this school. I have no doubt that Lotus Medical Career College will continue to be a great school for decades to come. It would be amazing if Ms. Assima expanded the school to offer an LVN-to-RN bridge program. She is motivated, capable, and passionate about education, and I know many of us would love to come back for further learning. I'll try to update this review once I pass the Green Light and NCLEX. I have to send all the staff thank you gifts as wellThank you to everyone at Lotus Medical Career College for this unforgettable journey. Class of 2025

And without Sherry and Charles being there for me, showing support and encouragement, I honestly wouldn't have.

I feel so good and positive about my future. They honestly will hold your hand do whatever it takes for you to graduate. A heartfelt thank you to Sherry and Charles for believing in me when I didn't believe in myself. I promise you, if you choose to attend US College for your career, you will not regret it.

Healthstaff has been one of the best experiences I could have ever had. I attended the Drug and…read moreAlcohol program and successfully completed the courses and internship in July 2023. Immediately after finishing, I was hired by the same company where I completed my internship. Through this opportunity, I was able to gain valuable experience as a Case Manager, later work for the county as a Prevention Specialist and Counselor, and eventually serve as an Assistant Program Director at a residential facility. When I was ready to obtain my CADC, my instructor at Healthstaff, Miguel Palos, went above and beyond to support me. He provided exam review sessions, guidance on study materials, and insight into what to expect on test day. Thanks to his support, I passed my exam with confidence and without anxiety. I have recommended Healthstaff's program to many people and will continue to do so--especially the classes taught by Miguel. This program truly prepared me for success in the field.

Every single instructor was extremely helpful and Captain Ed Cook was the nicest, patient, and thorough teacher I've ever had. I'm personally not a book guy but he explained everything in a way I could grasp the information. If you're thinking of choosing an EMT program, I would 1000% recommend Fire Future. Was able to pass the course my first try thanks to everyone at Fire Future. Thank you so much guys!

I lost my mom in late 2025 to liver cancer. She was in/out of hospitals, rehabilitation and acute…read morecare facilities, towards the end, home hospice care. It was one of the most traumatic experiences of my life. For the most part, she received quality care. It was the horrible care she received an acute care facility, that motivated me to pursue a career as a health care advocate for seniors. The seniors without family and friends received subpar care and treatment. I was at the facility daily and had to pull teeth to insist on her getting the bare minimum care. My employment background is mostly in transportation and finance. I cared for my mom and received a 40 hour a month salary for 24 hours a day care as an IHSS provider. I wanted to expand my resume and become a Certified Nurse Assistant as well as a Certified Home Health Care Provider. My goal is to have a few clients to assist from home to the hospital. I needed an online school that would allow me to have days free to address probate, financial and grief therapy concerns. I googled CNA schools in the Riverside county area and selected McKallen Medical.The knowledge I obtained at McKallen not only broadened my natural patient centered care instincts, it provided me with additional tools, resources and knowledge that has opened my heart and soul. I enrolled in the CNA course 4 months after my moms death. I was stuck in the bargaining stage of grief. I was being triggered by some of the lessons. It was a daily barrage of " if I could of, would of, should of" mental gymnastics. Logically, I knew that I did not have the knowledge to know what steps could have made a difference in my mothers care. However, in the midst of grief, you are filled with guilt and despair. After my first week of theory, I notified administration and told them I was struggling with the course. Tre Green, was not only understanding, he was compassionate and empathetic. He advised me to take as much time as I needed and pursue the course when I was ready to move forward. Eventually I re-started the course with Instructor Mary Montantes-Peck. She was a SUPERB INSTRUCTOR. She is passionate, knowledgeable and engaged. She is the prime example of passing on to others what she embodies as a human being. I am a firm believer that we give to the world, the skills, values and growth mindset that we have. Mary's knowledge about resident/patient care comes from a deep compassionate core. Alex Portillo, the clinical instructor, was great as well. Alex made what could have been a high stress environment into a calm, smooth and knowledgeable experience. There were a few issues with the skills lab training, so this is the reason for a 4 star review. Overall, I had a wonderful experience. I am deeply grateful and appreciative for what McKallen Medical Training provided. I would highly recommend the school to all potential enrollees. Just go in with an open heart and mind and you will reap the benefits and rewards.
