Called to get some info on their CNA certification program for my daughter. The guy that answered the phone told me to go their website. That all the info I need to know is on there. I go to their website and read, but still had questions; class start dates, class times, full or part time, cost, etc. So I called back. This mf was rude asf. "I TOLD YOU TO LOOK AT THE WEBSITE, EVERYTHING IS ON THERE...wth??? The guy is rude AND he's hard to understand b/c of his foreign accent. Cannot imagine my daughter learning or putting up with these people. She wouldn't graduate AND I'd probably be in Santa Rita for knocking this FOB out. read more

I got my CNA diploma there. Great classes and a respectful staff. It was great. I graduated, third, in my class and a 3.8 GPA. It was a great experience read more

Don't waste your money on this school, nonprofessional, poor teaching style, rudeness , only ok things it's cheap and quick. But I wouldn't trust the teachings, working from worst books I've ever seen in school, the instructor is all over the place with personal conversation which has nothing to do with cna training. Teacher ask questions and when you get it right she'll still say you wrong,, but will give the same answer by re-wording it, as if some of us don't already have life experience or job experience on the matter. Her husband who is her secretary/assistant is rude and angry behaved. They need to get it together or shut this place down, make a short program very difficult to get through. If I knew what I know now, I wouldn't have gone through this program. Find a better school. read more

I'm giving five stars to this school because I'm satisfied with what I have learned from this school as one of the CNA students in November 2021. The Instructor and the Administrator are knowledgeable and straightforward mentors. They guided us step by step until we graduated. The way they handled their business is a bit different than other. The school was set up as old-style and was dark inside. From what I have heard that: Back then, during class lecture, there was a person who went straight from the front door to the back door without asking. It was disturbing their students, and they closed that door permanently also they made the Office private. I have to be honest about how I felt when I first came to this school. I was asking myself that am I applying to the right school?. I have told myself, I have to give myself a try. After my first went by, I realized that Mrs. Josie is an acknowledgment person who I admire and appreciate. Every single lecture day she taught, it was a valuable lesson for whom pursuing or interesting in nursing programs. Mr. Danny is a strict and straightforward person who I respect. He is the person who willing to help you if I ask and show him with my respect. After we graduated, we went back to school to thanks him and Mrs. Josie. We all wishing that they have LVN/RN programs open in near future, so we can continue the education there. For my whole life, I was telling myself that I wanted to learn from people, and there was so much thing for me to learn. How can I learn from all of them?. I believe each person there is good thing that I need to learn. I decided to learn a good thing from each person and greated my own personality. I also believe if you give away something, you can get it back. For example, if you say good morning to someone, they will say good morning back. Back to before the test date. I was nervous due to short time. Mr. Danny said. "You are doing fine and you have to believe in yourself''. I kept practicing my clinical in class with my classmates and relearning lectures at home. Finally, I DID IT!!!. I PASSED the BROAD EXAM on my FIRST TIME. I'm truly and deeply appreciate Mrs. Josie and Mr.Danny from the bottom of my heart!. read more

VIP Nursing School - November 2021 class graduation ! - Nursing Schools Near Me - San Leandro, California

This nursing school is the best for someone who would like to be a CNA. It is literally intense program that you can get a CNA certificate only in one month. Most of all, Josie, the instructor is a very theoretically and clinically knowledgable. she taught me skills and examples, which can happen in reality, in details as much as she can. It helps me a lot since I have been working as a CNA. She is busy but always answer my questions and makes me clear when I am not sure and I do not know. I can tell how great she is as an instructor. I noticed I already learned almost everything from her when I had took an advanced Acute care program. I did not need to take the Acute care program. Administration director, Danny is very organized and gives me information what I need. They always support students. Most of VIP students who graduated from VIP Nursing School are caring for patients or residents with good knowledge and skills, and they help other CNAs or co-workers a lot. My daughter took a CNA program from other nursing school ahead of me. It took 3 month and the tuition was more than double. I strongly recommend Vip nursing school if you are interested in being a CNA. You can become a well-educated and well-trained CNA with less time, low cost, and a good quality of instruction. read more

I completed the course in August of this year. Josie, RN was my instructor and she is AMAZING. It's not an easy course to take but the staff works hard to provide all you need to be successful. Josie and Danny were supportive and helpful to me all along. Glad I chose this school and would recommend it to others. read more

I would like to thank Mrs. Josephine & Mr. Danny for teaching us the proper way to become a Certified Nursing Assistant.. They are very straight foward & all you have to do is listen very carefully to what they are teaching you. It is really upon the student if he or she wants to learn, they teach the proper way to pass the state exam & skills. This is the #1 best school in Northern California on becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant the right way. Thank you again! God bless read more

This school is strict that's why I passed. Danny and Josie taught me how to do things correctly and the other school keep messing up when finals came. Their teachings are very detailed so thumbs up!! read more

San Leanro don't know why the other two students gave such good reviews, but this school and it's instructor is very unprofesssional, the only good things I can say about the program is its a short term and flexible program. Other than that the owner who is the only instructor says a lot of things that has nothing to do with fact or medical background or from a book it's from her personal opinion which is not helpful when your preparing to take a state test. I completed a CNA class in 2011 with limited help from this instructor(I had to get a CNA book from the library and do major studying on my own) and poor quality CNA books that she says she wrote herself but looks like she made copies of other quality books and had it bonded and stapled at a copy shop. The instructor is very short in temper and doesn't want students to ask to many if any questions, she lets students enroll who she know doesn't understand english very well but then gets mad when they fail or misunderstand her information. The two other reviewers say how great this instructor is well her personallity has obviously changed since she taught you two or your friends of hers giving her a good review which isn't the truth.. I wouldn't recommend or send anyone to this school, given there aren't any other instructors who can help you and her husband registers students so he's no help he lies to get students to register by saying they have multiple instructors when in fact they don't. She teaches day and night probably the reason for her bad attitude and temper with students. Second reason I wouldn't go there they don't have a real CNA book to learn from or work booklets. The third reason what the instructor did cover wasn't enough lecture wise or hands on wise to make you a really good CNA it's just enough to make you a half A** CNA. And if this school ever offer the LVN which I doubt they will, their to unprofessional and unorganized with the CNA program, I wouldn't pay them that kind of money for what they lack. Go to another school that's bigger that offers real teachers and a willing staff. There are schools that charge what this one does and have way more help for their students. read more

If you would like to ensure that you will pass your CNA exam, take this course. It's very straightforward and as long as you do your part on paying attention in class, being on time, and asking questions Danny and Josie will help you make sure you have things down. It isn't easy at first but they will make sure you are doing things the correct way. read more

VIP nursing school knows what they are teaching / doing, they know how to share their expertise, they can guide you to the correct ways of being a healthcare professional. They uses / maximize the time very efficiently. I could not ask for more, as we were studying, we were also having fun. To VIP: Sir D, Ma'am J, Ms K, more power to you guys!!! I am very much inspired by you, I hope that you continue educating aspiring students like us. See you again!!! VIP, VIP, VIP!!! read more

The EDUCATION is GREAT, very FAST PACED but GREAT KNOWLEDGE... On the other hand The STAFF is very RUDE, especially DANNY. He doesn't listen and over talks you !! JOSIE Is AWESOME, she definitely knows her stuff and doesn't mind helping people who want to learn. But she is short tempered read more

VIP Nursing School: From the outside, it looks abandoned. I was kind of scared to even walk in. But I did anyways. In the inside, it looks like a drug deal office. The man in the front desk (who I assume is one of the owners) was helping a guy, so I just sat down in one of the chairs and waited for him to help me out. When the guy he was helping left, he rudely asked me "Can i help you?" I told him that I wanted information on the CNA Program. He pointed at a stack of papers and rudely responded "take one of these". NCP College of Nursing: From the outside it looks a bit odd, but way nicer than VIP. In the inside, it is clean and organized. The receptionist is incredible and totally nice. They consulted me, and gave me a packet that contains all the information I need. 100 times more professional than VIP! Overall I can say that the people at VIP DO NOT want YOUR BUSINESS! If they do then they need to make a shit load of improvements. I was only in there for 5 minutes, and I already made up my mind that I am not going back. The cost is pretty much the same. I want to be treated like a human, not a a dog. read more

I also went here for my CNA certification back in 2004. Auntie Josie and uncle Danny are awesome!! They really help if others are struggling learning their skills and they also provide CPR classes so you don't have to worry about finding one. If you refer friends, they gave you some money back. You do meet a lot of great people, as Nico was my classmate =) read more

I just called to inquire for Lvn nursing programand the guy answered rudely.Even though they dont offer the lvn program,they could just answer politely.They are one of the unprofessional schools I have contacted. read more

Josie is a very good tutor, she not only prepares you for CNA, but she also gives you tips useful in your RN program. Josie knows how to teach but she is short tempered. Dany is such a jerk. I read on this page about him being rude but I went ahead and registered with them anyways, what a mistake. He is much nicer to Asians and others that speak his language. He sees you doing the wrong thing and instead of correcting you speaks in his language to another person who understands him and they both make jest of you. When dealing with Africans, and African American he is short-tempered, sees everything as an insult and you end up wondering what you said that triggered him. such an arse! If you try to ignore him, he notices and just makes snides comment to others in his language, their frequent glance at you gives them away. finally, there is this statement they utter that rubs me off the wrong way, " you will fail". They utter this statement every day, every time before correcting you. I get you are trying to prepare us for the state exam but positivity doesn't hurt. They say it all the time! This kills and brings down confidence. Register here is like playing a game of Russian roulette, at your own risk. read more

I don't know how when, and why things have change over the years, but i can say that, v i p is one of the best schools to do your your C N A course at. when i came from Africa in 2007 it was the first school i went to. Auntie Josie and uncle Danny were very sweet and nice. they helped me with all that i needed and i was able to passed my state board. I got my first job a week after i finished school, and i can say that, am one of the best C N A around, because they thought me well. where ever u go to get a job and u tell then that u want to V I P nursing school, u will get taken first before nurses who went to other schools. read more

I went here for my CNA course. Just in under a month and under a grand (for all expenses) I was able to successfully pass the CNA state board. Friendly staff, especially Josie and very good and effective teaching. Your classmates end up being your friends and sometimes even more than that. Overall i had a great experience here and would recommend it to those who are looking for a quick and effective way of getting their CNA license. Definitely worth the money because they train you well. I hear they're opening up an LVN program soon so keep on the lookout!! read more

I came in here the other day to get more information on what they had to offer and the asian male who came to the door was extremely rude to my an my other african american friend. He open the door an let it slam on us. He also was not very informative about the program. He seemed to be hostile towards me because I'm an African Americans. When i asked about the success rate of this program he stated to me i wouldn't understand the communication of the program. At that moment my friend and i felt as if he was racial profiling us and being prejudice towards us. He really didn't want us to join the program, he would not give me any straight answers then after he said they were only taking 15 people and those seats where filled now, but i recall the day before calling and one of the staff members stated that there was still room available. So to be honest with you if your a male of African American decent dont even try to come here the guy is very unwelcoming and unprofessional. Thumbs down read more

I attended & finished June 2015 i was skeptical at first, but after being in the class they really do make sure you know your stuff...what was so convenient was that i looked for this type of class every where in southern california they wanted $1600 for 9 weeks & all at once VIP nursing had a payment plan which helped me & they were so nice to let me sit in on another class to brush up my skills & feel confident before i took my test i would recommend this school to anybody i enjoyed the new people i met in class as well as the way they taught the material to us....Thank You Josie & Danny & happy new year to you ! .....JoAnn Ritter read more
