CharacteristicRatingComment
Would Recommend?yesThe school is conveniently located and provides a well-rounded education.
Program Reputation7It is the only school in our area that gives the CNA certificate. It helps place CNAs in the county nursing home.
Program Quality6The instructors are well qualified. The hours that the course takes place fit in with my schedule.
Instruction6The instructors had experience in the field as nurses. We had clinicals that were eye-openers.
How Difficult6There was a load of homework. The quizzes were difficult.
Hands-On vs. BookishThere was a lot of reading to do. We also had to read a lot at home.
Schedule Flexibility2While the hours fit my schedule, there is only one set of hours to choose from. People with children would have to hire a babysitter -- a big expense.
Academic Facilities5There is no library or computer lab. There are no tutors or study groups. The classrooms are spacious.
Social Life1There is no school spirit. You go, listen, take notes, and then go home.
Placement Services8The affiliated nursing home is always hiring. They like hiring from the vo-tech school.
Alumni NetworkThe school does not have an alumni network. However, the school is run by the county. The county also has a nursing home that hires CNAs.
