14 Best Bsn Programs In Fresno, CA (2022 Updated)

I've been attending FCC since summer of 2016 and will graduate, god willing, this spring 2019. Full time, year round, no breaks. Although parking requires at least an hour grace period, I believe the over all experience is what you make it. I've come across rude people maybe having a bad day and I've had instructors I could not relate to. Its all very frustrating. Its sad to say the success rate at this college is 17%. But, then again this is an adult school. Nobodies going to call your house when your absent or hold a parent-teacher conference when your not doing your work. I am working on a Human Service degree and have enjoyed the ups and downs of my classes. The load was a little heavier in a few and I had to buckle down and utilize the tutorial, ETC, PASS, Computer lab and all other resources available. In all the those places I found the staff and student help extremely eager to be of service. The assistance was much appreciated. Honestly, I don't think I could of got through math without it!Philip Tristan

I am not speaking for this business itself, merely the college district's education quality. I have taken classes at Fresno, Clovis, and Reedley Community College, and I have had an absolutely deplorable time. I don't feel like I'm getting anything from the classes; I don't feel the staff is prepared to teach online, if at all. If you are going to teach college-level English, you should not make punctuation and grammatical errors consistently. If you are teaching a law class, you should not do it from inherent bias and perspective. If you are conducting an online course, you should not have to hold up a piece of paper because you don't know how to make a slide. An absolute and utter waste of my time and money, I am so glad I got the nerve to go back to school; now I will find somewhere to teach me, educate me, and get me further in life.Mercedes Scott

Good college for students to get their AA degrees and this college has cheap tuition. Professors and management are also good and you can also transfer to a university after 2 years. It is said that Fresno City College is the first Community College in California. Registration to classes is simple and online, and they offer all kind of classes. It is better if you choose Nursing as a career because it pays off well. Check it out your self.boss Bhai

If anyone is looking into the medical assistant field please do yourself a favor and look at the pay rate and how much it costs to attend this horrible program. Program costs about 30k and MA barely make that yearly, you can go to a community college for about the same time and get paid to go. I cannot wait for SJVC to get sued for taking advantage of vulnerable people, giving false promises to students of a career in medical assistant, you will not be able to live on that type of low income. You have a better opportunity making more money at Target, most of my credits did not transfer even though I was told they would so I wasted my time. I had to retake most of my classes which I did in about the same time as I was at sjvc and will be applying to the nursing program. This is a horrible schoolJammy Jam

An amazing institution Went here as a student from Feb 2019 until graduation Oct 2019. I was enrolled in the front office medical admin program. 7 months and upon graduation, I passed and got nationally certified for billing/coding. My teacher Ms.Hernandez was amazing, caring and knowledgeable. The school and its staff went above and beyond for me (I was unemployed at the time) and now I am employed and have actual hope for my future. It taught me a variety of skills that applied in many jobs for medical assistants. The bad? It won't teach you everything. It won't get you a Masters Degree and a six figure job. But that's not the point of this trade School. It's a start, a path to better prospects. It's made good on that so far =)Vince M

I had previously been accepted to a university, having experience payment issues (that school was wicked expensive) I found SJVC, they help me make a smooth transition from the other school to there and my time there was amazing. Meeting different people from different programs and other people who just didn't want the traditional school experience. I went for my certificate MOA program (took 7 months of class time and 2 months of externship time). Loved my teacher and classmates and learning was easy and I understood all the lessons. I even got on the dean's list after getting my certificate. My career counselor even helped me find my full time job. Have nothing but good to say about this school and mostly my teacher.Jessica Hamilton

I am currently enrolled in the EMT program at National University, Fresno. I am thoroughly enjoying it. The instructors are very knowledgeable in the field, have tons of field experience, and are competent to teach. The only reason I didn't rate it fulls stars, is because this is the first time these instructors have not worked together. They are not all on the same page. and I feel like they could prepare a little more for their lectures. This however will improve(they have already improved) as this Fresno program continues. I am learning tons, and feel like I will be able to pass the class.Joel Michael Moutray

EMT program is amazing. It is organized, comprehensive, straight-forward, challenging, fun, and some. Coming in as a Registered Nurse, I was able to listen to other view points and learn different techniques. I feel is very valuable. The information taught was explained clearly and thoroughly, and time was taken for others until understood. We all learned as a team and grew together as a class. Our instructors helped build our confidence while also improving our leadership skills in command presence. I appreciate them, and I suggest this course to others. Worth it.R N

As a former graduate of NU Fresno Campus (2002) BS IT, I decided to attend an orientation for the EMT Program based on a notification. I was considering a career change and I definitely do not regret committing to this program. The instructors are all seasoned Paramedic Professionals and there is a lot of attention to hands on skills based learning. I will be going on my first ride along to experience an actual shift of EMT work. I recommend this program if you are interested in committing to a thorough and fast paced team oriented learning style.Laural Fawcett

Experienced friendly and courteous staff to answer my questions. I felt encouraged and confident to go into an area of great need and a perfect way for me to be a help to my community, especially during times like these. Thank you for your time and help and sharing the support and financial help that would be provided.Marilyn Cortez

I called to get information about the classes and also to visit the school. They were able to help me right away and give me all the info I need. The classroom was clean and the receptionist was nice and professional. I’m looking forward to applying for the CNA class! Maybe even the HHA class after I’m done.Liz K

The CNA program was recommended to me by a dear friend of mine. I was very impressed with the accessibility of information available on the website. I ended up making the decision to join the program and am so excited to start soon!Nathan Cortez

This was such a great experience and NATA really cares about their students and they were super helpful with everything as well. I honestly learned a lot and it was so much fun. Miss Mercy is an amazing teacher and she is so much fun as well. She gave all of us immense support and motivation. Thankyou Miss Mercy! Miss Connie was a great teacher too, she is such a nice lady and has a lot of good information. NATA’s office staff is super nice, professional and super helpful I am going to miss everyone, loved all the memories made in clinicals. Good luck classmates and future NATA students you guys will love this class don’t hesitate and come join the NATA team. Definitely worth it and it’s one of the best experiences ever! 5 stars!

Look no further, this is absolutely the best CNA program in Fresno for a multitude of reasons. The instructor, Ms.Jodie is hands down absolutely amazing. Not only does she do an amazing job at teaching you everything you need to know as a CNA, but goes above and beyond to ensure that you will pass the state exam. Which everyone in my class DID. It was almost TOO EASY to pass after everything she prepared us for. She genuinely cares for her students and it shows. I never felt embarrassed or judged when asking for more assistance on a particular skill, she always made us feel comfortable to share our concerns. She also was kind enough to write me a raving letter of recommendation to which I accredit my admission to my number one hospital job. I LOVE THIS PROGRAM BECAUSE OF HER!Josie Paniagua

Took this program almost a year ago and it was the best decision I've made in my medical career so far! Ms. Jodie was my instructor and she was AMAZING to say the least. She is tough and firm, but very fair! It is a lot of work, but it will prepare you for the skills needed in the future if you want to proceed with an education in nursing. I passed my state boards on the first try and have been working at Kaweah Health Hospital in ICCU/ICU and I would not be prepared to give the excellent care I provide if it wasn't for Ms. Jodie's training. Everyone was so helpful and kind from start to finish, this program is well worth it!Kascee Qualls

School staff is very nice but school is extremely unorganized. Everytime I called for assistance about admissions or registration I was given contradictory information. After finally being able to register for classes we were then given a wrong list of books to purchase for the classes (this happened 2 semesters in a row). All we got was an apology and given the correct book list to purchase the correct books.When I tried to book appointment my "advisor" was out on leave for 3 weeks. Hopefully they will get it together soon. Their mistakes kept costing me time and money and the only thing I got was an an apology but never a resolution.AMZN SEA

I got my undergrad here and to sugar coat it, I was not pleased at my experience here. There are always pros and cons to any university and this university was just not a good fit for me. There is a lot of disorganization and some internal conflicts. Just make sure you check out every opportunity and ask good questions before you make a big commitment. FPU does have some great professors. The business professors and bib.lit professors are nice and very personable! It was beneficial having my professors know me by name and to be able to have conversations with them outside of class.Kellie Borges

In the process of getting my undergraduate degree and this school has easy parking, teachers that are accessible, friendly people on campus, an area for commuters to rest/lounge, and fun community events. It provides a slower paced experience, positive atmosphere, and strengthens your religious beliefs as well as challenging them. I was impressed by how much I learned in non religious aspects as my field is psychology and I feel confident graduating here knowing I got the best college experience.Sar Nez

I came to this school and it is constantly changing. Especially with the pandemic slowly bringing things back. They are remodeling plenty and the campus is beautiful and very spread out. You can enjoy the little critters and plenty of flowers and trees to stare at. This school has plenty of history and beautiful views. Wether you came to this school or want to come to this school, it is definitely in a great centralized location with plenty of amenities both on and off campus. Bulldog born, Bulldog bread 🐾Felipe

I had an excellent experience as an undergraduate at Fresno State. I was an agriculture-based major, and had several invaluable opportunities for hands-on experience provided for me during my time at the university. Like most things, I could go through and nitpick every issue I had, but my overall reflection on the university is positive, so I'll abstain. The short of it is: if Fresno State has your desired major, it is a school well worth considering.Collin Parker

It was very nice. But I think the parking lot should be bigger. But we all had a great time we got chance to see my nephew don't play that bad I had an accident after you again or I'm someone hit my car from behind but other than that it was a great time don't have heads just everything is coolFrances

I currently attend this school and I’ve had nothing but positive things happen to me. I have one teacher (Shout out to Mr. Tostado aka Mr. T) who has been incredible and I know have him for the 3rd semester in a row. I have two more semesters before I graduate and I’m so excited to be the first one in my family to graduate college. So I think a lot of the reviews are just from disgruntled students who didn’t have a good experience. Everyone’s experiences are different. I love this school and couldn’t imagine going somewhere different.Chelsey Hayes

Out of all the community colleges that I've been too. Don't waste your time here. You're better going to Reedley or Fresno city. The front desk staff is very rude whether they're directing your call or answering your questions. Admissions and Records staff give yes and no answers when it comes to questions. They don't take the time to explain to students the reasoning behind anticancer forms. You're better off driving farther to actually be treated like a human being than going to this community college because it is closer.Amy Keovilai

I completed my associate's degree here, with other previous classes at Fresno City. I had a wonderful experience at Clovis. The lowest level of education from instructors was masters degree, the rest were either PHD or MD. All professors were great and willing to do whatever it takes to get you to be successful in their classes. But, this is college so they will not just hand you the answers and pass you, you must do the work.tim lane

Very unprofessional people working here. They don’t know how to communicate and have a lack of costumer service skills. The African American male who helped me at the front desk of the HR hiring even today at the School district was not focused. Was helping me with no confidence of what he was doing and didn’t speak up well. I could hardly understand him. I believe in those jobs you need to be very confident and speak clearly to the public as you are helping them out. I didn’t get this from him. Also the lady who was doing the finger prints was pressing so hard on my finger that she was hurting me. I told to sanitize the machine where I was putting my fingers because she didn’t. And the machine was not accepting my finger prints because the machine was dirty I had sanitized my hands already. She was hurting my finger cause she was so lazy to sanitize the machine. That is unbelievable and unacceptable. You guys should check on that. I had a horrible experience with these two people.Van Gonzalez

I enrolled and passed the CNA program. Mrs. Senatin LVN, Mrs. Gulshan RN and Mrs. Newell NP are absolutely the best! You will have the best and professional training. Their hearts belong to healthcare and they pass it along to you. Their compassion for people will be passed on to you. Not no half fast, it's fine will be provided. The way healthcare should be is the way it will be taught to you. I definitely recommend Fresno Adult School. Friendly environment and engaging with students. Thank you Fresno Adult school staff you guys are ALL truly amazing!Monica Flores

Fresno Adult School is a great establishment that really helps the community and those adults and need that want to further their education or catch up. Did Administration is pretty slow but their prices are fair and reasonable. They have a great facility but honestly there is nothing weird smell to it, like an old smell that doesn't go away. They always have certificates that vary from 8 weeks to 10 weeks or even a year but it just depends what you want to go for. Give them a call and get your information for an orientation.Felipe

I took a class here for the first time and really enjoyed myself I took a quilting class and made a lot of new friends that love to do what I do and that’s quilting the teacher was very knowledgeable and made me feel right in. With being disabled and wheelchair bound Shannon made everything comfortable for me from lowering the ironing board to giving me a certain place to setup that was closer to items I would be using . I learned a lot more too. Everyone in the class was fun to be with. Thank you Shannon. Kudos to the young man Mark the custodian that helped me from getting my wheelchair out of the car to helping me with my sewing machine to class and again being there st the time class ended to help me again. 💯 Kudos to him. I hope to take more class in the future but with me living in Hanford it is costly. So I might take a break but will return.Patricia Martinez

Clovis Rec has a great baseball program my son loves! We have meet many new friends and other mommy's that have the same interests as us!Tanya

Came to take scheduled G.E.D. test, internet was down 😑😑. Ruined my plans. Now I have to wait another week. Hopefully it works by then.Mike H

So… after all the hassle and paper work, as well as my start date being pushed back more then a few times. I was finally enrolled and thought I was good to go. Completed my first class and thought I was set to go for my second class. Nope…. i was dropped because not all paper work was complete on their end, which I kept calling asking and making sure things were getting done and ready. Anyways make a long story short I am not enrolling and they are wanting me to pay for Gen 101, or I am being sent to collections. They didn't have all my paper work done for financial aid let me enroll figured out their mistake and now they want me to pay over $1200 for a class that supposely taught you to cite and research…. one of their financial representatives even threaten me with collections. REALLY! WOW! please try else where to further you education. Good luck!!Susana Gonsalez

The University of Phoenix was a blessing, it was truly the only way I could graduate. As a working parent the schedule of only going to class once a week was easy. As well focusing on one class at a time made it so I didn’t have to track multiple classes and projects I could get one class done and then focus on another.Manuel Yamas

I GET ONE "D" AND IT DROPS MY GRADE BELOW A 2.0. THIS SCHOOL IS A TOTAL RIP OFF!! IF YOU'RE PLANNING ON ATTENDING COLLEGE TRY FRESNO STATE UNIVERSITY OR FRESNO CITY COLLEGE. To my fellow Veterans if you think this is a good school and are planning on enrolling don't.Michael Davis

Very very good building good professors, super clean building, the dental clinic is very very professional, all the students are hard-working and very focused, they give their patients full attention and are super nice. Top down management is awesome. 100/100. Fresno City College Health Science Building also has nursing and Radiology School and they are very highly ranked and students get jobs right away after graduation. The Dental Hygiene clinic program is also considered among the best in the nation. Check it out your self.boss Bhai

Should not hire professors who expect you to turn in Ivy League quality work. While they sit behind a computer screen not teaching you. Professor Cheryl Porter is not on Rate My Professor. Avoid taking her class if you can. She is very negative and unreasonable. The other professors are kind, reasonable and helpful. If she wants superior work, she should teach at that level on campus.L S
