20 Best Bsn Programs In San Jose, CA (2022 Updated)

As a student of West Valley-Mission College District, I was able to attend this college for one class which was listed on the same transcript at Mission College. It is a nice campus and more of a suburban feel to it. The instructor was nice and helpful. If it was closer to my home, I would have gone to this campus for more classes.Bill Fong

They try to keep you here longer than necessary and do not give you the correct information to transfer. The science teachers are often terrible and actively try to fail students. It has become so bad that students are trying to get them fired. I have yet to meet someone who has met a counselor and not been given misinformation.Thea Queen

Went to watch/ help coach the Lady Vikings Alumni Softball game, & the new softball stadium is Awesome. It has all the Amenities that would make any other college jealous. It's Fantastic, & if you get a chance to catch a game, I hope you'll be impressed as I was!Jake McKenzie

Dropped by here in order to go to Panda Express. Don't know why I'm reviewing a college I'm not even part of, and this review is during a pandemic too.. well, it's purely about the aesthetic and convenience of the facilities. De Anza has quite the sizeable college grounds , so sizeable that it feels like an abandoned residential area with how empty practically everything is. It's complete with artistic facilities for music, visual arts, science buildings, sports facilities and the like. While I didn't enter, the library and the nearby park (called the sunken gardens by the college) was quite the beautiful location. The outdoor seating areas where the students would take a break and wait for classes on are widespread, shaded and very calming to be on. Not to mention the very convenient bus routes available . It's no wonder the college ended up being quite popular, it's geographically excellent and quite picturesque.Ace Hughj

De Anza College is great but not the book store. Beware of book store return policy. Make sure the books or items is in original condition or their will not refund. No sympathy at all. I bought online access book a week before class starts. My math intructor switch book. And to make matter worse I accidentally bent the access book card because it was in my backpack with one line crease and they denied the return after i picked it up on 1st day of class. Cost me $120 for a simple honest mistake. Ask for store credit or even exchange for the current hard copy of the free math book and they not willing to do anything. I'll go buy from amazon or used book somewhere else. Never again support this book store.Dru Down

Community colleges are a treasure trove of gems among them is access to the on-campus gym. De Anza College’s on-campus gym provides patrons with a quiet and well rounded experience for an affordable price. From experience, these types of gyms allow me to get my workout done in a welcoming environment, which I feel can’t be said of many gyms. However, it’s sad that the school is closing it due to budgetary reasons on June 28, 2019.Daniel Negrete

The administration is not interested in offering equal access to education for parents who are looking to get one. The college is not interested in reestablishing the on-campus child care center. Also the administration knew the science building chemistry hoods were not functioning properly for years and never let students know. The professors are incredible but if you are a mother good luck because the college doesn't care that in order to access education, women with children (those who require an education for a chance to improve their children's future!) need some equitable student services. Don't take my word for it scroll through the reviews. Most reviewers are male even though majority of students who attend the college are women. Read into it what you will but the facts remain that the college has a child care center on campus but refuse to renovate it even though property taxpayers agreed to pay for it (measure g 2004).Melissa Martinez

The college incorrectly listed me as a non-California resident. When I attempted to fix this, I found that I could not get in touch with ANYONE from the business offices. Eventually, they started having a debt collector call me because I wanted to sort out the residency issue so that I would not be charged nearly $1000 for my classes. This has been going on for months now, I attempt to call their offices almost every week and no one answers me. I'm beginning to suspect that they are just trying to force me to pay the non-resident fee so that they can get some extra cash. All in all, I have had a horrible experience with the administrative services, and if I could get on the line with anyone, I would have been happy to have paid the appropriate tuition months ago.Laura Israel

Overall, the colleges is good. However, other colleges are doing much better. $ stars for the efforts in trying to become better. Recently they have started to work on the new Gymnasium building. Teachers and professors are good but they are very diverse. The teaching style of all the teachers differ and they might not be ok with everyone. So choose your class wisely. Overall the crowd is good but sometimes you might find some not so friendly people. I am not sure about the safety. However, most of the colleges in the bay area sucks with their security provisions.Ashutosh Dube

Most professors are very kind. The school as reopened for in-person learning. The food and library are open. Staff, students, and visitors will need to fill out a health screen to be on campus. (I'd say take a screenshot to easily show the green check) The construction in the middle of campus is done and the beautiful campus is opened up. There's now some construction towards the back where the "temporary" classrooms where. Stay safe, have fun, and let's go mission!Loni Pacheco

I like the school, and the professors are great. All of the professors I have taken have been kind. However, the staff- Araceli the manager from the mission college bookstore is extremely rude. She lacks customer service skills. She will yell at you in front of the entire store to the point where everyone is staring. I have had two negative encounters with her, and I am a very polite person. I have kept my calm even after being completely humiliated by her.Samantha Cruz

Mission College has one of the most supportive and enthusiastic professors. I enjoy coming in to all of my classes because they engage me into their lesson plans. Not only that but they make sure that all of their students are understanding the assignments and offer alternative support systems for them to succeed in the classroom. Overall, Mission College is doing an incredible job in getting students prepared towards their future goals.Diego Jimenez

I started the program with Ms Perez as my lab instructor and ended with Ms Patrice. I'm older, laid off from a 25yr career and didn't know what to do with my life let alone where to start. Ms Perez and Ms Patrice made learning so easy, fun and amongst all, they made it interesting and made me feel excited to keep attending. The process at Unitek is easy to complete due to the communication level the staff has with their students. My career advisor, Ms Lisa is great! Ms Lisa Literally held my hand through the exiting process, kept in touch throughout my externship, made sure I was staying sane throughout the process of going to extern, working nights and taking care of my family. Walked me through my application process for a job, held my hand through the interview process, kept in touch throughout the whole process until I got an offer letter!!!! My experience with everyone at Unitek was great, but my experience with Ms Lisa is one that needs to be recognized!!!!Chris Fusi

I had a wonderful experience with Ms. Patrice my laboratory instructor and Ms. Perez. Both have mentored me & helped me become the MA I am today. Ms. Lisa Haynes in Career Services is a hard worker & goes to bat for her students. I received a job offer during my externship, that was too good to pass up as a new grad, thanks to her guidance. I recommend taking your MA in the day class as the PM class lacks structure & professionalism with one particular teacher…that is the only reason I left off a star. The school itself has a fully functioning lab for clinical experience, is safe, clean, holds dinners or gives treats for student morale and tuition is less than other schools in the Bay Area.Jennifer Wills

Instructors are professional with vast and extensive work experiences. They are genuinely caring and helpful for the sucess of the student and learning environment. Each department provided substantial support that made going through the program easier. Courtney and Rachel with Career Services gave us the confidence and tools to help make the transition from student life into the working world smooth.Gigi Tamayo

I am a working registered dental hygienist who graduated from Carrington College back when they were at their previous location relatively close by on San Ignacio. I can't speak for the program now since alot has probably changed in terms of administration, but our program director Sherry Heaney, department of hygiene staff, and supervising doctors were all great and provided us with excellent, rigorous education. We had a very thorough clinical and classroom education there at Carrington which allowed my graduating class to pretty much all go through the program and pass our National and regional boards for hygiene. The cost for the programs I will admit is a bit pricey as it is a private tech school, but they do have loan options. I just recently paid off my student loans after working part time for 3-4 years as a dental hygienist. Also keep in mind that the program was only about 1.5 years full-time vs the 2 years you would expect to go through from one of the renown lottery local community college programs at foothill, Diablo, etc. By all means if you are lucky enough to get into those programs go there as you will save a ton of money, but education-wise my education was on par with those schools. After we graduated I received many phone calls checking up on me to ask if I had been employed yet, so they do seem to check up on how we were doing after going through the program. If you are coming into this clinic as a patient, understand that this isn't a dental practice. Carrington makes nothing from having you come in for their essentially free treatment. They don't "prey" on people without dental insurance because Carrington receives no benefit from you coming into the department for treatment, and rather it is more of a service to you and the local community. That being said, you will be treated by STUDENTS and their only gain from you will be clinical experience. Treatment planning and the amount of time you spend in the clinic will also be ALOT longer than it would be if you were to go to a dental office. I'm talking about a few days of you coming in for appointments vs an hour at a dental office. To Nichole's review, since I can't directly respond to your review: I am unaware of how your periodontal health was before treatment but most likely you had gum disease. If you are having gum recession after treatment that you didn't expect, then I am afraid maybe you didn't have enough patient education. That is something that just happens if you have gum disease and receive treatment for it. Your gums recede because they are swollen initially and you already have bone loss around your teeth. Once they firm up they will naturally recede to match your bone levels. As a practitioner it triggers me when the patient blames the doctor or staff for the patient's own negligence even though as practitioners we have the heart to basically do charity work for them. It is sad that you feel entitled to free treatment and then blame your healthcare provider. Just my two cents here.Unsullied Roarrior

Hi my name is Jessylynn I am from Philippines, migrated here USA 2009, I know in myself that my passion in Dentistry will stop but by year 2016 I met former student of Carrington College, she’s working a Dental Hygienists now. Thanks to her because she encourage me to go to go back to school and try to inquire. The staffs in Carrington College are friendly even the janitor and security guard and front desk. I remember the first day doing my inquiring in this school, I met Troy he was my enrollment advisor! He’s so nice, funny and cool! I like him! I like how he help me and my friend to get this in the program. He extends his arm to help you for what you need to get in the program and take note I don’t have money, nor credit score or anything financial. It’s true that the private school is so PRICEY! I can’t blame or complain about it because it’s private school and you’ll graduate in 1.5 years not including pre req. Troy explained everything about it, how you’ll pay and how much you’ll pay. Honestly, I didn’t know what I’m doing but with the help of Carrington College staff I would say I owe them from what I became now because they helping me to make my dream come true even you don’t have money for now, it’s like get your degree and pay later! I am now in Term 2 in Dental Hygienist Program! Carrington College of Dental Hygiene Program Department’s environment is peaceful. The faculty are very friendly. This the place where you can learn many things. I honestly can say, their way of teaching is not intimidating, they work harder just to make sure their student doing a good job especially in the clinic, your practice skills (oh, a lot of COMPETENCY, which is to test your skills, if you failed then they’ll teach you until you get it) and lecture. I love how they focus on your hand skills, your ergonomic (protecting your back, I don’t even know that!) BASIC is life! They teach you not only to learn how to treat patient but they care also for you to love the job so you’ll not injure your overall health! Mrs. Clark is the one who welcomed us in this Program, she’s so gentle when she talk and I love her teaching in Radiology subject and not only her you’ll love. All the DH department staff are friendly and funny that what’s make me go to school everyday and excited to LEARN. They’re all knowledgeable, professional, and they will not stop failing you until you get the PERFECT skills, they’re not judgmental they’re always asking “DO YOU HAVE QUESTION?”. One of our Instructor said “MISTAKE IS A OPPORTUNITY”. I realized being perfection is not what make you GREAT! I don’t wanna brag everything but their teaching reached my beyond expectation. I can’t wait to finish my Program and start to work!Jesselyn Berganio

This particular location has some very wicked women working in positions they’re obviously not qualified to work in. If you’re a woman of African descent, they work so hard to keep you down and out of the programs, if the salary will start at a healthy rate. Yet they’re pretty rude and condescending to EVERYONE! They try to intimidate the students for having questions. They’re very unsupportive and unprofessional. They will gang up on you, knit pick with you, hold unnecessary bully like meetings with you, etc. these women can’t handle the responsibility that their position Carrie’s . They’re old as Medusa and have the audacity to mock an older student. It’s a shame that after all that women have been through overtime , these women believe that it’s their job to try and hold another woman back. I had a heart issue due to a medication I had taken while I was a student there. I was admitted into the hospital, and still managed to attend my class the following day from my hospital bed. These women verbally attacked me in private the first day I returned to campus. I was still weak from being ill, which caused me not to be able to properly defend myself. Fortunately, I was able to record the second attack—all because I inquired about what the protocols would be in the event that students became ill with covid. They wanted to meet with me again privately, the meeting took approximately 1 hour, yet my question was never answered. Instead they brought up all kinds of other silly things, while gazing at me like I was an experiment. There’s a lot more I have to say about this campus and it’s Surgical Technology Director, Lab instructor, and the Director of Student Services. They behaved like pure monkey’s.Tara Newton-Bailey

This is a really great way to obtain AHA BLS/ACLS/PALS certification. I liked that I could complete the online didactic module online at my own pace. I also liked that the time allotted to complete the live session was 1 hour (not too long) where you are not pressured to pass on the first try. In fact, they are right when they say it will take 3-4 attempts to pass, so do not be discouraged. One thing I would recommend (if possible) is for the students to review the video demos at home, so we can anticipate how to perform on the mannequins on the day of the test. I got a little confused with the "switching roles" at first, but after reviewing the demos a few times, I understood why I wasn't passing. Otherwise, I'll be back!Amy Pham

Took the BLS course and it was very time efficient. I would recommend this to anyone who is computer savvy & has some prior experience with CPR courses in general. If you have a tough time with computers, using one is how you pass the skills test – another person who was taking it had to ask for my help, & I genuinely don’t think they would have passed had I not shown them how to use the computer system. If you are unfamiliar with CPR, they never really walk you through an actual scenario that is skills-based, so I would recommend taking an in person course instead. I was renewing my BLS provider course, and this format was perfect for my needs.Katherine Ghyzel

Simple instructions before taking the in person class. Instructions also posted on walls. There was also an attendant present to help if needed. It was clean, and well stocked with gloves of all sizes and sanitizing wipes as well as alcohol and paper towels. Computer monitors were on a swivel to be able to be viewed from any angle easily. There was a step stool provided and a removable pad just as the video stated, to help perform high quality CPR. It was a great experience. Thank you!Catherine Chiprez

I would highly recommend this excellent, professional, well skilled trainers and great training organization for any of your safety training needs. The class room environment was excellent with comfortable desk space for all students providing a great learning experience. I took an eight hour CPR/First Aid Class and I will not go to any other training sites for my two year renewals. Our trainer was excellent. She was highly trained, very qualified to teach this class and made learning enjoyable. The eight hours went by very fast. I walked away feeling confident that I would be very capable of using my learned skills due to excellent training she gave for (Pediatric and Adult) First Aid / CPR.Dorie Ockenden

I love the effectiveness and efficiency of registering for a course as well as the options that the organization provides to become certified. You can hybrid it by taking online and attend some in-class learning. Or you can completely take the course in class. The in-class course made learning interactive, detailed and supportive for you to pass the exam at the end of the course. The instructors are very knowledge, professional and friendly. State of the art materials/equipment. I will continue to use Safety Training Seminars for my certifications. Thank you and wishing you guys all the best!L.Marie Watkins

This is by far the best! Trainers are always very helpful and very knowledgeable! This year with the pandemic it was. A bit different. Their online BLS was great! Super simple and easy to follow up! Also you go in by yourself and complete the hands on with a baby doll, and upper torso of an adult connected to a computer system. You follow the instructions on the screen, and while you preform CPR you are guided. It’s almost like playing a hands on video game. Strongly recommend if you are a self learner, work better alone, or beginner to online courses.pedro andrade

I did not go to NBA but working with the admins of the school, I get to interact with students and they highly regard this school. I worked with Linda Reyes and Mr. A of NBA through the Filipino American Chamber of Commerce of Silicon Valley. They are highly regarded community leaders who advocates for the best interest of the city of San Jose, Santa Clara County and the Filipino American community. As much as they want the best for the community, they also want the best for their students. Linda has been active in various organizations to promote their newly graduates to the start of their careers. I would highly recommend their school if you would like to start a career in healthcare.Emmanuel Valencia (Manny)

NBA School is very lucky because it got truly amazing instructors. I took a phlebotomy class with Mr. Santiago who is a science professor. He deserves 10 out 5 stars for laying out all the material for you the most comprehensive way possible. He truly cares about his students and makes sure you are ready for the national exam. As long as you study your notes, read the textbook, and take some practice tests, you'll get your certificateElton John

I took the CNA course on Saturdays and Sundays with Nurse Builder Academy and it was probably the best decision I've made.they prepared us for the exam with practice exams and helping us with the skills every week. they kept the class interesting with their fun stories about the experience as a nurse. they are amazing instructor and I'm glad I got to learn from the best!Andrew Humtsoe

Back in March, I read around for CNA programs local to my area. A few of them declined/were hesitant to enroll me because of some scheduling issues (there were some days I absolutely could not make it to class), which would supposedly put me way behind in terms of course material. When I made the decision to visit Golden Heart for an informational meeting, I was so glad that they were COMPLETELY willing and happy to work around my schedule. I ended up taking and finishing their course, it has been a really fantastic decision. Here you will have two instructors, Mr. G and Ms. Savella, who are amazing teachers, provide excellent preparation for the state exam, and make the class really engaging and humorous at times–it undoubtedly makes the classroom a very relaxing and fun place to learn. The classroom is kept really well-cleaned, bright lit, and they provide working, new, and high-quality supplies for you to practice with. They recently purchased an additional brand-new bed and mannequin, so there's even more opportunity to practice the "practical skills." Mr. G and Ms. Savella also provide an ample supply of snacks, water, and coffee to help keep the students satiated and focused throughout the lecture day. With their valuable tips and willingness to help drill the practical skills/theory material, I was recently able to pass my state exam. Highly recommend this course!Tien H. Lam

I am extremely happy that I came across Golden Heart School of Nursing while searching for a CNA training program on a whim back in November of 2021. Mr. G was very thorough about what the program entailed and honestly answered every question that I had. Mr. G is a super understanding person and is very flexible with those who may have a busy schedule outside of class. He is very accommodating, but makes sure that the work ends up getting done at the end of the day. I also enjoyed how the theory and clinical skills were taught concurrently; I never got bored. Also, Mr. G is naturally an approachable person and is genuinely there to help his students should they have questions or need further instruction/help. I genuinely had such a great time in this program. Besides the material learned in the program, the environment was great, there was a ton of parking(for those concerned about parking), and people, including the instructors, always brought in a ton of snacks/food that was shared among all of the classes that are taught throughout the week. You will NOT regret choosing this program!!!Delena Padilla

I got CNA certified with Mr. G's AM class over the summer, and I highly recommend this program! Mr. G is a very knowledgeable instructor. He knows how to prepare you for the CNA exam from his years of experience. My classmates and I felt very capable during our exam. As far as I know, almost all students pass the exam with Mr. G's guidance. He is also very on top of scheduling CNA exams and overcoming any bumps in the road. When our exam couldn't be scheduled on a certain date due to lack of space, the testing center contacted him personally to work out a different day. Mr. G has lots of experience scheduling the exams, and I would trust him to make sure you secure a test date. Mr. G is also very accommodating of his students. He always offers students the flexibility to attend different classes, carpool with him to clinicals, or come in and practice after class. He really cares about his students and makes sure they feel supported in his class. If looking for a CNA program to sign up for, I would highly recommend Golden Heart!sela j

This school only cares about the money you pay them. I remember the director contacting me so many times in a week to pay my past due. I was still waiting for my VA benefits to kick in. Then I was told if I don’t pay by this date, I will be removed from the program. So I applied for a loan to pay off my past due. After that I was never harassed again. I expected a lot from this school. From great didactic instructors to clinical instructors. But that did not happened. I only had one good didactic instructor. My clinical instructor was lazy and always complaining. The leadership did not care about you. Just their well being as a school. Your grades don’t matter. Also they did not care if you are a military veteran. There were times that I had to clock in using my phone which is not allowed, but my clinical instructor was always late so I couldn’t clock in using a computer. I was removed from the MRI program because I was DISHONEST. Instead of helping you to improve, they just remove you from the program because they got what they needed from you. MONEY! No kind of remediation whatsoever. Just after your MONEY. You’re better off with Unitek where they care about their students emotionally, spiritually, and personally. Being a nurse is way better than being an MRI tech.👎Ervan Valdez

I applied to the Gurnick Academy ultrasound technology program ( San Mateo campus ), At first I was getting constant email reminders to complete documents before the deadline date . After I completed everything I had an panel interview set up , the interview went well overall but I was asked a certain question that I didn’t completely understand and when I hesitated ( and felt nervous ) the interviewer rudely responded with frustration at my delayed response . At the end of the interview they informed me that I would receive a response within 3 weeks. Within a few days I received an email demanding that I complete a financial aid form within that day “ just in case” I get into the program even though I hadn’t received an acceptance letter. Well.. 3 weeks passed and I sent a follow up email kindly thanking everyone that attended the interview for there time and consideration . I didn’t get a single reply back from that email , a month after the interview day they emailed me informing that I didn’t get in and should try applying next year . The negative reviews I read after the fact are correct , it seemed like they were only after money .Amani Abdaw

I have had the pleasure of working with Gurnick and their students for over 4 years and can say it has been a wonderful experience. The MRI students sent to my facility for clinical training are professional, hard-working and team players. All my Technologists are Gurnick grads! A big thank you to Elena Danilova for building such a great relationship with me and my facility.Kimberly MacDonald

Not a question but just a desperate comment. This is so depressing I tried to contact the program director as recommended by the business manager here. She never reached out to me and all I was told is that my money was not going to be refunded because I decided to not continue with the program. Well after ALL of course I don't want to continue with the program all this lies being told to me before you guys took my money. You must know that $1500 is a lot for anyone in my situation that's why I begged to get it back since I borrowed it now I have to pay it back and on top of that my mother is very sick. Not that you care because is not your mother but there is things I could use this money for and I am just so desperate because I can't borrow more money since I can't pay this $1500 back. Can someone please help me. Dr Craig was very rude since the beginning and asking about empathy and morals but ma'am where is your empathy now??? You criticize me for not being able to respond to your question about the meaning of it but do you really know it???? My mother is dying 😢 and all I am asking for is for MY BORROWED MONEY BACK so I can help with something. I am miserable right now. I just need help to get this money that I NEVER USED back please.Other User

I personally had a good experience at Unitek, the instructors Ms. Sarah, Ms. Suttle and Mr. John always had good feedback and I felt that they cared about us getting the subject/task we had to learn. I was pleased with the practice I got to do, though we could have done more practice of urinalysis, snellen chart, hearing tests and others I can not quite remember at this moment. Amanda Garff with career services was awesome! She was always there when I needed any help with a question or with my resume. She goes above and beyond for students. One thing I did not like, was the fact that before we went onto externship, there was not much communication from the extern coordinators to students going out, we did not know our assigned site, or our schedules or the person whom we had to report to until 2 days before our start date! I know myself and other students were kind of upset that we really did not know our schedules so that we could coordinate child care for the ones who have children.I S T

I had an amazing experience at Unitek. Very helpful teachers and all staff members. Each and every one are dedicated to make sure you are prepared for anything needed for school and your career they are helping you build. Debbie Cacy helped me put together a stellar resume, helped me find, prepare and get an interview for my externship site. They also helped me stay on top of everything even when life was a little bit crazy, they reminded me what documents I needed to turn in and when. The communication is amazing. I have never experienced so many people in my corner helping me succeed in every way they possibly can. I would recommend Unitek to any one interested in a career in the medical field. Even after graduation they are helping me to find a job in my field.Cayla Custodio

I took this workshop in January, 2008 before going to my CPNE weekend test in February, 2008. Tina was very kind, knowledgeable and realistic about our endeavor as a class. She had workstations set up for us to practice after she did thorough reviews. She gave us extra time to repeat areas of weakness. She freely answered questions. She allowed us to come extra during off time from classes to continue practicing. She clearly had our best interest at heart. I flew from Tennessee to California for this class and still believe it was well worth the cost, travel and my time to take this workshop. Take the workshop seriously, listen to Tina‘s guidance and you will succeed also first time in passing your CPNE as I did. Do be aware, it was very clear to me that the people giving the CPNE did NOT want you to pass. It cost me $2500 to take the test. If I failed, I had to wait six months, if I am not mistaken, before I would be allowed to pay another $2500 to try again. The hovering over you, the pressure you already feel related to completing your degree exacerbated are real. You must remain focused. You must be determined to pass after you prepare as best you possibly can. In one of the CPNE work stations, my hand shook so badly that I dropped a syringe. I automatically failed that station. Thankfully, I was able to repeat it the following morning, passing it. So don’t give up. Do review plans of care. You have to provide these as part of your test. You are being timed and they are watching that as well. But don’t be afraid. You can do it with the good Lord’s help. Having passed my CPNE, I proceeded to take my RN boards in March 2008 and easily passed it. I have worked for 14 years since as a registered nurse, with my emphasis being in hospice care. I have also worked in hospital settings and the home healthcare field in managerial roles. . And now as I am preparing to retire in the next few years I am loving on dementia care residents in an assisted living facility in my hometown. My previous 17 years as a registered respiratory therapist have been invaluable yet I have never regretted pursuing my nursing degree. And I have never regretted going to Tina‘s workshop. Thank you Tina for providing this avenue allowing me to use my God given abilities to help and love on others in such a special field. Sonya L. Ownbey, RN RRT TennesseeSonya Ownbey

Having browsed through and having utilized many other review courses on the internet, a friend finally introduced me to Ms.Tina for the PMHNP exam prep and she made all the difference. She is very dedicated to helping her student succeed. Thank you Tina for your awesomeness, I recommend everyone who is preparing for this exam to utilize the content she has prepared such as the study notes and guide, review Exams and memory bullets. I was blown away during the exam to reflect back on how right on point her content is. Thank you so much Ms.Tina for this review course and thank you for sharing all your knowledge and encouragement that tremendously helped with passing this exam! I did exactly what you advised me to do.  🙏🏼 My advise to new PMHNP graduates, invest your time on Tina's study review and content, and take the exam when you feel well prepared. Wishing everyone Success!wisdom ubom

I am so thankful for Dr. Johl. I can confidently say that she is absolutely the only reason I passed my boards and I could not be more thankful for her. The exam questions she has prepared are completely on point and are the only questions that I feel are equivalent to the ANCC board questions. The time she has spent to make sure her students are successful is unbelievable. I am so grateful for her practice exams and all the time that she spent with me. I felt very confident walking in to my boards and I was able to pass on my first try! I swear by Dr. Johl! I would recommend her and her program a thousand times over! Thank you for everything!nicole wersonick

I started the CNA training here and after few weeks due to the schedule of the nurse that does the training, the class schedule was changed. I couldn't not continue and me and few others wanted a refund. Edward agreed to give us refunds but told us to wait because he didn't have the fund at the moment since it is not our fault. I gave him time and I followed up few times going to his office as well as calling him but I never received my refund. Not only did this experience wasted my time but I lost a lot of money and could not do another program that lined up with my schedule.Tigist Teklé

This service is really great fast you can go in and get your CNA in a month and pass exam with flying colors. Great place to renew your CNA and HHSa also there is a new LVN program. I also never had have a money issue with EdwardBrett Thompson

Honest review about this place? It's amazing. This community College is wonderful. My fat a$$ lost 60 lbs going here while also running Montgomery Hill and eating well of course. This school has some of the best teachers I have ever met and with their inspirational classes onto the next one!!!! Come here, you won't regret it. They have amazing programs, help with mental health and over all health. People happy and willing to help you with financial aid without belittling you and I met some of the best people here. I miss it! Oh and and just remodeled, renovated and build some buildings and it looks beautiful af! Oh wait… also the water fountain is beautiful with gorgeous views all over.B Love

It is a regional community college serving East-Side San Jose. It was built in the 1970's. Originally with two buildings functioning as classrooms and labs plus separate admin building, library. In the 2000's the college has been expanding with additional classroom / lab buildings, a new gym. Its sister campus is San Jose City College in the central area of San Jose near Bascom and 280. A distinctive character of EVC is the pond in front of campus – home of several resident ducks, swans, as well as its adjacent Montgomery Hill.qlv assoc

Beautiful school. Parking is good when your lucky and early. Classes are great. Landscape is beautiful. Buses run there. Clean beautiful campus. Food is good there. Cooks are nice. Good food options from pho, spring rolls, sandwiches, burgers, soups, pizza, bread, fresh salad bar, coffees, Vietnamese coffee, sweets, and several drinks. Library is spacious and there’s always room to sit at. But good shoes on if your going to walk around because there are som slopes and it’s spaced outDenise Marie

I have been a resident in the past. 5 years ago I lived here for three months, now I'm back for a little while. I would rather NOT be anyplace other than Empress Care. I have many Ethiopian friends here, the Nurses and CNA's. Very special. Though I'm not Ethiopian, being of Tatar descent from Russia, born in Ankara, Turkey. I love my Ethiopian brothers and sisters since I grew up in Addis Abeba. I highly recommend this Skilled Nursing Facility, for it's excellence and all the staff's outstanding, professional care for the residents.Willy Rankins-Muhtesip

Top notch! Rated 5 by the Nursing Home/Skilled Nursing Facility Rating Agencies. I loved the excellent care and services. No complaints whatsoever.Vildan Muhtesip

The service is really slow!!! When you need something, you have to aske so many times from so many people that finally someone will listen!!!Homer Maiel

I graduated from San Jose State University in 2012 with a Degree in Art History and Visual Culture. Here is my overall take away from my time spent there. The Good: If you live in the area already, SJSU is pretty convenient. I was lucky enough to live near light trail so the included transit pass was great. Tuition at any university these days is going to be eye watering at best, but taking that into consideration the cost is not as bad as some other CSUs. Education is largely what you make of it, but for the most part the quality of the curriculum and the professors who work at SJSU are pretty high. I can think of only a few classes that were really not up to par out of everything I took there. Facilities in general are pretty decent. Its a crowded school without question but I never felt overwhelmed by it. Now the bad: The administration is painful at times. This become apparent on day 1 when I was placed in the wrong orientation group and forced to sit through seminars on classes I would never take. It continued all the way through the last day when the administration somehow lost track of a PE class I took and tried to tell me I couldn't graduate despite the fact that it was on their own transcript. Overall take away its a decent education if you put the effort in.Jeff Streit

Really great school, but it is mostly what you make of it. As a transfer student, I find that the school is interested in helping you succeed and offers a lot of opportunities for you to get involved, get help, and get through. Once you are in your program (can only vouch for Teachers Prep), the teachers are so good and dedicated to helping you move through the class and are pretty centered around helping you learn what you need to for your career. Only trouble I have had with the school was hang-ups at admissions, but after talking to so many different administrative branches and programs at this point (transfer admissions/financial aid/different departments regarding courses and waivers/counseling dept) I really appreciate how easy they are to get ahold of and how willing and effective they are to help you through your issue. Honestly, commuting sucks, but it is really worth it for the quality of education SJSU offers. Plus, the campus is rather pretty with lots of nooks and crannies around campus, is conveniently located, and is heavily connected to its community and the cities around it.Katie Siddiqui

The schooling is great I am an engineering student and have had some success at SJSU! Professors and some staff are very nice to work with. HOWEVER, that is where it ends. The bureaucratic offices are horrible. Such as Housing at SJSU. Housing sucks! They refuse to aid the student. All complaints are either dealt with and solved in about a month or not at all. The WiFi that I pay for is garbage and hardly works ever, and when it does it’s only at 3am. The food is also not great. I over hear that all the food is local which is completely not true it’s from Sysco and another large food transport. Overall it is definitely not worth the money to live on campus because it SUCKS! I can only speak for CVC and it truly sucks. I’ve had a horrible experience here.Jack Hyland

A so-call University without any facilities. They do not provide any service to student, and still increase the tuition fee every year. The tutors are not profession at all. They may have high qualification but not teaching anything except giving homework.darren C2

It's a good school. I am taking Forensic Science PM class in the 700s building (Room 706). I have Mr. E, and he is awesome. He's a really nice teacher. I am going to continue this class next semester. We have quizzes every Friday, sometimes on Mondays, but mostly every Fridays. We have PT (Physical Training) every Friday, and sometimes not. He always let us work independently in our groups, while he sits in his office and listens to the radio on his computer. The hub is open, but he doesn't want us to go there. I don't know why. Whenever his radio comes on to tell the teachers to send their students, if they want to the hub to get a snack, he would turn it down so we couldn't hear and get distracted. Sometimes earlier in the year, student from Dental class would come to our class and sell chocolate bars for a $1 each. But now, no more. Today, two students from Pharmacy class came to our class to tell us that if we donate blood, we will get a free ice cream. I didn't sign up because I don't think I would meet the requirements. I'm 5'1 almost 5'2 and I weigh 116 lbs, but they want a girl with the height of 5'1 or 5'2 to be 133 lbs. But the bathroom in the 700s building is a bit spooky and creepy. I heard that somebody died in the big stall, in the girls bathroom in the 700s building a few years ago. I didn't know until last Friday. I was changing into my gym clothes for PT, and then after PT, I changed into my normal clothes in the big stall. Well, everything seems normal in there when I was changing. When my group was working on our crime scene case, my team mate told us that the big stall in the girl's bathroom is haunted because some girl died in there. That explains why the door of the big stall is always closed, and make people think that someone is in there, and the lights are off somtimes in the stalls. But when you look under nobody is in there. Today, one of my team mates went to the bathroom, and she said that it was creepy in there. Also, one of my other team mate went to the bathroom earlier this year, and she ran back to the classroom because the lights were off in there. So she got scared. She asked one of our team mate to go to the bathroom with her. Now I'm scared to go in there myself. Besides the spooky side of the bathroom, it's clean, it has a nice sink, but the the left and middle faucets doesn't work well like the right faucet. It has no mirror in there though. In my opinion, if there's a mirror in that bathroom, then you might see the ghost. Then, after we finished talking about the spooky bathroom, we started talking about the haunted house at Hellyer in San Jose, or it's also known as the Hell House. That's all I have to say. Sorry to scare anyone reading this, but it's true.Grace Truong

The vice principal I believe his name is Ted Altenberg, is VERY RUDE! I was a student there recently & while I was in class doing my work, he came in & called my name out & I polity greeted him, " hi " & he rudely told me to take my baseball hat off or leave his school. In his tone of voice & his demandment, I got offended. I would have took it off nicely if he respectfully & polity asked me to remove my hat. But NO! He had to come across like that towards me. That made me want to leave the school immediately & file a complaint because I do believe a vice principal represents the school and by it being the first time I met him, I thought he was just rude. I'm not very happy.Jackie Huynh

I took 5 different classes there back in 1998/99. All relating to electrical. I've since gone to big name colleges, community college, and other occupational centers. I really feel like I got the most out of my instruction at CCOC. At the time I went there classes were dirt cheap, something like $50 a class. The Instructors were excellent, very knowledgeable and worked in industries that were related to what they were teaching. It was what I needed at the time since I was broke, had no real career or direction. Now I'm a master electrician and running my own company. Glenn, Kansas City.Glenn Cindy Bowers
