Know anything about Gurnick Academy LVN program in San Mateo?

by BladderCancerSxMgt Platinum Member

Anyone have any experience/knowledge of the LVN program at Gurnick Academy in San Mateo, CA? I understand they're a new program ("approved" vs. "accredited" on the BVNPT site) but was hoping someone attending there might let me know what they think.

Thanks,

Dave

Disorganize administration. The form of communication to students is mostly verbal. A few admin staff of maybe 10 people like to surprise students with new school policies, but given that the school is fairly new, I think they are still learning the ropes. I'm currently attending this school taking LVN and have few months left. I'm very dissapointed with this school. I wish I had gone to a different one.

Your experience is also what you make of it. I would say there were times of frustration.. disorganization... there was a teacher who quit on us, but that was fixed, there wasnt a computer room, but now there is w a slough of laptops, we were placed in clinicals and I had an amazing experience which really helped me @ clinicals.. Ive learned A LOT! and I grad. next mth from there... Im somewhat disappointed w our grad. ceremony .. but.. you take the good and bad and really, I didnt want to wait for a straight RN for 4-5 yrs on a wait list!! good luck!
