unitek college

I had to have my grandma cosign on my loan but it's still being processed cause we just completed it. I'm supposed to start on may 4th but I'm honestly so nervous that I might wait until the next start date but I heard it's not until September so I'm not sure what to do. You heard of one starting this summer in sac? I thought there was only spring and fall but if they have a July one I would try for that one too. I'm so worried about not being able to keep up with an accelerated program =( lol I've had no medical type classes except medical science in highschool haha

unitek is a school you should be wary about just a forwarning.. it all depends on your teachers and their willingness to help your class.. one class was given up on completely and hardly helped at all.teachers spending more time calling friends than working with the students.. more than 50 PERCENT ended up quitting from that class.. i had a few good ones and bad ones (LVN program) one of which was later fired after for using student phones to call a boyfriend.. yes no kidding borrowing her students phones and leaving them unattended while doing medpass!!!!!

when they teach, there is a lot of counter information in the books given some saying possibly 2 or 4 for numbers. etc... when questioned they say follow the book or look it up yourself... if they dont cover the material you are "responsible for knowing everything" that is in your class sylabus. the kicker is a few of the "staff" actually have their names acknowledged in these books if you read closely...

finally when they do not appropriate enough time to cover a subject if you do bad the exuse always given by all staff is "this is a high paced program you knew what you were doing when you signed on." and "if your unhappy you can quit right away and not pay anymore" why we were given 4 days to cover history of who florence N. is and 1 hour to cover an integuentary system is questionable at best????? anyone see a problem here yet? this is especially held true by their administrators.. there is significant biasness from the teachers, your clinical sites are unknown to the last possible minute!!!! i mean that too.. at most clinical sites (once again dependent on teachers) you will end up doing more ADL work IE: showers, shaving, changing bed's and ambulating, than you will spend time doing actual LVN/RN work IE: med pass, wound care (if any patients even have any) or paperwork.. and you are required to do this ADL work which is fine for the first level but jeeze level 3 im still spending more time wiping someones ass than doing actual LVN work (paperwork, assessments etc) remember this is supposed to be a lvn program not a CNA

their maternity section is a joke- you go out and talk to someoen you know who has had a child... or yourself if you are a parent.. there is no actual rotation!!!
finally, if you make it through half of the program they tend to lose interest in helping you, you get hardly any lab time since "newer" students need it and the lab area is mostly for show, you hardly work with the dummies.... this is mostly a self teaching program at best... so be prepared for long nights ahead.. i got thru it via a great support system but looking back i would have stayed far away and went elsewhere...

good luck there just keep your nose clean and you will get thru this....
