Cna programs

Published

Can anyone on here provide feedback for any of the following cna programs? I have already checked them out on the BON website and their pass rates as well, just looking for some first hand experiences if possible! Looks like pretty much all of the community colleges (the ones nearby me anyways) are doing away with cna and LPN programs after this semester. Anyways, looking at these places:

Medstar academy in peoria

Arizona medical institute in mesa (would be a loooooong drive for me but they offer weekend only classes and have a great passing rate)

Providence institute in glendale

Accord healthcare institute in phoenix

Any thoughts are appreciated!

I went to AMTI in Mesa three years ago. Highly recommended!

I went to star canyon. They made sure everyone was ready to test. Small class size. They had evening, afternoon and all day options. Their website does not have much info, but if you stop in and talk to ----------------, he was very helpful. Last I checked they were the top or close to it for pass rates. I even called the BON to make sure they were legit because concerned their cost was less and website was sporifice. Took class about a year ago.

Thank you Mac, I overlooked them because of their website. It seemed to be outdated and had absolutely no info about their programs aside from the cost. I will look into them further and request more information from them!

Lol! That's one way to look at it! It just always gives me hesitation when I go to a business website and it's not put together very well...I know there's varying skills but it's fairly easy to put together a decent looking website with all the necessary info people visiting the website may need to know. So when I see one that looks like it hasn't been updated or just was thrown together it makes me wonder if it's legitimate or how well organized the entire business (in this case, their program) is. But after talking with Mac it seems that's not an issue :)

I went to AMTI in Mesa 4 years ago (when it was just changing names from RSAA). They did an excellent job of preparing us for our board exam. I have absolutely no complaints!
