Has anyone heard of Career Care Institute?

Published

Hi Everyone,

I am new to this board and was wondering if anyone has either been to, or heard of Career Care Institute in Ventura County Ca. I went there on Friday and I took the entrance exam. It all seemed to go a little fast, but I was really excited and wanted to get in. I did good on the exam only to find out the cost is $25,000. Yikes, I am supposed to go in and apply for finacial aid and hope for the best. What do you recommend I do??? I don't think I will get that much aid. Is this the typical cost of Private Vocational Schools? . If anyone has any advice I would much appreciate your input! Thanks! :clown:

If you don't mind me asking, how was this school?

I attend an LVN school in Lancaster, CA, University of Antelope Valley. I can say this, I've heard HORROR stories from students, instructors, and nurses working in clincal sites about Joseph's School of Nursing, AND CCI LVN students. I'm talking everything from students getting in fist fights with each other in the middle of the hospital, not knowing their stuff (to put it mildly), and very low percentage of students passing the NCLEX... I've even seen some things with my own eyes that just throws me for a loop. The tuition for LVN at UAV is just under $25,000, and they are in the final stages of getting their LVN-RN bridge program approved. In my opinion, schools like Joseph's and CCI (at least the one here in the AV) are cash cows trying to pump out students asap so the school can get their money. They really don't care if the students are knowledgeable and competent to perform nursing care.. Just my two cents...

Hi Everyone,

Im actually new to this but i have a similar question(s) and maybe one of you can help? I've been looking in for schools to become an LVN and seen that CCI offered the program that I'm interested in, the only thing is this is the only school I've looked into and i kinda have my mind set on. I know there are other schools out there that might be better, but I'm looking for one locally and that offers financial aid.

So here are my questions to you would anyone happen to know of any schools located in the Ventura County area? Also what steps should take? What do i need to look/lookout for? what questions do i ask? what is required before becoming a LVN.
