I'll tell you the truth, from a student whose is quitting. Oranges? I just finished that class and we had to do each other...30 sticks. They don't use oranges. You have people who don't know what they are doing sticking you, hurting you. Staff are incompetent. They read to you the lecture notes you downloaded and printed up...(like we can't read) that is mostly what a class consist of. Teachers do not go out of their way to teach you...you teach yourself. Classes are too fast to really get it all down. (My grades are very good, so I am not having sour grapes, just in case you wondered) Some teachers yell at students, call them stupid. Yet the fees are extremely high. No one cares if you pass or not,..just your money is important.$40,000 for a 18 month degree. The school is too tiny, classes overcrowded and the rooms are always freezing...winter and summer. Online classes are a joke as are some on campus classes. 4 weeks for each class. Average 16 hours for each course. The books are a laugh too. Some are more like a 6th grader would get, not a college student. Mostly the students are nice. A high drop out rate though. I am switching schools in December. I can't go to a school that is one of the worse. When I signed up..I asked questions and was told stuff that was wrong. If I had known I wouldn't have signed.

I went to discuss the possibility of enrolling in this school, and the head of the Denver West campus was such a jerk that I would never even consider it. He implied that I had used my child as an excuse to not further my education sooner in life, literally stating that "some people use being a single parent as a reason to further their education while others use it as an excuse to put it off." I was not about to sit still for such abuse. I don't know how the courses are--didn't have a chance to find out. But if this is the way people are treated before even being admitted, I surely would not recommend it.

The courses are formed in a great team working manner, much more similar to actual working conditions than traditional class room settings. They have very up to date buildings and equipment. The instructors really go the extra mile to help make sure each student truly understands the material being presented. Specifically the lab instructor made sure everyone had ample practice with injections. We used oranges and saline! Many times instructors stayed after class to answer questions and direct students where to find more specific information. Their office staff was always very willing to help with everything from advice on specific courses to take to scheduling around the rest of a students life. (i have 2 children and worked part time). They also helped me with all of my financial aid applications and explained the difference between grants and loans. They were so patient with me and made sure I knew exactly what was going on. They also help me make sure I knew how, when and where to get my state certificates.
