For the education and training I received, this program is NOT worth $1,800. There are so many other programs under $1k that are so much better quality. Our cohort had probably about 5/6 different instructors along our course time. During a vital time for our training and wrapping up our clinical experience, our instructor one day did not show up, and no communication was made between instructor and administrators; our cohort had wasted time and money driving to our clinical site to be stood up, with no explanation, and it happened 2 more times after this. Our instructor never returned and we were never given a reason. We missed a few days of instruction and we were told to make up by submitting skills videos to Anne, which she never even reviewed. Beatrice, or whoever is the head of the program takes way too long respond to emails/ messages, and its once the issue is past/ no longer urgent she happens to reply. Onto classroom, we had to switch from the Santa Fe site to this Long Beach site. The Santa Fe location was not golden, but it was much better than the Long Beach one. For $1,800 we had to practice on BROKEN mannequins, some missing limbs, hardly any supplies, and had an awful instructor after this, Mr. Carlton. He was extremely rude, always cutting students off and never allowing room for error. Whenever he was corrected on WRONG techniques, he would not accept corrections or comments. On top of this, for $1,800, Mr. Carlton had to take on our class on top of another one he was teaching. He would periodically jump between us in person and a theory class on the computer. Eventually his students were scheduled to come in to the training site as the same time as us, and the tiny suite in the business park was NOT big enough for both of our classes. 2 groups practicing on broken mannequins and sharing sparse supplies. I FOUND IT QUITE HARD TO BELIEVE A TUITION OF $1,800 WAS NOT ADEQUATE TO PROVIDE PROPER STAFFING AND SUPPLIES. The facility we did our clinical training at was least favorable. Students among me were genuinely concerned for patients well being and patient rights & safety. Nurses were mean, withholding of items from patients, and staff CNAs seemed to view us as a burden and offered not much support. On top of this, LASA chose a facility that allows smoking, which was quite irritating. For state testing, I find it in my opinion that this program is so well known and is able to charge so much is because they were backed by the Red Cross. The test was through the Red Cross and nothing else. The exact EVENING before our state exam, Beatrice or whomever is in charge of records and paperwork contacted each student because they FORGOT to give us all our checklist papers that stated we were clear to take the state exam. As I stated it was in the evening, so not everyone was able to make it. Some people had to pick it up for others, and it was a hassle because the lady in charge of paperwork had to ask for confirmation (calling on the phone) someone else could pick up their paperwork because it had info like our SSN. In the beginning of the program, students are fingerprinted for background checks and security. After I had passed my state exam, it took 4 months and many calls to CDPH to expedite my case, only to finally receive a letter in the mail after countless hours of working as an Nurse Aid without my certificate, stating that the only reason my application was not processed is because the person that LASA had hired to do my fingerprints did not do them CORRECTLY.Many things were flawed in this program and I seriously hope people can reconsider or look at programs at adult schools before deciding on this one. Im almost thoroughly convinced alumni are paid to leave 5 stars all the time.
