Gurnick Academy - Sacramento Campus — Attraction in Rancho Cordova

If it were possible to give this school a zero I would. This school has allowed other students to bully my child. They simply sweep everything under the rug. When requested documentation for each time my child went to them with concerns they couldn't furnish any documentation. They have allowed their instructors to discriminate against my child's natural hair. When I filed a grievance the Director Gena Miller dragged her feet on responding. Her response was investigations take time. When requested for a time line she never responded back with a timeline. Students were made privy of private emails sent to their leadership team. When I called this out to Gena Miller no response from her. Students were also made privy to an instructor being terminated. This was an open discussion in the classroom setting. Instructors play favoritism towards certain students. Giving more grace on tardy towards certain students. To which this instructor was seen speaking privately to these same students that she allowed to arrive late on a daily basis. After this concern was brought forth to the Director Gena Miller. When I requested to have a face to face discussion with Gena Miller and stated where I wanted to sit inside my child's classroom. Gena Miller informed me that I couldn't. Meanwhile I wanted to sit inside the classroom to make sure that my child felt safe. As other students had made comments about finding out who the snitch was an dealing with them. When I received Gena Miller's investigation she denied every concerns brought forth to her. After my last email sent stating where any further updates I wanted it to come from her superior and not her. I received a threatening email form their legal counsel. Rather than do a thorough investigation and not deny truth they simply no longer want to deal with it and let their attorney deal with it. Don't waste your money on this school. They lie and will...

This is the worst LVN program in Sacramento. The problems started during the admissions process when Naomi Hough gave me the wrong information on what time the PM classes start. Telling me they start at 5:30p, instead of 5pm. I work 8-5, so working full time became virtually impossible. & when asking the school for a little help or leeway for the time, they stated they could not. Yet your instructors are showing up late to teach us everyday? So it’s okay that they have work and lives and can come to school 30-45 minutes after class starts, but the students can’t be 1 minute late. Problems continued to get worse through the program, as the school is extremely disorganized. I have had several different instructors through this course, because they can’t seem to keep staff. Everyone either quits within a few weeks or gets fired. They are more concerned about our uniforms than actually teaching us. I’ve had to do the same lesson over & over during clinical days because they have no actual instructions or teaching plan. Most of the time we sit for HOURS doing absolutely nothing just so they can keep us there for time. The new clinical director Mrs Ebony has no idea what she’s doing. The campus director Ms Gena could literally care less about the students. & other staff have told students about how faculty sits in meetings and says the most disgusting things about the students. The only person who might SLIGHTLY care about you is Ms. Tabitha. But that depends on what mood she’s in for the day. Anybody who will listen, has been told that they should not come to this school. You’re better off at another LVN program in Sacramento, as this school simply will not prepare you to become a nurse. Save your time,...

Zero Stars — Great Instructor, But the Program Is a Mess

While the course instructor did a great job with the material (especially for a fully online course), everything else about the Gurnick DXA program was incredibly frustrating. The amount of back-and-forth just to complete the program was exhausting — constant miscommunication, unclear expectations, and a total lack of coordination between departments. It felt like I had to fight for every step just to move forward.

From trying to schedule clinical hours to getting basic questions answered, the process was chaotic and stressful. Emails went unanswered, timelines were inconsistent, and it often felt like no one knew what was going on. For a program that’s supposed to be training professionals in a technical medical field, the lack of structure and support was honestly shocking.

The only thing that kept this from being a total waste of time was the instructor’s effort to make the material understandable and engaging. But even a solid instructor can’t make up for a program this poorly run. I wouldn’t recommend Gurnick’s DXA certification to anyone unless they’re ready to constantly chase down answers and advocate for themselves every...
