NorthWest College LVN Program [My Experience] 

Thank you so much for posting! Very informative! I was thinking about going thru North-West!

I start the LVN program March 27th and I’m very scared to even start because I’ll be paying out of pocket since I don’t qualify for financial aid since I’m not a citizen. Thank you for helping make this video and gives us a real life experience review. Just form my few interactions administration hasn’t been too good. Also going to LB location and heard they have a Glendale sister school which is better.

Northwest college is trash, during COVID they made us practice on oranges and hotdogs for our lab injections. And I feel so unprepared to go into MA. Please don’t waste your time guys. Btw thank you so much for speaking the truth.

I’m in the LVN program right now, and I totally regret choosing this school. I feel like I’m learning nothing. We don’t even get to practice our skills much. I’m basically teaching myself.

Your video is quite useful! Thank you so much . I was wondering whether or not to enroll in the LVN program and decided to give RU-vid a shot; you literally addressed all of my doubts. I don’t know anymore this program mat not be the one due to lack of organization and knowledge lol

Omg very formative thank you for posting! I was about to sign up for North-West 🤦🏻‍♀️

I attended North-West College in 2012-13 also. All of this is true. This is the honest to God truth, if you do well in an academic environment, you will not find the instructors helpful here. The person who teaches SOS (seminar for success), is NOT necessarily in the medical field. They hire for this role of SOS, and experience in the medical field is not required. Yes, they do get you to enroll first, and get you to sign financial aid loans or grants, then you have to perform to get a spot in the LVN program. I do not recommend this program UNLESS you can teach yourself or you need to start your career in nursing ASAP.

I understand what u are saying. I was signed up for NWC for LVN But I moved far but I completed the S.O.S. Nurse boot camp so that. Was very cool I never went to the first day of actual class so I was able to OPT out of the FAFSA part. But have since then applied for a Different University that offers BSN, ASN AND PTA and other programs. So I'm in a Full-time Nursing school now that's considered. A very good school in California. But it's not the NW college.its a different school it's 17 months long and intense. Thank u for this honest video. This is helpful.

Thank you so much even as I'm watching this I had to stop and say thank you this is very honest and straightforward about Northwest is there another College you would I want to start by July,

I just looked up the college and wow it’s private too that’s horrible to pay all that money for a ehh experience I would be absolutely pissed . Glad it worked out for you tho thank you for the helpful video !

Literally the truth

Private school is a nightmare I’m glad I’m done with my program . Exams were hard and everyone cheated. On the exit exam and the whole program basically 😂😂 they still let us sit for boards if we don’t pass the exit exam in California at least my school does.

Would you say the books they supplied are all you really need or would you recommend getting outside study guides and books? Meaning to help you throughout school

Im about to start NW this fall, are there any ways to study prior to the SOS? What materials do we need?

Hi! Do they make you take the HESI after each term to be able to continue the program at the van nuys location?

Thank you for this video. I’m thinking about becoming a CNA

Did you go to the one in Van Nuys? I’m starting mine next week. Also, do you have an IG?

Sounds challenging 😳great video 😀👏👏

Yup I went yesterday and that’s what I was told

Thank u for the info

18 months!! no way most programs around me are 12 months. you might as well do an adn program if you're gonna spend 18 months

If you have to go to school again, which career college would you go to? I’m just asking for personal opinion, thanks

In SOS what was the math portion consisting of? Thank you kindly 😁

Is it possible to get subjects thru online? Then get it credited later

How was the north west collage school Im thinking about joining for surgical tech hopefully my financial aid pays a little cuz Ik they charge a lot idk how much yet I have an interview of a tour for the school first

Whats the SOS program? And why do you need to apply for it ?

Hello i wanted to ask what kind of math do you utilize in sos for the lvn program cuz its the closest school i have to me

Any good CNA schools in West Covina? A reply would be highly appreciated.

I went to LPN school over a decade ago. Sounds like nothing has changed. It’s all about profit.

I’m in the medical billing & coding program

Hello! How easy was it to find a job after this program? Are they helpful in job placement?

Did the 3 alternates get in?

Where were your clinicals at?

Sos is online now were you online too ? And how was the online ?

When did you graduate from NWC?

So are you working now as an LVN?

I hope your friend didn't give up on nursing since he overslept
