Horrible customer service and company

Unpleasant experience
CNI IS A HORRIBLE school. RUN.
They'll take your money and provide mediocre education. From my experience, I have watched Professors come and go, leaving a huge gap in my education because the course doesn't have a professor to instruct the class. Their lack of communication is baffling. THEY REFUSE TO REIMBURSE OR LOWER PAYMENTS.
Here's 147k up in smoke.
Well done CNI. Criminal behavior at its finest.
User's recommendation: RUN. Do not waste your money.

5 reasons to not attend CNI for MRI Tech career
1. the tuition depending on the program you choose will range in 50-70K as you pay for the tuition it all DEPENDS on your income and what really blown my mind off is the LV or BSN program tuition costs is around $100k something dollars. WOW! Those tuition pays are similar to a career pay in an actual job itself, I was shocked that my tuition is $40k, and I was nervous about enrolling, once I agreed there was no turning back. Another is background checks, when working on the background checks you have to pay after you answer all the questions for the background checks. You'll be surprised how much you have to pay when enrolling to this school, and once you pay, you're in it for the long wrong.
2. Breaks, events, and planning a trip: after a term is finished you only have 1 week of break, and it's back to school as a new term starts. The only time you have a 2-week break is Christmas and new years because breaks for this school are based off important dates. THOUGH, what really blew my mind is on November, we have class on Veterans Day, like seriously, it's a day that we celebrate our veterans that served in 6 branches of the military, like seriously CNI why not give 1 day of break to celebrate our veterans. Another is 4th of July, we had school on 4th of July which is seriously ridiculous because why are we having a class on that day when we could be having a break to celebrate. Lastly, if you're planning for a trip with your family, YOU! Have to check in WITH THE FACULTY! And the school is on your *** all the time if you don't check in. (Sometimes I don't want to check in because it's my personal family privacy trip and I have to check in because they mark who's present or absent). Like, why the *** ! Do you faculty care of what we do in our own lives, don't you all got a sense of respect for others privacy, and sometimes I don't want to check in with the faculty? Lastly, when we finish a term, we only get 1 week break, and it's off to classes again (not a single faculty doesn't send an email regards about our condition in classes), and the assistant for MRI sends in things late for classes, and the school is rushed.
3. Coming into campus for book pick-ups and appointments (uniform or street clothes): One time I had to get my 2nd or 3rd dose, I was running a little bit late like 5 minutes because my uniform was in the wash and I had to my wear my street clothes which I normally were. Upon my arrival, in campus, as I was greeted with a pretending smile by two receptionists and I checked in for 2nd or 3rd dose appointment. The second time I had to go to campus is when my former computer teacher said there was a "UNKNOWN MAN IN ALL BLACK" entering campus last week and I explained to him that was me because I was running late, most of the students in the MRI program when going in for appointments they were wearing street clothes and how come I was the only one who got reported by front desk.
4. Anatomy & P, Physics: for those classes it's a stressful, tiring, and energy wasting classes. To start off for A&P, the professor didn't introduce himself to the class (he was recently hired after my first term after math, eenlist and computer) he got straight into the lecture and DID NOT explain his teaching style, a little about himself, and HE DOES not ask if we are ok, how are you feeling. His teaching style is basically, he would spend an 1 hour 30 minutes on a slide and hop between topics, all the to the beginning as it was consuming time, and he would give us 1-2 minutes on each slide and on top of that when we ask him to spend 10 minutes he would give like a mean attitude facial expression. Lastly he would MAKE everything perfect to fit in the 4-10pm 6 hour lectures, instead of him teaching us and caring for the students, he would just continue doing the same habit. One time on the first or second day of A&P he didn't let us go for break, and he proceeded to teach until 10PM. CNI COLLEGE hire an applicant who cares about their students well-being, who's compassionate, and understands them. Second, in physics it's very unorganized, after lectures we would have quizzes right after and the days were Thursday and Fridays, no time to study it was straight up like after lecture its quizzes now, what really blew off/shocked me the most is 3-5 attempts under 20-40 minutes, that's ridiculous why would the school give us many attempts on quizzes that range 20-60 minutes and all the answers were found differing website quizzes. Lastly, the professor has bad internet and the majority of the class is the internet of his is lagging/breaking up and telling stories that are not relevant to the topic of physics. When we ask the professor to review the incorrect answers and why they're hidden his answer was, "oh it's the school' policy and for privacy reasons, I cannot do that because it's the policy" me hearing this, I'm like wow, you're the professor, it's your responsibility to help us learn & correct my mistakes and what to do next time when we have another test, another is to teach us step-by-step, give us assign topics to read and take notes, and we teach ourselves and be prepared.
5. WHY 4-10pm classes and switching days:
I don't the point of having 4-10pm of 6 hour classes and switching schedules, these classes got me confused with the hours because what is the whole point of having 6 hour classes until 10pm and Thur & Friday I'm never taking it again. P.S. I feel like these professors are trying to make all the lectures perfect to reach 6-hours and I disagree as well, confused of having 6-10pm classes. The schedules had changed my body physically, in the morning I feel tired and at night I'm wake, thought I try to sleep at my normal sleep schedule of regaining the habit of returning to my normal schedule.

COMPLAINT CRIMINALS
Students in Criminal Justice with defaults are barred until lifted.
Any default bars Criminal Justice related careers by law.
CNI College is a front with no services to offer. Of coarse, criminals pretending to be a college would charge two or three times more than near by actually colleges (tuitions goes to students' bank accounts).
We are dealing with the lowest kinds of *** These crooks hope students are late in payments to accrue interest. The biggest lie to so called CNI College is that once any unsuspected student signs up he or she cannot leave. Real colleges allows a withdrawal. The owners the Buffington are not even worth a penny with their overbearing and fat Kay Kenyon that nobody likes.
CNI College knows they will never deliver what is advertised which is suable under false business advertisement. Their massage course is an underground ring brothel. Obvious they do not care to get any career as tooted with the network of personnel that cannot find jobs any where else.
US Department of Education knows CNI College pocketed all of my four grants at the time and stole two tuitions under $12,000.00 each for a course that was not taught and no real certificate. I suggest a class act lawsuit against CNI.
- Night classes
- No degree program

LVN program
I attended when the had the LVN program and let me tell you it was an intense drama filled post menopausal nightmare. These group of older women were backbiting, unprofessional and ragefull. The DON was unstable and insecure, yes I'm talking about you Mrs. VJ. Mrs Detwiler was a truly unorganized horror of a woman. The was a sex scandal involving the most hideous little Filipino instructor and an old white Mormon instructor that was well, prejudiced. All these instructors thrived on intrigue. They all had psychological problems and engagedThe last I heard they cleaned house.
You know now that I'm a new nurse, all my skills are learned in the field PLUS I take from mentors. Instructors out there, be generous with your knowledge and be WILLING TO TEACH. If you don't like your job then get the f$&@ out!
Nightmare of a school, a true nightmare.

SCAM! they Bait and Switch!
I Attended an MRI program at CNI College, prior to enrolling I wanted to make sure the school was accredited for the program I was attending. They sit you down and tell you all the money you can make as an MRI tech once completing the classes and passed the ARMRIT exam.
What they DON'T tell you is, That there are ONLY 2 states in this country that actually recognize this certification!! Any Job you look for in MRI Requires you to have a CRT license in Addition to ARRT. In some rare cases, you can get a job with a Certified Radiologic Technician license + ARMRIT. To get a CRT its an additional 15-24 months depending on the program.
They NEVER mentioned that once!. I needed a career switch due to not being able to perform Clinical massage anymore because of my injuries. I have a family to support and now I am having to go back to school in order to find work in Medical Imaging. For the same price, I could have attended Loma Linda, Graduated with the necessary certificates and an AA.
Now I am still struggling to make ends meet and having to add another 34k in school loans. Save time and money..
go somewhere ELSE!! you will be glad you did.

STAY AWAY FROM CNI COLLEGE! They only care about your money!
Can you be more specific? Im thinking of going there, but want to be completely informed before I choose this school.
My main concern is if they prepare you for the NCLEX exam.
The main reason why i want to go here is because the program is so fast, but if they do not prepare you well then there is no point of going to this school! thanks!

Worst school, DON,ADON and teachers.
I'm a term 2 student attending CNI college. At first, I was hesistant to believe the rumors but now they are all coming true.
The teachers are sloppy and don't know what they are teaching. Ms. Becky is very prejudice and discriminating. She only likes phillipino and white students only and favors them a lot.
She is rude, unprofessional as she looses her temper easily when things don't go her way. Mr. Ian is another clown of the school. He flirts with every single girl and has slept with many of my friends.
This school is a joke!! Clinical instructors are not teaching us but walking around during clinicals. My friends in other school have told me that they learn more than what we learn at CNI. Where did they get these instructors?
We are constantly having new instructors and every one wants something new in clinicals. They are not at the same page. Get together!! I heard the seniors compliaining of about Ms.
Sandy Carter, the DON, that she doesn't know what she is doing, she lies to students constantly and then changes the stories. This is a nightmare. Kathie Le doesn't know what she is doing by lying to students about small things.
Please don't come to this school!!! There is so much drama here, it's not funny.
How about clinical instructors sitting in the Dining room and the Nursing office during clinical time and leaving their students in the supervision of floor RN or leaving them alone , not passing medications nor treatments as they are told or instructed , " just to follow RN around and observe ". Some are with their books and reviewers . They might as well go to the library not in the clinical sites .

This college does not care about its students, all they want is your money. After you graduate they will not help you to find a job, they have not returned my calls for 1 year.
Waste of my money.
Before I started I was told that they will help me find a job, that they have all the hook up, well after I graduated they didnt help with anything, i had to write my own resume, didnt even get help with that. And its not just me I kept in touch with half of my class and they didnt help them either.

CNI Santa Ana, CA - Lvn Program Violations
I was attending a lvn program for 9 mos ($30,000). This school is the worst i've seen yet.
They are testing students from other books that students are not accommodated with. They are violating student's bathroom privileges,they are also verbally abusive to their students. The passing rate was 55% when I started DON very dishonest to students stating that the board was giving false information.
If you leave that school they will not give you your transcripts, you have to obtain an attorney to get transcripts. They are failing certain students (especially if you are vocal)
I went to talk to the owners of this college about why they changed the curriculum and how come so many teachers are leaving and i didn't get a hywhyz...
They only care for the money for the students and we have had no teachers in the last week. This is upsetting to me.
Sandy the DON doesnt' know anything..she is asking the students what should be done. My questions are never answered. We had no lectures for the past few weeks and I'm so looking forward to end of this term.
This school only cares for the money, and not for our needs. I'm pissed and want people to know about this school.
