I was a recent grad of this school. Looking for job stability in the health care industry based on our current economic climate, I looked at this school as a viable solution to get the necessary training and education to best prepare me to become a dialysis technician. The education provided by this institution is top notch, as students were immersed with teachings and first hand experience from nurses, PCT's, social workers, as well as dietitians who have accrued substantial years of knowledge. The amount of time spent in the classroom and gaining clinic experience is only four months. Classes are three times a week and four hours a day, and held in the evenings on Tues/Thurs and in the mornings on Saturday to accommodate those who try to balance work and school. The class size is no more than ~20 students, which is a plus as it allows for an intimate learning atmosphere where each individual is given undivided attention. Students are also able to fully prepare and be in direct contact with varying models of dialysis machines as well. Putting a patient on and off treatment is simulated in the classroom, and all materials that are found in the clinic (needles, dialysis lines, clamps, saline, bicarb/acid bath, gauze, etc) are readily available so students are truly prepared before entering an actual clinic. What sets this school apart from others is the attention to detail, and the focus that is centered around the patient to give them the best dialysis possible. Ethics is a prevailing centered-upon theme (taught by social worker), and students are routinely tested on this topic. Providing dialysis treatments is a growing need, and there is no better school to provide the education necessary to prepare oneself to enter this field. Last but not least, Mike, the schools owner and teacher, cannot be more approachable and accommodating. It's not too often where one meets a person in his position willing to go above and beyond what is necessary to ensure success in others.
