Most Recent Reviews
HACC's nursing program is awesome. It is a challenging program, but prepares you for real world nursing. After I graduated, they revamped the program to help make it more affordable and attainable for a working student. The professors are knowledgeable and take the time to get to know each student. Additionally, I spent some time doing adjunct work for HACC. They keep their alumni close and connected.
The CNA course at HACC was great. My teachers were very knowledgeable and friendly during the classroom period as well as the clinical period. They were glad to answer any questions and to help when needed as well as to let you try things on your own and learn that way. They were understanding and willing to help when emergency situations popped up.
