Alia HealthCare Services

I was not very impressed with this company. The instructor, for my class, Angie, was AMAZING, and honestly the only redeeming thing about this whole experience. Other than that, I felt like the company was poorly run, and a little bit shady with all their extra fees. The lab and equiment that we were given to work with were a joke. Half of the hospital beds didn't work, the medical dummies looked like they were from the 70's, and they might have been. I did my clinical hours on a weekend with two instructors that I'd never met before. They were a husband and wife duo, and pretty unprofessional. They let us out early on the first day, because of having their own social engagements, which caused us all to get a phone call from Abed. If that wasn't awkward enough, the next morning, Abed's wife showed up to clinical, and yelled at the two nursing instructors in front of us, the whole class. She then said she'd never work with unprofessional people like this again. The whole situation was just so incredibly awkward and uncomfortable. During clinical, Larry, one of the instructors for the weekend, used the racist term "Camel Jockey", right in front of a classmate who was wearing a head covering. I was absolutely shocked, and pulled Larry to the side to tell him that he really shouldn't be saying things like that, and his response was that he was an old red neck, and used that term when he went into convenience stores too. Absolutely apalling. If you are looking for an STNA class, I would honestly save yourself the frustration and choose another program. I'm giving this place two stars, only because my instructor, Angie was amazing and a phenominal teacher.

I was looking for a program that would assist me with achieving my goal of becoming an STNA. After doing some research I decided to attend ALIA HEALTHCARE SERVICES ( Cincinnati campus on Boggs Lane ) . I had an amazing and thorough instructor named Scott Sites who is also an RN, MSN so he is very educated and knowlegable in this field. Not only did he provide knowledge but he also made the class fun and memorable as well. I have no regrets at all, and I would definitely choose to take this course again with Scott as my instructor.
