I'm
currently enrolled in the RT program at the Visalia campus
and I have to say that after reading the other
posts, I'm somewhat consoled that my program isn't the only
one experiencing these problems. Where do I begin? First of
all it's true, SJVC is a business with 1 thing
in mind .. . It's funny the RT recruiter was
my “best friend” until I sold my soul to those
people. Now won't mutter a hello in the halls. Are
these people commissioned? Small potatoes, I just find it hilarious.
Anyway ... nobody, w/ the exception of maybe 1 or
2 members of the staff gives a damn about you.
All they care about is your $, and they get
alot of it. The director of my program is indeed
a nut case that cares only for her own reputation.
I'm almost afraid to write this in fear of the
retaliation I will endure if it ever came to light
that I am the author. I've seen what happens to
people that make staff angry. Placing you at clinical sites
2 hours away from home is a light punishment. God,
I'm sooo sick of that place. I fully understood when
I signed up for the program that it would be
a heavy workload requiring alot of discipline and time, but
I never imagined that that place would be like a
concentration camp. I'm not exaggerating. It's fantastic how they demand
excellence from us but are not willing to give it
in return. If you are thinking about a career in
respiratory, I really recommend Fresno City College. Yeah, it'll take
longer, but you will save alot of $ and
recieve a higher quality education. Random uniform inspections?! Why don't
they quit worrying about what color my undershirt is &
start teaching me the skills I need to be an
RT? 90% of everything I've learned has been from
the different hospitals I've done clinical rotations at. Now we
can't even wear sweaters or jackets in the classroom because
it looks “unprofessional”. Nevermind that the thermastat almost never works
correctly. I've been in classrooms where the temp was 60
degrees in January. Thank you, Mr. Perry! Yeah... the CRT
exam is a crock ... it is held in place
to keep the school's passing rate. If you do not
pass it, you face being held back or dropped. I
say if you've sucessfully made it to term 3 and
cannot pass the exam, somebody has not done their job
correctly. Ofcourse, there is always 1 or 2 people that
don't pass because of poor study habits, but when 1/3
of a class doesn't pass, you begin to wonder. The
program is unstable and the school seems unable to keep
instructors. Staff members are rude and arrogant and students are
treated like second class citizens. I wonder what other scams
the Perry's are associated with? It's embarrassing to admit that
I'm a student. I always make sure to remove my
badge anywhere off campus because I don't want anyone to
know that I attend that dirtbag school. Ugh! Would somedody
can that stupid jingle already?! I could go on and
on, but it makes me angry and it makes me
feel like a fool to have been duped by this
institution.
