Concorde Career Colleges

Major: Public Health (This Major's Salary over time)
When I first entered this school I was excited, but once you're in the program and actually see how things are you have a whole different perspective. Teachers will leave you half way through the class term. Clinical hours are horrible 12 hour shifts 3 days a week plus school time. 12 hour shifts 3 days a week is FULL TIME working at a hospital, most of the time at the hospital you are taking on your preceptors work load. So your working full shifts for free, I wouldnt mind it being 8.5 hour shifts 2 days a week like SJVC "San Joaquin Valley College." On one of our clinical sites we had a student that came from SJVC and that school is a whole lot better then concorde. Not only do they seem more educated but they get Littman stethescopes while we get stuck with the cheap $15 ones and they also get laptops. In my opinion if I could I would leave concorde and go to another school like SJVC or ACC. ACC only does 12 hour shifts 2 days a week.
