Northeast Medical Institute - Stamford Campus

Thank you NEMI for the great experience! I started the class in late July early August with the online self paced cna program and then went rifht to the lab and labs skills. Right from the get go I was told everything I needed to know even about the clinical waiver which was is process. We were asked to sign a covid form which explained all the requirements that CT DPH set to graduate. The teacher Tymel and owner were great! The responsiveness was unbelievable!nnAnytime I had a question or wanted to know when the waiver would be approved they told me the most up to date information. I even emailed the DPH to see what was taking so long and they explained it is a process and NEMI had no authority, like mentioned, to process our certificates until they received the clinical waiver.nnNortheast Medical helped me attain my Temp NA to use for the mean time. The hands on skill training and the online were excellent! They go very much in depth about what happens in nursing homes and brings it to life by representing the nursing home with short video clips.nnWELL TODAY IS THE DAY! I RECEIVED AN EMAIL THAT THE WAIVER WAS APPROVED!nnNow I can go and get tested at a prometric testing facility! I would highly recommend this school, they kept us safe during covid with their mandatory protocols and allowed me to attain my cna certificate of completion online!

Update in response to NEMI’s Comment-nnAt this time they’re advertising a CNA course that you can’t graduate from. With that being said save yourself the hassle and find another option. I have reviewed the acknowledgment and nowhere does it state what you’re claiming. As no one would knowing pay $1500 for a course they cannot graduate from. This is extremely fraudulent, unethical and unprofessional practices. I and many others reach out to the program coordinator on a weekly basis and receive nothing but excuses. We have completed the required hours for the CNA certification. So to finally know that we will not be able to graduate until the end of the pandemic is disheartening.nnOriginal Review:nIf you’re planning on taking the CNA course here, it’ll be in your best interest to wait and not waste your money. The course came to a non refundable total of $1,550 (350 for registration plus 1,200 for the course itself). None of these expenses go towards the state exam so expect to come out of pocket for that as well. The course was informative and the instructors were great and relatable. They gave us real world advice and tips from a CNA and LPN prospective, which we appreciated. Due to the pandemic we weren’t able to complete clinicals and the course took 1.5 months to complete not 2.5 weeks as stated on the website. (2 weeks to complete the online module, 8 days of labs, 1 week waiting period for clinicals which ended up being substituted with additional lab days)nnI began the course in June and as of today, September 1st, many others including myself have yet to receive our certification to take the state exam and become licensed CNAs. According to the owner, The CT Department of Health has yet to sign off on documents that’ll waive clinicals during the pandemic, a process which prevents this institution from awarding participants their CNA certificates.nnThe website makes the course seem very attractive “Become a CNA in 2.5 weeks”(under normal circumstances this may be true) however, if you’re in desperate need to become a CNA and find employment asap, save your money and do not take this course during this time.

Great staff!nnI was originally going to take phlebotomy only. After a great experience and wonderful instructor, Lynn, I decided to take more classes.nnEKG also taught by Lynn. :)nnThe CNA instructor, Tymel, is patient, thorough, and makes learning skills fun. He has a knack for teaching. I also had Najera and Tamisha during 2 of the days. They were amazing as well!nnBLS instructor, Sean, has a ton of energy. Important information and skills were mastered in only 3 1/2 hours.nnI was very happy that NEMI offered online options during this pandemic. Dan is very helpful with logistics, helping students to register for state and national exams, responds quickly to emails and messages, and very knowledgeable about all aspects of the program.nnPushing 50, I was hesitant to go back to school. I was comfortable from day one of class. This has given me the confidence to continue my education.nnIf you are interested in healthcare, NEMI is the place. Ask for Dan. :)

I took a CPR class with Northeast Medical Institute. They were very quick in responding to my requests and Sean was an awesome instructor. I am thinking about coming back to take the CNA and Phlebotomy course they offer.

Took the phlebotomist class here. The experience was great here, the teacher was phenomenal, and the small class sizes are a plus. Please keep in mind that the school does not offer an externship. The school did mention that they do not assist with externships. Due to this fact, I would strongly suggest finding another avenue that will. I wish I could stress the importance of having that additional experience when finding a job as a new phlebotomist graduate. You WILL need that experience, and it will be incredibly difficult to find a job on your own because no one wants to employ a new grad with limited experience. Please note, I also took the class during the pandemic, and was to receive CPR training as well, but that was cut short/removed from our plan of study yet we were not offered a refund for that portion we paid. I was looking to do a CNA or an additional program, and I honestly wouldn’t do it here. Not having an externship is my main reason for not coming back to this company. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY PASS MY EXAM THANKS TO THE HELP OF THE GREAT TEACHER THEY HAD, but if I could do this class once more, I would not select this company. :)
