Dr. Kelly is absolutely amazing, and I am so lucky to have found her in my journey. As a Canadian nurse needing paediatric clinical hours; she was the only person in all of the nursing schools in Houston to respond and be willing to help me. She went above and beyond to ensure I not only got the hours I needed, but provided a textbook and many resources to ensure I was on the right track. I highly recommend this program for not only Foreign Nurses but anyone interested in taking the nursing program. I wish I had Dr. Kelly when I was in nursing school in Canada, she is very thorough and genuinely wants you to succeed! I am so grateful for this program.

I just want to say Prof. Amy Keen is the backbone behind the success of the students here. Shes an amazing instructor and I want to say thank you for always going above and beyond for students. God bless you.

Nursing school is not easy and is not for everyone! I read all these negative reviews and become speechless and bothered. People leave bad reviews for one of two reasons: school was too hard and the pressure was too much or they did not realize how much they would have to sacrifice and change theirs lives while in nursing school (which is temporary). Is Dr.Kelly tough? Of course without a doubt. Why: because she wants the best for her students and wants us to succeed and be the best once we are out on the field, who wouldnt. I took my pre-req classes at her school and finished her nursing program and if I had to do it all over again with Dr.Kelly I would without a doubt. So when reading some of these negative comments ask yourself why? Why is someone bashing a school who is offering an AMAZING program and want their STUDENTS to SUCCEED. Some people can not handle the HEAT. The school and Dr.Kelly are hands down the BEST. She is Genuine and cares for her students it is sad that some people fail to realize that which is their loss. In regards to complaints about prices look at Chamberlain tuition it is 100,000! Anything worth having in life never comes easy. I graduated Dr.Kelly 19-21 cohort and even now after graduating she checks on me and is available when and if I need her assistance! Oh and I passed my NCLEX first time - Speaks volume about the education I received

I had the pleasure of being able to attend this school from taking a couple pre requisite classes I needed and so thankful she was able to offer them there to also taking the HESI at the school and I personally took it more than 1X and Dr. Kelly was very encouraging and made sure to let me know if you want this to not give up and go home study more and try again which I did and Passed!!!!!! and for a person not having many people to encourage me through out my life, it meant a lot for Dr. Kelly to tell me that to me which she did not have to I am happy and thankful that she cared enough to say that to me. Finally I was able to meet all requirements and started the LVN evening program and graduated Jan 2021... Yessssss we had obstacles to surpass such as COVID which required for the school to go remote pretty fast and was a BIG change and somewhat hard for some students BUT all the professors there and Dr. Kelly were there to help us through the change and REALLY for us to be upcoming nurses we NEED to be ready for FAST changes and be able to handles things that happen without making a big deal just handle it!!!! I personally want to Thank Dr. Kelly and Professor Goodrich and all the other instructors and staff members at VNI and also thank all the facilities that Dr. Kelly worked to help us be able to do our clinicals because some facilities closed off for students and she cared enough for her students to have the experience, those are privileges that a lot of other school do not have. OHHH and I passed my NCLEX on the first try!!

This school seems to be a rip off how can you have students traveling up and down the highway just to do your classes online. Besides that covid-19 is really bad and it seems as though the so call professionals arent taking this serious. Im disappointed in this school system. Im just disappointed all around and also Amy Keen is a very rude and disappointing professor.

I was just a prospect student calling to get information and Ms. Robin was very rude and seem like she was rushing to get off the phone. I’ll take my money and interest elsewhere. Glad I read the reviews!

I went to this school in 2013-14, passed and passed my NCLEX without any problems. It’s a tough year no doubt but! If you want it Kim will make it happen. I’ve never seen such a hardworking instructor before and will be forever grateful to her and her staff!!! Thank you for helping me change my life!Sarah, LVN 💕

TO THE DIRECTOR OF THE PROGRAM: KIMBERLEY KELLY Thats really sad that no one can speak the truth about this school. More reason why people are afraid to speak up. And when people speak the truth, you say its defamation of character. It shows how much you know nothing about it. Youre forcing past students, previous students, friends and family to put good reviews so your school wont look bad, but wont accept the criticism. Stop send out emails and ALLOW PEOPLE TO GENUINELY PUT UP REVIEWS FROM THEIR HEART. Many businesses get bad reviews and you dont see any of them behaving the way YOU AS A DIRECTOR OF A REPUTABLE BUSINESS behave. Read up more about constructive criticism. On the positive side, we can see all the criticism worked because youre doing way much work with co-hort 2017-2019 then you did with any other cohort. Keep up the new work, but please change your attitude and how you treat people. Now you can screenshot this too! :) Have a nice day.

I just graduated from the evening LVN program in May 2019 and I passed my NCLEX-PN on May 24th 2019. That speaks volume about the the education I received from the School. I had everything I needed to succeed 😀

What a horrible LVN program!!!! Im sure my review will be removed off here soon like she removed a previous bad review! The TRUTH IS ALWAYS BITTER!!!! This school is not in your best interest but after your money!!!! I would never recommend my worse enemy to this program. If you want info about the school, ask 15-16 cohort, 16-17 cohort, and 17-19 cohort( current cohort I feel sorry for). We were treated like animals and the director demeaned us everyday. The director could never keep her staff because she was always belittling them. It was so bad that one of her former staff told a charge nurse not to allow her in the room she was in during our clinical rotation. She has left a bad stamp in people. Dont waste your money...especially 25,500k. Go to a regular college like HCCS, Lonestar, San Jacinto, or Lee.. WHERE YOU WILL ACTUALLY LEARN. The teachers dont teach. They read out of a book. Yeah.. something you can do at home. And one of the students cheated in the program and she knew it bc someone reported, but allowed her to pass nursing school. YOU CANT CHEAT ON THE NCLEX!!!!!! LONG STORY SHORT, WE ALL FOUND OUT THE CHEATING STUDENT FAILED!!!!! BUT SHE FAILED one student THAT WOULD HAVE BROUGHT HER SCHOOL TO 100% PASS RATE!! FAILED THE WRONG STUDENT EINSTEIN! Her pass rate has been horrible for the past couple of years, but thanks to the current cohort that she belittled, her stats are now relevant and will keep the program going!!! Dont say I didnt warn you! BEWARE! TURN AROUND AND DONT DROWN!
