Agape Angelicum School of Nursing Arts INC.

"Maria is an excellent instructor and very passionate about what she teaches. The accelerated CNA course is challenging! If you're willing to be dedicated, work hard, and listen to what Maria teaches, you'll not only succeed but actually understand why you have to do your skills a certain way for personal and patient safety. I was at clinicals with students from a different CNA program who were taught incorrectly and I realized how lucky I was to have chosen Agape Angelicum. I highly recommend this program and Maria as an instructor."

"I had a great experience here and I highly recommend this course. I really enjoyed the clinicals, and getting real world experience through the course. Maria brings a lot of experience to the table, as a previous proctor for CNA examinations, and as a professional nurse. I chose this school because right off the bat she worked with your schedule, and she offered a personal one-on-one approach to learning. What more could you ask for in a school? Maria is passionate about teaching, knowledgeable, accommodating, and invested in your personal learning. The course offers real hands-on learning from the start, and you get a good amount of practice in. When you do something wrong, she will make sure you understand how to do it the right way. The class is fun, can be intense, but in a good way because she sets you up to succeed, and ensures you understand that every detail and action you do counts, just as in real life and the state boards exam. You do need to do a fair amount of practicing and learning on your own, due to the length of the course, but with that said this course offers you a quick way to become a CNA. In class there is a significant amount of one-on-one time which is very helpful in your personal learning. Class sizes are small, and have a personalized approach to learning. I especially benefited from Maria's practice as you learn approach to teaching. Overall, I highly recommend this program, Maria is a great teacher and an awesome person! I look forward to passing my skills examination. See you on the other side."

"Maria is great! I interviewed a couple of different CNA programs and was, by far, most impressed with Maria. She has her MSN; the minimum requirement for a CNA program to have on staff is an RN. The other school I interviewed has an RN on staff but is not the person that does most of the teaching. Which means a lot to me, because if you are going to teach something, you really need to have a lot more experience and knowledge beyond the skills in a curriculum. Maria has high expectations. She moves very quickly and expects her students to take the class seriously and to pay attention, work hard and study after class. She was also always very kind to stop and answer any questions my classmate and I had. I am very glad that I took the class from Maria. She’s a wonderful person, I really like her a lot and I feel privileged to have been her student."

"Maria goes above and beyond to accommodate scheduling, works in small class sizes, and will do just about anything in her power to ensure your success! I was able to complete the training while working two jobs. There was no other school that was willing to work with my schedule, but Maria worked with and around me to get my hours, a great clinical experience, and the confidence and skill to pass my boards on the first try. I highly recommend Agape and anyone who says otherwise was not willing to put in the work to be successful in any program."

"Agape Angelicum is a great CNA school. Maria is a awesome instructor!! She teaches you the fundamentals for nursing and CNA and also challenges you for the certification test. Maria has a lot of great knowledge that other instructors I have met, do not. The class sizes are small so you can really take your time if needed and get the best knowledge. I would recommend this school to anyone that is ready to join this work force!!"
