Unitek College Bakersfield Campus

"WORST SCHOOL EVER !!!! Please avoid at all cost & go somewhere else. They are such a hassle & unprofessional. Take your money & run !!!"

"A lot of good instructors here. I wish communication between faculty and students was better. I also wish instead of instructors telling students to read the whole book they would create a summary of notes that is important, because the school is fast pace and not everyone have time to read the whole book. Overall it’s a good school. I graduated in 2022 and passed NCLEX with my first attempt. This school is very fast pace if you don’t have time to fully invest, don’t do it. It is not easy. You have to fully commit yourself, and your support system to your education. If you have young kids make sure you have a strong support system and child care. Good luck and study smart not hard."

"Recent Vocational Nurse graduate , and I’m officially licensed as well . Unitek college had done a phenomenal job at getting me to where I am today , from day one , to graduating , to passing the nclex. The instructors are amazing ! To the theory and clinical instructors , Ms, Fe / Claudelle / Imelda / Gina / Destiny / Rose and to the amazing director , Ms. GeV . And to the ladies down stairs that runs the front desk, especially Kayla ! Thank you for being part of my journey and the endless support and knowledge and skills you guys have taught me ! To adress a lot of the concerns , first off the program Is Fast track Meaning you will need to be able to keep up with amount of assignments and lectures being thrown at you . It’s very possible, you just have to be disciplined and motivated . If you’re a very slow learner and need more timing to learn subjects , I recommend you stick with community college , that way you can go on your own paced . Many complain of it being hard , of course it’s going to be hard , it’s nursing school. Nursing school is designed for you to critically think as a nurse , if nursing school wasn’t hard then everyone would be doing it . And no private school is perfect , they are all the same , unitek will do their part and most importantly you need to give and do your part as well . You can’t expect it to be handed to you directly, you need to put in the studying time as much as possible . The tuition is pricy , but again it’s your decision whether to pay that or not , or you can just go to a community and Pay less but you will have likely have to be wait listed for years at a community college unless you get lucky and get in the program! A year ago before starting with unitek , I was attending community college and was told I would be waiting approximately about 3-4 years just to get accepted into the nursing program, but I did my research and knew that sacrifices I was gonna have to make , and just like that I’m a officially a licensed Nurse! If you have patience, dedication, and commitment and very understanding, then I highly suggest unitek college !"

"This is the most expensive nursing school in Bakersfield. The scrubs they give are the cheapest they could purchase and some of the teachers they hire are the worst nurses you could ever meet. Many complaints about an incompetent and unprofessional professor have gone unheard many times by my cohort. Rest assured if you come here they don’t care about you, your well being, or the hostile learning environment created by your professor. And if you go here, don’t bother wasting your time to speak up for yourself because they literally don’t care about you."

"I'm a current grad from the VN program, so heads up, if you're looking for perfection don't go to this school, you'll be disappointed, they have some kinks they can straighten out (ex. last minute changes in the class schedule). But overall they have a good VN program, and have helpful staff members available like Kayla Campista, the Career Service Advisor, she's awesome and super helpful. Some of the instructors are phenomenal, like Ms. Gena, Ms. Fe, Ms. Claudelle, Ms. Dani, and Dr. Kaur, I'm grateful and appreciative for all of them. Best of luck to you."
