I am a recent graduate of Four D. If you are considering applying, save your money and go to a community college. I had 6 Instructors in 13 weeks. Absolutely no consistancy among staff. The Director of Nursing (Victorville Campus) threatens students to keep them quiet. She also degrades them in front of others. She also finds at least one student in each class that needs a little extra attention and uses them as a snitch on the instructors and other students to find out whats going on in the class. If you want to be treated like a responsible adult, don't go to this school. I survived with a 3.7 average, not because of the school, because of family members that are RN's who taught me. Save your money! They have been and should be again reported to the Board of Nursing.

I dont agree with the negitive comments. this is not high school college is about reading and resurching your work. Of coure the instructors read from the book, are they suposed to get the information from space? who wouldnt need to look at the text? School when you are an adult is not for other people to solve your problems. Thats what being an adult is to solve your own problems!!! mabe if you want to go to a school where your hand can be held you schould not go to adult school mabe try elm. school again. Also lab work is based on the text we read if you cant read you wont be good at lab skills. I have grat instructors who really care and teach the program and they seem to give every opertiunity to pass the class as long as you do your part. A good rule to fallow in life is that... Life is not a hand out you have to work to make your life what it is so dont go to school looking for that and mabe you will be surprised at how much more able to adapt you are.

I am a former student, this school is horrible. The staff is rude, the instructors are horrible. The instructors and staff feel they are able to yell at the students and embrass them as well. The instructors are not well educated as well as the staff. If a student voice his or her concerns about anything then his or her education is treated from the staff (higher staff members). The school claims to be a christian school but there is nothing christ like about Four-D College. The school is only out too make money and do not care about the students whom they make the money from. I agree with the other concern student posted that teachers are reading from the book instead of teaching the subject. The teachers and staff are not there for the students. I WOULD NOT recommend this school to no one. Save your money and go to a real college and get a real education, therefore you will know what you are doing when you graduate and be proud to say you attend that school of choice.

I would just like to say I was very disappointed with the education I received through this college. There were instructors teaching modules of the program who were inexperienced and under qualified. We never had a proper skills lab. I graduated because I studied so hard and by the grace of god. Teachers were just reading from the books the whole time. They wouldn't even give us copies of the power point to study with because it was using to much paper. I am still paying on my19,000 dollar loan. If you had a complaint are issue you wanted to address there was attitude or we got told we were the worst class. As a business woman Mrs.smith should have never opened the Victorville campus early per peoples requests because we were stuck in a tiny office suite up until the last quaternary of school. She stated that she opened early for the people who asked and it was taking longer than expected for permits and such. There were times that are tests weren't getting graded right and I was getting marked wrong on questions that I proved were right and what if I hadent caught it you would think they could at least correct papers properly. There were so many issues that I could go on and on. If your considering this school be cautious you have better options

As a former employee in the high desert, I would like to warn anyone who is considering attending this school for the sole fact that employee turnover is terrible. This administration is constantly covering their behinds by firing individuals without cause when in fact the supervisors short commings are addressed. God forbid that you point out something which the supervisor fails to do, you will be terminated without cause or even worse, they will make it look like you failed to complete a vital part of your job. As a student this will hurt your education as you will never deal with the same instructors or the same staff. The staff are supposed to be there to help you get through and instead you get a new untrained person dealing with your issues. There are so many other choices for good education, this is not one of them!
