~ Amontee W.

"Excelling Nursing Academy has taught me the true meaning of giving a resident personal care. Ms. T. is a wonderful instructor. Very passionate about her profession. I appreciate her willingness to help and understand. Ms. Bobbi has been extremely helpful in helping me get in the program. Ms. Bobbi continues to answer my calls and help me when I need information."
~ Veronica

"Me and Nurse T. met at Caribbean Kitchen. The Jamacian restaurant and it was a wonderful day. This has been a good for me. I didn't know my heart could be so big until Nurse T. led me in the right direction. She has been a blessing to me and my family. I didn't know I had it in me to help people the way she helps people. Ms. Hill is also very encouraging. I thank these two ladies for everything they have done and are doing."
~ Anoymous

"Nurse T. and Mrs. Hill have taught me so much during these classes. I love that Nurse T. understood us because she used to be one of us. So she knows exactly how to teach us. Nurse T. not only teaches us how to be a CNA but she also shows us how to be a good person and do what we do from the heart. Mrs. Hill has been there for us also. She makes sure we are all prepared for everything and she stays busy to make sure we are ready for class and clinics. During clinics today, I learned a lot. Hands on training really opened my eyes. My resident kept telling me, "Thank you" and "I love you" and that really touched my heart and made me feel appreciated. During classes I thought that Nurse T. was teaching too much but in clinics it all actually came to me. So I just want to thank both Nurse T. and Mrs. Hill for helping me, motivating me and opening my eyes."
~ Aujanae W.

"Nurse T. taught me to never give up. Keep pushing. When I was getting ready to do clinicals, I was scared and discouraged. But when I teamed up with my classmates and did the hands on training, I didn't feel nervous anymore and I enjoyed taking care of the patient. Being in the class taught me things that I thought I knew how to do right, but I didn't. The class is very helpful because it teaches you how to be more compassionate and helpful. And it also teaches you how to doings that you may have to help someone else with or teach to them."
~ Sherri N.

"Of course we learned bookwork at Excelling but not only were we taught protocol and techniques, we developed a support system. Nurse Teberah and Mrs. Bobbi went above and beyond for us academically, physically and emotionally. I love how humble they are! When I initially started class and clinicals, I wanted to drop out, fearing I wouldn't do well but Nurse T. and Bobbi were there every step of the way. I'm glad they encouraged me to stay. They worked beside us and with us to make sure we excelled! I love them, as well as the profession!"

"My experience with Excelling Nursing Academy. As far as school, sometimes I felt like giving up due to me going to work and then school and having no time with my family. But getting to know Nurse T's story and how hard she pushed herself to get up extra early, get her daughter ready for school and how she didn't give up and showed me with hard work and dedication (and God!) anything is possible. Also I appreciate Bobbi and the drivers and the Nurse for going out of their way for all of us. Staying late, motivating everyone and reassuring us that everybody can do it and don't stop at being a CNA. And Mrs. Porche was awesome! Far as the clinical, it sure showed me that some nurses and CNA's feel that it's just a job and nothing else (very sad). But I enjoyed all the residents and Nurse Erica was very educational and I appreciate her letting us shadow her. At the end of our course, we will be Excelling Students. Go Purple!!"
