Main teacher was amazing. School itself was very unorganized and at times unprofessional. Over priced considering most of my time was spent in the field with mentors who volonteered to teach me with no additional pay. If I take additional schooling in the future it unfortunately will most likely be with another college.
It was well taught, most topics relevant to the real workplace setting
I would like to see some education added to teach students how best to dress/undress patients, and do pad changes. That is a big part of the job, and it wasn't really covered at all. Less time on bedmaking, as it is not as important in the big picture.
As an older student I was nervous to go back to college but the staff made me feel like I belonged there. I loved going back and I was sad when the course was completed. Anita and Dodi were great instructors. I recommend Eastern College to people I talk to.
I just found it was unorganized and I never knew what I was suppose to be doing although I had a schedule , the director did not give me the important information I needed
I would like to say that the last week of classes was the worst. During the year we had Resume prep classes. I submitted mine there were no correction or issues. The final week of classes was portfolio completion. During this time I was told that my resume was not acceptable?? When asked how to correct it, the instructor provided no help. They did not know how to space my resume or make corrections?? I never missed one day of class during my whole time of study. I had to go to the job support center that assisted with resumes to get proper help. I took a day from class to so this. My instructor then wanted to deduct marks for missing class. I had to explain that they were not helpful at all on the subject for resumes and that I needed to go to a place that would help me. Upon review of my updated resume the instructor determined that I would not be deducted marks. Because of that one week I feel that the program should make changes with that part of the program. You should reach out to Job junction in Halifax NS for assistances. They specialize in resumes and interviewing. They would be an excellent addition to your college.
