I am also a student of Jethro - took my CNA there in Jan 2011 - passed the IDPH Board Exam, later I took Dialysis - and then Phlebotomy - I also passed the CCHT Board and Phlebotomy last Dec. 2012. I am now working as a PCT in a big hospital in Chicago.
I would just like to be fair and give comments on evaluating Transcript of Records since this is one of the requirement to take the Board Exam . When I enrolled last year, at the time of my registration, Jethro staff reminded me that I need to have my diploma translated and evaluated since I graduated from Mexico. The school send all of us a written reminder before the final exam. Most of us, we did not mind about it because we thought it would be easy to do the evaluation. Some of my classmates they ask Jethro to help in evaluating their diploma which was around $ 80 and took them 3 to 4 weeks to get the evaluation. I thought 3 to 4 weeks is a long time, so I did it by myself- I went to internet and look for an evaluating company, I was charged $ 160 and I thought it would be like 7 days only but it took them 4 weeks also to do the translation and evaluation. I called up the evaluation company and they said that it depends upon the country of origination. Sometimes, school don't respond immediately and most of the time, school are in remote provinces or are already closed - thus evaluation time takes longer than usual. In my case, my school in high school closed 10 years ago .... In fairness to Jethro School - it is not the school staff's fault if evaluation of diploma /transcript are delayed. The school only acts us an emissary and they are not the one doing evaluation. So , don't blame the school of something they are not in control. Blame the school if they don't have good teachers or curriculum. I might say for me, I love the school since I had been there from CNA to Advance Dialysis and I was able to get a job and change my life.... thus, I am grateful to Jethro. My advise, be fair before judging people .....
