To anyone ever remotely thinking about becoming a CNA I would expeditiously recommend BELLEVUE !! Without a doubt Bellevue is the best school in the world and Ms. Williams is the heart of it all!! I can say from experience she puts her all into every single student that walks in and we all come out as the best trained CNAs all thanks to Ms. Williams!🥳 Ms. Williams has been not only an amazing teacher to me but SO MUCH MORE! I truly believe she’s been God sent on my journey because she’s taught me so much abundantly. She’s inspired me to see how far you can go in life with just taking a leap of faith to get your foot in the door of the medical field. I was apart of Cohort 26 and we finished class april 8th, I took my test April 14th and became a State Certified Nursing Assistant by April 17th because of her extensive training. You can do it too!!! I’m so grateful that I was obedient enough to take this leap of faith to see where it has lead me and will continue to lead me because I now am inspired to start my journey to get my BSN-RN. I was blessed to be able to get a new car in the process of all of this as well and maybe it was another sign from God that my new car happens to be Bellevue Blue as well🥰🚙. If I had the choice to do it all over again I WOULD 1000x more !! Bellevue has become a second home for me and i’m so proud to say that I was blessed to be able to experience the Bellevue way🥰👩🏽‍⚕️I will forever be grateful for this experience and encourage everyone to take that leap of faith too and join the Bellevue crew!🏡🫂I’ve been trained by the best and you can be too! #Theynotlikeus 🥰 #Bellevuewayornoway #Bellevue4L #Bellevuefamily #Bellevuecareercollege #StateCertifiedNursingAssistant

Bellevue Career College has been instrumental in my personal and professional growth. At 17, I faced significant life transitions, including relocating from Las Vegas to California and experiencing homelessness. I chose to pursue my long-held dream of a nursing career at Bellevue, inspired by a family member’s positive experience with the program and instructor, Nurse Williams. This decision proved to be life-altering.
From the outset, I felt a strong sense of belonging at Bellevue. The welcoming environment, cultivated by both the staff and students, created a supportive community. I promptly enrolled in the CNA/HHA program and formed close bonds with my cohort. Despite the demands of a considerable daily commute for evening classes, I remained committed to attending and actively participating. The exceptional instruction and consistent support at Bellevue exceeded all expectations, building my confidence and preparing me thoroughly for the certification exams.
Serving as cohort president provided invaluable leadership experience and reinforced my dedication to nursing. I am deeply grateful for the connections I made with my peers and instructors, especially Nurse Williams and Ms. Lopez. The graduation and pinning ceremony was a poignant celebration of our accomplishments, and I cherished the opportunity to contribute by speaking and singing.
I successfully passed my exams and earned my CNA/HHA license and BLS certification. At 18, I am now in stable housing, employed as a CNA, and pursuing my RN degree with aspirations of specializing in anesthesiology and forensic nursing. This remarkable transformation occurred within just four months of starting at Bellevue.
The supportive atmosphere and the unwavering dedication of the instructors, particularly Nurse Williams and Ms. Lopez, have been essential to my success. I am sincerely thankful for their guidance, encouragement, and unwavering support.
For prospective students considering Bellevue, I highly recommend following your intuition and exploring the program. While it requires an investment, the transformative potential and the close-knit community make it an incredibly valuable experience. My time at Bellevue has been profoundly positive, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a rewarding career in nursing.

Ms. Williams from Bellevue Career College of Nursing as an exceptional Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) instructor. Having had the privilege of being a student in her class, I can confidently say that Ms. Williams possesses all the qualities of an outstanding educator and mentor.

She shows a tremendous depth of knowledge in the field of nursing, which she expresses with clarity and enthusiasm. Ms. Williams ensures that each student not only understands the theoretical aspects of the curriculum but also gains practical, hands-on experience that is crucial for success in the healthcare environment. Her teaching methods are both innovative and effective, making complex concepts accessible, engaging, and understandable for all students.

Even beyond her teaching abilities, Ms. Williams is deeply committed to the success and well-being of her students. She provides personalized support and encouragement, fostering a learning environment where every student feels valued and motivated to achieve their best. She expresses empathy and patience at a great level. She uses resources even outside of herself to provide us with knowledge and real hands on experience. She staffs compassionate and encouraging teachers ro ensure our success. Ms. Williams is a role model of professionalism and compassion, exemplifying the qualities that are essential in the nursing profession. I would only want to display what she has shown me in the real world.

I strongly recommend Bellevue College for any teaching or mentoring role within the nursing field. I drove over 60 miles to experience this school simply off of recommendation by a previous student and placed no hesitation to sign up based on my first experience touring the school. I respect her decision making and value all feedback she provides me with regarding my education. Her dedication, expertise, and genuine care for students make her an invaluable asset to her students and I would bet almost anyone she comes in contact with. Thank you all for providing exceptional schools/ instructors for us to learn from.
