Great place for the veterans to be taken care of, but terrible woman they have for state testing. Came in to take my CNA exam and they lady threw a fit because i didn’t have my ID with me. instead of telling me what i could do because i didn’t have it she blabbered to me about how i needed it. if a place is going to be holding a testing event for students they should have a more considerate, welcoming staff member instead of one who acts like they’ve got a stick up their behind :)
