Mariah Daniels

"I was in the first cohort for the LVN/LPN program at ACI, and it was so definitely worth it! My experience though, was quite different from many of my peers as I was pregnant throughout almost the entire program from beginning to end. Even though I had every odd against me, every one of my instructors did everything they could to ensure my success and I can never thank this administration enough for that. I graduated in October along with my peers, and I just found out that I passed the Texas State Board exam, so I am officially an LVN/LPN! I am forever thankful to this school and my instructors Miss Bailey, Miss Nikki, and Miss Tawana. They are the reason that I made it through and the reason I will be successful in my career.”

"I graduated the LVN program October 2022, and I am now a NURSE thanks to my amazing Program Directors and instructors Mrs. Bailey, Ms. Nikki, and Mrs. Twanna. A big thank you to all of the administrative staff as well. ACI should be your first stop if you are planning to become a nurse. "

"Ms. Laura in Financial Aid was very helpful, friendly, and super nice! I truly appreciated all of the assistance she gave me. Also, our instructors Ms. Nikki, Mrs. Tawanna, and Ms. Bailey definitely understood the assignment! I was in the first cohort and boy it was tough, but very worth it! Wouldn’t trade my experience for anything in the world! Again, I thank those ladies for sticking with us and getting through. "
