Business ProfileforCambridge College of Healthcare & Technology

I Attend the ******* campus and join the Radiology tech program in January of 2023. I have been a student here for almost a year now, and there has been very poor communication and a rotation of staff in and out of the school. The majority of my classmates' sites were far, so we did ask to switch, but we were told no. At clinic i did doze off while sitting for a while, and my CI at the site asked me did i wanted to go home, and i said no and apologized and explained it won't happen again. About 30 minutes later my CI told me I had to leave, I asked "why", and her response was " I'm not going to argue with you" so I left. I spoke to the director at Resurgence over the phone and explained what happened, and she told me she usually writes students up for that type of behavior, but she was not going to write to me. I received another phone call shortly after where she asked me about my commute time, and I expressed it was about an hour and ************************** Decatur. The director told me I was not telling the truth, as she comes that way all the time. I did explain that I was quite familiar with the area because my aunt lives out there, but I didn't feel comfortable in the area due to my previous experiences with discrimination. When I explained this, I was immediately banned from all Resurgence for 6 months. My program director informed me that there was nothing they could do and unfortunately, I forfeited my cite and must sit out a semester, ensuring me future placements. I did reach out to the site complaint line, hoping to speak to someone about getting the six months dropped, but instead it turned to never returning indefinitely. My school then told me I could not continue the program anymore as I would not be a "priority" for placement. I don't believe the school tried to keep me at all, fearing being dropped by Resurgence. The handbook says you could get 15 demerits for sleeping at clinic, not dismissal. I am a great student and get awesome grades.
