They even force you to do “grief counseling” should never ever be done by an intern. Good luck finding places that do orogastric intubation or let you use cat bags which by the way are considered outdated and cruel now in the veterinary field. So if they don’t do things that are on your list of skills which is probably many (especially if you work for a GP your completely screwed).

You have to find your own internship Penn Foster does not partner with the site so you are 100% on your own. I am a veterinary technician student going on 2 years in the program and am still working on the same internship that I was working on 8 months ago. So by the time you find out how awful the program is you’re already too deep to turn back. The most terrible part is the externship! By the time you get to the second externship you HAVE to complete your first two semesters.

They do not care about their students at all! I can handle working on my own (there are no teachers you learn from the textbook and online material only) but that is actually not the most terrible part. This back ally dumpster of a school is probably one of if the not the worst institutions of higher learning in the United States. 'Penn Foster is literally the worst just when you think they can’t stoop any lower they do.
