i am wondering if there are any new cts rn grads out there and if they passed the nclex, and got jobs. i recall some posts referring to cts not being nlnac accredited, and how this could potentially be a problem when applying for jobs. one nurse i know told me that she personally would stay away from any program that is not nlnac accredited because she thinks it would be hard to find a job. i work at a hospital now, not in patient care, but i spoke with our education coordinator about the school and she said that the fact that cts has been turning out lvn/lpns for sometime now, and that it is approved by the va board of nursing gives her a good feeling, however, because she hasn't had any contact with the school or its students, as it is out of our hospital's area, she is still hesitant to give it a thumbs up.

if you went to cts, got your adn, passed the nclex, and got a job, or if you didn't, please tell me your story. i am still interested in the school because i believe the time saved would be well worth the money. i looked over the curriculum and i thought it was very well organized, and the small class size is very appealing. that said, if in the end i can't pass the exam and there is no job, well that's a problem! please tell me your story!
