If you are currently a student, have graduated or going into this program, how do you like it? Do you feel prepared for nclex? How are the teachers, clinical sites? Anything and everything will be so greatly appreciated! I would love to hear any input that you can provide for me. Thank you. =)

@Adek - Wright College has one of the best NCLEX-PN pass rates in the Chicago-land area. Likewise, you might able to take advantage of their RN bridge once you complete their PN program. If you have the time to spare, I'd highly suggest that you apply for their program without delay. You never know how your luck holds until you try. :)

With regards to NWIHT... There will be days when you will encounter people who are less than at their best. This holds true regardless of whereever you go and who you interact with. If your experience with said school is just with one individual, my (unsolicited) advice is to see if you can speak with someone who might be able to get you the information you need. You'll do yourself a disservice if you count your option(s) out just because the person you encountered was not at his/her best. However, if you encounter the same negative behavior from said institution regardless of who you approach, then at least you can tell yourself that you've done your homework when you crossed them off your list.

Best of luck on your search...

@Adek - As with any CCC Nursing program, they'll actually tell you that having a good GPA and TEAS scores do not guarantee acceptance into the program. What they'll give you are the minimum criteria for acceptance. For the GPA, CCC (Wright included) requires applicants to have a GPA of 2.5 or higher. Yours is 3.5. :) With regards to your TEAS score -- TEAS is not a pass/fail test. Rather, it's given to individuals to measure their basic comprehension of English, Math, and Science. If you managed to get a GPA of 3.5 (which is pretty darn good), I think your TEAS score should be the least of your worries.

Regarding the Admission requirements for Wright College -- I know as much as the next guy (as I don't work for them). However, I do know that they conduct regular "informational sessions" where Q&As between the administrator and the applicants take place.

You may also want to visit their Admissions web page for more information. I've pasted the link below for your convenience.

Bottom line... If you dream it, believe in it, and act on it, it'll never be a question of if you'll ever become a nurse... it'll be only a question of "when?" I hope my limited answers above are able to guide you to your exciting career choice.

Work hard, play plenty, but study smarter.

Hanzo.
