IUON Graduates?

U.S.A. Oregon

Published

Hi:

I was wondering if anyone has heard anything about (IUON) the international university of nursing in St. Kitts? It sounds interesting but expensive. I have not heard of any clinical's in Oregon or California, does anyone know if they are a reasonable school to go to. Or any schools in Oregon without a huge wait list?

Thanks :)

Hi Missy,

So you were able to successfully transfer to a U.S. school? i've been trying to decide if i want to attend st.kitts in the fall and all the mixed feelings about this school have really confused me. So you no longer have regrets about attending? And the debt was worth it?

DO not attend IUON. It is not worth the hardships you will have to go through. The program was so bad I can't comment. The money was not worth it. It was the biggest mistake I made in my life. Stay on US soil and wait to get into a school here. Trust me.

I have just been accepted to IUON, and I am extemely excited. I am really excited and can't wait. I am going to look up housing on the schools website, is it a good place to look? What at the do's and don'ts for renting there? And how is the student teacher interaction?? Is there a lot of 1 on 1 or are there to many students addending for that?

Any help would appreciated!

The cost of tution is too expensive for the type of education you get. It was a pretty cheap and crappy education- I know- my friends are nurses....Studying for the NCLEX was a nightmare- I basically had to teach myself. IUON does not give you the tools you need to be an effective Nurse. Plus, clinicals in St Kitts is also nothing special- it was a joke. IUON was a hardship- it's behind me- and I would NEVER do it again or recommend it to my worst enemy. My experience was horrible, yours may be better - I don't know- I am just telling you how it was for me 2008.

why would you go to IUON if you got accepted in OR? There are no benifits to attending the program at IUON.

I do not want to personalize or individualize any response placed or posted here....But one needs to call a spade a spade when its seen.

G Unit Nurse honestly I scense more to what you trying to say...but this forum is not a place to form personalized attacks, what ever it is you went through IUON has come a long way as in Any New college/university which is green on the block. The school has had its faults and some real screw up times, but all of this has a root, and problems, causes One to become better and more efficient.

Iuon has graudated many students, through the assistance of its partner school Iuon have earned its respect amongst new colleges and vetrans alike. St.kitts for goodness sake is an island what did you expect? Its not a U.S Territory so ones clinical experience will not be as seen on T.V life in the E.R kind of drama.

The community and people are very open and welcoming, where in the U.S one can exercise The Nurse-Patient relationship without feared of being Sued?? I'v learnt to embrace newer cultures and experinces for wat its called.

I am returning to Iuon this coming Semester, anD i will be pursuing the Caribbean Track Regional Commonwealth Boards/ Exam slated for April 2010, so that I can pratise either in Canada or Austrialia where Iuon currently have graduates employed too. Anyone considering that exam you can pratise in any Bristish Commonwealth Territories or Countries.

People....Potentiate Nurses..Iuon have the facilities, have well trainned and qualified faculty members to facilitate ones growth..Its you that have to make it work for you, as they say you can bring the donkey to the well but you can't forced it to Drink.! Iuon....Am on board....and i am looking fwd to graduating in April 2010.

if anyone wants to know more about Iuon feel free to contact me or post your response...I'll reply..

GoD bless

I am transfering from another nursing program in California, and I have been to both and compared them. I think this program is a benefit to students who are seeking something different as to what we know as traditional. The school I attended in the California was horrible but I am not going to bad mouth them because each persons take on learning and school is different. I was also in the Navy and experienced a lot of things I hated but I would never bad mouth the Navy and I do not regret being a veteran of our United States. Just because something had a bad take on you it might have a wonderful one on someone else. I am not trying to agrue just looking in from outside the box because I have been there.

I am also a graduate of iuon. My experience there was terrible. I would never do it again even if they paying me this time. They were very deceptive, so if u dont have anything in writing they'll say they didn't say it. When u graduate and want to go back to school prepare for the trouble u'll recieve. Alot of schools wont accept the courses taken there and others u have to go through alot for them to accept it. Your experience may not be the same as mine tho so u'll just have to see. However I recommend this school to no one (not even my worst enemy).
