They are scheduled live sessions which are not mandatory to attend due to them posting them as zoom recordings. However it is helpful to attend the live zoom sessions just to be informed and on top of things.

Hi Ana,

im enrolled for Feb next month , did you graduate ICHS or are still attending ?… if so can you tell me how it's going ?.. how is the workload ?… what are Clinicals like?… just trying to find classmates that have experience with the school.  There was a couple people on here today saying they contacted the BON and CA isn't endorsing students from this school ect so I want to talk to someone who is actually attending. Thanks

Hello Anna,

That person was not a student and that was bad information.  All Florida schools went through a review not an investigation. This happened the beginning of 2023 went the 4 florida school were caught giving fraudulent diplomas. ICHS was not one of those school. The school also dealt with a group of students who werr caught cheating on the exit exams and some cohorts awhile back did not pass because of cheating.

The school now has proctoring in place to prevent this. They are improving every semester.  Its like any other school, very hard and alittle unorganized. They have been letting professors go and hiring new ones which are better than the ones we has. You can work while in school as long as you are disciplined and get your assignments done each week.

Clinicals are in various locations around the school. You will have skills labs at the school in 1st semester and 4th semester.

They are not hard. Instructors are cool. It gets alittle strict because of students behavior.  But not bad.

The cost for clinicals is out of pocket.

I graduate next January since I elected to stay with one class a semester. That is an option if you feel you can't handle the normal 2 classes.

Again the school is Not under Investigation by CA BRN. If it was so, we would not be attending. That is old news of a Review not investigation. During the review students were not allowed to take NCLEX. It was not long before it was cleared and some have recently graduated, taken their NCLEX and now working.

So for all the misinformation.

Thanks so much for the insight and thorough response. I appreciate it. Glad it's working out well for you .
