Amen sister, I agree, way harder and more self discipline for sure. Good luck , we will keep the fight up.

I have to say, pharmacology is so hard, but interesting.

I really don't care how anyone says it, there is nothing good about ICHS. It is the worst school ever, 90% of their students says negative things about the school, so what's the good thing about them? We went to ICHS and understand that, the school is worst and all about money. You are still in the program and keep hoping to finish as planned. Hope not to get kicked out before even finishing. Anyway, ICHS is the worst school ever, nothing good about them only, the money thing.

Yes Sushi and Amy.... and even Ijeoma....just keep going. ER RN jobs $8K/month@3 twelvehour shifts only. Three on and four off. It's a great lifestyle. Keep doing it. It's worth the work. Glad you all are going for it. And thanks Len for the list of other programs.

@krisdew2 thank you so much! One day at a time. Are you an RN now?

@IJEOMA12I wonder how do you kicked out in school for doing nothing? For working hard as a student? I knew some student in your batch. You were in Capstone when I was doing fundamentals. I was in FL doing clinical when you guys have your live interview with Dr. O. I was wondering what happened to your batch. I’m just being nosy.

@IJEOMA12 I am sorry you have a terrible experienced with ICHS, so far we are doing good. I can’t complain because I know why I ended up in ICHS. Most of us it is not our first choice of school but getting into a nursing program in Cali is like shooting a star. It’s very competitive and ridiculously expensive. One student I met during clinical, she told me she applied nursing school in Ca from south to northern Ca, no school accepted her because she had a low score in TEAS. We are so thankful to ICHs for giving as a chance to become a nurse.

Yeah some got kicked out because, school felt they were talking negatively. Some had to use lawyers to make their case. Some had to keep fighting and pushing. Some are still not done due to failing exit more than 2 times. Anyway, the experiences many in my cohort had was just beyond repair and some couldn't continue with the tensions and threats. Nevertheless, ICHS is the worst school as compare to anything. No one is talking about prestigious schools here, we look at the way ICHS have presented themselves to students over the years. So many negative factors especially, when compared to schools of their kind. They only care about the money and at times, as soon as it is over, you keep asking yourself why? Anyway, all I can say is, there are many better online schools that, are far better than ICHS. I only respond to these emails when ever, it comes to my email box where, some uplift ICHS as if, they are the best. No, not true, ICHS is the worst. A school that presents no hospital experience or clinicals at hospitals where, students can learn and practice real clinical stuff. Keep hoping that, no state Board should hear that, you went to a school that, had no hospital rotations for clinicals. ICHS only care about ridiculous fees but, no teachers to teach the courses. Anyway, I wish you all well in well either way.

Yes I graduated from ICHS but, with the worst experience of all times. Many from my cohort will say the same thing. The constant fights, the struggle, the lies, the hate, the wickedness, the cronie attitudes, the unprofessionalism, so much that, you wonder how did I survive. A school where, you always have to keep fighting sometimes, getting lawyers involved. So, you can see the anguish and anger at times.

@IJEOMA12 oh wow! Must be a big fight between the students and the faculty. I’m sorry to hear that.

Ofcourse I went through similar struggles when it comes to Nursing programs. I applied, applied until I could not anymore. I went to Portland State University got a degree in Social science with the intention to venture easily into nursing but, still could not. I applied at every school in Oregon but, to no avail. At that point, ICHS came up and I immediately took the advantage of that. At the beginning of my time at ICHS, things were fine. Out of a sudden, everything changed from the better to worst. ICHS started showing their through colors where, students where always under treats and stress, living by the day to day hope of finishing. Some got kicked out for no reason while, others had to transfer to another school. Anyway, the point I am making is, just keep hoping to finish successfully without any interference from ICHS. Just continue to hope everything goes well because, ICHS is the worst school ever. Not only in times of teaching but, the stress and threats this school presents to their students at times get to people with surprise. Don't never think it can't happen to you, don't never feel so comfortable until, you have been finally cleared from ICHS. I know many friends from California who complained the same way. I know friends from California who had to switch from ICHS to Bonnet eventhough, some of them where in their 3rd and 4th semester. I know friends in ICHS who are looking for schools to transfer to. So, Just keep hoping everyday for you to be finally cleared from ICHS then, you can say everything is well. I hope it goes well either way.

Most are from California from what I here. I am from Oregon.

Hi Amy,

I see you're in Oregon also. Did you complete the LPN to RN bridge program through ICHS?

Hi,

No, I’m new to the medical field altogether. I was a special ED teacher for years.

but there are people in my classes who are.
