ICHS 2023 (CA student)

[beautynursing, LPN, LVN]

Hi! I'm an LVn (LPN) in CA wanting to do a bridge program to RN this year! Any California students or recently licensed in CA? I know the CA board has become strict with operation nightingale in Florida right now. I heard all FL to CA RN endorsement licenses are on hold?

Anyone have insight?

who did you hear that from. I am in the program now and havent heard anything like that.

Is any one applying for their Oct 2023 start date. Does anyone know if it's full yet? I'm going to apply Monday (it's Saturday night), pending an admission rep gets back with me. My co-worker went here and passed her NCLEX and said the program did her well! I have all my pre-reqs done. Is anyone in the LA area?

What made you decide on IHSC versus Premiere college ?… just wondering I'm still debating but leaning more towards Premiere since it's fully accredited and I may get financial aid... I have a meeting with premier FA tomorrow so I'm goin to base my decision on that... trying to gather all the info I can on both schools so I can make a decision before the start date

I just started October 2nd, and it's going well!

Hi! Just wondering if your coworker shared any negative feedback about scheduling clinicals? I was reading prior threads (2021 and 2022) of students getting delayed with graduation because of lack of clinical rotations available. I wonder if that was a case at all for your coworker.

Personally, I decided against ICHS because I didn't want to fly out last minute and constantly just to do a day or two of clinicals at a time. You need to have an extremely flexible work schedule, able to go last minute, and able to pay for lots of flights.
