ICHS 2022

Adri2011 · Sep 18, 2023

Hey everyone, I am currently at ICHS clinicals. I ended up failing med surg 2 and OB PEDS by one percent. I plan on retaking again. I was told in an email by the professor that I will get an email regarding on what to do next when the next quarter starts. I am still able to do clinicals for these two that I failed but I cant move forward until after I pass theory again. Do not be scared to come here. It is a little difficult the first round because you have to get familiar and situated with how things flow but the second time around everything gets easier. Just make sure you are not alone! you will fail if you think you can come and be and introvert.

Quite a few have and some friends graduated. You get licensed in Florida after NCLEX then Endorse it to California.

There are many California Nurses from ICHS.

Good to know thanks.. ..so many bad reviews about the school so I'm skeptical ...

Are the tests proctured at ICHS? I have to do math and I hate math so I wanted to know how the algebra class is if anyone knows?

Hi am not sure about if math is proctored because that is just a prerequisite and is not part of the core program.
yes college Algebra is required.
all core nursing program classes including pharmacology and fundamentals utilize proctored exams. I would complete your prerequisite somewhere else because classes are expensive. I heard they accept straightliner prerequisites .

I took College Algebra there. Had Mr. Garcia. He was great. If I remember, the exam was done in Procturio. But yeah, if you want cheaper, go somewhere else or through straighterline.

hi,

I did try doing the algebra through Straighterline and was able to use the photo math app to do the exams but once I did the final I did not pass since I don't remember any of that math at all....

so is the college algebra class easier to do with the school since I would be able to get help from the instructor ect?

The professor I had was awesome. Prepared us well for the exams.

I did algebra through StraighterLine and as long as you score high enough on the quizzes you don't need to pass the final to pass the class. You need an overall 75% for ICHS. I got a 70% the first time and re took the class in a day. It's worth trying again on StraighterLine.

OK thanks I will try again. Are you going to ICHS? what do you think of it if so?

neanea415 · Sep 25, 2023

Yes I'm heading into Capstone. It's a lot of work, but doable. I had to stop working to be able to focus on school. It's expensive but cheaper than a California school with no waiting list.
good luck to you.
