Hi guys, I am a LVN in CA and I will be starting ICHS in Feb 2020. Anyone has done the GAP exam? What exactly are they going to be testing us at? Kinda excited and nervous at the same time to go back to school, but not knowing anyone and traveling alone kinda scares me a bit. Can anyone share their experience or thoughts?

Do they require ATI or HESI??

I have responded on ICHS several times same as others. ICHS is the worst school to go to, they always promote their school in a great way but, when you get in, reality kicks. I understand many needs a Nursing license but, ICH should never be an option. There are some schools out there offering online especially, sue to Corona. Some of those schools are Nittigale college, Concordia university Portland Oregon/Texas, university of Texas Arlington, Jay college Florida I heard, Bonnet Florida, Sienna College Florida. 

Please, ICHS is the worst school to go to and sometimes, they might kick you out even before you are done and take your money. You don't learn anything and all clinicals is done in Nursing homes. Worst school ever, they always blame people for their mistakes and never take responsibility for anything. Everyday, different Dean and teachers, sometimes, no clinicals. 

I hope this help. ICHS should never be an option of nursing school.

I'd like to know also what type of test, is it mainly fundamentals of nursing and pharmacology only or the whole general entrance exam type questions.

Thanks for the reply Rmyles71! I looked into Nightenagle too before ICHS but they only have a BSN program and I’m just trying to bridge over to RN at the moment. Also, I would have to travel out of state x5 times for clinicals instead of x3 with ICHS. 

Also, with the clinicals at Nightenagle I was told each time I have a clinical notation I may have to go to different state each time. Which is crazy to me Lolol 

Hi Kallee, I'm looking into starting Feb 2021. Do you mind if I get your email so we can connect? ?

Not sure who your spoke with but I pick my clinical. Good Luck with ICHS

Hi! Can Anyone in the program right now tell me about the clinicals? I was sent this email (shown In attachment ) regarding clinicals and Covid. I’m under the impression that work experience can be used towards hours? And also the last bullet point concurrent clinical practice: Is it saying that I can work with a nurse I know to gain clinical hours as well?

I tried to email you but it says it can come from internal use. I haven't created my ICHS account yet. You can email me if it works, [email protected]

Hi,

I am a current student from ICHS, the ADN pilot program you asking is still pending and no update heard from the school yet, because the school was expecting to resume clinical in early January 2021 however nothing confirm yet. We currently don't have any clinical because of COVID but once the clinical resume we are expected to do our clinical in FL per the school. The concurrent clinical practice only allow limited work experience to replace some of the clinical hours and depend on what setting you working at and what nursing skills you utilize at work. In order to graduate you need Medical/Surgical, psychiatric, OBGYN and Fundamentals clinical experiences and close to total of 800 clinical hours if you want to get license in CA.

Thanks for information! I’m worried that when I start in February that so many other students from past semesters who haven’t had clinicals yet will also be trying to book their clinicals around the same time and there won’t be enough space for all the students....

So, with the attachment I uploaded is an example of a pilot program that’s in the process of possibly getting approved?

Besides the clinicals how are you like the program? I’ve heard bad and good about it and just want someone’s opinion about how it’s going who taking the classes right now. Any information you can provide it much appreciated.
