Hello!
So I've just confirmed to sign up for ICHS (International College of Health Sciences in Boynton Beach, FL) for their February 2022 cohort. I have done an extensive research on hybrid LVN to RN programs, but need a hybrid/online, regardless! I live in Northern California and will be traveling for clinicals, of course.
Is anybody starting in February as well? If so, let's connect!

I graduated 5/20/24. I had a very good experience with ICHS overall; some of my friends did not. Im an LVN that tested put of Pharm and Fundamentals; it took me about 11 months from start to finish. I graduated Magna Cum laude so it's definitely possible to be successful but honestly you need to teach yourself. I used Nursing.com, Saunders NCLEX review, Level Up Nursing and simple nursing. It wasn't easy at all but I killed it. I got a job at a small hospital and im now working on my BSN with Capella; when im done I will start a Masters program to become an NP. Btw im from California

have any of you completed the program ?.. I plan on starting Jan 2024. How was it overall? Any problems with getting lisence endorsed by CA?
The only issue I had was ICHS doesn't put Sociology on their transcripts so I had to wait a month for my former university to send it to the board. Other than that I had no issues. One of my classmates actually took hers directly with California and was working in an LTAC within like 2 months of graduating
What I will say is some of my friends are having a terrible time in the program. They switched from HESI to ATI abruptly and lied about it. They are trying to keep people from cheating so they are throwing them off by switching things back and forth. A lot of people failed Capstone and the exit exam or just passed by the hair on their chinny chin chin. Also, the school is getting more and more strict by the term. People are cheating so much that the school is getting extreme to try to combat it. The clinical experience is subpar; it's SNFs and I was blessed to actually go to a small pediatric hospital. The rest was a bummer. Id say graduate and try your hardest to get into a new grad program so u can get actual training. I gotta hit the ground running; I got a hospital job but not a new grad program. Good luck
