I took mine on the 9th and found out I passed both pharm and fundamental 10 days later 

That's great! sorry late reply again. Me too luckily I pass the APT. How you doing now? I am trying to finish all assignments each week as much as I could. This is our second week now. Hopefully we can do it!

There were lots of technical issues, but the IT staff were kind enough to help me out.

Let me put it this way, 90% of the students have only negative things to say about it and many of them don't wanna talk about it because they are still in the program. My whole batch is so pissed off at school due to unannounced changes that took place. Professors quitting left to right. And for clinical we go to nursing home. How the hell we suppose to get our training in nursing home changing bed linens and diaper changes. As for the exit exam, they purposefully make it harder for students to pass. I took exit exam as well in my lvn school but they give 3 or 4 tries unlike 2 tries and you are out of the program. As for clinical hours they want us to meet their requirements and hours but they don't have clinical sites available for us. Many of us needs to do 20 to 40 days of clinical days in florida but we barely have 4 or 5 days booked. It sucks for us out of state ppl. The only good thing about this program is getting into the program. Yes its easy to get into the program because they want your money and the hardest thing is to graduate. It's all fun and games until u are in the last semester. Let me tell you this now forget about going together for clinicals to florida so u can save your expenses because all the clinical dates are so spread out and prepare for flying there alone and staying there alone. Students are responsible for booking for cliniclas on moodle but the dates arent available. When they opened clinicals weeks ago, they were all booked in minutes and since then nothing is available. I was suppose to graduate in April cuz thats what they told me 10 months because I passed my gap test and now in may they have exit exam date is unsure and I still need to do clinical hours before I can take the exit exam. I m not graduating anytime soon. Give or take maybe graduating in august or September if everything goes planned. Meanwhile everyone in cali is graduating so far on time and are able to go to clinicals. But ichs states its due to covid that clinicals sites arent available. Thats is their job to find clinical spots for us and we pay them for it. Majority of us are working full time, have family , making monthly tuition fees ans still not knowing if we are able to graduate or not. The staff is so rude except one or two instructors but the faculty they don't wanna tale responsibility for anything and they blame it on students. I still recommend finding other schools. Any other school but ichs. Look at other threads, u can find many former students only saying negative things and felt lucky to be able to graduate on time. I pray day and night to be able to graduate. But in the end, its your decision but please try other schools first especially the ones that have financial aid available because those schools are reliable. Good luck

Hi ,

 can I ask do you know any other school that are online for out of state ? Also y’all don’t do online clinical site lls ? Have you graduated yet ?

Hello!  For those who are currently attending ICHS, could you provide their clinical information? I'd like to know if clinicals are held towards the end of every semester or are they scattered throughout the semester?  

Also, are your lecture classes pre-recorded, or do you log in at a certain time for a live lecture?  TIA!

Lots of studying, reading, tests etc. but you will get through it just fine! Keep your eye on the prize! I have a friend who struggled in this program, but she is an RN now and working through a registry as an RN making Covid pay! something like $80-$100/hr.  You will get through this, its way better than going through the lottery and waiting years to get into an RN program here in California!  I'm in this program, about to finish Pharmacology.  its tough, but so worth it! 

You made the right move by joining this program! good luck!

Thank you for this! I’m so ready to start! I passed the APA test so I will start in Medsurg and mental health. What color are the scrubs? Have you done clinicals yet?

@Erica1088 @Hapanese908 hey workload is not an issue. It's the school which is a big problem. The staff doesnt know what they are doing. I know you have all made a decision to go to this school. I d still recommended looking elsewhere. This school should be your last resort. I have been making monthly tuitions among many others. Not everyone gets approved for meritize loan. They keep enrolling students but are not doing enough like for example finding more clinical spots for students so they can graduate. I have been behind like 3 months now past the graduation date they have told me when I started the program. I m telling all of you ahead of time that your graduation will be 3-6 months late  or more regardless if there is covid or not. Thats just how they are. Professor are quitting left to right. Workload is not an issue, Its the school. If you have decided to go to this school. Study Study Study for your exit exam the first day. You fail this twice, they may or may not give you the remediation to take last semester again and take the final test one more time and you cant sit for boards and you are done! Many more reputable schools don't make the exit exam priority and even if you fail the exit, you can sit for boards. I d recommend finding that school. Good luck!

Is the exit exam HESI? or a different one
