International College of Health Sciences

Hi Everyone,

I'm new here and hopefully I'm posting this in the right area. I'm currently an LVN in Ca and looking into a 1 year LVN-RN on-line program based out of Fl. The name of the school is called International College of Health Sciences based out of Boyton Beach, Fl. I was just wondering if anyone here has had some experiences in dealing with this school, currently attending, or could provide any insight into the program. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

I took it last jan so my memoryisn't fresh but to me it just felt like an exit HESI/NCLEX style questions.

cause I keep hearing it's a basic knowledge test but to me nursing is CT. most of their students are passing but if you took back in jan they were giving 2nd chances too but now nomore

Oh, im not sure about second chances. I never heard that. I had 2 friends that only passed fundamentals and didn't get second chances. I know I had med calculations, priority, signs/symptoms type of questions and ob ones I felt I didn't remember LOL
