Hello,
I start classes on the 18th and I was wondering if anybody else planned on starting with me or was there someone already in the program that could tell me what it was like.
Thanks

Be aware that:
You are a guinea pig. Your program has no published NCLEX pass rate. In other states it is as low as 60%.
Your program has no national nursing accreditation. You will not be allowed to work in selective hospitals or for the federal government.
Your program has no regional academic accreditation. Your degree will not be accepted by but a tiny handful of other for-profit schools.
Your program is one of the most expensive out there.
Your potential employers know all these facts. You deserve to know them too.
Good luck.

SummitRN, you are exactly right! I've heard and know that the ITT Technical Imsritute Nursing program is a waste of time, money, and stress. People try to get the easy way out of getting a nursing degree without finding out that their short cut can cause major distruction.This year I start my BSN classes in the Fall! I am so excited, because I earnestly worked hard academically to deserve a extraordinary priveledged spot in an incredible program! I heard that once you graduate fro ITT,, it's hard to find employent almost immediately. Most people want the title as RN, but at what cost??? I know that the economy is in distress but if you're in nursing for the money, shame on you and may God have mercy on your soul!
