Hi guys. ITT recently started an ADN program in Orland Park, Illinois, about 40 minutes from Chicago. I have attended the info session, taken the HESI (which was not bad, I scored an 88) and just today met with financial aid to go over tuition and such. I am just wondering if there is anyone out there who is currently in ITT's Orland Park program. According to the nursing director there, I have a very good chance of getting into the program to start this June because of my HESI score, and just wanted to know how current students like or dislike the program thus far?
I have to say I never thought I would ever apply to a technical college but since I have applied to over 5 other colleges (community and universities) and have not gotten in this is a blessing!Yes, tuition is higher then a CC would be, but at this point I am willing to pay higher prices to get in right away.
Also, everyone keeps saying your credits dont transfer and such. Once you have passed your state boards and have an RN license you can pretty much apply to most, not all, but most RN to BSN programs. The only credit that may not transfer are your basic Gen Eds, like english, math, psych....I wont have that problem because all of my Gen Eds were completed at my CC. But for those of you who are starting at ITT from scratch might run into this issue if you plan to go further in your education.
Again, Anyone who is currently a ITT Orland Park, IL student any isight would be great!!! Thanks!
BTW....I finally heard from ITT on Wednesday. A whole 2 weeks before classes start! Bogus! I declined me spot of course, but cant believe how unorganized they seem!
Hey thanks thats great advice! I got most of my gen eds at a ccc but i didnt think they would transfer to ITT. I still have a few more gen eds to take and its nice to know that i dont have to take them at ITT (it saves me money!). Thanks for the insight on ITT courses transferring to a BSN i definitely have to take this into consideration.
i dont know if you were asking me that but i will answer just in case :)
no i have been playing phone tag with the nursing admissions office for about a month so i can get the admissions process started so i dont think i can start in dec but i am definitely trying to start in march. wish me luck.
WOW...so i finally got in touch with the nursing office as i was typing this post. I am scheduled for the information session next week so wish me luck on the test!
