ITT-TECH Student Nurses Roll Call

[amglover93]

Lets all get antiquated since we are sharing sort of the same experiences (as far as school goes).

Tell Us:

Which campus you attend?

How far along you are?

What are your plans after graduating?

What are you doing those far to achieve those plans?

What are some of your struggles?

Also tell us whatever else you feel the need or want to share.

- I attend the Tallahassee, FL campus, this is my first quarter, but I did transfer in with prereqs so I'm currently taking AP2, ENG2, and Strategies for Tech Prof. Also I will be starting my first core nursing courses next quarter (dosage calc/ med Term, and nursing roles 1). After I graduate I most-likely will land a job at the current hospital I work for as a Tech, and I will be seeking my BSN, MSN, PhD; My long term goal is to become a midwife, and to teach. I feel like me being a tech has help prep me to strive for more, I have work in many different areas of nursing (home health, mental health, long- term care) and can say I've just about seen it all. One thing I've learned is that it's important to build a network of medical professionals from which you can get advice and references from. Try and find a certificate program that will get you in the door,or volunteer at medical facilities. Nurses are all ways willing to talk, doctors not such much. I currently struggle with being a new mom, and working, and going to school its a lot on my plate, however I'm learning how to manage and I'm doing pretty well those far.

I just want to say that people try discourage us from attending this school because of the accreditation issue, how I work at the hospital with many nurses whom have graduate from the ITT, and some are even all ready in pursuit of their BSN. With any nursing program comes struggles, but it's how you plan a head, and the research and efforts you put forward, that determines your outcome. Hold your heads high because as soon as you pass the NCLEX, it sets you apart from none, you are a nurse.

Hi Amglover93,

I attend Davie campus in Fort Lauderdale. Currently in Funds 2 getting ready for Med Surg. in the fall yeah..I plan on waiting a year to begin my BSN program. From there I plan to move up to MSN or DNP. I work already in a hospital that I love so I plan on staying there. In order to reach these goals I will continue to study hard and engage in resources that will help me pass the exit exams every quarter. A lot of students don't realize that its more to do besides the assignments on the syllabus. My cohort doesn't practice many rationales. I try to explain that part but they think I over do it. Any who my favorite books to help me succeed are Mary Ann Hogan reviews and Rationales and Success books Davis, Nugent and of course Saunders Nclex. This is my second nursing program and I'm doing so much better than my former college. Good luck in your classes.
