Hello! I just wanted to update the community with some more recent information!
Firstly I'm currently enrolled there in their 101 class, my class is the first class to have financial aid. the pass rate is at 84% and your allowed to re-mediate if your above 76% ( your allowed to retake 20% of your lowest scored test again to try to pass at the end of the semester)
Pccti uses ATI testing now for benchmark parts of your grade I.e finals and midterm type stuff.
Clinical sites still vary all over the chicagoland suburbs and you're placed randomly regardless if you don't live close by. Also they do not have any current students in any hospital and I personally haven't heard of placement of a hospital in previous classes
here is a list of some of the sites that they've used
Westmont Rehab and nursing westmont il
Countryside nursing center Aurora il
Bridgeview nursing center Bridgeview il
mcauly manor aurora il
tabor hills naperville il
Attendance is only mandatory if the teachers don't have anything else going on in their private life. but if the student misses class you will be held accountable because its mandatory to have so many hours...

The teachers are split up for the week as senior main instructor who is on pccti's board of education and 1 Craigslist teacher. only the senior instructor is allowed to see and review exams. the second one is lecture/powerpoint time/ some lab time.
This post is a work in progress that I want to keep up to date as I progress through the school year. but as a student their who is passing 101 I can't say that I recommend this school to anyone because theirs better options out there. BUT IF YOU DO COME HERE, GET EVERYTHING THEY PROMISE IN WRITING in regards to grades and clinical sites.
Pccti is the worst school i ever attended please believe all that is said about this crappie school because it's all true they dont give a flying **** about the students they only want your money they claim to have 100% nclex pass rates but dont tell you that only about 5 student survive their bs to make it to take the nclex if that many they will change things and there is nothing you can do about it anyone who gives this school a positve review is likely someone whoworks there pretending to be a student i am mad i wasted 5months of my time with them
