Pittsburgh Technical Institute RN program

Published

Hello everyone!

I was wondering if any one is in PTI RN associates program or in anyone has completed it? I jut curious and was considering the program but I have heard that those credits wouldn't transfer to BSN and it's about 40,000 for an RN associates. Any insight will be appreciated!

Thank you

PTI's School of Nursing has signed articulation agreements with three BSN programs in our region. These programs have reviewed our courses/credits and have agreed to accept them. So the statement that credits won't transfer is false.

PTI is a regionally accredited institution (Middle States Association). Once a nursing graduate of a regionally accredited college achieves licensure, then that graduate becomes a consumer of RN to BSN programs, and can choose a program from literally hundreds of choices. Any of those programs will review PTI courses/credits for possible transfer into a BSN program.

We encourage all graduates to be wise consumers when choosing a program. Unless there is an articulation agreement that details which courses/credits transfer from one school's program to another, and how, it is always at the discretion of the accepting institution. It is wise to shop around for a good fit.

PTI RN program is not accredited as of yet, and only half of a credit transfer, coming from a former LPN and RN student. Please do your own research
