Dear roser13. What you stated was completely true, however in order for someone to get into the nursing program who wants to wait any where from 3 to 5 years for a position to open up in someone's local community college. Especially if you are already a nurse and only have a year in which to obtain your new license. It all a game and it suck.

Please, Please beware those that want to attended Bryant Stratton College, upon entering the school, there is a placement test please, please before you go any further check and make sure you have passed every part. Ask right, then and there ask to retake the test because it will save you time and money. However, if you continue to go on and you did not pass you will have to retake the parts you failed. Especially English if you plan on getting into the nursing program. If you score low the second time you cannot precede in taking the Teas nor will you be allowed into they're nursing program; you will have to select another career. It sucks, but it is their rules just be CAUSTIOUS. And Every Bryant and Stratton is ran differently they do not operate the same I read several posts about, the ATI it is true. The location where I attended my class had to give up our room so the nursing students could take the ATI, one of the student I know stated that she need pass the ATI order to go into the next nursing class and it gave added point to pass the class she had been taking, those that did not do so well in class and on the final and the ATI will have to repeat the class unless this is their second attempt then they are out of the nursing program.

congratulations are in order i am very glad that you made it through, and you are now a nurse. as for my post, i have done my own research. this is my experience. i left ats going to lakeland community college where none of ats class was accepted. i had to start all over again i have the proof to back this up. what i meant about transferring credit that once lakeland is finished and to pursue a bsn at case western school of nursing. i will still have to take an entrance exam and take more classes like english, psychology, etc. i am a very intelligent individual, and i work hard not only to excel in what i accomplish, but also getting my fact straight as well . my opinion about ats will be just that. no. i cannot recommend that institution to anyone . what works for one surely will not work for all.

NO CREDIT WILL TRANSFER!!! it makes no difference if you go to ATS, Brown Mackie, or Bryant Stratton. All other university will make you take an entrance exam before you start a class and depending on where you place on the entrance exam will determined if you how many of their remedial class like math and English before you start any RN program. Remember that other college has to know if you are prepared to become one of their students and how much you know. The school that I am attending will be starting their bridge program in the very near future I am planning to do my RN there. Before you in vest your time read all the posting about ATS I will agree with every negative commit that posted for those that like it and made through I wonder how? I know several hospital that will not take their students.

MzPromise As Informed you in my last thread it not just ATS but any other vocational school that you may attend. Credit will not transfer. The only schools that will transfer credits, would be if you left a school like Cuyahoga community college and you transfer to Case Western or if you went to Lakeland Community college and transfer to Akron University. if you graduate from ATS you will have to start all over again you will have to take a placement test and depending on what your scores are you will be taking that new schools remedial courses math and English, then their prerequisite before you take any of their advance class. so it makes no difference what school you graduate from whether its ATS or any other vocational their credit will not transfer that why each school tells YOU to see what school will take there credits. The higher institution feel like as though you have not been prepare properly. I did not finish their at ATS we went our separate ways. I much happier where I am at.

Your credit will not transfer you will have to start all over again, the college you planning on attending you will have to speak with one of schools advisor who will inform you that you will have to take an entrance exam and depending on where you score on their test, you will start with refresher class like math and english and all othe pre req. even before you are aloud to take any of that school advance class. I spoken with Lakeland Community and Cuyahoga Community and Case Western check it out for your self. wishing you the best.

I am back and disappointed. All I can say is look before you leap ask question get a copy of a student's handbook read it cover to cover before you sign on the dotted line. If you cannot a copy of the student handbook I would question why? If there are any further question leave a posting it will be forwarded to me.

:nurse:thank you for the information you provided. i really appreciate your honesty. i had heard several negative things that had gone on at the school some with it students and teachers. i am going to give this school a chance. i am not and ostrich with its head in the sand. i will be watching. i am a must older person, who has wanted this for a very long time, one who will take a stand if i have to! i will pay my tution and participate in class and studies and complete home work assiginments ,but i expect to be treated in a most professional manner at all times . i am sorry that you had such a hard time of it; to bad you did not get what you needed in writting before you left.

:caduceus: Hello everyone I see that most of these posting about ATS nursing school were posted awhile back. I have been excepted for the August class this fall.
