It wasn't for me. Way too much (approx 50K) for an associates degree. Credits don't transfer if you want to go on to get a BSN. Just sounded like a scam to me. No one could give me a straight answer on the schedule. First they say that you can work it around your job, family, etc. and then later they say you need to be flexible. Glad I attended the seminar though so I know what to look for in a school.

Is anyone going to the nursing seminar at ITT Tech tonight at 430pm? I haven't heard one positive thing about this program or school so not sure what to expect.

Thank you for the info. I had no idea the credits were not transferable. That makes a big difference! I can see how they get people in with the no waiting/no prerequisites, but the credits transferring is huge for me. I am still going to go to the seminar to see what they have to say, but I'm sure it will be more than I want to pay for an ADN. Plus the class starts December 7 already and I'm not sure I'm ready to start that soon!

I am going to a nursing seminar at ITT Tech in Phoenix. It is new and was wondering if anyone has heard anything about it?

Meximel.... I live in Surprise and am most likely going to be taking classes at Glendale as well. As far as the Banner program, you can apply after your pre reqs are done, correct?

Wow, congrats on getting accepted to the Banner program! I just looked it up and it sounds great. I am getting very excited about pursuing my nursing career. I am signing up to do my prerequisite classes and then will look into the Banner program myself! I'm sure it will be a long wait to start the nursing program with the community college, but hopefully my patience will pay off. I heard the online science classes for Rio Salado are pretty hard. What did you think?

Thanks for the help! So are both of you doing the nursing program through the community college? Which one? Those private schools are just way too much money. I have the time to wait to get into the class since I don't really want to start working till my daughter is about 3 years old. So the community college sounds like it is the way to go.

Hello! Just found this site today while looking for schools. Seems like a really good place to ask for advice. I am looking to become an RN after recently getting laid off at my job at United Airlines:cry:. All I have is a high school diploma, so I have no idea what pre-req's I even need to start. I have looked online at Everest, Apollo, and Chamberlain. I have no idea what the tuition on any of these are since they all want you to come in to talk to them. That is a little hard with a 1 year old at home and a 6 year old to pick up from school. And I hate the pushiness of those people! So any advice would be great! Also, what is the general opinion of getting an LPN and doing the LPN-RN bridge later?
