BE VERY WARY OF THE Tri-C Nursing Program. My wife was / is a student there. After thousands of dollars spent on tuition and books, and hundreds of hours of homework, class and clinical time, she was dismissed from the program with only 2 clases left to complete it. She now has nothing to show for it. Seems Tri-C's Nursing Program has a policy that states if you fail more then one NURS level course you are dismissed from their program. Other programs in the area are no where near as strict. She failed by only 12 points (out of 360 total possible points), in a semester where my father passed, and her parents were having some health issues. The administrators in the program just did not care, and would not giver her another chance. They can brag that they have the highest NCLEX passage rate in the state. However, you must be able to graduate from the program to take the exam. They use this policy to essentially weed out anyone who they feel would risk their ranking in this category. Their graduation rate is somewhat abyssmal. Most likely, as with my wife, these folks want to complete the program, but are denied. In my opinion, if you are not a straight A student, transfer to one of the other local programs with less stringent requirements, and one where the administrators / instructors actually help their students!
