Actually they did inform us they were denied. They did my class anyway. Along with some of the things on the list that need fixed. But, they also said the school is 100% for getting the NLNAC accreditation. If you look under the candidacy status list, they are still listed. I have seen some changes made and they are expecting a visit here in the next year. They have to wait at least a year before the NLN can visit again. If you don't want to deal with it, go somewhere else. I just don't think ITT is a horrible school.

Yes Ms Tee, it was a difficult decision but I do feel good about it.

Thank you so much for this Ms. Tee, I also tried for 6yrs to get in at Ivy Tech and my A's weren't high enough. I worried about it for so long. I heard about ITT and prayed about it. I researched for over a year about the school and asked questions. Finally, I decided to take the entrance exam. I prayed as I was going up the stairs, "Lord, your will be done". He knows how stressed out I have been about school and how much research I have done. He knows my needs and he knows my worries. I told the Lord if he wants me in the program, I would be accepted. I was accepted. That's all I need...

Well, I'll just have to say, I'm in my 3rd quarter at ITT. I know for a fact at least 4 RNs who have graduated and have jobs. I don't remember all of the hospitals that are hiring them but I know Indiana Orthopaedic Hospital and Community South will hire ITT Tech RNs. The only reason hospitals won't hire ITT Tech graduates is because they are not NLN accredited yet. This is an optional accreditation. It is what hospitals consider 'magnet status'. If a hospital is going for a 'magnet status' they will not hire unless the school is NLN accredited. I work with an RN from Medtech, however, she was not thrilled with the program. But that doesn't mean you can't get a job and you aren't qualified. You take and pass the same test as everyone else. I did research on ITT for a full year before deciding to apply. I contacted the NLN, they said ITT was currently in 'condidacy status'. They had a couple of things they needed to change and I have seen changes being made through the school. I am not aware to how serious the changes are, but I can say, the teacher I have had have been wonderful. They are very educated and have patience. And yes, the classes go to the very end. Now, they have added prerequisites to my class. My class is the first one that has to take Microbiology. So, I'm not saying the school is perfect, but they have shown signs of at least 'trying'. I suggest doing your research. If you are worried about it, go to Marion. It's a 3year Bach program. I know a girl who took pre-reqs for one semester and got in the next semester. But, I don't think I'm going to throw ITT out the window.
