I am a 2nd year nursing student in an associates program with only 9 months until graduation. I got hired as a nurse extern at the largest hospital in my area..I make a lot less than the CNA's and PCT's at the hospital and I do the same thing as them. You can do the job, I promise. :)

Just because one person is bitter doesn't mean it's a bad school.

I'm sorry you had such a horrible experience.. But honestly I love going to ITT. Everyone at the school where I go genuinely care about the students. I have no overnight or weekend clinicals and they are done at prestigious hospitals in my area. A few people in my class have already been told that they will be hired by those hospitals after we graduate. It is expensive, but it's nobody's business how much I pay for my education. I think whichever school you attended is just a bad egg of the group.

Our clinicals are also pass/fail..ours will round from 79.5 also.

I was just wondering because the other schools in my area are 76%. I think 80% is fair, nursing is not supposed to be easy.

My school just changed from the passing grade being a 70% to an 80%..what is the passing score for your schools?

I haven't found anything that fits me the right way either! I'm 5 ft 1/2 inch and I just got my clinical scrub pants (small petite) and I STILL have to roll them up! I wish they thought of us shorties too! :)

I go to ITT Tech in Huntington, WV. I am starting 4th qtr in 2 weeks.

Hey. I go to ITT Tech in WV (Breckinridge) The name wasn't changed completley, it was changed to Breckinridge School of Nursing @ ITT. The reason being that we need to be seperate from the rest of the schools @ ITT (because te nursing program isnt JUST a technical program and it has different requirements and rules than the rest of the programs.) Breckinridge was a nursing pioneer from KY.

In my school, we go 9 months before we go to clinical. I start in September and I have already had both of my fundamentals classes, pharm, a&p1-2, and have learned all basic skills (foleys, iv's, injections, wound care, med pass, etc) and I feel much more confident than having to learn everything in a few weeks and not being able to do anything :) I'm so glad I get to do more than assessments..blah.

This isn't my first semester, because we go by quarters, but I start clinical in my 4th qtr (september) and we go Thursday eve to do our assessments, get our pt, etc..then go friday from 8a-5p!

I go to ITT Tech in WV..it is expensive, but worth it. Of course there are no NCLEX to report, like you said, it's new :) I am getting ready to start my 3rd quarter and I have already learned so much. It's a great program!

Izzy- I go every day but thursday..I am 5 feet tall, brown hair with highlights and usually always with my husband or a blonde lady.. I'm sure we've seen each other lol!

Why are people on here that don't go to/hasn't gone to ITT? Okay, we know we go to a for-profit school..there's no need to get on here and argue about it in the space that could be used for us to talk about our school...please stop :)

Why do people say ITT is "the easy way out?" ITT IS NOT EASY! Believe me!
