I would strongly urge people to avoid the Tri-C nursing program. The will set you up for failure. I have an advanced degree and would consider myself well above average and my future with the nursing program is in great jeopardy. We are part of an experimental program at tri-c where they provide us with pre-recorded lectures and have class two hours a week. We are basically responsible for teaching ourselves all of the information. They give us no test preparation whatsoever. The test questions do not come from the pre-recorded lectures. Sometimes they pull a little sentence out of the book as a test question. Sometimes, the questions do not even come from the book or online lectures. When we ask them what we should study, they tell us "everything". This method is obviously not working for 99% of the students. They really need to consolidate or highlight the important material that we need to know as a nurse instead of inundating us with a overabundance of insignificant material that we forget as soon as we are done with the test. The program is disorganized and the instructors are not helpful at all. From what I understand, Tri-C has a 100% first time pass rate on the NCLEX exam. I suspect they are trying to flunk out all of the students that they feel will not pass first time around. Why not make it mandatory to take a Kaplan NCLEX review course upon completion of the program instead if purposely trying to flunk out so many students.
