I am a 3rd quarter RN MedTech student. I agree that they have things to work on. I don't know anywhere that doesn't have some issues. They are working hard to improve things. Make suggestions (polietly). As far as not feeling prepared once graduated they make it clear this is an excelerated course and you have to do A LOT of OUT OF CLASS WORK. If you do not take full advantage of the resources availble and do not seek further instruction until you are comfortable you will not feel prepared. The entire staff of MedTech is willing to assist in any way they can. COMMUNICATE POLIETLY and you will be amazed at the results. Don't get me wrong I have a few issues myself, but I know if I went anywhere else I'd have things there too. MedTech does now take some transfers, there are certain things you can test out of, there are some schools that will take credits so you may further your education, and the LPN is accredited and RN is going for review the end of this year I believe. They are making strides in the right direction. Be patient and understanding. No matter where you go you will have to deal with different problems and learning all that you can is up to you the resources are here. I'll get off my soapbox now... LOL

Yep we have to pass ATI test too.

We are only allowed to review our tests with the instructor at a scheduled time if we want to. Other than that we do not see our tests either. I understand to a point, but it is helpful to see what you missed so you can go back and review it.

Yes, I would sacrifice. I am currently making a lot of sacrifices myself to go to night school. It will be worth it in the long run and there's no time like the present. Just think you will be done and can make more money and get in somewhere that you can advance. :-) It's better to finish now then worry and wait. I've personally put this off for years and now am glad to just push on through and move forward. Good luck!!!!
