Hello all sorry it takes me so long to respont. i am never really on here. how ever i am happy to answer all questions you all have plz email me at babygirl . lox81 @ gmail thats the best way to get me. if you noticed i spaced the email because they dont really like use to post emails here i will respond within a few minutes of the emails. thanks in for understanding. FYI clinical sites are all over. when i started we did one day at once facility then we were moved to another place. but ill tell yall all about that. and for the one thats doing that weekend class its tougher because what we get in a week they pack it all into two days. so good luck with that.

Where is your clinical

It's the same at pccti but if u have 76% u get the chance to remediate and bring it up

Remediation is what you have to do if you don't score a 84% in n101. They let you take 40% of your exams to increase your score. I was thinking about ats but when I factored in the additional cost. It wasn't working for me. The Tuition At Pccti included everything. Books uniforms and supplies came up to be a difference of about 12k under ATS don't get me wrong you have to do what's best for you just for me ATS wasn't a good fit. I wish you luck on starting

Well i havent posted in a while but i just wanted to share some insight on my journey with PCCTI. While i can say it has not been all fun and games. I will say that ive had my ups and downs. In the beginning i felt like i was being set up for failure but after going through the process i can see why they make it so hard. We were told on our first day to take a look around the class because half wouldnt make it to the end. I though this was the worst thing ever to hear. Yet it was true. Here we are at the end of our N101 and only a hand full of students made it to remediation. Let me say that my class started out kinda big. Towards the middle half that disappeared. some for personal issues and some were just not happy no matter what. towards the end it was 15 going into the final and ATi. of that 10 made it to remediation. when i tell you these test are no joke believe me. it wasnt until i made it to remediation that i got the concept of test taking (when it come to nursing exams) i passed out of remediation now im waiting on N102 to start. While i am not a advocate for any school. What i will say is do your homework and if you in a situation like I was in when i made the choice to come to PCCTI then you do what you have to do. Try you hardest not to remediate because its hell getting out. Most of the stuff you all have heard yes its true. but you have to know what you overall purpose is. thats getting the knowledge you need to pass that NCLEX. nothing in life worth having is easy. Just keep pusing. I have met some wonderful people in my class we have a bond like no other. I am pulling for the 10 of use that went to remediation to make it. so far half are out we pulling for the other half. my last thing i can say if you go into remediation try your best to go in at a high 80 that way you wont have as many points to make up. i read some where on here they say you can take up to 20% of your exams to bring you to the 84% is actually 40% they let you retake. you just have to work at it. im open if you all have any questions. on my count down.

I started March 31 as well. Where are you all attending school

Thanks I'll keep ya posted

Congrats I start Monday 3/31 I can't wait

Hi, all I'm so excited yet very nervous. I start my LPN program on Monday 3/31. I'm existed because I've been trying to get in a program for so long and now it's finally happening. :) What scares me is I don't know what to expect. I'm sure Monday will be an orientation to the program but what next? I'm the type that like to stay up on every thing. I need to know what supplies I will need. Because I hate to ask people to borrow anything. Should I pack a light snack lord I just don't know can anyone give me some feed back.

So true I had my physical today. Because I had no clue of my childhood immunization my doctor did the tither. Results take about 7 days. I'm sure I had them all just don't have the records. Good luck.

I am soo happy I passed my teas exam today. Program starts march 31 can't wait

ive been trying to get in triton program for 2 years they go by a point system and im lacking about 2 points so my app gets pushed out. im not sure but i dont think pccti is a good fit for me. for one i am not into paying all that money and not getting the proper education that im paying for so its like im paying to teach myself no way.........i looked into nwiht, northbrook nursing school but im still going to try triton again.

Why would I want to do that if you saying they unorganized I can't deal

hello all i did a lot of research and from what i can see the post about this school are old. Well i went on a visit the other day and what i can tell you is that i have mixed emotions about the school. Lets start with location. yes its downtown and easy to get to but that breeze coming off that lake. O Gawd!!!!! secondly to me it looks more of a business arrangement than a school when i walked in the building im like o my its a school here. when i got to the second floor it just looked like a lot of office space with papers on that door that read classroom1, classroom2 humm i was kinda shocked. The guy at the desk was quick to get me from in front of the desk area as he ushered me through some doors to speak with someone about enrolling. Here's where i kinda felt like this wasnt a fit for me. For starters i wanted to know about transferring my credits into the school. (i have all my pre reqs for what ever program i get in) needless to say i was told that i would still have to take their placement test and if i didnt score high enough on their english i would have to retake it with them. i explained that i had taken english 101 and passed. the lady told me that if it wasnt taken in the last year they wouldnt take it. Now im looking at her like what the heck you talking about. when did their become a time limit on english? i let her continue bascially it boild down to me transferring my a&p in if i scored high enough on their science placement. to me that sealed the deal. then she went on to say that if my classes were accepted then that would cut my program from 16 months to 12 months. No books, uniforms, patches and a whole lot of other stuff are not included in the tuition. so the brake down she gave me was the program would run between 28k to 30k.........yikes..............for a lpn program nawl i will pass on that. thats just toooooooooooooooooooooo much money. so im back at the table looking for a school to attend. if you have any suggestions please feel free to contact me.
