Is anyone currently attending this program or have in the past? What was your experience with them? Also what was the cost of your program. Thanks.

Tuition for the nursing program at ITT Technical Institute costs about $60,000. And click on the website link below from the Oklahoma Board of Nursing. The NCLEX pass rates for ITT Tech's nursing program are horrible, with only 48% of graduates able to pass on the first attempt. I personally would not pay that much money for a nursing program that fails to adequately prepare its graduates.

Here's an afterthought. The OKC area has multiple schools of nursing at colleges with good reputations: OU, OCU, OSU-OKC, Rose State, OCCC, OBU, Langston, Southern Nazarene, University of Central Oklahoma, and others.

With ITT Technical Institute listed on your job applications, employers might be under the impression that you couldn't get accepted into a more reputable school of nursing.

My financial aid is messed up so I'm stuck looking for a school that will give me aid. I started school in SC and had to move mid semester to OK so when I started at OSU OKC I was on a financial aid warning but was unaware. That semester I passed two classes and failed two so I was put on financial aid suspension. I didn't really understand how the financial aid worked then. If I transfer to any other school that suspension will follow me but some of the private schools may still grant me aid. My only other option is to go to OSU OKC and pay out of pocket to get my completion ratio up. I don't work so I have no way to do this. I had a loan at my old school and its time to start paying back and I can't. They told me if I enrolled in school I wouldn't have to pay right now. I don't know what else to do. I really want to finish school so I can pay back my loans with no issue.

They have a higher pass rate than that I just graduated from there, and I passed my boards and already have an awesome job

I just graduated from the Tulsa campus which has high pass rate, I was able to get a great job at OSU medical center, and I passed my boards first time, I had a great experience at the Tulsa campus, and I also start my BSN through Kaplan university, all of my credits transferred over with no problem

The Oklahoma Board of Nursing does not lie or post false NCLEX pass rates. Both ITT campuses have low pass rates, as evidenced by the BON records.

I never said they lied, I actually read the bon board minutes to their meetings to see where they stood, and what I read there was that there was 100% I don't believe they would lie either. Nonetheless I know several itt-tech graduates who passed their boards the first time.

So if I am on financial aid suspension could I still attend itt for the rn program? I would lie to start now but if not will have to pay for 23 credits to possibly get my financial aid back. To bad I missed the march start date, I should have asked them this earlier.

I'm 100 percent sure that ITT Technical Institute, doing business as the Breckinridge School of Nursing, has a financial aid department staffed with officers who can accurately answer this question.

At what point do they get shut down by the BON? I declined acceptance to a school that was on probation for having pass rates in the 60s.

The Oklahoma BON seems a tad bit more lenient than other state BONs when dealing with nursing programs whose first-time NCLEX pass rates are repeatedly substandard. Anyhow, the 2014 NCLEX pass rates were tabulated.

The OKC campus of ITT Technical Institute had a 2014 NCLEX pass rate of 26 percent. In other words, 74 percent of ITT's OKC grads failed NCLEX on their first attempts.

The Tulsa campus of ITT Technical Institute's NCLEX pass rate for 2014 was 60 percent, so 40 percent of Tulsa's ITT grads failed NCLEX on their first attempts.
