Congrat to you!!!!!

I am graduating from Breckinridge school of nursing, Youngstown, Ohio campus March 28, 2015. I paid less for tuition because I had classes from Penn State University transfer. The tuition also covers all of the books needed for the classes. I also want you to know that my clincals were held in well known hospitals like Akron Children's, and many other great hospitals. The program is not perfect, but it is accredited, and they do have to follow rules set by the Ohio Board of Nursing. I have been at the top of my class the entire 27 months. I passed my exit Hesi on the first try with a much higher score than required. (I was the only one in the class that passed the first time) I have taken practice NCLEX exams and have passed with no problem. I have 2 interviews (before graduation) at well know hospitals. One in Pennsylvania, and the other in Ohio. My original class started out with 36, and 5 out of the original are graduating, and 2 failed critical care. (most dropped because they realized that nursing school actually takes dedication and hard work, others failed, and some had personal issues) ..the other 2 that are in our class have yet to pass the exit Hesi...don't blame a school because some people can't pass an exam. The students who work hard, and earn it...graduate. Yes, it is expensive, but I have a degree from Penn State that costs just around the same price and did not include books for each semester. Do your research before you spend the money for an education.

Hi I am looking into startintg this school in fort lauderdale campus next January. Can anyone tell me how many days a week you guys attend and where are clinicals?

Well.. I'm starting September 14th 2015 at the Youngstown, Ohio site. I chose to come here because the other programs in my area were hard for me to get in because I didn't have certain classes in high school required for their programs OR because of issues with financial aid. ITT accepted documents that others wouldn't. I was accepted into Kent State Trumbull but I NEEDED my transcripts from other places and I couldn't get them..

I've read all the negatives about ITT but then saw positives and it pretty much seemed like it depended on the area. For the few reviews I saw for those in my area, it seemed they were doing well and some even graduated and were working. So I am hoping I have a good experience. I like the staff, even though I have not yet met my actual instructors until Sept. 3, 2015 at orientation. I passed the HESI with an 86% i believe. I just hope I do well in the program.

Congratulations and Good Luck. @Tprodgers as always it's always negative and positives to nursing schools you just have to make up your mind and do what is best for you.

@wanttobern classes varies. Some NU Nursing classes are twice a week and others are one. Perquisites are once a week but, all of them are subject to change. Clinicals are done at Nursing Homes, Rehabilitation Centers and Critical Care is done at Memorial. Everything is working out for the best at ITT and I still like it. I hope you will too.

What score do you need on the TEAS test to be accepted into the program?

My school used the Hesi entrance test. I did not take it with them because I took it with another school previously.
