Best

I am currently an RN student at medtech college and I absolutely love it there... The instructors are amazing and they all want to see you succeed... I would most def recommend me...

Worst

I went there because I was not accepted into Ivytech's nursing program, even as an honor roll student. I heard Medtech was a new, for-profit(so very expensive) school, but if I co...

I go to Medtech 8/19/2009

I am going to school at Medtech right now. Some of my classmates told me about Insider Pages, so I wanted to see what was on here. I wish Insider pages would delete some of these comments, especially the ones that list names of teachers and students. The unprofessional, so called ghetto students these comments complain about are written by students that are unprofessional themselves. I had one of the teachers the comments mention. I learned alot from her. She was a tough teacher and she made you work for your grade, but isn't that what college is about? If one of these students goes to work at a hospital will they get on St. Vincent's Insider page and bash their boss? Will they call out a rude patient by name? Will they say "Don't ever take care of Jane Smith, she is a terrible patient. What a joke!" There are alot of negative comments on here that seem pretty stupid. Medtech is a school and a business. People (teachers or administration) sometimes find other jobs and lea more

Medtech College is a credible training institute 8/19/2009

After reading these reviews I think it is absolutely necessary I defend a college that has good programs and an extremely knowledgeable faculty. I am a local health care professional and actually taught billing and coding classes at MedTech for 3 quarters. Clearly, the students posting comments regarding accreditation are not privy to the type of college MedTech is. Schools, such as MTC, are highly regulated by their accrediting bodies. These schools have graduation rates, placement rates, and assessments for all new students. These schools do not accept everyone. What I challange students to ask themselves is this: who should be denied an education if they are willing to pay for it? Should we not let someone attend college because they are poor, a single mother, or "Ghetto?" Or gets to make up the rules about a school's student population. MedTech College is regulated by the ACICS. Look the instituion up. They regulate many, many different schools and answer directly to the more

Medtech College has successful GRADS! 8/18/2009

I recently graduated from MedTech College/Greenwood. Many of my fellow graduates have told me about Insider Pages and all the negative things being written about MedTech. I am dissapointed that students would say things like I have read here. MedTech was one of the best decisions I ever made in my life. Yes, it was hard. No, I did not always like all my teachers or classmates. There is no such thing as a perfect school, perfect teachers, or perfect classmates. You get what you put into it! I started at the Greenwood campus when the school was fairly new. There was transition and a little bit of instability, but that never changed the fact that my teachers wanted me to learn, the school's accreditation, or my abiltity to suceed in my new field. I know exactly why they aren't enrolling new nurses right now. There is no lab sapce at the school! The program isn't suspended, my aunt is a student in their nursing program! I say for anyone that wants an education that will put th more

Medtech College is a good school 8/18/2009

I am a graduate from medtech @ Greenwood. Let me give you some facts about the school. 1st: the school is fully accredited and anyone that says otherwise needs to figure out what accreditation really means, because you obviously don't know. 2nd: I was in the Medical Billing and Coding program and I had wonderful instructors. They were all really successful in the coding field, good at teaching a subject that can be hard, and pushed us to be professionals. 3rd: I was placed into a job 3 days after I graduated. This is not an entry level job. I have a well paying job at a major facility. My hospital was excited about all I knew and learned from my program. 4th: During school, Medtech always had someone there to help me if I had a serious problem. Anyone that would call out teachers and students by their names on a website has no credibility. I encourage anyone that reads these reviews to consider the motivations behind angry posts. more

Medtech College Greenwood 8/18/2009

THIS SCHOOL IS A JOKE! They cant keep a dean or instructors. I had an instructor fall asleep in the middle of class, they replaced her the next week just to give us an instructor that doesnt like or know how to do dosage calculations. Dont be honest with an instructor when they ask what you think about something cause they will write you up for it. They have students waiting to take the certification exam, but they cant cause the school is not accredited, like they tell you when you enroll. The student advisory board, what a joke, they are just kiss asses that can do or say what they want (lynn henery). There is some great instructors (Lori Calvert, Joan Edwards, Joan Champaign), thats a short list. Im not a student that shows up and struggles, im on the deans list and honors. If i wasnt a short program i wouldnt have started, but i did and im getting ready to graduate. Hopefully i will be able to take the certification test and find a job. more

Medtech College is an excellent opportunity 8/17/2009

Hello, I am a previous nursing instructor from Medtech College. Everything that is being said has no real clout. Medtech has worked very, very hard to pursue NLN. Please REMEMBER: this is a voluntary accreditation. It has no bearing on whether a student has recieved a solid education. The hospitals in Indianapolis are very political. They have used NLN as and excuse to help the colleges they have long standing relationships with and keep short-term schools like Medtech from conquering the nursing market. Medtech College will recieve NLN. I have no doubt of this. What students need to keep in mind is there are other cities and towns surrounding Indianapolis that could care less where you went to school, as long as you have your state boards completed. Wow, we spend so much time being so narrow minded instead of focusing on what's really important. Medtech gives students an OPPORTUNITY to recieve an education that other schools won't let you have. Currently, I teach at Ivy Te more

Medtech College is my home! 8/17/2009

I atteneded Medtech for about 6 months but was unable to keep going because I just had a baby. I loved going to school there. I had days when I did not like class but alot of that was because I never liked studying or reading. I am going to return as soon as my son is old enough to attend daycare. People are lying when they say the nursing program is suspended there. They ran out of space in the building and didn't want to put people in clinicals. People are full of it! Sheesh. :( more

Medtech College is not that bad!!!!!!!!!!!! 8/17/2009

I have been reading all the comments about Medtech and I am really sad to see what has been written. It shounds like alot of pissed off students taking their frustrations out on a school that does the best they can with students that don't know how to act right. I have attended both the Indianapolis and the Greenwood campus. I like the teachers a little better at Indy and I like the students more at Greenwood. I will be graduating from Indy in just a few months. My externship has been AMAZING and I have learned so much. My employer is talking about hiring me when I am done. I think it is stupid for people to say all these things. Hello! Have you ever been to college before? This is a medical college...of course you can't have drinks in a classroom. You couldn't take a drink into a hospital lab in the real world, right? The thing about Medtech is, anytime I ever had a problem, I got to talk with someone who listened. Go to IU and see if you can find someone to talk to. Als more

FYI 8/5/2009

I am a nursing instructor in another state. Here are some realities about for profit colleges and nursing programs. First, I agree with the posting by KTa. Second, for profit schools are about making a profit by providing a service. For profit schools are viewed as less than desirable by the state schools because they compete for clinical sites and resources. Many state boards of nursing put up road blocks to make their success difficult and to discourage their entry into nursing education. That being said, Med Tech has probably gone through more hoops than a state not for profit school to provide a nursing program for students. I am bothered by the lack of prerequisites for students. Prerequisites are an indicator of success and most of the classes are designed to provide students with the foundation knowledge to be successful in nursing. Also your credits may not transfer with out them. If they do transfer you will still be required to take them if you want a BSN or MSN in the future more

Medtech College is expensive and new 7/30/2009

I am currently a RN student at The Greenwood Campus. Facts I can attest to are a high turn over rate of instructors, faculty, and office staff. This may be normal but it is problematic for students mid-quarter. The teachers run the gambit from some of the most knowledgable, caring, skilled people I have ever met to people that I honestly do not know what they are doing in front of a class..again this may be normal. The school is on temporary accreditation status with Indiana, and that "may" change after we graduate our first class of RNs. The school is expensive imho. $40k+ for the two year RN program. I knew this when I signed up and weighed it against being wait listed at other schools since Medtech at the time had no wait list. The school is super crazy about rules such as drinking sodas in the hallway...but again I try to remember the various rules no matter how trivial are a way to practice discipline. Many rules are stupid but if you can't follow them how can you be trusted to fo more

Medtech College is horrible-look somewhere else!!! 7/29/2009

Has anyone considered talking to a lawyer for a class action lawsuit to get their money back?? I am one of the many that are currently getting screwed by Med Tech but I have so much invested because the say it will get better (I know I was stupid for trusting them) I don't know what to do. I live in Fort Wayne and believe me that campus isn't any better!! They lie out the butt to get you in and then everything changes. Oh yeah the teachers...... more

Unsure 7/27/2009

I'm considering Medtech but I would like to know what hospitals hire MT grads. I'm having a real hard time with that. I've heard nothing but negative stuff. My biggest problem is that I work full time 8-5. more

I'm taking the chance 7/20/2009

I talked to MTC- Indy and was told they can't apply for NLN accreditation until the first class of RN's graduate, which is this year.They will be applying this December. The students who are starting the nursing program at the school right now will be able to graduate at a newly NLN certified school.\r Also, Indiana Wesleyan accepts MTC credits so if you can't find a job being a MTC graduate, then transfer your credits over to Indiana Wesleyan and get your BSN. All the hospitals I've talked to (Community, St. Francis, Clarian, and the VA) say they will hire an Indiana Wesleyan graduate but not a Med Tech graduate until they are NLN certified. \r \r I live in Greenwood, but would not dare go to the Greenwood campus. I went in the building to get information and nobody wanted to help me. I was very irriated. I was not allowed to talk to the financial aid counselor until I was a student.. HELLO?! It depends if you take my form of financial (the military will pay for my college) before I deci more

Big Mistake 7/15/2009

I used to be a student at Medtech and saw this website and had to give the information about why I decided to quit. While starting Medtech I was told I would be able to get a job "anywhere" once I graduated. After calling around to hospitals not only in Indiana, but also out of state I was informed I would not be able to get a job at very many places at all. The only hospitals that would accept their students were extremely small, and Clarian hospitals head of nursing told me they would not be hiring Medtech grads until they were NLN accredited, and also until Medtech proved that they had quality graduates. She also told me that with so many accredited universities trying to get their students into their hospitals they were not likely to accept Medtech grads soon. Medtech is not NLN accredited. If you are going to be an RN then this will be imperative for you to get a job. It is true that they will have a chance to be accredited after they graduate their first class of nurses, b more

Medtech College is what it is. 7/6/2009

After investigating the school, I decided that MedTech wasn't for me, as it didn't meet my needs of accepting any credit hours from IU (including such basic classes as English Composition) that were required for MedTech's nursing curriculum. What is interesting, is that all the credit hours would transfer for any of MedTech's OTHER degree programs. MedTech College is what it is. What is important, is the value placed of it's programs by the individuals that receive the services that MedTech provides. If one desires an ASN with the hopes to transfer earned credits to a Bachelor's program, then MedTech probably isn't the school of choice for you; as it isn't regionally accredited. Likewise, if all one is interested in is obtaining the necessary training for licensure as an RN without any further expectations, then MedTech is probably is one of the many choices that would be acceptable. However, for what my opinion is worth, after receiving a license to practice a profession, of what more

It's not the best but... 7/4/2009

I am currently a student at the Greenwood Campus at MedTech and I have to say, things aren't as bad as people are making it out to be. The administration is horrible, communication is pretty much nonexhistant, and a lot of the students are rude and completely disrespectful. But as far as the programs go, they are good. I haven't had a problem with one professor, and the success rate of students graduating is good. All of the students who have taken the CPC certification exam (for Medical Billing and Coding) have passed from this campus, which is a huge deal. It may not be a number one choice for everyone, but it is a good school if you want an associates degree in a specific field. Remember, we are not training to be doctors or scientists, so don't expect that. more

Medtech College is deceiving 6/26/2009

My daughter and I just withdrew from Medtech in Greenwood.We are so sad that we were mislead. We were told in a flat out lie the credits would transfer. The accredited aspect is a lie.. They are not and will not become regionally accredited. All the time and money and putting up with the bull crap was for nothing. My daughter after going to Medtech for a year is enrolling as a freshman at a real college. The director told her that Medtech is not a college but a career school. Remember that if you are considering going to this school. There are a lot of other reasons I am not happy about this but if the credits don't transfer and most of the companies will not hire you what is the point of going to this school? more

Medtech College is accredited 6/23/2009

About Medtech Nurses not being able to get a job within Clarian: once the first class of RN's graduate, Medtech will be nationally accredited with the National League of Nursing, so new grads from here will be able to get a job within Clarian. I spoke with Human Resources at Carian to verify this. Also spoke with IU Human Resources and they will hire Medtech students right now, since they are accredited with the state, which they are because I spoke with the Indiana State Board of Nursing to verify that. They are also accredited with the educational boards-they have to be to get federal funding. My point is they are legit, so do some research like I did, and don't get caught up in the gossip and rumors. Negative comments on here may cause some people to get discouraged. more
