For years, students of PITC Institute’s nursing program have felt silenced, ignored, and mistreated. This is a for-profit private school that claims to prepare future nurses—but too often, it appears more focused on profit than on student success. Students enroll with hopes of building a stable future in healthcare. Instead, many leave with debt, delays, emotional distress, and broken trust. The program is extremely overpriced compared to similar nursing programs, yet lacks the structure, support, and transparency students are promised. Financial aid has been repeatedly mishandled. Pell Grants and loans are delayed, misapplied, or unclear, leaving students confused about balances they never agreed to. Many students are pressured to pay out-of-pocket while aid issues remain unresolved. These financial problems alone have forced students to drop out, fall behind, or face housing and family crises. In March 2025, PITC removed ATI, a standardized and widely used nursing education system, from the curriculum. In its place, the school introduced its own paper exams graded by scantron. These exams are not standardized, not externally reviewed, and not transparent. This gives the school complete control over who passes and who fails, with no reliable way for students to verify accuracy or fairness. High-stakes exams can now determine a student’s future with little accountability. Many instructors lack formal teaching experience. Students are often left to teach themselves through packets and slides, with minimal instruction or guidance. Questions go unanswered. Requests for help are ignored. There is no consistent tutoring system, remediation plan, or academic support. Administration frequently ignores emails—especially when students raise serious concerns. When responses do come, students are often pushed into in-person meetings, leaving no written record. This removes the paper trail that protects students and allows problems to quietly disappear. High-stakes exams are reportedly created at the last minute, sometimes the night before, by administrators who were recently placed into leadership roles without long-term academic oversight experience, or by colleagues outside the country. Students are expected to stake their futures on exams that appear rushed, inconsistent, and unverified. There is little to no student support. No clear grievance process. No reliable academic guidance. No protection when policies suddenly change near graduation. These practices have cost students years of their lives, tens of thousands of dollars, lost job opportunities, mental health struggles, and delayed careers. Many students entered PITC to serve their communities as nurses. Instead, they feel exploited by a system that profits from their hope. This petition is not about revenge. It is about accountability. We are calling for: • A full investigation into PITC Institute’s nursing program • Transparency in financial aid and tuition practices • Fair, standardized, and externally reviewed testing • Properly trained instructors and real student support • Protection for students when policies change Students deserve education—not exploitation. Nursing students deserve support—not silence. Our futures should not be controlled by profit. 
I urge everyone who believes in the right to fair education and transparent academic practices to sign this petition. Your support is essential in amplifying our voices and bringing justice to those who have been wronged. Please sign and share!!!
