AMEDD ECP HELP

by sboorse

I am currently 36 years old, and on active duty in the Army. I am in the process of putting together my packet for the AECP program. I have a lot of my prereqs done, but still need a few. Anyone that has recently submitted a packet, or did the program, could you please give me some help as how to pick a college or community college that will help me. I do not know where to begin to look for a school. This is something I really would like to do, but need all the help I can get to be able to be successful at this. Thanks to you all in advance that responds to this.

I am not involved in the AECP program, but to perform a general search for 2 year nursing programs, you can search the internet. In the Denvr metro area almost all of the community colleges offer an associates of science in nursing. Hope this helps.

I did not do the ECP but I did all my courses for nursing school while with the Army in Germany. I went through Rio Salado Community College in Phoenix, AZ and did everything -- A&P I & II, Chemistry, Micro etc -- online. It also should be very reasonable in price since you are on active duty. If I recall correctly they give active duty the instate rate of around $60 and hour. The website is www.riosalado.edu. If you are okay with online learning it might work for you.

Welcome!!! First figure out which school you plan to attend (Find one that is near-by and is accredited. Check your state Board of Nursing website to figure out if the school is accredited). Then talk to an academic counselor in-person. Bring any unofficial transcripts you have including from high school to get help with what pre-reqs you will need to complete in order to attend that nursing school. Not all schools are alike so not all nursing schools have the same pre-reqs, co-reqs, or other requirements.

If you need help with your package, talk to some prior military or active duty personal on the Government and Military Nursing forum. http://allnurses.com/government-military-nursing/. GL!

I paid for it out of pocket but it seems they work with military often.
