  1. MCI Virginia Beach!!!!

    When you open up the ADN NCLEX pass rates on the VABON website, it automatically opens up to the 2nd worksheet (that has TCC on it), but the first sheet has MCI and other schools on it.
  2. MCI Va Beach

    The post titled MCI Virginia Beach!!! will answer a lot of your questions!
  3. MCI Virginia Beach!!!!

    It's true - BSN is the way to go, but for many it's not a possible option option right away. A lot of ADN students have plans to further their education to the BSN program. MCI now has the full accreditidation for the BSN program (you can verify on t...
  4. MCI Virginia Beach!!!!

    Yeah - the 15 months was the deal maker for me - as long as you get through it! Faster doesn't mean it's easier and if you make below an 80, then you have wait about two or three months for the class to come around again to retake it. About the accr...
  5. MCI Virginia Beach!!!!

    You'll get the review sheet at the office at MCI - it's given to the registrar for her to review your course description. Day time and night time RN is 15 months. The LPN is 12 months. It is about $40,000 - but it flucuates and it may not be that mu...
  6. MCI Virginia Beach!!!!

    They accepted my chemistry from ODU. You have to provide a course description, an official transcript, and a signed review sheet.
  7. MCI 's cost is ridiculas

    I'm in the MCI RN program right now - about half way through with it. Yes - it does cost a lot - it's not a secret. And it's not for everyone - it's accelerated and fast paced and it's not easy. They don't transfer in a lot of classes - like A&P ...
  8. MCI-Transferring Credits

    I was told by NLN and DON that you have to be a student at the school when they do the site visit. The BSN's site visit was in January. The ADN's site visit is in October. For the class that just graduated and the one that graduates next, they will n...
  9. MCI Virginia Beach!!!!

    It's hard to say how "intense" it is - some have no problems and some really struggle with time management. Most students have a harder time in the night program mainly b/c they're also working full time. I'm in days and a lot of people in my class...
  10. MCI Virginia Beach!!!!

    The drops are usually because of failing or absences. Because the classes are only five weeks long, they have a very strict 80% attendance policy. If you're class meets twice a week, then you can only miss twice. If you get sick or your kids get s...
  11. MCI Virginia Beach!!!!

    In study group today, we were talking about getting a NCLEX review book, but thought maybe to hold off until we got the nursing classes. Maybe I will pick one up after all! It hadn't even crossed my mind to look at a care plan book- but I think I w...
  12. MCI Virginia Beach!!!!

    Thanks for the extra info about the clinicals and careplans! I haven't gotten there yet, but I'm excited to. I've heard about those care plans and knew they were in intense, but I didn't realize they were 8-10 pages or at least 10 hours! Wow! How ma...
  13. MCI Virginia Beach!!!!

    As for the prereqs, I don't know if they'll take pass/fail chemistry as a transfer. Did you have a lab? They might though! I know the other transfer rules are that they have to be within 7 years unless you have a degree. I'm in the group that ju...
  14. MCI Virginia Beach!!!!

    Yes- you do take the prereqs at MCI and they're "free" (If you're admitted to the program- if you drop out, then they're $200/class). It's only college math (algebra), computers, and chemistry. If you've taken these, then they'll more than likely t...
  15. Is MCI worth it or is it a scam? In VA if that helps

    I think it varies. I was talking to a student in the BSN program and she said that in her ADN program they started with 25 and 21 made it to the end. However, the class that just graduated in January started with 30 and only 9 made it on time. The...
