ECPI/MCI LPN Program - anyone?

Actually the best nursing program in this are is @ Norfolk State University. At one time they had the best program on the east coast for nursing. What i wrote earlier was not to put MCI down at all, I was just informing the person here who asked about the it the experience i encountered yesterday and what i've heard. am i saying Sentara is the alpha and omega? no. but it is a really good school for nursing here. The only complaints anyone has there is that it's tough. But i'm sure everyone feels their school is tough b/c nursing in itself is tough. Again, all i said was to research the school to make an informed decision. I didn't mean to offend anyone. I apologize if I have in any way. I only said what i would anyone else to tell me if they knew. i researched sentara a lot before i applied. I asked a lot people about the program b/c i wanted to know the good, the bad and the ugly.

I have applied to the school, and they stated that I need to take 2 prereq classes of Chemistry and Computers. At that point I would know if I am accepted or not. I wish I knew a little sooner if I am in or not. They have all my transcript from HS and college. I have already gone to school to be an EMT, and hope that I have enough background to have a little jumpstart.

No concrete schedule yet, no books, but have started studying already for the Chem and A&P.

Wish me luck on getting financial assistance and getting in.

AllieK,
I'm in the same boat, I'm scheduled for the January Class in N.N., VA but need prereqs. I contacted some local colleges and set up a CLEP exam for Chem and I'm scheduled to test out of Comp this week. I hope that will be much quicker than actually taking the class and it also gives me another option. I hate the unknown, I just want to get started. I just went to Finance yesterday and they work with you pretty well, TONS of paperwork so get your W-2's and taxes ready for them. Good luck to you and hope to see you in class.

Well, my orientation is June 24 and class starts June 27th. It is an LPN program also. Sometimes it does seem hard to get concrete answers from them. I think they have to get schedules together and evaluate transcripts of everyone before they know more exact times for everyone. They pretty much want you to be totally available until they figure out what your schedule will be. I dont have to work so that hasnt been an issue for me. I wanted to go on vacation July 4th weekend and needed some info on scheduling to arrange my flight and all they kept saying was 8-430. Well i have Eng, A&P and Dev PSY already, so I figured i might not have a full day for part of the program. All they said was that they have yet to evaluate transcripts and that I may not have class in the afternoons since I have A&P already. Hopefully we will both know a little more at orientation.
How many students did they accept in your class? And I am not sure about clinicals yet.
