ECPI/MCI LPN Program - anyone?

I suppose to start September 28th. But its the ECPI in Greenville Full-Time. Good luck everyone in the ventures of nursing. TEAS wasn't so bad. I considered working a night shift and going to school during the day but on a scale of 1 - 10 with 10 being the hardest ... how was the first week?

I am sorry to hear that...but the next class starts in Dec. The number is 919-571-0057! Good luck!!!

The first week was...thinking....... a 7 3/4...almost a 8! It goes by sooo fast and you have ALOT to get in 5 weeks! I cried for the first time today because I made a 78 on my first a&p test...but I can make it up with doing better on my next test!

Passing is a 80 or above!

Oh but I made a 96 on my 1st math test!

Oh my goodness! Keep up the hard work. I guess I should start studying the basics of everything before I run out of the door on the first day screaming. *lol* 78 isn't so bad ... you were like 2 points shy and as long as you can make up for it ... that's alll that matters. I can totally understand your tears and fears of getting a low score though. Keep me posted on your status! :-) I can't wait to start school again.

YES ECPI IS Pricey...and for nothing... I attended ECPI MCI to earn my LPN which I did... But I had teachers put me down. None of them really ever helped me. and we had 4 deans of Nursing while I was there and I just looked at the website and they have new one now... The rules are crazy and some teacher's didn't teach us a thing at clinicals ...well they taught us CNA stuff...I have been a CNA for 6 years I paid to be a LPN...

I am truly sorry for the fact that the teachers put you down. I had something similar while I was trying to make it through CNA training but from the students. I basically put it towards my efforts at doing better to get by to avoid any drama. I hate drama in general and if I can avoid it all cost I will. I was wondering ... what books did they supply you with for the LPN program at ECPI? Maybe since I got a few weeks before it starts, I could go to the library and veg out and study until I can't breathe. *lol* ECPI is a little pricey and steep but luckily I got full coverage and enough to spare for the next level of training. I thought about completing the LPN program here and then move on to the RN program or BSN program that they offer up in Virginia Beach. My admission guy said I would get a substantial amount of tuition dropped off for continuing with MCI but I'd best talk to VA for SC doesn't offer the same programs. I walked through CNA training with a breeze but I will be slightly dissappointed if I go through the same training again to obtain a higher degree of learning :-/.

I am actually moving to Raleigh NC from a small town about an hour away to hopefully attend ECPI for the December LPN program. I have to retake part of the TEAS but I am confident I will get in. After financial aid is done how much does the tuition drop down to? I heard as low as 10 to 15 thousand.

After financial aid ... all I have to pay out of pocket was 700.00 for the LPN program but it varies for different people. I got scholarships and grants to back me up for everything. I've yet to find out how much it will cost to go from the ECPI - LPN to RN in VA. Good luck on your ventures in nursing!

Trying to get in the LPN program for Dec., and tonight I went to the meet-n-greet. I got all my questions anwsered and now I wait.
