Anyone in the Virginia Beach area know about schools for LPN?

Published

Hello -

I'm in a toss up between a few schools. Done my research but would like to see if there are any fellow Va Beach/Hampton Roads area students on here that may know about or went to some of these schools.

Im looking at MCI (through ECPI University), Fortis College and Centura.

If anyone has these schools in their area any advice or experiences are greatly appreciated too.

Thank you :)

Hello.

I just finished Centura in Richmond. I enjoyed every minute of it. My instructors were great & the clinical sites were good.

I know it's not in the area you were looking for, but I just wanted to give my 2 cents about the school. :-) Good luck on your search!!

How long is their program? I have an appt to see them but haven't been yet.

MCI is 14 months and Fortis is 15 months.

I go to MCI in Virginia Beach, this is my second week. I also looked at fortis which I liked but I was worried b/c of the accreditation status. Their tuition was a little bit lower, but I decided to go to MCI. If you have any specific questions I can try and help answer for you just let me know!!

I'm starting Fortis College in Norfolk and wanted to know current students input. I already have most of my basic classes so don't have much to go. Any input is helpful. Thanks

I have never heard anything good about Fortis.
