Hello Everyone, I wanted to know if anyone have some recent reviews to offer for DNI in Dallas, TX. I am recently unemployed, and I currently take most of my classes at TCC. I want to take advantage of all this free time and actually get started ASAP towards my core classes. I am interested in DNI. I wanted to know if you have to have the prereqs completed before applying to DNI? Also, how is the financial aid and staff. I need as much information, as one can provide. I would really appreciate it. I need to complete A&P I, II, Micro, and Pharmacology. I have all the other classes completed. Would these classes transfer over to a Univ.? Can I take the classes I am lacking at DNI? I am currently enrolled at TCC for A&PI, II, and Pharm.(Spring 2010), but I am ready to get going and done possibly by 2011. I would have to wait until 2011 to start a nursing program, with a community college. Once I complete my lacking pre reqs. I understand and expect things to be hard in the nursing program, most are. Most importantly, I am a really focused single parent of 2 girls:yeah:; things need to happen fast
Again, I really appreciate any information you can provide about DNI:smokin:.
Thank you.

Your classes taken at DNI will not transfer to a university. Your LVN certification WILL transfer though. You just can't quit in the middle of the program. Once you are finished you'll be able to bridge from LVN-RN and your school of choice will let you know which pre-reqs you need to take. For example, El Centro wants A&P, you may have already taken that and your classes at TCC will just need to be evaluated is all. You're actually ahead of the game if you ask me. After DNI, decide which school you'll bridging at and go from there.
Concorde Career Institute also has an LVN program (13 months) and RN program (15 months) just incase you didnt know. Good luck on your endeavors :-)

I'm guessing it's a non-issue now as the original post was from 5 years ago...
True. Maybe it will help someone else searching for these types of schools. :)
