ECPI/MCI LPN Program - anyone?

Published

I haven't posted here before..so it's nice to meet all of you =)

I was curious as to whether or not anyone here has gone to ECPI/MCI for their 12 month LPN program. I live in Manassas, VA so I go to their Manassas campus - however the ECPI's in Norfolk and VA Beach have programs as well. My reason for asking is that my class is the first LPN class (to start and graduate in December) for the Manassas campus..and we (my class) has had several issues with the way the school has been ran. I was just wanting to know if anyone had gone to this school, and if so - did you ever have any problems with staff, ways of teaching, rules, etc?? Thanks

Did you just graduate high school? How long is the CC program? I went in to enroll because I have friends that go there and they are all happy. :) The waiting list was too long at CC for me so I chose this to get me through quicker.

The cc program for lpn is only three semesters, fall, spring and summer... yes they make you go summer semester but it is a shorter semester. So the program is about a year. There is no waiting list for the LPN program but they only take 30 people each time but I got in on the first try and if I can do it, anyon can!!! The RN program is harder to get into only because there are more people trying to get in. It just depends on your gpa and your kaplan test scores. I have friends at ECPI lpn program who are really struggling with it. Like I said you get NO free time. But I guess it's diferent for everyone...

Thanks for the response. ECPI told me it was a really intense program so I have prepared myself. I know if my friends can go to school and work FT than I can do it too. Good luck to you in the future.

I started off taking classes towards my LPN at a CC. But wanted a more fast pace school so I could get out in the nursing field. I researched every school, and read every post in reference to a school. Eventually one of my friends attending a school in Richmond told me about RSHT and said she really liked it. My research on the school made me skeptical. But I am now 10 weeks into my LPN program and love it. RSHT down on Williowlawn has a bad reputation in the past. But there are all new management in there, and as long as your in there for the right reason to learn and get your nursing degree your fine. You will get a good education, the teachers are willing to help, and just because there are a few bad apples it doesn't mean it will affect you. The price is very decent compared to MCI. I only have 3 children and will only be walking away with $4,000 in loans. They have another LPN program starting this month. Probably on the 13th. They can work with you to get in quickly.

I don't have anything but going in a speaking with them was helpful. I researched the pass rates for VA and chose MCI because they were one of the highest.

I went to MCI today and took the testing and the recommend the LPN program for me because my math and science were low. I am going to look at the RSHT program as well. Does anyone know what the price is for RSHT?

Sorry to bump, but has anyone here had any experience with the MCI in Raleigh, NC?

Did they give you your graduation certificate or diploma or do you have to wait until you pay back the whole 19k?

When you went to ECPI did they charge the full 29k in one lump sum or did they divide the amount into like Spring, Summer, and Fall?

i worked with their financial aid office and they showed me how to apply for grants, loans, and scholarships. i only had to pay $100 a month in cash.
