ECPI Raleigh ADN

Published

Hey everyone! I wanted to start a thread for anyone planning on attending or have already attended ECPI's ADN program in Raleigh. I'd love to hear any experiences you've had with the RN program. How was your class schedule? How were clinicals? And if you aren't in the program yet but plan to attend, when are you applying? I spoke with an enrollment counselor a couple of days ago and am hoping to start in January. Would love to get in contact with others who plan to do the same! ?

I didn't know there was an ECPI ADN program. I looked at Miller-Motte many years ago and they only had CMA programs. Something about the BON putting a limit on how many students each school can have.

There are many community colleges that are great schools and so much cheaper.

Honest opinion here?‍♀️

I’m in the last few months of the LPN program at the Raleigh campus. I can’t speak for the RN program, but I will say ECPI definitely isn’t for everyone. You get 16 week long courses condensed into 5 week courses. Class is mostly 8-4:30 Monday-Friday, 1 clinical day per week (at first). These programs are expensive, more than 3x what you would pay at a community college ?.
I don’t want to say anything negative about ECPI because personally the LPN program has worked for me, but when it comes to completing my LPN to RN bridge I would definitely want to go through a traditional route at a community college (even though ECPIs credits don’t transfer ?)

im so sorry! I had forgotten about the credits not transferring. I wonder how that affect RN-BSN. Would someone end up having to do a whole 4 year program??

From what I’ve been told yes, prerequisites and all! ECPI offers their own online RN-BSN program and although it probably costs an arm and a leg as well, it’s the only way to avoid completely starting over somewhere else. ?

Hi there,

I also plan to start in January. I didn't even know ECPI had an accelerated nursing program. I know it will be expensive and tough but I think completing the program sooner is worth it. I also hope to get some outside scholarship money.
