I'm having a hard time deciding wether I should attend ECPI or Fortis. Heard a lot of mixed reviews. If anyone is a current student of either school please leave some feedback. Thanks a lot

Looking into the lpn program but I decided to go else where. Are you going to attend?

No, I can't see spending that kind of money for a LPN. Where did you decide to go? The program I am in is under $10,000 and includes books and clinical uniform.

I'm a student at ECPI. I can tell you now and suggest to NOT go there. It is a good school, but there is too much going on and the nursing program (LPN...not sure bout RN) is going down with it. I like the school, just not what's going on with it
Yeah, I was going to go there but I ended deciding against it. One thing that kinda threw me off was the lack of responses I was getting here on all nurses. I appreciate your feedback. What do you find wrong with the program? Is it the instructors? Do you feel that you're learning anything?

I can tell you that the RN program is trying to improve. It is not a gimmie school. Our class started with 28 and we are down to 7. Working while going here is very difficult (only 2 work full time).
Wow, what happened to all the students? Why did so many drop out?
Only 1 dropped out due to family issues. The rest didn't pass so now they are recycled into the class behind us.

Does Fortis have evening/weekend nursing classes or just daytime?
