   Is MCI worth it or is it a scam? In VA if that helps

   CryssieGRN2019 replied to ngillilan1's topic in General Nursing

   Hello, I feel like I have to comment as I am currently a student at MCI VA Beach. No disrespect to your friends, but I find it funny that 9 times out of 10, the people who are spreading these horror stories about the school have not attended classes ...

   ITT Tech.... New RN program, Associates in Applied Science

   CryssieGRN2019 replied to CryssieGRN2019's topic in Virginia

   Thanks for the update on the program. I guess Im just skeptical, because I know the organization as a whole was kind of shady when it came to my husbands education there. He was always top of his class. Student of the Quarter, and never missed a beat...

   CryssieGRN2019 replied to CryssieGRN2019's topic in Virginia

   Thats crazy.. I guess I forgot to mention that was the other reason my husband decided to transfer. I actually just calculated it and the program is 109 credits total between Gen Ed and Core courses. At $468 per credit, that comes out to $51,012 for ...

   Worried about Sentara Program

   CryssieGRN2019 replied to wrn12's topic in Virginia

    What are the wait lists like in VA?

    CryssieGRN2019 replied to Carmen29's topic in Virginia

    Technical schools generally dont have waitlists, but the cost is definitely higher because all costs are included. Sentara School of Health professionals is cheaper up front, but they do require that you pay all incidental cost that must be paid as y...
