Hi All!! I need some advice either from ECPI grads, current students, RNs, LPNs, or employers.. I already have a BS degree from a small non-profit liberal arts college in VA but, hate the career I am in, found out it wasn't for me. So, I decided that I want to go back to school to get a degree in nursing as most of my credits should transfer over. However, where I live there is one college that has a BSN program but they don't accept second degree students and the other, a local community college not only serves my area but the surrounding counties as well so the waitlist is long. I was considering ECPI in Richmond as an alternative and am wondering if A) is it worth it? (Meaning can geta job after graduation and B) what do employers think about the school? I have heard that some empoyers dont really care 'where' you went to school as long as you pass the NCLEX and others say the opposite meaning if you went to ECPI or somewhere similar then you can forget about finding a job. Anyway....I just need opinions I don't want to waste my time or money.

Hello Everyone!!! I have a question and I really would like some answers so I can decide where to go from here. So, I have a vision impaitement. Not completely blind but I'm considered low vision. With glasses or contacts my vision is 20/100. I know that's not great but not out of range of legal blindness. My eye physician seems to think its possible as long as I wear glasses but I need to keep in mind of fields of nursing not to pursue such as surgery for example which I do not want to do anyway. The doc also said to talk with nursing advisor or director to confirm the possibility. What do you guys think? I can distinguish colors very well. And i got my CNA license with no problems or accommodations during my exams (skills and written portion) I can do vitals with no problems and my teacher thought I could go further in my career if I wanted. I just want to hear other opinions because I do not want to waste my time or money. Any opinions would be valuable? And if nursing is not a possibility, what about other fields like radiography or tomography? Thank you guys for your advice or information it is much appreciated!!!!! :)
