  1. ECPI University July 2018 ABSN

    Happy818 replied to JennaAnn23's topic in School, College Programs

    The classes that are part of the curriculum cannot be taken in advance. I was a dietitian before entering the program and still had to take the nutrition course

  2. ECPI University July 2018 ABSN

    Happy818 replied to JennaAnn23's topic in School, College Programs

    As for a safe place to stay, there are some nicer apartments in Lake Mary, Altamonte, or Longwood. Those are all close to the campus. A lot of clinicals are in the downtown area so I’d try to stay...

  4. ECPI University MSN-FNP

    Happy818 replied to cgriff08's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    This is not the program for you then. TONS of writing. If there are quizzes, they are irrelevant to the class content. The teachers don’t teach anything- just grade papers. Outdated books. And they...

  5. ECPI University MSN-FNP

    Happy818 replied to cgriff08's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    They have a forum where students post questions and they are generally answered within a day, however I find that many times the questions aren’t answered thoroughly. Many of us are on our own group...

  6. ECPI University MSN-FNP

    Happy818 replied to cgriff08's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    10 weeks in- all online except 2 weekends in VA for 15 hour residency. So far it's been all discussion board writing and additional papers/projects each week. I can't say it's hard, but time...

  10. Anyone starting South University March 2019

    Happy818 replied to Constants's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I ended up choosing ECPI for my FNP and start in May. I did my ABSN there and even though the faculty there will not be teaching the FNP classes, they are well connected in the area and can hopefully...

  11. ECPI University MSN-FNP

    Happy818 replied to cgriff08's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I will be attending the program, starting in May. Tuition is about $28k, 22 months, and they require a BSN with at least 3 months nursing experience. I completed my BSN through their accelerated...

  13. Anyone else regret becoming a nurse?

    Happy818 replied to Florida Sun RN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry that you haven't found what you like within the nursing field. Myself, I've been a dietitian and recently went back for my RN because I wanted to do more holistic care with patients, and am...

    I'm considering the school but will start in May. I haven't heard a lot of positive feedback on the Orlando location, have you researched

  18. FNP whitout RN experience??

    Happy818 replied to chudo161's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm in the same boat. I just graduated, taking NCLEX in 2 weeks, and want to start an NP program right away. St. Andrews University in Miami doesn't require exp and it can be completed in 18 months if...

  19. What made your first year of NP difficult?

    Happy818 replied to BlessedOne's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What type of "nursing" did you do before starting your NP? I'm a recent BSN grad and have no interest in working in a hospital, but seeing that the NP programs are requiring a year of experience, I'm...

  20. ECPI University July 2018 ABSN

    Happy818 replied to JennaAnn23's topic in School, College Programs

    I couldn't disagree more with the above comment. You do receive quite a bit of clinical skill education, however when you enter your clinical rotations you are limited on what you can and cannot do....

  21. Outrageous Complaints

    Happy818 replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Nursing

    A patient asked for a condom because his girlfriend was coming by for a visit.

  22. ECPI University July 2018 ABSN

    Happy818 replied to JennaAnn23's topic in School, College Programs

    You'll see mixed reviews from every program :) The program is good, you'll get a lot of good experience, but it isn't easy. Most students from other schools in the area (Seminole, Valencia or UCF)...

  24. ECPI Orlando ABSN Program January 2018

    Happy818 replied to lauren927's topic in School, College Programs

    If I may provide a suggestion for those moving here from out of town. It's very easy to find a place in the Lake Mary area and be close to school, however, when you start clinical, they are not all...

  25. ECPI University July 2018 ABSN

    Happy818 replied to JennaAnn23's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm going into Q2. After our first quarter, we lost 9 people (they didn't pass one of the classes). We haven't lost anyone due to burnout, etc. The cohort before us has lost 12, I believe, but I know...
