Hello All, I am currently an RN student at MCI newport news is that where you guys are going? if so I have lots of chemisty notes and advice if you have the same teacher I did. I am in A&P II right now and will start Micro soon. So if any of you want notes from any of the classes let me know..

Hello ladies, I was reading your posts because I am enrolled to start the RN program at ECPI in Aug. (Newport News, VA). I have been waiting to take get into the nursing program at many different colleges for years. ECPI is expensive but I think it is worth it. My tuition is 33,000..This includes lab fees, all books, tutouring, Scrubs, Clinicals, and more. They give a 2000k scholarship to their students as well.. you only have to pay 100 a month until you graduate. The program is excellerated that is why it is so expensive. It is only 15 months. At first this worried me because I wondered what their NCLEX passing rate was...well I checked and it is 100%. They have the most amazing technology when it comes to training. The dummies actually tell you if you callapse their vain or blow their vain or anything that could possibly go wrong. I think if you are planning to become an RN and are sick of waiting ECPI is the best way to go. You have to take the TEAS exam, get 3 letters of reccomendation, write an essay, 2 Interveiws with the nursing directors, and take Chem, Math and computers. These 3 classes are included in your tuition and they are all 5 weeks long and you take them together right before you start nursing school. EPCI's credits for the RN program do trasfer so you are able to get your BSN if you wanted. I am not sure if this recently changed but I asked that question prior to enrollment. I do plan to get a masters specializing in oncology so it was important for me to know that. Well, I just wanted you to know that ECPI is actually a pretty good way to go...it is expensive but you only have to pay $100 a month and you may have to take out student loans...They gave me 25 websites for scholarships after I passed my TEAS and enrolled. I even got the $2000 scholarship from the school itself the day I enrolled (you automatically get it if you are a military spouse). I was just sick of waiting and got right into this school within a week of finding it. So in 15 months (after 3 years on waiting lists) I will be an RN. Its worth it to me...you can wait forever to get in to a cheaper school that takes over 2 years for your AS or you can pay more and start working making 30+ an hour and pay off you student debt before you would even graduate from another school.
