  1. "For Profit" Schools? (sorry so long!)

    iluvmysailor posted a topic in Virginia Nursing

    (This was cross posted on the student nurses in general section, but thought I'd post it here for the local connection. I'm talking about ODU and TCC and then ECPI/MCI and Virginia Career Institute....

  2. Cheapest school in Hampton Roads

    iluvmysailor replied to HeatherMax's topic in Virginia Nursing

    When I filled out paperwork to start, my tuition was only $30,000 not $40,000. I'm still looking at TCC. I'm taking sociology online and applying for next year. I was trying for MCI in Jan. I was...

  3. MCI-Transferring Credits

    iluvmysailor replied to sunshine327's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I wanted to update here for anyone that was curious about information that the DON at the VB told me about the NLN accredidation. I was concerned because NLN says only the NN ADN program and the BSN...

  4. MCI RN and LPN Program

    iluvmysailor replied to MrzJAZZEErn2b's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I agree - don't transfer in the middle. If you want the RN, take the prereqs and follow that plan. Getting your LPN to get your RN right after will take longer to your goal and cost more money. If...

  5. MCI Student RN Program

    iluvmysailor replied to sunshine327's topic in Virginia Nursing

    After my test he walked my letters of recommendation, my test scores, and my unofficial transcripts (I brought them with me) to the DON and came back in the office and threw the interview...

  6. MCI Virginia Beach!!!!

    iluvmysailor replied to mom78's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Good luck ladies! My rep said that the TEAS scores have the greatest weight, then your grades in the pre-reqs (especially chemistry) if you took the prereqs there then will ask your teachers about...

  7. MCI Student RN Program

    iluvmysailor replied to sunshine327's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I was told that I had the highest TEAS scores coming in, too. After my test my admissions rep took my scores to the director and came back and said there was no second interview needed. I had a...

  8. MCI Student RN Program

    iluvmysailor replied to sunshine327's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Thanks- I'm in it. My last post said I was enrolled. I know my rep can't guarantee anything. However, I also know that I have to have one of the highest TEAS scores and a 4.0 GPA. My letters of...

  9. MCI Virginia Beach!!!!

    iluvmysailor replied to mom78's topic in Virginia Nursing

    That's awesome! Are you taking day or night computer class? I'm in the night one b/c I still have classes at ODU during the day. But I want the day

  10. MCI Virginia Beach!!!!

    iluvmysailor replied to mom78's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Darn! I just typed out a response and then my page refreshed! I still have one prereq - the computer class and I start it Dec 1st. Because of my high TEAS and letters of recommendation, I was told...

  11. "For Profit" Schools? (sorry so long!)

    iluvmysailor replied to iluvmysailor's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Thanks for you reply. It is expensive and it is a business. They are sales people and I directly asked my sales rep/admissions counselor about "his cut" and he said that he does get a bonus when I...

  12. MCI Student RN Program

    iluvmysailor replied to sunshine327's topic in Virginia Nursing

    TEAS is done and it was awesome. I'm going to take the computer class starting Dec 1st and he said if my chem transcript comes in on time then I should be in the January class! *doing a little...

  13. Not sure where to start

    iluvmysailor replied to tonyg128's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I totally agree with Six! Everyone has to start somewhere and it's never too late! My mom just graduated with her bachelor's two years ago at the age of fifty. If you're still interested in being...

  14. What about practical nursing programs??

    iluvmysailor replied to Carmen29's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I don't know where in VA you're going, but I'm in Hampton Roads and I know about some of the programs around here! Adults can apply to them and they're usually about 18 months and they all start in...

  15. "For Profit" Schools? (sorry so long!)

    iluvmysailor replied to iluvmysailor's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Thanks! I'm committing to the RN program here. I was only considering the LPN program because of time but I would want to go back to get my RN later. By pursuing my RN now, I won't have to go back...

  16. MCI Grads - Question regarding Employment

    iluvmysailor replied to justme68_86's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I've heard that that they have a great career assistance team and most students have jobs lined up three months before graduation. Are you starting in

  17. "For Profit" Schools? (sorry so long!)

    iluvmysailor replied to iluvmysailor's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Thanks for the opinions! We're not moving for another two years or so, so I have the time to complete the RN program if I can start sooner. I have all prereqs except a computer class. If I apply...

  18. Discouraged.....

    iluvmysailor replied to MrsTLC's topic in Virginia Nursing

    GRRR! How frustrating! Hang in there! I don't know what I'd do, but whatever decision you make will be the right one! Good

  19. MCI Student RN Program

    iluvmysailor replied to sunshine327's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Just wanted to update if anyone was curious- I went in today and talked to admissions (at VB campus) and was told that if I can get my transcripts in on time (i'm enrolled in chem now at ODU) that...

  20. "For Profit" Schools? (sorry so long!)

    iluvmysailor posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I've been taking prereqs to apply to the RN programs where I am (we have an ADN through a community college and a BSN through a university). My husband is in the navy and we found out that we're not...

  21. "For Profit" Schools? (sorry so long!)

    iluvmysailor posted a topic in General Students

  22. Which is the better program?

    iluvmysailor replied to Katie1971's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I agree! I'd at least start at TCC to get those prereqs done - it's so much cheaper! ODU's program is four years. If you go to TCC for prereqs, you can apply for the accelerated program which is 2...

  23. MCI Student RN Program

    iluvmysailor replied to sunshine327's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I have the chem and math prereqs from another school, but I don't have a computer class. Do you think I'm too late to apply for the Jan class? Do you know when the next starting class

  24. how could I be so stupid?

    iluvmysailor replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in Virginia Nursing

    How frustrating! Does your school offer a dynamic session? Maybe you could wipe it out in a couple of weeks before the application deadline? If you must wait until the fall to apply, you could...

  25. Evening Program at TCC

    iluvmysailor replied to Katie1971's topic in Virginia Nursing

    My understanding is that it's fulltime day time only. I don't remember when she (the advisor when I went) told me that clinicals started, but everyone had to be available for various shifts. You...
