   I'm in the MCI RN program right now - about half way through with it. Yes - it does cost a lot - it's not a secret. And it's not for everyone - it's accelerated and fast paced and it's not easy. They...

    NachoMomma replied to mom78's topic in Virginia Nursing

    As for the prereqs, I don't know if they'll take pass/fail chemistry as a transfer. Did you have a lab? They might though! I know the other transfer rules are that they have to be within 7 years...

    NachoMomma replied to mom78's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Yes- you do take the prereqs at MCI and they're "free" (If you're admitted to the program- if you drop out, then they're $200/class). It's only college math (algebra), computers, and chemistry. If...

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