As someone who works with with students and instructors frequently- We don't notice how crisp and fresh your uniform is. If you're willing to learn and helpful- we remember that. While it's important to appear professional, I think this email is a l...

I graduated from ECPI Virginia Beach a few years ago and have my BSN now. The program was okay. Plan on getting a BSN- Not from ECPI. I was good with the program until the middle. We were short instructors and they were filling slots with teachers th...

It's hospital and unit dependent. At my facility, LPN's weren't allowed to take doctor's orders or push meds.

I don't know about HPH, but Queen's will probably consider you a new grad. I interviewed there a few weeks ago and the HR manager explained nurses with less than 24 months of floor experience in the role of RN are still new grads. Starting pay in tha...

I interviewed for queens a little while ago. How long did it take for them to make a decision?

Hi everyone, I have a bit of anxiety over being written up today and basically I want to know if getting written up in school will have an impact on my ability to find a job after school. I'm currently in psych clinical, I was paired with another ...

We got the address, but there were three different addresses for three different community service board locations (all had different names). We knew what location we were to be at and the address. When we didn't see any vehicles we figured this was ...

I'm an MCI student about half way through the program. The school is for profit and does cost 40k, but you may transfer in some of your courses. My total program cost is around 25,000 (this includes books, uniforms, etc.). I'm not from Virginia, in...

I know this has to be posted somewhere and answered- I can't find anything and have been searching like a mad person. I'm not familiar with the area or the colleges so if someone could help me I would appreciate it very much. My husband and I are...

Thanks for the feedback. I actually ended up enrolling in MCI's RN program and am about half way through!

You'll need three letters of recommendation. The counselors are pretty upfront, but it's not like they can say "you're in for sure." It's ultimately up to the directors. Don't stress, just do your best and stay positive!

I have no idea how MCI does their GPA thing. Have you taken the pre-req's? Chem, Computers, and Math.. if so, did they transfer? As for the first semester you're in nursing school- don't count on your classes transferring. They may not. My advice:...

The school I am attending uses a nursing grading scale (100-93=A 92-86=B 85-80=C Anything below 80 is failing). It's an associates program and I would like to earn a BSN once I'm finished. When I turn my transcripts in will the BSN school I apply t...

Thanks so much. That's what I assumed, but it seemed odd that a school would want their students graduating with lower GPA's. Though I see the benefit of the strictness of our grading scale.

Hi everyone! I'm a hopeful applying to MCI's August start date- I was curious if anyone else patrolling these boards was putting in an application. I'd love to hear what stage in the application process you're at, how things are going, etc.. good l...

Hey.. does anyone know what month the new class graduates in? Is it January 2013 or later?

I drove to the fresh market today to get a few things and the roads were pretty clear. We're delayed 1 hour Monday so classes don't begin until 9.

I don't know very much about the BSN program (or any program for that matter!)- I do have a list or courses for it from an open house I went to in May. The director spoke very highly of it. They even give you ipad's to work off of :) I remember her ...

I get that, I tend to sleep later when I have night courses and am less productive.

Thanks, I actually found someone who had the list. Congratulations on acceptance! I'm in the days program- what about yourself?

Thanks :) I'm super excited and a little nervous.

I know it's late, but i got the call for the RN program and will be at orientation Friday. Anyone else? Also, does anyone have the program outline for the RN program mods? I had it, but can't find it anywhere.

If your adviser said that I would assume that's the way it is. I always feel stupid when I try to justify what I think happens and then am shut down with the real information :)

Here's the thing- you can't listen to what people say. There are so many rumors about MCI that are untrue. You really need to talk to the adviser you are with- they are wonderful at guiding potential nursing students. To answer your question: From ...

You need to have transcripts evaluated, submit FAFSA, get pre-approval for any private loans needed for the program, submit three letters recommendation, turn in your essay, and I think that's all to meet the 18th deadline. After that you're intervie...
