   Sorry for the late reply Candy. I initially thought it was hard finding a job. I passed my nclex in December and i guess that's what made it hard for me. The whole month of December and the beginning of January i applied EVERYWHERE and started thinki...

3. Attention All LVN/LPN Students!

   PatientPassion replied to CaliLVN-RN's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Dont let my experience scare you... If you really want it, go get it!! Like I say in a few of my posts, this is not a community college, so its important in this program that you make life work around school, not school working around life. It must c...

4. Attention All LVN/LPN Students!

   PatientPassion replied to CaliLVN-RN's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I would personally tell you to get a pharm/med app on your phone. It MIGHT help with your pharm 1&2 classes, but it was a LIFESAVER for clinicals. A book is cool if you happen to have a teacher which is adamant about not using your phone durin...

8. Update on ECPI??? Current Students or Grads??

   PatientPassion replied to PatientPassion's topic in North Carolina

   No, its something I found and applied for on my own. Ecpi does not talk to you about anything outside of what is offered via FAFSA (grants/loans) and their own $200 per month payment plan. Im strictly speaking of my experience at the Charlotte campus...

9. Update on ECPI??? Current Students or Grads??

   PatientPassion replied to PatientPassion's topic in North Carolina

   Well for me, I was unemployed while in ecpi, so I got wia funds which paid 8k toward my tuition. With school loans and grants included, I paid nothing out of pocket but still owe 11k to student loans rather than owing the school any money.

11. ECPI Nursing Program in Charlotte NC ???

    PatientPassion replied to raeraenp's topic in North Carolina

    Hi Rae, transferring in classes will pretty much only apply to your non-nursing courses like both A&P's and your Abnormal psychology. Everything else you'll have to take within ECPI. Im sure someone will correct me if Im wrong, but those are the ...
