    PatientPassion posted a topic in North Carolina Nursing

  4. Graduating LPN ~ Who's hiring/paying?

    PatientPassion replied to PatientPassion's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    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...

    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...

  6. 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...

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

    PatientPassion replied to PatientPassion's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    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...

    PatientPassion replied to PatientPassion's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    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...

  12. ECPI Nursing Program in Charlotte NC ???

    PatientPassion replied to raeraenp's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    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...

    PatientPassion replied to PatientPassion's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    JessTarod, Take your prerequisites while searching for a bridge program. If youre in the Chrlotte area, I believe the community colleges offer an accelerated BIO 168&16 during the summer, which...

  17. ECPI

    PatientPassion replied to ego2015's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I am personally not in the RN program, but dont think that the ECPI route is the easy way to get your RN. Its easier to get in, but it takes much more EFFORT and COMMITMENT to pass. My number one...

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

    PatientPassion replied to PatientPassion's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Well the exam that actually gets you licensed is taken after you complete all of your classes. If you fail it the first time it can be retaken, but I'm not sure if the wait is 30, 60 or 90 days....

  19. Living in Charlotte-looking into ECPI.. Thoughts?

    PatientPassion replied to Dreamsofbeinganrn's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hi Celena, Well as said before, its not for everybody! Its a commitment. To finish at this school you have to make life fit around school, rather than fit school around life. The price tag for this...

    Just wanted to wish you a congrats on making the ECPI decision. Hopefully you've heard how fast paced and difficult it is and hope you're mentally prepared for it. Despite what you may hear, ask some...

  21. Living in Charlotte-looking into ECPI.. Thoughts?

    PatientPassion replied to Dreamsofbeinganrn's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Yes, as I walk through the school I see nursing classes with only 2,7, 10 people in them when on the day of orientation there's like 30+ in the class. I plan on being here. I love the school. Its a...

  22. Commuting from Charlotte to Winston-Salem

    PatientPassion replied to kroy123pink's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Ok, i understand now, but I'm shocked that with all the nursing jobs open that new nurses would have to travel so far. I'm still a student, and i didn't know that this is what happens in the future...

  23. Commuting from Charlotte to Winston-Salem

    PatientPassion replied to kroy123pink's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I am SERIOUSLY puzzled... And NOT trying to be funny whatsoever. I'm assuming you both are new RN grads. With all the RN jobs I see posted in the Charlotte/gastonia area, WHYYYYYYYYYYYY IN THE WORLD...

  24. Living in Charlotte-looking into ECPI.. Thoughts?

    PatientPassion replied to Dreamsofbeinganrn's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Well as a current DAY student at ECPI, I will tell you this place is not for everyone. As a person who was about to take my pre-reqs for a second time because I've tried for so long to get into the...
