   Welcome to ECC! This is the way the entire program is. By the way, I checked the board today in front of the skills lab and there is still nothing posted. The "magic message board" asks incoming...

5. Is El Centro the best move??

   NurseSomeday replied to NewCareer78's topic in General Students

   In short, NO! I agree with everything Dream said. I am a 3rd semester student at ECC. This was the best choice for me because of the money. I had to quit my full-time job of 18 years in order to...

    NurseSomeday replied to GeminiTwinRN's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    NurseSomeday replied to Fun2's topic in General Students
