I can understand not taking nursing classes from other institutions. I was hoping that maybe they could take one or two of them. The problem was that she (after I questioned her a bit more about my preqs) led me to believe that many, and she stressed the word "many" of my general ed classes would most likely not be accepted as well, and that I would have (she keep talking about "paying" for their preq classes), to take many of theirs. That's when the $1000+ enrollment fee came in, in order for EC to even look at them. Thanks for the reply!!

I am a experienced paramedic of 18 years. I was already enrolled in a RN program (at a state college with a BSN program) and had completed one semester. I contacted EC to see if my they would accept my preqs and the RN classes that I had already completed. They advised me they would only look at my classes and give me a answer AFTER I enrolled and paid them over $1000. This did not make sense to me, so I questioned them (in a very nice manner) to be sure I was understanding them correctly. The lady on the phone became somewhat rude and then told me they would not accept ANY of my completed nursing courses, and that I would have to take theirs, and will be charged for them. I said, "thank you for your time, as she quickly hung-up on me. Looks like my money is staying in my current RN program.

I am a RN student. I truly understand how hard it can be, especially on test day. I was a 4.0 student prior to nursing school and had medical expr. Then, BAM! What just happened... I need to pass! One strategy that has really helped me was to take a piece of blank paper. Cover the answers, and read the question, TWICE. Then begin to answer the question in your mind. After you have thought it through, remove the paper and find your answer. It works well on our favorite, SELECT ALL THAT APPLY.

Yep, you will get all your instructions in the packet. After orientation, they had us walk over to another building to register. It took a while standing in line, but it was a done deal! Don't be surprised if you do not get the classes you requested. Many of us were put in different classes (clinicals,) and they told us there was nothing they could do about it at that time. It was a busy day. You can also buy some used scrubs etc. from previous students that day, and save some money!
