Transfering Credits from MCI VA Beach

CryssieGRN2019, LPN · Feb 21, 2008

We actually talked about that in our class tonight. One of my classmates said that ODU wouldnt be taking her credits from MCI's RN program. I can't understand why, because if you can get an associates degree from our school that is recognized by the accreditation agencies, it should be treated as if you have completed two years of college, and nothing less. Its ridiculous if you ask me. :nono: Are you trying to get your BSN? MCI just announced they are having a BSN hybrid and online program which is 9months long. I cant speak for the accreditation yet, because its a new program, but I would imagine that the same accreditation they are using for the RN(ASN) program, then they will be taking accrediting the BSN program.

Yeah I was considering doing the program through MCI but I was thinking that since the program only starts in May the number of people that would be enrolling would be crazy!! Plus they are requiring 6 months of work experience as an RN and I won't have that. The program is also partly online and I'm not sure I can really learn that way. I was browsing the ODU site yesterday and they said you need all these other classes that we don't have to even apply to the program!! I just hope that we can get in somewhere.

MCI has an articulation agreement with Norfolk State from what I have been told, so you shouldnt have a problem getting into NSU

I haven't found a univeristy yet that accepted MCIs credits. However, there are many RN to BSN programs at most univeristies and it doesn't matter how you got your RN. As long as you are a RN, you can do most bridge programs.

Oh, I forgot to add that the reason that universities will not accept the credits is because MCIs credits are "accelerated" as it is an accelerated program....well, that is what Hampton University told me anyways.
