I am in the RN program at ECPI. I love it. I disagree with its a waste of time. Ive been in the medical field for 20yrs now. I chose this school because it had no waiting list, small classroom size, and it now offers BSN and MSN. It is accelerated- 5 weeks.No sugar coating. This is not for everyone. But it can be rewarding.
You will need a financial plan. But you need one at any 4 year college. I searched for grants, loans, scholarships, and assistance. I looked everywhere. I was able to find a partnership scholarship, tuition reimbursement through my employeer, and an additional scholarship. The offer a graduating scholarship your last year also. Google and look everywhere. Check your banks, employers, etc. Sometimes they will have a scholarship. Do your research and homework.
I would just say make sure you are committed before coming to this program. Make sure you can make the sacrifices needed to succeed. Be proactive. Before the first day of class I have already skimmed and read the book, made outlines, and studied. You get out of it what you put in it.
I love this nursing program.
