ECPI University — Attraction in Poquoson

I enrolled in ECPI in the RN Program. This experience was not good. My first term I felt like they put me in a position to fail. First I went to talk with Stephanie and took my Teas. Once I passed my Teas I was told that classes start Tuesday. I changed my whole life schedule. I get to school and I do not have access to my courses or assignments. It took them a few days. So I am starting off behind and did not get to study for my exam. Then our A&P Lecture teacher did not teach; she read off of PowerPoint slides and had an attitude, Professor Lawrence. I requested extra hands-on assistance but did not receive any help. I spent my term talking to the Administration. Most of the time, the Administration blamed you (the student for their shortcomings). I spoke with the President Connie, Lena Jackson, and Kim Richardson. Mrs. Jackson did sit in to one of our classes and little did we know our Professor and now teach. Professor Lawrence did do much better at the end of the term. Kyle was amazing and was trying his best to do what he could. I had some other opportunities to explore but before I did I wanted to talk with the President Connie and Lena Jackson again. Connie lied in my face and told me she did not know I did not have access to my courses. She also apologized and proceeded to tell me that its nothing that she can do, she gave me a lecture about not giving up and pushed me back to Mrs. Jackson. No accountability. I waited for Mrs. Jackson but she was in a long meeting so I was told to email her and that would be faster, still today no response. Through this process it shows that Administration do not care about their students. The school is too expensive not to care, $52,000 program. I was paying out of pocket. Yesterday I made a decision to join another RN program. I refuse to give an organization my money and time who do not care or appreciate it. No integrity, morals, were given to me. They will do anything for money including setting their students up for failure. Its so much more. But I hope this review helps someone make the best decision for...

Initially, I thought this was a good school because I hadn't seen any bad reviews. I decided to start the Nursing program and was assured they would not be changing any of the program while I was in attendance. 3 weeks into the program my class finds out from our teacher none of the classes we took would count because they had decided to change the program. The director denied the allegations and refused to explain anything to us. At the end of the term we find out that the director Mrs. Martinez lied to us and none of the classes counted. We were then told they would refund all the money they withdrew from my GI Bill( around $3,000). The 5th term my class got a teacher Mrs.Issac she started out a good teacher but we started noticing she would let certain girls in the class cheat and attend class when they wanted. So, we reported her which later the director (Martinez) did nothing about! We then got Issac again towards the end of our nursing classes. She again started letting the girls cheat on test openly, they came and went as they wanted, and she would even drive them to clinical with her. The rest of the class started complaining, and instead of the director and president solving it they came in and decided to accuse those who spoke up of cheating the whole program. Some did cheat as well as the ones they were defending. They decided to suspend me for not reporting cheating (which as I informed in the beginning that I did report). They also refused to give me any paper work to back up allocations they made on me or paperwork stating information based on my suspension. May 7,2019 I went to the school to get my transcripts and find out they're accusing me of owing $3,000 for finical aid. How? When I used my GI Bill. Also, I found out they never paid the VA back the money they took from my GI Bill. Which is the $3,000 they're trying to make me pay back. I do not recommend anybody uses their GI Bill or even attend this schools...

At the Newport News campus there has recently been a change in "superior" and one that I can say even though they are no longer with us what I do no respect is not having communication. You literally learn EVERYTHING about the program by word of mouth from OTHER STUDENTS not faculty or staff. You pay money for a program you want to obviously attend yet they lack SEVERELY in making sure everyone is on the same page. Im sure youre wondering what isn't communicated. Clinical and Class requirements 2.What classes you'll have to complete in order to graduate What classes are needed for the bridge program to crossover & how long the program is.

They honestly need to host a big assembly on classes day 1 to ensure EVERYONE is on the same page bc orientation does not cover nothing to satisfy except getting your scrubs!

I honestly will say the ONLY faculty member that CARES about her program is Coles! She explains she mentors and gets you completely in line without losing any respect for her or disrespecting you as a person!

You say no nails- and I understand that germs! You say moderate makeup- I get that , your going to work. You say natural color hair-I get that, you dont want nothing loud You say no fake lashes and youve completely lost me! I pay between $120-150 for my extensions which are a moderate natural length and you have the nerve to me I cant wear them and I have to take them out, thats just ridiculous! You cant tell me because they may fall off because the same thing happens with hair it sheds just like the hair that comes out of my scalp!

You say on your commercials that youre flexible yet youre not ! youre assigned clinical days and there are to never be more than 10 students on a clinical day when youre able to swap days with another student or possibly reschedule the new director say "no" not because its impossible but simply because "the schedule has been made and thats final" aint that...
