Could Excelsior be my answer? Need advise

Ditto Ivanh3. I did the EC program LPN to RN, worked as LPN full-time, did very well on all of the exams, failed 1st CPNE passed 2nd CPNE. That performance exam has little to do with nursing knowledge or experience but has everything to do with how well you can stuff your stress. And at $2000+ a shot, most of us have a wee bit of trouble keeping the stress down. It is really an all or nothing at all exam. It sounds as if you would do better staying in your current school, work your 25 hours, and study the rest of the hours of your life that aren't absolutely necessary for sleeping, eating, commuting. Forget a social life, love life, family life until you finish school. You can do it.

Ditto.
