I am a LPN student who is graduating December. I am looking at excelsior for my LPN-RN transition. I am excited at the aspect of earning my ADN totally online, minus the CPNE, but am worried that the degree would not look as good as going to a typical local college, with normal clinicals etc. After completing my RN from wherever, I plan on applying directly to FNP program utilizing my previous BA to bypass BSN requirement. I am concerned that a degree from Excelsior College may reflect poorly on me when applying to the NP program, and was curious if anyone had any experience with this situation. My ultimate goal is definitely NP, and I don't want to ruin my chances getting into a program by attending Excelsior. Any info is helpful!
