I've been an LVN for two years, working in Medical/Surgical and ICU. Love every minute of it.
Now I am in a 'brick and mortar' LVN to RN program-- and hate it! The school is not yet accredited, and is in jeopardy of not being accredited. I chose those school in January 2009 because Excelsior was being 'looked' at by the TXBON. Now Texas is good with Excelsior until 2017.
Here's the thing. Wanting to leave current RN school (too many issues to explain) mainly because we're teaching ourselves, instrcutors are hostile and above all I cannot work while in this program.
So, when I finished with Excelsior, do you think my experience as an LVN in Medical/Surgical and ICU would help getting into an RN position in a hospital? I really want to do an internship when I graduate, but after reading some posts I know some hospitals are are 'iffy' about Excelsior grads with no "RN clinicals".
Info please!
