    So I'm a Paramedic for in the state of Florida and looking to attend The Excelsior college for Nursing .. I have a ton of question about the college its self and the Program. My first of many is Did everyone enjoy this process, second why does it take so long to take the clinical (CPNE). Also to any of you graduates have you had any problems finding work or because you went to an online nursing school do they look differently at you and your skills and knowledge. Thank you so much for any info you have.

    Question: How many exams in all are there to take?
    I know the first one you can take without being enrolled..
    the 2nd one you're exempt as an LPN...
    and the 3rd one you do have to be enrolled to take it...
    so how many exams are there all together from the 1st to the CPNE?
    thanks :-)

    I just heard that Ohio is not going to except excelsior or online degrees after this year. I was still kind of thinking of doing the online degree, but not if this is going to be the case.
    I called the OBN last week and they never said they were going to stop accepting Excelsior. The education lady I spoke with gave me all the info I needed. I'm sure if they were going to stop she would have mentioned it?? I had to call because I will be doing this out of country(military wife). So the lady was quite aware I wouldn't be finished before the end of the year.

    Excelsior is a NY program, so you'd want to check with the PA BON about recognizing out-of-state programs. It won't be on the list of PA programs.

    For everyone that has graduated from Excelsior College's nursing program, was it hard for you to get a job?

    You can buy the books anywhere -- I bought some of mine used on Amazon.com for very little money. Yes, if you fail an exam, you must pay for the re-test.
