Hi so my husband will be deploying for 7 months and then we might be heading overseas on PCS orders. I know that people have finished the excelsior program rather quickly and I'm just wanting to hear from people that finished quickly and passed the NCLEX-RN.. My goal would be to move over seas as an RN so that I can find good work and not have to put my career on hold!

Any help would be much appreciated :)

Thanks

As mentioned in this post -- https://allnurses.com/excelsior-college-online/excelsior-college-distance-808335.html -- you can use this link to find a testing center: Locate a Test Center

Otherwise, doing EC is pretty much the same, with the exception that you won't have the option of driving to your CPNE.

Thanks:)

I found out that Misawa has a testing center for EC exams on base... And I also just found out that there are space A flights to settle, WA so I'm wondering if anyone knows if there is a clinical testing site for the CPNE in Washington??

Any info would be really helpful..!

Thanks

Unfortunately there are no test sites in Washington State. There are sites in Texas, Wisconsin, New York, Pennsylvania, and Georgia. You can view them on EC's website if you're logged in, and you might have to be enrolled to see them: https://my.excelsior.edu/group/current-student-myexcelsior/finding-a-test-site. You could use Space A to get to Washington, then go from there. However, as anyone who has ever flown Space A knows, it can be nerve wracking to have your travel plans up in the air, especially when it comes to getting somewhere on time. That might not be the best choice, or you might want to leave days in advance to give yourself plenty of time. Do you have any relatives in the states I listed where there are test sites?

I thought about that and fortunately space A flights go out from Misawa to Washington about every week... However your right I would plan in advance better to be too early then late or crunched for time... I have family in Florida"/ so I don't know I guess I would have to figure it out!! Anymore info you have bring it on and thanks!
