Excelsior College's RN program has been the best thing since sliced bread for me. You have to have finished at least 50% of the clinicals (that's me) in a traditional RN program, or be an LPN, paramedic, respiratory therapist, etc (you have to check with Excelsior).

I was able to work at my own pace and I completed the program in less than a year. It was a great experience for me because I could work at my own pace and I believe I will be a more solid nurse because of it. I already had a RN position waiting for me before I completed the program. I'm just glad that it was an option. My former traditional RN program was just not the best route for me so I transferred.

I'm sure you will find the best option for you.
