Have any lpn's or rn's ever used the exceleir program to obtain their RN? If so would you recommend it or not and why?

I have just recently purchase the excelsior program and now I'm concerned. I have noticed that each course has a different exam fee. For example the Sociology exam fee is $70 but the micro fee is $170. I hope this isn't just a money scam

What do the Lpns think about medication aides in skilled care facilities? My facility plans on makings the changes but the date keeps getting pushed back.

Not cheap, but not just a money scam. I'm an EC grad who now works as a NICU RN. There are many of us on Allnurses. Check out the Distance Learning/Independent Study Forum for more info.
